Hi guys
I'm working on the last few details on my 1990 F250 xlt Lariat 4x4 diesel 7.3
OK I'm replacing the steering gear box and pitman arm
I got this box from this site
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...m=&sspagename=ADME:L:OC:US:1123#ht_8368wt_962
and an FEQ pitman are part number E7TZ-3590B which says it fits all makes and models F250 made in 1990
question is when I install these items and go to hook up the linkage things don't fit unless I readjust the tie rod ends by a mile. I was really careful to not bump the wheels while things were disconnected thinking that if I did everything just right I should end up with about the same alignment I had to begin with, which was pretty bad but thats beside the point.
can anyone look up these parts and tell me if they are compatible even if they are for that year truck ? If not and you are aware of what pitman arm might be compatible ( this one doesn't seem to slip very far onto the spline ) then please send order information my way, I'd be super grateful as I'm striking out finding one specifically for this truck. Although I have yet to contact the Ford Stealer ( just seems wrong to buy ford parts )
It would be most appreciated

Also is there a 24 volt take off anywhere on this electrical system ?

Where do can I order a new snap connector for my alternator, its the two prong one going into the stator. There is also a single ground nut connector but that ones fine, I just need the female two prong coming out of the stator housing
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Interior stuff
anyone know of a good place to order some new seats and stuff, I've in for a penny might as well do it up and be in for a pound.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
suspension
my front suspension is about a quarter inch off the rubber block stops, can't be right
how much travel should that front leaf have before it gets onto that block ?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Thanks guys
Dan
