    NEW TURBO BAD

    I have had a lot of bad EBP sensors causing all sorts of low power problems along with turbo codes stored in the PCM. I even tried the new upgraded 6.0 EBP sensor on my Excursion with a 7.3 and the power difference is a whole lot better, it's like night and day difference. I haven't had to...

    Tranny skips over Reverse.

    You may have a problem with the torque converter draining back down to the pan when sitting. There could be other things but I have seen this more than once. At this time I can't remember what I did to fix the truck, maybe it will come to me later. FMT

    O/D switch took a sh*^

    I have found the wires break up higher than where the steering column pivots. I think they break from moving the shifter through the gears. On the turn signal problem the wires pull out of the connector for the multi function switch due to the tilt column and a new hard shell connector is...

    I have just ordered the Tags 1&2 is anyone have any input on what these things will do especially for towing? I have heard good things about them for the lower to mid range power and fuel mileage improvements. :thanks FMT

    6.0 Head Gaskets

    It takes me a little over a hour to get a cab in the air depending on how much extra stuff is on the vehicle and how it was installed. On a regular cab there is 4 bolts inside the cab and 2 more out side by the radiator support. This article explains it pretty good but I have come up with some...

    6.0 Head Gaskets

    I am in the middle of a 6.0 engine replacement,17000 miles, due to a worn out camshaft and removing the cab is the only way to do this job with out killing your self. The swap can be done in less than a day this way if there is not too much aftermarket accessories on the truck. The other diesel...

    Trailer brake controller change (just a comment)

    I have had the Prodigy now for a couple of years and it is by far the best brake controller I have used for the money. I like the Brake smart and if the Prodigy gives out I may go with that unit but it is pricey. FMT

    Anyone using the 7.3 coolant filter kit from Bob Riley...

    I have Bob's coolant filter on my X but installed it in a different place than his instructions stated. I put it behind the LF wheel mounted on the inside of the rocker panel and installed some ball valves from the hardware store to make changing the filter easier with out loosing too much...

    A quick dumb tymar type filter question.

    You can just tie it off and it will work just fine. It is water proof so don't worry about that. FMT

    Truck Died Again......

    I would think it would have set a code with the SES light coming on. That is the first thing I would do is to have it scanned for codes. Some times shutting these PSDs down and restarting them will reset things, other wise I am at a loss on this one. FMT

    Rancho RS9000X Shocks

    It really didn't ride that bad with the stock shocks but these new Rancho's are great. I still have to tow with them but I liked them on my older Ford Van when towing. FMT

    Rancho RS9000X Shocks

    I just got done installing the Rancho RS9000X shocks yesterday and I can't believe the difference in the way the X handles and rides. Any of you X owners what settings are you running when empty and then when towing, I am running the #4 setting at this time empty? I got them on the buy 3 get 4...

    Trailer brake wiring

    The inside of the drum where the lug studs are is where the magnet grabs the drum when power is applied to them. The magnet is mounted to a lever, kind of like the lever that was used for the drum style parking brakes years ago. The rotation of the wheel/drum pulls this lever/magnet and applies...

    Excursions, why buy anything else?

    I have always like the bigger type vehicles and when the Excursions came out I fell in love with them but knew it would be a long shot at ever owing one. One of the first Excursions the other dealer sold I worked for ended up being the one I bought. My vehicles have to do many things and this...

    Motorcraft oil filters?

    I think the Ford dealers complained to Ford about the pricing they gave to the department type stores. I could buy a Motorcraft oil filter cheaper at Walmart than I could get it at work. The dealers cost for the filters was more than what Walmart was selling them for. :dunno

    Exhaust band clamps

    These band type clamps are great. Just spray down the pipe and clamp with penetrating oil before installing them to help the clamp form to the pipes. FMT :sweet
