    Is propane on a 7.3 a good thing?

    My son is trying to talk me into puting a propane system on my 99 F350. The truck is used mostly for towing our 30' 5th wheel. He has a 29 gal "vapor" tank so I think this limits me to a Powershot system. I get 18.5 MPG empty and 11-12 towing now. Any feedback will help :thanks Dave

    Oil leak at rear of head

    Working on my 99 F350 (11/98) found what looks like a leak at the fuel delivery line at the rear of the right head. Ford is asking $72 for the line and another $70 for the fitting (one way valve). Is it possible to replace just the O-Ring or should I just buy the line. Ford wont sell the O-Ring...

    HPX Oil Hose Go BOOM!

    Hot oil? Temperature of the oil may have caused the failure. I've seen Parker hoses fail (blowing the fitting off the hose) when the plastic inner melts down. Dave
