    Am I barking up the wrong tree?

    Had to charge both batteries today after trying to start in two attempts with the normal ten seconds on-twenty seconds off cycle... Got one back on and fully charged, so started wondering if starter had a small short to ground... Nope, so with the ground cable attached to battery, I discovered...

    Automatic hubs

    My passenger side automatic locking hub (Dana 60 Monobeam) needs to be overhauled... Started making noise similar to timing belt or the sound the chain in transfer case makes... Replaced both inner and outer bearings and races with a new seal... Noticed that the grease around the hub changed...

    At the end of my wits... Help!!!

    For the past month, my return caps have been leaking pretty bad and getting worse... I'm leaving puddles of fuel under the engine and now the stuff drips from all over the undersides of the truck when I park! It's really bad... And the smell of raw fuel while driving is strong! That's how bad...

    Insulating your "junk"...

    In this thread, we were talking about R290 and R600A for our Air Conditioning systems on our trucks and the subject of insulating the 'Heater/Evaporator Box' (referred to here, as "junk") came up. A few of the members have insulated their junk with 'Frost King' rolls that are R-3 rated. So I...

    For all of the alignment experts out there...

    Ok basically, I'm just about ready to do a complete rebuild of the suspension, including ball joints, steering components as well as the bushings, bearing and races, brakes and flush, you know, overhaul the bottom end without going into the gear cases. That is for a later time... I don't like...

    Spindle needle bearings for axle...

    I've been trying to find a two or three jaw blind hole bearing puller for my slide hammer with 5/8" X 18 tip. I haven't had any success locating one that opens wide enough for my needle bearings that are in the back of the spindles for the Dana 60. :frustrate The largest one I've found opens...

    How high did you lift your Crew Cab?

    Hey all! I'm getting around to doing a complete overhaul of the suspension system, complete with new brakes, bushings, u-bolts and ball joints. Then it dawned on me that this could be the perfect time to do a lift job. How high did you raise yours and what did you do to raise your truck...

    Ruined day!!!

    Well, I got everything I could think of, from drill bits, torch, 18 pcs of 12/12/1.5 inch wood pads for two bottle jacks, two 18" jack stands, poly bushings, ball joint press, sawzall blades and coveralls... I had planned to change out the front end bushings for my '92 4x4 f350 crew cab... So...

    Has anyone used a ball joint press to...

    press out the bushings in the spring eyes? I've read about dropping the axle and torching out the centers of the spring bushings and then taking a chisel or flat screwdriver and bending out the sheet metal cage away from the walls of the spring eye. I also read about taking the spring and...

    Dowel pin...

    Does anyone know what position the IP dowel pin is at on TDC of the compression stroke for the #1 cylinder? I'm going to change out my unknown brand glowplugs and want the piston as high as possible... This way I can follow the firing order as I change out the plugs... It's easier to vacuum...

    I think I fubared my ip...

    I think I fubared my ip... FIXED! Ok, here is the short story... Nearly two months ago, I bought a used '90 7.3 IDI engine from a van and it has taken me all of this time to convert the engine to a F series engine and actually install it. Before I took it to the garage, I took it to a car...

    How do you fix a fuel return line...

    that goes from the back return tee fitting to the tank selector? I crushed the line between the tranny and the cab where it has "lips" or body seams and it is cut... My question is, how do you remove the (it looks as if it was heat shrinked to the metal line) plastic? I'm thinking of using...

    Rings, seals and vaseline...

    When I was rotating the engine to remove the tc nuts, I got three off before the engine seized up... So I had to pull the engine off with the tc still on... Fearing the possibility that I may have nicked the teflon seal on the input shaft of the e4od, I got a new one. My question is, when...

    B99 Biodiesel...

    Can we use B99 Biodiesel without any alterations to our trucks? I know that this is probably been answered a thousand times, but I tried the search function and couldn't get any satisfactory answers... I found a source of this stuff in Daytona for 2.45 per gallon at this present time and if I...

    Reattaching the fuel selector switch back in place...

    I've got the OBS style dash and I thought I had the switch glued in good, but last summer in the heat, the epoxy broke free from the black instrument panel...-cuss So, does anyone know what type of plastic the black plastic is? I wonder if PVC cement would work? I know that if this happened...

    Cleaning the oil cooler...

    I know that washing the tube in mineral spirits or degreaser will get the tube clean, but will the residue soak into the coating made by the SCA's, on the walls of the coolant tubes ??? :confused: How should I clean the tube and not contaminate my cavitation prevention system??? I'm planing...

    A stupid question...

    On my new (to me) engine that I haven't swapped yet, I found a block drain on each side and they look like square threaded plugs... Will I have any problems if I take them off for a through flushing with water? I mean do I use Teflon tape, thread sealant or torque them back in plain? I have...

    Will a 7.3 idi out of 1990 ford van...

    I'm going to look at this motor tomorrow evening but I'm not sure if the fan belt system can be changed over to the serpentine belt system and I'm not sure if the van motors are even the slightest bit different than the F-series motors. What I need to know is will this motor swap over to my...

    What is this clattering sound?

    Help! I need to identify the source of this clattering coming from my engine, it started making this noise and sounds really bad. Also, it started smoking fairly constant, too. I can't tell if it's injector knock, collapsed lifter, bent push rod or (hopefully not) a connecting rod. When this...
