    ac compressor shim

    Inspect the wires at the plug connection coming from the upper pressure line going to the compressor. Wiggle the wires and see if it cuts out. Mine was moaning and groaning and would cut out and stay out unless I wiggled the wire at the pressure switch. Replaced the connector plug and the...

    00' 7.3 still broken

    DP Tuner F5 and gauges installed!!!

    Good choice of gauges. How do you like the Full Sweep Trans. gauge? You will like the Optix Gauges at night. Easy on the eyes.

    2000 F-250 Power loss after appr. 30 minutes of highway travel

    No, either run tank low on fuel and drop the tank or remove the bed of the truck to access. There are some in tank mods. to do while you are in there or just clean or replace the the orifice. Check part availibility first before dropping tank. On my early 99 work truck ,the same symptoms...

    2000 F-250 Power loss after appr. 30 minutes of highway travel

    The fuel pickup tube that is located inside the fuel tank has an orifice with screens on it and the screens can be partially clogged and not getting the proper amount of fuel.
