    99 7.3 Won't start

    Earlier in December I took my truck to tow my snowmobile trailer a couple miles away to a friends field to play around. On my way I noticed the truck loosing power and I could barely do 50 mph with it floored. I limped it to my destination and it then died. I attempted to start it and it...

    dash vents not working

    Not sure I am following here, you went to unhook the line and the pump came apart? You mean you took it apart? Was there some crap inside? Bill

    dash vents not working

    Just noticed the exact same thing on my truck yesterday. I have manual hubs, so i know it isn't a leak on the 4wd. I guess start by testing the pump to see if it is pulling vacuum. Bill

    Trans line Mod???

    Anything over 180 and my tranny starts puking fluid. I added a tru-cool cooler and it works much better than stock, still pukes after back up the trailer and have no air flowing thru the cooler. Seems to like the highway best. Bill

    Anyone replace their Driveshaft center support?

    Is it just a rubber bushing per se, or is it actually a bearing? It really has to be pressed?!? It's on the front half of the shaft, so hopefully this won't be a big deal. I have a press at work if needed. Bill

    Anyone replace their Driveshaft center support?

    I think my driveshaft center support is toast. The shaft will move inside of it and it looks like the rubber is detached from the housing. I was just curious how it comes off. Since I have a 2 peice shaft, can I just slide the shaft apart and pull off the old bearing and slide on the new one...

    Driveline Vibration

    I was towing the camper this past week, and was noticed a vibration when not towing. The best way to describe it is it vibrates slghtly between the point where your not accelerating anymore but not decelerating. If you slightly lift off the gas pedal it will vibarate until it is full decel...

    00' 7.3 still broken

    A simple fuel pressure check could rule that out though, one would think that they would have done that, but who knows.

    00' 7.3 still broken

    Just idling?? Boy there sure are alot of chipped trucks here and no one is running out of oil idling and not moving :confused: A scan tool will let you know the High pressure oil pressure at idle, sounds like something isn't right there. Don't quote me, but I believe it should be around...

    A/C not blowing cold all the time.

    I thought a vendor was selling these things a while back, but I haven't been able to find it again. Can you go into detail over the ranger valve? Thanks Bill

    Now its making a TON of $#%$ White Smoke!

    Mine started smoking again really bad. I tried the fuel filter again, but it was really clean and changing it did nothing. I noticed that my CCV hose wasn't venting anymore (also routed back to rear axel). I cut the line right under the drivers side door, and it started venting again, and the...

    Now its making a TON of $#%$ White Smoke!

    My truck was making tons of smoke as well a few weeks ago, changed the fuel filter and it dissapeared. It would just billow on acceleration but was a little lighter just driving normal. Try that first!! No water in fuel light either, and no apparent loss in power (wasn't towing anything...

    Truck died...

    Well as luck would have it, I'm driving to work on the coldest day of the year, -15 out, -35 windchill, truck started and is running great. It all of a sudden dies while driving on the intertate. RPM's go to zero and I pull off. I tried to restart and no WTS light. I'm thinking I read about...

    White smoke when running?

    It isn't smoking anymore, egt's never changed, neither did the coolant temp. I will keep an eye on the tank though. I've had blown head gaskets on other vehicles, and the smell of antifreeze on the exhaust is unmistakable! Bill

    White smoke when running?

    First I want to say that I fixed the smoke with a fuel filter change, it was very dirty. But I was a little curious why it was smoking? I hadn't noticed any smoke until this morning, when I smelled something a little funny driving to work. I noticed the smoke on the intertate when someone got...

    Manual to Power mirrors

    I was just wondering if anyone has a link to some pics or instructions for doing a swap to power mirrors. I currently have the manual mirrors on my 99. I thought I had read a link some time ago about doing this conversion, and that it was posssible. I was probably going to pick up some power...

    99 F350 questions...

    Alot of your power issues are probably coming from having the stock 3.73 gears with large tires. After you get your gears right, add a DP tuners chip. The 80 econo program will really wake up the truck. I have a 99 as well, and was less than impressed with it's power and towing stock. I...

    More Fun with Glow Plugs

    I just bit the bullet and installed 8 new Motorcraft plugs this weekend. Took a good 5 hours to do the job. Some of those valve cover bolts were a little tricky, but it wasn't to bad, just alot of time. Bill

    F250 leaf blocks

    If you drop the rear of an F350 SRW with the F250 2" blocks do you need new shocks? Or can you utilize the same ones? Bill

    Dually Conversion

    Has anyone done a Dually conversion on their SRW trucks? I tow a pretty heavy 5'ver (12500 dry) and load 3 big ATV's in it plus gear. That is alot of weight on 2 rear tires. Trading in for a dually isn't an option, but I came across a company that makes conversion kits. You get 6 wheels...

    Getting hot?

    low 70's. I've had it happen with temps in the low 90's with the AC on too. Fan spins as long as I want to spin it. It has little resistance... some but not alot. Bill

    Getting hot?

    I just tried this, and I could spin the fan around at will, but the engine is warm. should this test be done with the engine cool? Maybe I found my problem? Bill
