    My 99 7.3 will not turn over, what am I missing?

    I picked up a 99 F350 that had been parked for years. I repaired, cleaned and replaced the entire fuel system. Not to mention all the other stuff like a new starter and batteries. After all that I drove the truck 30 miles home with no issues. Then it sat in front of my shop for a few months...

    Stuck Sterling axle shaft.

    I have torn into many Sterling 10.25 rear ends. But I have never had one fight me like this. I beat the ever loving snot out of it and it would not budge. I even damaged the hub and flange. The bad thing is I had both shafts out a few weeks ago when I did the brakes. I finally ran out of time...

    Need some input on pump options for my Used Engine Oil.

    I have been looking at pneumatic diaphragm pumps for moving my dirty oil. I have found some on eBay that are pretty affordable. I am wondering is a $250 pump is going to work. That being said, I was looking at an electric sewage pump the other day at Harbor Freight. Plugging the pump into an...

    Since I am sitting on the side of the road waiting for a tow truck right now, I figured I would get some help diagnosing the problem. I have a 1988 F250 with a non-turbo IDI 7.3.

    Gas VS diesel front 4x4 leaf springs

    Is there a difference between the front leaf springs on a 99 and up Super Duty? And is there a difference between the 99 and up F 350 and 250 front spring packs? I need a set for a 99 F350 but they are under a gas engine and I do not know if it is a 2 or 350.

    My first IDI, need some exhaust input.

    I am building my first IDI. It is a 94 with an OE turbo. I am not trying to build a sled puller out of it, just give it that little extra.

    Picked up a Turbo IDI with a five speed

    We needed something to drag our trailer until I get my dually put back together. Stumbled across this 350 almost by accident and got a screaming deal. Yes, it needs some work. Nothing real serious though. The body is pretty good with only one real dent to contend with. Just some lipstick and...

    Building an E4OD for towing, need input.

    We have a 96 F250 with a 351 and E4OD that I have been demanding a lot from lately. The transmission had a stock rebuild about 10 years ago and I believe it is giving me signs that it might have to be done again. The last time I was inside an E4OD it was behind my PowerStroke. I ended up turning...

    This truck belonged to a good friend of mine that passed away recently. I bought the old Chevy both to help his family and to save it.
