Help Needed Another Vacuum Solenoid Question.
I have started experiencing the common problem of my ac only blowing thru the defroster outlets. I think I've found the culprit but I want to make sure I'm not over simplifying my solution/problem. My vacuum pump is operating and does shut off when it sees 15" of vac. I've ascertained that...- femurphy77

Question Busting springs
Old thread so this is for info only, just contacted the dealer for rear sprinjgs on my sd, $300/side. Buy new rear shackles also unless you want to fight the bottom bolt which is rusted into the metal sleeve inside the bushing in the shackle.- femurphy77

time to replace the rear leafs
Something fell out from underneath the truck the other day and when I got home I noticed that 2 leafs from the left rear spring pack were no longer in sight. SO! Any particular vendors to avoid in my quest to purchase a new set of rear springs for my truck? Thanks!:usa- femurphy77

Help Needed Vibration sound
I realize this is a necro thread but I started experiencing the exact same noise in my truck a couple of weeks ago and described it the exact same way as the O.P. I just wanted to follow up with what hinesenhoffer said about the needle bearing as this was the cause in my truck also. Since the...- femurphy77

Fuel economy question
I've only idled it long enough for it to hit high idle one time. My cold weather mpg is usally right around 15.5-15.6, my warm weather mpg usually runs up to about 16.7-8. Those are my combined numbers which are pretty evenly split city/highway although my city driving sees a LOT of stop and...- femurphy77

Fuel economy question
I knew they had different blends but am surprised it makes this big of a difference. I've never had a vehicle that was as sensitive to this before I guess. Thanks!- femurphy77

Fuel economy question
I've now noticed this issue for the past 3 years and have decided it isn't a fluke or bad memory on my part; in the fall when the outside air temps start to drop my fuel economy drops almost 1 mpg. In the spring when it starts to warm up again my fuel economy improves and I regain that lost...- femurphy77

Squeaky leaf springs
I've seen several different threads on different forums talking about squeaking front leaf springs and all the threads had one thing in common; what a pain in the obama it is to replace the isolator shims in the springs. I must have done something wrong because it only took me about 10...- femurphy77

Windshield leak/molding replacement
In tracking down a windshield leak I learned that this was an issue with many SDD trucks due to improper sealant application at the factory. In an abortive attempt to remove the rubber molding to reseal the windshield I also learned that you can't successfully remove the rubber molding without...- femurphy77

f250-Worst-Made Cars On The Road ?????
The funny thing about this article is the parameters they are judging with; ride quality, fuel economy, comfort, accident avoidance. IT'S A TRUCK FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!! It's not going to ride like a caddy, have the fuel economy of a honda or be as nimble as a ferrari. They are comparing...- femurphy77

Replace bed or repair?
I'm in the same boat, gonna buy a new replacement bed and have it repainted. I'm only having the exterior painted and when they are done I will have the inside rhino-lined. Your paint guys will cuss you if they have to tape off the whole bed to keep overspray off the fresh lining and with just...- femurphy77

Dash lights???
Old thread but did the dash lights this weekend, the main lights are 194's in a plastic base. Hold firmly to the base, pull the bulb, put a new one in. Now the indicator lights are another beast altogether, Ford only that I'm aware of.- femurphy77

Are our trucks under cruise control recall?
Took mine by the dealer last week, they didn't even check it. They just installed the new harness tie-wrapped it out from under the master cylinder, checked the CPS and sent me on my way. Total time was less than 15 minutes. I have a buddy whose F250 burn to the ground a few months ago so I...- femurphy77

Ball Joint replacement help.
O.k. after pulling my head out I figured it out, one pushes out, one pushes in. Didn't take long after I figured the right way to do it. The narrative I followed didn't make mention of the seals in the hub area near the U-joints, as such I didn't have the necessary parts on hand and of course...- femurphy77
