    Help Needed Warn Hubs

    What ever you can do to make it work is how "Jeepers" do it. I did a lot of that in my earlier days. It doesn't have to be pretty but it does have to work! :)

    Start but dies

    Get it scanned by a good mechanic - rule #1. This will tell you what the computer thinks is wrong and you can go from there. If you plan of buying a scanner get one that can read CAN or it won't see anything. It is OBDII including CAN.

    Ford F250 Super Duty

    There are several of us here who have had good luck with our 6.0 and several who have not done so well. There are good and bad about all trucks and manufacturers. I have had very good luck with my 6.0! :D

    Question '01 SD 7.3 for '96 7.3 CCSB

    Go look at the OBS and you will see more things that you need to spend money on. I have had trucks since I was just a little older than you and I know you want EVERYTHING now. Common sense says to spend the money up front and be done with it. IF you are looking for a project, then you can...

    Yes it does. It can be done without removing the cab, but it is a real pain in the ass.

    Question Paint

    Sand it with 220 sanding discs and a DA (Duel Action) Sander. Go over the entire hood and look for very small scratches and dimples. Fill them and shoot primer ion each stop. Sand again and shoot color. I am not a body man, but I learned from a great one. RIP Mark.

    02 7.3 Hard Start

    Good questions. When batteries are cold they loose some capacity and generally start slower than normal. What brand of batteries do you have?

    2004 6.0L PS bad idea?

    I have the same engine in my F-350 and I have 134,000 miles in it. It is stock and I have done all of the maintenance. I have had a few minor problems like a fuel injector needing to be replaced and the FICM (Fuel Injection Control Module) dyeing. The major problems with these engines are...

    Power Service is good stuff! Use it on every fill up if you wish. :thumbs

    Overheating

    Both oil and coolant are mixing... That is very strange, as oil is under a lot more pressure than coolant. You said that you filled with coolant and you were getting coolant out of the pan? May need to remove the heads and check for a cracked head or cylinder. I am out of ideas at this point.

    Overheating

    Oil cooler is leaking water to oil and the other way around.

    2000 7.3 TS chips problems

    Ford does not release much on the ECM flashes. Every time I have had an "improvement" installed by Ford, it hurts the power. If you are happy the way it is, do not let Ford reflash your ECM.

    02 7.3 Hard Start

    Check your glow plugs with an ohm meter. ground one cable and touch the other cable to each glow plug tip. you should see something like 1 - 10 ohms if they are good. ~ (infinity) means bad.

    2000 7.3 TS chips problems

    Go to the Chip manufacture and look for the specs and programs. See if they have a match for what you want. If not email them or call. Good luck! :)

    RIMS

    No they have to have a lot of off set. The first goes on "backwards" and the second wheel goes on normal. The two tires must not touch or they will wear a hole in one or the other. SO there is something like 3/8 inch between the tires for spacing. They must be dually wheels or they won't fit.
