    Tranny gave out

    Also what is the deal with Ford not installing drain plugs. No drain plug in the tranny pan, and when I took of the cover to drain the Torque Converter there was no plug. I rotated it around a few times with the starter but no luck. I didn't have the stuff or the time to fully flush the system...

    Tranny gave out

    Well I finally finished it sorta, I had to go to a company dinner tonight for my wife so I had a stall. All went well and I replaced the filter and inline filter (by the way the filter was 24 and the inline was 34). I couldn't believe the inline was that much. I have a feeling I was ripped...

    Tranny gave out

    Hahaha yet another Dedede hopefully. When I crawled under my truck the day it was leaking oil was pouring out everywhere from all places. After all this research and getting ready to drop the tranny this morning I finally located the problem. Yes and it is all my fault not the factory...

    hypothetical question

    I must be the worst searcher in all history but I can find nothing that talks about what to do if we in our 94-97's run out of fuel. I read the 99+ a long time ago and was lucky enough to remember that and go help my buddy tonight who ran out but what about us. If I understand it we do not have...

    90 F350

    No, It is an Auto, I sent him an e-mail asking him questions. I fixed my WVO valves on my Mercedes tonight and tomorrow I'm going to tackle my tranny and take it out. I'm going to take it up North about an hour as soon as I get it out and trade a guy a Lawnmower I got for free for a motorcycle...

    90 F350

    There is a 90 F350 for sale for 600 OBO. Says Engine smokes but tranny is good as well as front end. People are often looking for the front ends as these have a solid axel correct? I doubt I could use the tranny off of it for my truck or as a spare but it sounds like there is a lot of good...

    swapping 7.3 turbo non powerstroke w/ powerstroke

    Why is it that you don't want the non powerstroke. My buddies dad replaced his 460 guzzler with one put a larger turbo on, played with the pump, added and intercooler and he is one very very happy camper. I'm not saying I don't like my engine...I am very very happy with it, but if I had two...

    Tranny gave out

    Thank you for the input. I will have to give those guys a call. I called a guy locally who rebuilds Trannies out of his garage for extra cash on the side. Said he could have it done in a week and would charge 300 flat rate. So I was pretty happy about that. Only problem is I have to yank the...

    Tranny gave out

    YIKEs. Good bye TC eh? :dunno No I don't ever plan on throwing a lot of power to it but as the years go on and the truck becomes more of a toy than an every day driver and work horse I'm sure I will. So I would like to build it a bit better than it was of course. That way I can throw on...

    Tranny gave out

    Well the tranny gave out on me today. No warning what so ever really. I drove to work no problem and then today when leaving work I felt it surge a bit when slowing down. (The truck has been sitting 14 days as I have been gone) Then I tried to get up to speed and seemed all fine. Then another...

    Aftermarket Bumper

    Perfect. Thank you guys. That is easier than I thought it would be. When the heat index drops below 100 one of these nights or in my garage below about 110 I will have to head out there and do that and I'll post some new pics. I'm sure it will look a lot better.

    Aftermarket Bumper

    Test Fit Ok I did a test fit the other night (finally cooled down enough for me to work late at night). I'm not going to lie. It looks like crap right now. It is functional but I've got some more work to do. I wouldn't exactly say it is a "hidden" winch within my bumper. I need to figure...

    water pump fan threads (which is it)??

    Must be that time of year eh? Where did you get your replacement pump? And yes I'm talking about the intake tube on the right side of the pump that is connected to the lower radiator hose. Also if anyone needs a core WP for some reason I have one. I'm thinking I did not have enough SCA in...

    water pump fan threads (which is it)??

    I hate to hyjack my own thread with WP issues but I had another question. the only difference in the WP I bought from Napa was that the gap between the impellers and the WP. On the one I took out it was about .003 and the gap with the new one was larger than any of my feeler gauges but somewhere...

    water pump fan threads (which is it)??

    See that is the weird thing. Mine was the exact opposite so I'm not sure if my thread helped out or not. Maybe that is why they posted it on the fan shroud itself. But I was wondering the same thing you think you would want it so it would tighten itself as it was turning so there was no way for...

    water pump fan threads (which is it)??

    Ok for all those out there that have read the instructions on how to change your Water Pump with the link on Diesel stop and have read through this forum and you are confused on which way to turn your fan clutch with that 1 7/8" wrench I thought I would help make it easier and I'll take some...

    My add-a-leafs suck

    I agree as well, I purchased my truck with them on already and on some small bumps I darn near nock my teeth out. I've considered taking them out but it looks to good :). In the future going to have to get something that gives a nice ride. I think 6" might be a bit to much do they make...

    Completely died while driving

    DEDEDE From the mind of Mencia "DE DE DE" So I get dropped off at the truck this morning and start it up and all is good. Go about 3 miles on base and stop at a light to turn onto the Highway. Some guys next to me honk their horn and tell me I'm leaking some thing, looks like coolant. I'm...

    Completely died while driving

    Yes for 25 bucks and an itty bitty 10mm it is worth it. It took me about 30 mins the first time deciding how I wanted to get in there and fiddling around with it and a socket with a 3" extension and a wobbly but I bet if it did it again on the side of the road I could fix it in 10-15. Ohh by the...

    Completely died while driving

    Great write up. Now we will see if I can smash that 3-4 hour time frame. I'm guessing it will take me aroun 8 :). I'm a very slow mech. Jason

    Completely died while driving

    I hope every time my truck breaks down in the future it is becuase of that Cam poistion sensor. It was really greasy and a bit tight up in there but I got it out and put the new one in (27 bucks). I wished on my lucky stars and cranked. It started right up. Another Great diagnosis from the...

    Completely died while driving

    Ok, So I will go back and check all the fuses while I'm at it. I was in a bit of a hurry today or I would have at lunch. Is there a link on how to test the fuel pressure. I think I may need to have it towed home before I start doing some of that. I do have a chip in their that...
