    Odd hum from front end

    Hey all, I have a 95 f350 4x4 7.3 manual. I have a weird hum sound coming from the front end. Weird part, it quiets when I slight turn the wheel to the right.

    Hi all, I recently began working on my dad’s old 7.3 IDI in mid November since my LB7 Duramax has faulty injectors (again). It’s been sitting since 2008 so I’ve done a decent amount of maintenance on it so far. I’ve replaced batteries, return lines, injector orings, oil, transmission fluid...

    Wire routing for EGT sender.

    Need to run some wires through the firewall, for EGT and oil pressure gauges. There is no boot around the steering column, and the small grommeted hole behind the clutch pedal is already filled with who knows what. I don't have a radio, so I was thinking of putting the wires through the...

    E40d to ZF5 conversion parking brake?

    So, I might be totally out to lunch on this, but it’s my understanding that my ‘94 f350 (7.3 IDI) with an e40d has the parking brake attached to the transmission. So, since I’m looking to swap to a ZF5 how would I go about installing a new parking brake? I’ve never had a parking brake that...
