    Interior light problem?

    The door ajar switch is not lit. Why would it shut off above 10 mph and turn back on when I slow below 10 mph? An internal override? Jesse

    Interior light problem?

    Sometimes, when I stop the truck, my interior light will come on and then turn off after I speed up to over 15 mph. It only seems to happen after I drive up my buddy's driveway, drop him off, then it doesn't shut off the whole way backing down the driveway, only when I go forward over 15 mph...

    Want to replace TC, anything else?

    Not knowing the condition of my torque convertor combined with the mileage of the truck makes me want to replace my convertor. Plus I tow a race car and sometimes get the truck confused with the racecar, so it see's double duty on certain occasions. I have had a case of the shudders on slight...

    Loss in fuel mileage?

    I've noticed a drop in fuel mileage in the cold, does anyone else experience this? I also put on 4" exhaust and shimmed the FPR....nice drop in mpg there. Thought I'd share, Jesse

    regular maintenance for 7.3 reg cab diesel ?

    I bought mine at 172k, it now has 196k. Just recently I had to replace balljoints and while I was in did axle seal, hub o-ring, and vacuum seal (for ESOF truck). I change the oil every 5k, but have never checked the SCA...maybe I should. Welcome to the site. Jesse

    wheels and tires pic

    What size block do you have in the rear of you truck? I love the look of the leveling kit, what brand and how much did it cost? I'm searching for one for mine...I still have stock shocks and saggy springs...Sharp looking truck! Thanks in advance, Jesse

    Ball bearing for FPR shim?

    I ended up using #2 washers instead of the #4. They were much smaller and required less grinding. My fp is now 74, is that ok? I put about 50 miles on it and no leaks. Thanks, Jesse

    Ball bearing for FPR shim?

    Can't find washers small enough to fit in the FPR and I don't have the dexterity to grind down something that small, so I was wondering if anyone has used a ball bearing, maybe 3/16"ish, under the spring to shim it up? Seems much easier, but not as adjustable if the pressure isn't desirable...

    CPS Failure? or not?

    Well, let me dig this one up...my buddy is having the same trouble and he can't figure it out...same hot start problem. Any end to this story? Jesse

    Stacking with SCT tuner?

    I have guages. So you say a chip and a Juice combined would be better than the SCMT alone? How much do you think I could gain? Jesse

    Stacking with SCT tuner?

    I currently have the mods in my with a soon addition of 4" turbo back and shimmed FPR (soon as I can find a pressure tester...), but am looking at the possibility of stacking something else with the Superchips tuner. What/is there anything that would be beneficial to add to what I have? Thanks...

    FPR shim problem, gauge adapter?

    I tried two different kits and none had the adapter for the fuel pressure test port on the high side of the filter housing as used in the Wiki. The kits said don't use diesel so I assumed that's why they didn't include the diesel adapter. Is there someplace/someone that will sell/let me borrow...

    Hub assembly prices?

    Will the caliper/bracket interchange? So the ID of the 99 rotor is 1/8" smaller than the 99.5? Tbar's hub looks exactly like mine... Jesse

    Hub assembly prices?

    Nice write up. I've already had it apart to replace the vacuum seal inside it, now I need to get rid of the scrubbing/grinding noise up there. I hope that the cheaper hub will work... Jesse

    Hub assembly prices?

    Just priced a hub assembly for my early 99 from NAPA and he quotes 570...Will the late 99 hub work? That hub is only 370. Anyone know of a cheap dealer? Jesse

    Replaced ball joints, still have problem...

    I have 3 14 hour trips ahead of me and no money for replacement, could I just put some grease in the ABS sensor hole and cross my fingers? Jesse

    Replaced ball joints, still have problem...

    So I replaced the vacuum/oil seal and still have the intermittent grinding. I was under the impression that the hub was a sealed unit, but when I disassembled, I found some grease behind the hub...could the hub finally be going? I hope not, the cheapest I have found are 400 bucks. The hub...

    Replaced ball joints, still have problem...

    I also thought to replace the shocks, but I don't want to until I fix the problem, the good shocks will make it harder to pinpoint. As for the springs, is it normal for a diesel to sag after 192k miles? The build date is Sep 98, so could it be possible they put F-150 front springs not made for...

    Replaced ball joints, still have problem...

    I'll check that. They aren't that wore out, to the point that the truck bounces, but it does sag to the left. And the intermittent grating noise that I can feel in my floor pans?

    Another 10K mod ??

    Is this a pointless mod if I already have a tuner? Jesse
