    Shocks?!?

    Howdy y’all. Got a bit of an inconsistent issue. I’ve got a rough ride(yes I know these trucks ride like tanks sometimes). I posted about the issue awhile ago. It’s almost like a death wobble, for a very breif period of time (maybe 5 seconds) and then it goes away, also it goes away if I speed...

    I’m confused. Lol.

    Okay guys. Here’s one for you. I replaced my thermostat yesterday and all went well I believe. No leaks after getting it up to temp and driving it around, and letting it cook twice. Here’s the weird part. As y’all know you have to take off all that stuff on that side of the engine(alternator...

    Issues yet again.

    Howdy all, I have an issue I brought to y’all about 1 year ago. I have no crank from the key. Now how I fixed it last time was a ran a wire from the ignition switch, to the ignition terminal(small one) on the solenoid. Yes I know bypassing the NSS is bad, but I’m the only one to drive it and...

    Alignment Help.

    Hello all, having some issues with my wheel alignment. I’m a little pissed off. My truck had to go into The shop to get the front hubs , rotors, and brakes all redone. That went well and all, but they threw my alignment off. I had .5 inch spacers on the front, and the truck was aligned with...

    Weird sound like a cylinder is missing.

    Hey y’all I figured out the issue with the glow plug system. There were two wires that were loose in the passenger side connector that feel the plugs, and I only disconnected and rewired one of them. Got them put together and the truck fires up now. New issue, of course. There is a sound that...

    Glow plug/Wait to Start Light.

    Hey y’all, I got the new controller hooked in, but I have an issue that is more of an annoyance. The glow plug light will not come on when I turn the key. If I turn the key I can go back to the front of the truck and listen to the relay wirr, and then click off after about 10-15 seconds. So the...

    Glow Plug Relay?!!

    Hello all. I posted a few days ago, with a glow plug light that wouldn’t come on anymore when I put the ignition switch to the one position. I took out the relay( it is a 1985 truck that was given the update to the 1987 glow plug system). I fixed any loose connections. I took out the relay and...

    Injection pump?

    Hello all, I’m at a loss. I just looked up the injection pump part number for my truck(1985 F250, 6.9 idi). The injection pump that I have in there according to the part number is for a 1987 6.9 idi. Is there really a big difference in the injection pumps between the years 1985 and 1987 to...
