    Hi Guys, it's been a while. I've got an issue with my 94 CC Dually (in avatar). The truck is fitted with a remote starter, and has been since just after i bought it. I don't know if the remote has anything to do with this or not. I don't drive it very often and the last two times I did, the...

    NEW TOY!!!!

    I just picked up a 87 300sdl with 300k miles. Runs great. I drove it from S.C. to New Orleans a few days ago. Pretty nice old car! Interior and exterior are in good shape. Everything except the sunroof works. Gonna play with it for a little while and figure out what I want to do with it! Any...

    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...

    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;

    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...

    Ford pisses me off!!

    You may recall that my truck was stolen recently. Trans is slipping & it turns out the TC is fried. 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...

    What's better?

    Hi guys, It turns out that the Ford dealer says my trans is OK, (still under warranty) but the torque converter is cooked. (this is from the recent theft) They've quoted the ins. co $1843 to replace it, change the burnt fluid & a new filter. I'm wondering if there is a better than stock TC...

    I need some tune up advise

    I took my truck (the 94) to the Ford store to get the code read when the trans went into limp mode. ( tach sensor - no big deal) The mech. that drove it said it needs a tune up bad! Seemed OK to me untill then. He said it "bogs", anyway now it feels underpowered to me> AHH! the power of...

    I need some suggestions......

    I had a tire on the rear come apart and boogered up the fender. I can fix the fiberglass easily, but I'm considering the possibility of matching the old paint as not too good. So, i think this might be a good time to consider adding a design, or some graphics to the old girl. ( Just tryin' to...

    Damn #@Q&%$##@ tire!!!!!

    I blew my o/s l/r tire about an hour ago! Well, it didn't blow - still has 70# of air in it - but the tread peeled off at about 45 mph and beat the hell out of the fender! Damn it!!! Oh well, at least it's fiberglass & easy to fix, but - - - Damn it!!! I hope I can match the red. Chuck

    fuel filter light

    I don't know if this has anything to do withanything or not, but I put a gallon of used oil in each tank, and shortly there after, the fuel filter light came on. I filtered the oil through a filter funnel used for auto paint. You know the one you pour the paint through into the paint gun. I dont...

    Stupid question - -

    At least probably a stupid question. If you were to replace the head bolts one at the time torquing as you go, and then re-torquing in sequence, could you replace the head bolts with out need to replace an otherwise good headgasket? Or would this be a waste? If it would work, it sounds like...

    WTB Case 360

    I know this is out of the ordinary, but worth a shot. My son in law is looking for a Case 360 w/backhoe attachment. Wants something with low hours and of course diesel. Anybody?

    Improved Mileage via turbo?

    I know this is out of the norm for this forum, but I wanted to see if you guys ever heard of such. One of my subcontractors has a Chevy dually, late model, with a gas big block. We went to lunch in his truck, and I noticed he has a boost gauge on the windshield pod. I couldn't help but ask why...

    Got gauges!!! Now what should they read?

    Finally picked up the truck from the mechanic (94 IDI) and the gauges are installed. Got the pyro,trans temp, and boost on the windshield pod. Got the oil press., and engine temp in little idividual cannisters on the steering column. (oil press kinda blocks the fuel guage) my mistake though, he...

    Whee do I install the pyro thermo dealie?

    I will be installing the guages tomorrow. Pyro, trans temp, vac/boost, oil pressure, and engine temp. I'm good on all but two; where do I install the pyro thing (I know it goes before the turbo) but how close to the manifold or to the turbo? Also if I remember correctly the sending unit for...

    Hard to start, need a little guidance--

    Guys, I've seen some threads on here about hard starting, but since I didn't have the problem, I didn't pay much attention (I'll learn one day!). Anyway, the truck (94 IDI), when I bought it last fall was in good working order. I had a remote starter installed and it worked very well. The...
