    Water leaking into cab

    Since I patched my floorboards and replaced the carpet, I’ve been chasing and sealing water leaks into the cab. I re-sealed my drip rails that were leaking down the pillars, and I re-sealed the cowl that was leaking next to the trans tunnel. I thought I had everything sealed, but last time it...

    SMF Clutch kit

    I thought all the SMFs used interchangeable pilot bearings (as long as the flywheels are for the same year/trans, etc.) but hopefully someone else can confirm. I used the bearings that came with my Luk kit, but since then I’ve seen several people say that the pilot bearing in the kit isn’t...

    SMF Clutch kit

    I installed the Luk 07225 kit in my truck 2 years ago. The clutch that I replaced said perfection on it, so I assume it’s the same one you’re seeing on Rockauto. I did notice an increase in rollover noise with the luk clutch, but maybe the springs in the old clutch were more worn out/softer and...

    Sterling 10.25 oil leak

    It seems like the pinion seals usually leak because the pinion bearing is loose and allowing the pinion to move around. If that bearing is bad, I would just find a good used axle to swap in. That’s what I did.

    Another good reason to stay out of Calif.

    This is a REALLY smart idea!

    Unknown electronics?

    Did you cut it open and see what it looked like inside? I’d be curious as heck

    Another good reason to stay out of Calif.

    Do you guys remember when Edmund’s did some testing a couple years ago and found that you emit more emissions running a leaf blower for 1/2 hour than you would driving a ford raptor all the way from Texas to Alaska? That’s when it really hit me how clean cars are nowadays. I don’t think there is...

    Unknown electronics?

    That amplifies the signal from the water in fuel sensor and lights up the warning light on the dash. I haven’t seen one with a transparent cover, I wonder if yours got replaced somewhere along the way.

    Truck Registration

    I just paid $78 for Ohio the other day. No inspections or smog here either. My minivan was only $50ish.

    1984 6.9 IDI, C6, 4WD, Broken Transmission Adapter (Because I'm stupid).

    The only advice I have to add is that I recommend you get a couple extra long 1/2 bolts or some threaded rod to use as guides when you re-install your transmission. I fought mine for an hour trying to get them lined up, and then went to the store to get some long bolts. 5 minutes later I was...

    Charging question

    If you have a nice big vise you can probably figure out how to use it to crimp the cables as well. I think you’d be hard pressed to make it for much less than you can buy them pre-made though. Here’s one for $105 on Amazon: https://a.co/d/2GYQD8R

    Molded carpet

    My advice is to not buy the cheapest one you can find. I bought LMC truck’s cheapest option and wasn’t happy with it. It didn’t fit well at all, and the jute pad on the back was about 1/2 the thickness of OEM. If anyone knows of a quality supplier I would be interested in re-doing it.

    "Diesel" emblem

    I stumbled across this today browsing bronco graveyard and remembered that somebody had posted looking for it. Figured I’d close the loop for you or anyone else looking: https://shop.broncograveyard.com/mobile/1987-1991-Ford-F-Series-Truck-Diesel-Emblem/productinfo/35125D/

    What is the part I’m missing? Ignition trim?

    You can get a new lock cylinder and matching keys for $18 on Amazon: Dorman 924-866 Ignition Lock Cylinder Compatible with Select Ford / Lincoln / Mercury Models...

    Clutch pedal bracket crack

    I believe you can get the bushing on Amazon too. I would at least take it apart and grease everything before you install it. Now would also be a great time to install a firewall stiffening plate, whether you make it or buy one. My pedal bushings are worn, and I was toying with the idea of...

    Clutch wont disengage.. Need ideas!!

    I’d also check for play in the linkages between the clutch pedal and the master cylinder. There are bushings in the pedal assembly, and a notorious bushing on the pushrod going into the master cylinder. All these bushings are plastic and likely have play. Look up “heim joint mod” for the one on...

    Clutch pedal bracket crack

    Around me there are a couple people who buy up junk Ford trucks and part them out. If you have Facebook marketplace I’d do a search there.

    Carter P4070 Electric fuel pump failures.

    Great find cubey! I wish that gauge had a needle so it matched my other aftermarket gauges a little better, but the price on this one is hard to beat. Let us know what you think, if it seems to work for you I’ll be ordering one as well!

    Carter P4070 Electric fuel pump failures.

    Sorry I should have googled first. I was thinking of the max tow double vision: https://www.maxtow.com/black-green-maxtow-15-psi-fuel-pressure-gauge/

    Carter P4070 Electric fuel pump failures.

    I believe glowshift makes a 0-15 psi electric fuel gauge for about $125. That’s the cheapest I was able to find. I do plan on adding one of these eventually.

    Clutch Questions!

    I’ve had the Luk 07225 kit in my truck for about 2 years now, but only about 10k miles. I had a perfection clutch before that (both SMF). The luk definitely seems to have more rollover noise than the perfection did, but it’s only really annoying when I’m in slow moving traffic.

    clutch master?

    I have the LuK LMC170 on my truck. I can’t find the bore listed anywhere, but I can tell you it works great.

    interior screws, original or not? and where to get them?

    I do believe LMC sells the screws, but I’ve had these ones saved on Amazon for a while and they look pretty dang close to the originals to me: https://a.co/d/3U5UUCp

    Zd29s vs Zd9s...for the inquiring mind...

    I’m tempted to buy one or two of every brand of glow plug we can think of, and make a test stand with an automatic timer relay that heats them all for 15 seconds every ten minutes. After 1000 cycles we can compare them all.

    Anti Gel Product (Howes)

    This is exactly what project farm found in the video that kdo58 posted. He said he had to run the test twice before he could believe that Howes caused more wear than ULSD alone.
