    Spring codes

    Found this on Fordtrucks.com. Still doesn't really answer any questions for me. Is the RPN***xx the spring code or is the YC or IC the spring code???? I see a lot of people asking about front leaf spring codes and what their actual capacity is so I went through my spring books and matched up...

    Spring codes

    I have a leaning issue that I think is caused by some weak front springs ('01 with 196000 on it). I got some front springs from a co-worker off of a 2000 with 80000 on it. My only issue before I swap the front drivers side just to see if it changes things is the codes on the springs. I can't...

    99 F250 exhaust removal

    What Do You Think?

    Sweet truck!! They look a little smallish to me.......but it's your truck. Maybe just a tire change on the same wheels would work.......

    Question Speedometer malfunction

    I had posted a questions a few years ago about my speedo malfunction. Both batteries died at the same time and after new ones were installed the speedo quit working. It will sit at about the 7 o'clock position and then spin BACKWARDS to about 80 mph when I'm going about 70 mph. My cruise still...

    Air bag use

    Great feedback guys. Thank you. I guess I'll order some Firestones. That and a sway bar and I should be good. And I'll upgrade right away to the brass fittings to preclude any leak issues hopefully. Thanks again!

    Air bag use

    Anyone here using an airbag system? If so, what brand and how do you like it and how much do you tow with it? Thanks for your time.

    Spring bushings

    A ox/acet torch works good or a fish fryer. Either way just melt the rubber out of the bushing and the rest should come out. Done this numerous times on Jeeps.

    Bad Vibes. '01 250

    I had asked in a different thread a while ago if anyone knows of an aftermarket carrier bearing by chance. I just replaced mine for the 2d time in 3 years and I think it was bad from the dealer. Anybody????

    Leaf spring codes

    Thank you Sir. I'll look today. Wish I didn't have to buy a whole spring pack just to get the factory flat overload spring that came out of the truck a few months ago. U bolts loosened up on one side.....unreal.....

    Rear bumper build

    Nice! I'm going to do a build hopefully this summer. Probably won't get into the bed or flares though. You have any pics of the mounts? Good work!

    Question Do '99-'04 CC Powerstrokes come with a solid or 2 pc drive line?

    Question Cell Phones - I-Phone or HTC Hero?

    I just ordered a Hero for my 16 yo. He said he researched and CNET said it was a decent phone. I don't know as I don't have time to research right now. I'm a Blackberry guy so I don't know about iphones. I hope it's ok. We have Sprint/Nextel also and I'm very happy with them.

    Question Cold weather, How do you start your 7.3?

    Down here in Lower Alabama it has been down in the low 30's in the AM's. If I know it is going to be below 35 I drive the truck (usually ride the Buell every opportunity) and I plug it in at about 11 and start it at 0530. Starts right up when the wait light goes off. I let it idle for about 3-5...

    Ruining clutches

    Well, no fuel leaks at all! Very happy about that. However, I need to figure out why my fuel pressure is up to 80 PSI on the under hood gauge. It was at 70 PSI on the money when I installed the FPR from DieselSite. I changed the fuel filter out last night while doing the valve replacement...

    Ruining clutches

    Well, that seems to have fixed the fuel leak issue. Valley is dry. No diesel smell in the cab. I drove about 150 miles this morning and there wasn't a drop on the bottom of the valve. Now that it is hot I will check my fuel pressure and see what the deal is with that. Thanks to everyone who...

    Ruining clutches

    I concur. I monitored the pressure and watched for leaks for a few weeks after I installed the FPR shim. 70 psi on the money. I will check it tomorrow throughout the days driving and see what it does. I can't see why it would jump up 10 psi all of a sudden.......
