    95 PS problem, what is it??

    Thanks in advance for the help! I'm looking at a 95 F350 with a weird problem. It will start and run fine for about 15 minutes. Doesn't matter if driving or sitting at idle. Then it shuts off. It will re-start but immediately shut off. Let it sit for 2 or 3 hours, and it will run for 15 min...

    Oil Pressure Questions

    I had the same thing happen when I replaced my turbo! I read my oil pressure at the turbo. Been driving it that way for over 2 years, nothing has changed, no worse no better. So I guess it's ok!?!? Dunno!?!? Chuck

    e4od problem

    I bought a Ford re-man. Came with a 3 year 75.000 mile warranty (includes labor). I've had no problems with it, but it was kinda expensive! Chuck

    is this good are bad

    Sounds pretty good for what it is. FWIW I've been complaining about mine getting 7 to 11 mpg. I used some Lucas diesel injector cleaner @ about double the recommended dosage for two tanks. Checked it yesterday and averaged 14.9 !!!!!!! That was just runnin' around town. I'm impressed! I'm...

    fuel filler mod

    I haven't done any mod or harpooned the tank. I fought fueling for a couple of years till I found a pump that I fill up in a reasonable time at. It wasn't the pump; the conrete at the pump caused the truck to lean to the passenger side. I now carry 2 1' pieces of 2x8 nailed together in my tool...

    Encouragement needed!

    FWIW I bought a F700 a few years ago that only had 18k miles from a local fire dept.. I, like you, thought I would never get ahead of all the problems associated with age and just sitting. The allison trans went out uder the 1st good load. I also found out that although the mileage was low, the...

    Need a turbo

    Hi guys. I'm having to put a motor in my 00 f350. Bought a f450 to get the engine & trans (both recent Ford re-mans) but the turbo has oil puddle in the comp. side. The mech wants $300 to rebuild it. Anyone got a good one for less? (exchange no problem) Thanks, Chuck

    Need some pointers;

    OK, I know 1400 deg. is high, thats why I put it in the info. I've not decided to put in the cummins just yet, but want to know what it would cost to do it. The divorce, and current circumstances make it a financial, (not a "want to") decision. I intend on keeping the truck, so the cummins...

    Need some pointers;

    Well, it's been a while since I've been in here, and a lot has changed, but I still have the 94 350, and the 99 250. I'll post more on me later, but I sure could use some good advice here. The 94 (idi) gets poor mileage ( around 7 mpg pulling light loads). I just drove a 92 250 non turbo that...

I asked you guys if there is a better unit than stock & found out about about BTS and another if Fla. 6 times the clutch area! The trans is about a year old (Ford re-man) and cost $3200. 3 year...
