    Popping in front end??

    Had my truck aligned at the dealership. The rack at my shop is too small:rant Ever since there has been a popping noise under my feet in the left front.(mainly when turning and hitting a bump, like entering the driveway) Carried the truck back and Ford said this was "normal rotation of the tie...

    ac clutch is weak??

    Feeler guages (thin metal strips with graduated measurement). Same thing you would use to adjust valve clearance or check a warped head or block. Keep inserting a larger guage until there is slight drag. No lube required for this type of insertion.:sly

    Question 97 Hub issues??

    yeah my plan was to do bearings, seals, clean and grease everything well. I read so much about hub issues on this site on the later model SDs. Little gun shy I guess. Just wasnt sure if I could get those washers/ retainers seperately. What is your vote on changing to manual hubs?? I was...

    cps recall

    Had mine replaced last week. The new one is grey. From what I was told Ford will not just give you another because the have to send one back for warranty claim. My shop foremans CMP went out on his 99 350 and it wouldnt start. Replaced it w/ the grey and never had another problem.
