    front fenders rusted out

    Has anyone replaced their front fenders with aftermarket (LMC truck, JC Whitney) and what are your opinions of the quality/fit of the aftermarket fenders? Is it better to try to find a used set that aren't rusted out? (assuming it is still possible) It would be nice to have a set made of...

    Fuel line seal?

    While I was reinstalling the top cover to the air box (aluminum cast for turbo) the elbow rubbed against the fuel line coming from the filter head to the inlet on the injection pump and I could hear the air sucking into the fitting at the filter head. Upon removing the line from the fitting I...

    motor has a miss?

    My fathers truck is a 95 powerstroke 170,000 miles and it has recently developed what sounds like the motor running on less than 8 cylinders. Obviously there is a lack of power that comes with this. It is not intermittant it is all the time whether idling or running down the road. It almost runs...

    Steering wheel leather

    My fathers steering wheel has a hole in the factory leather. Does anybody have any experience about how to replace this leather cover and where to get it? Does the ford stealership carry them? Mostly I am interested to know if anybody has replaced this and how difficult it is. Thanks!

    How to get rid of positive camber?

    My 6.9 (orange) truck has a wicked positive camber since the previous owner put in an extra front spring for a snow plow. I dont have the plow or a heavy bumper so the camber is way too much in the positive direction (sits like a baha truck). The problem is excessive wear of the out side edge of...

    Another "Extreme Truck Makeover" :)

    I know i should be taking some pictures but i havent yet. I am in the process of getting my truck ready (the '94 not the '86) for a new aluminum flat bed. The factory bed was rusting above the wheel wells in the typical places and and my desire to have a flatbed got the better of me. SO after...

    Good frame rust advise.....

    I am in the process of cleaning the frame and replacing spring hangers to accept a new flatbed. I was wondering if anybody here has any experience with those "rust converter" paints. The ones that you brush on and it turns the rust into a black hard coating? Any brands to stay away from or maybe...

    If two is good then four might be better!

    I decided to put some money in the ole girl and get her a new shiny aluminum bed. It is just now in the works nothing major has happened yet. I am rethinking the stacks due to the new bed. I am still planning on having stacks but i am rethinking how i want to do it. I am also thinking of putting...

    Turning up the pump....are we wrong??

    I had a friend tell me today that the screw behind the triangle shaped cover has to do with timing and not volume of fuel. He believes turning up the pump consists of turning the screw located in the input line of the pump. From what i gather from the pump manual the screw he is talking about...

    Interior door plastic

    I know the interior door panels are available for older trucks and not for the newer trucks. Both of the panels in my truck are cracked in the usual weak places where they crack. Has anybody had any luck fixing these? I have considered covering those spots of the panel with a thin stainless...

    The best new rustless beds?

    Is there anyone here that has an aluminum bed? What are the best brands and which are ones to stay away from. I have done some research on this subject myself but was wondering if i can get some input from the crowd here too since this would not be a cheap investment but I think it will be a...

    three starters?

    I was just at Autozone since my starter in the 94 went south again. This time it lasted a year and a half. It doesnt cost anything on Autozones lifetime warranty but it sure is a pain to swap them out every couple years. HERE IS THE QUESTION: Apparently there are 3 different starters that...

    Summit Racing TRUCK FEST 2007

    Anybody else thinking about going to this this weekend? It is in Tallmage, OH. I am thinking about going. I would be even more inclined to go if I knew some other "oilburners" were gonna be there too! http://www.summitracing.com/epage/ep/summit.asp?EPageID={3078BA05-1247-4C58-814B-27A56D04A328}

    AC compressor clutch replacement??

    Turned on the ac today and heard a funny noise. Got cold air for a second then warm air again and smelled the ac clutch. It is raining so i havent dug in yet just unplugged the wires so i have defrost. If the compressor still turns easily I would assume the compressor is ok and the clutch is bad...

    Loudest 6.9 in the world!

    Well there was a thread about true duals......dont get any more "dual" than this, not to mention any louder either! Before you all ask......yes it is too loud for even me, I am putting a round muffler on each side soon.

    What is the deal with.......

    the brake/abs light on my 94'? It seems like it comes on everytime we have hot weather, but my brakes always are working fine when it comes on. I seem to remember something about a sensor on the rear axle that goes bad? Any good explanations/suggestions?

    Stalling after revving up???

    My 94 is stalling after i rev it and let off the pedal..........I didnt notice this problem before i changed the fuel filter. I changed it tonight because diesel on the valve cover under the filter led me to believe that the seal for the water seperator drain valve was leaking. So i read the...

    Pulls to the left

    I just got new tires and afterward I noticed that the truck now pulls to the left. I did not notice this before the new tires. I am not blaming the tires just yet, though I haven't ruled them out either. I thought maybe someone would have had a similar problem (pulling to left) and could point...

    Brake "thingamajiggy" at rear axle????

    Ok....last night I was topping off the axle of my '86 with gear oil and a friend was drilling out the plugged axel breather when that was done we started admiring the "thingamajiggy" near the rear axle. It is a 4 or 5 inch long lever that is now unhooked but it looks like it use to tie into the...

    exhaust through hood?

    Well the Y pipe on the ole 69 finally fell apart. I am using this as a possible opportunity to modify the exhaust. I would like to run the exhaust through the hood with a short stack protruding about 5" or so above the surface of the hood. Has anyone done this before? Do I have to flip the...

    OH YEAH......one step closer to being a big rig!

    Well I got the compressor, tank, and lanyard valve in the truck this weekend, the horns were already there but i was using the little air pumps to run them before. The horns are Grovers that came off of a semi truck and with the new air system man do they sound good! Nothing beats pulling a...

    Best winter oil?

    Do any of you guys run a different weight(other than 15w-40) oil in the winter? I am going to change oil soon and would like to put something in that will help her turn over more easily. I dont have the diesel supplement owners manual so I dont know if they recommend a lighter weight oil for...

    Tried to replace downpipe!

    Alright, I got a new downpipe for my truck from a local diesel service shop. So not knowing what it is supposed to look like, I cut the old one out and removed it and of course the one that I bought is does not fit. :mad: It has a 90 degree bend at the flange that will not work on my truck! So...
