    Rancho Shocks/Steering Stabilizer

    I have Rancho shocks and steering stabilizer and when I first put them on I could really tell the difference. Now after 95,000 later maybe they are not working the same or I am just getting used to more bumps in the road, but the handling is still fine, could be the new ball joints too. The...

    CFM plus for the 7.3l

    Thanks, that was kind of what I was thinking. It's pretty and all but it does the same thing of the OEM one. If I spent THOUSANDS on my truck for show then I might do it, but other wise I think I will pass for my 7.3l and spend my money more wisely.

    CFM plus for the 7.3l

    What is any ones thought on the new CFM plus intake for the 7.3l? Is it just a pretty dressed up "toy" that serves little purpose, or is it a plus on the 7.3l's system? Price wise what does any one think about it? Just wanting comments, please be nice. Thanks Chris

    Crankcase Breather

    jg, Try HERE and do a part search (with the part numbers you have) to see if they are cheaper than the Stealerhip where you are. I know for a fact that they were 1/2 of what the Ford place in Knoxville was when I ordered parts.

    Upper and lower ball joints

    Glad to hear about that. I will make the comment to my cousin when and IF he ever gets around to working on it. He's had it for about 3 weeks now and hasn't done anything to it but drive it around. I thinks he likes it and doesn't want to get it fixed. :watchout

    No throttle peddle response

    Or you can check out the part here. Should be same thing just a little cheaper. Just search for the same thing. Sorry about that Dave, I'm probably the cheapest SOB around and would find it cheaper by the Penny I would go for it.

    Help Needed 02 7.3L Cold start up problems

    I don't think that the trucks do but my uncle's 02 Excursion give a SES and when I checked it, it gave codes for glow plugs 1 and 3 as being bad.

    Upper and lower ball joints

    I had read that on some other post. One said that he had 45 degree fittings on his 4x4 but recommended to use 90's. I don't know? Maybe if I get the ones without the upper fittings they will last another 220k. Right now I have 79k on a set of Michelin tires and the wear is great, just...

    Upper and lower ball joints

    My 00 350 is getting an overhaul, the engine is smoking and using oil at the rate of 1 quart per 200 miles. While it is in the shop I'm gonna have the ball joints replaced they have 221,500 on them and it kinda walks around driving. The big question I have is, what is a GREAT QUALITY upper and...

    Anyone ever hear of this GPR problem?

    Yep Ron, Mouser is where I ordered mine. I got an e-mail just a while ago saying that it shipped today. I can't wait. Mine is DOA now so it will be put on as soon as it gets here.

    Anyone ever hear of this GPR problem?

    I just ordered one of these today for mine, 586-902 I am tired of having to get a new relay every 6 months to a year. I am hoping this one takes care of the problems and can handle things. It seems heavy duty and have read other sites where people have used it, they say it is a tight fit...

    '08 center console in a 00 and up SD

    I got a 08 console mounted in my 00. I took out the seats and the middle jump seat. The back 2 bolts for the middle jump seat just goes back into the holes. When you mount your center console it will mount up EXACTLY to the bolt holes on your seats. No cutting or anything. It is a nice...

    Will GPR 109 work?

    I have only READ about these relays from other people on other forums it is: 586-902 I have heard that this is heavy duty enough to last 3-4 times longer than OEM and NAPA's realy. If anyone else can pick up on this they might tell you more. The next time I need a relay, who knows how soon...

    Confused and Using Oil

    Thanks stroker, I will give it until after my first oil change, he wants me to bring it in at about 4000 and do an oil analysis on what comes out and cut the filter open and see what is there also. Guess I will just add until some time after that and go from there. Thanks alot for the info...

    Confused and Using Oil

    There is no leaks at all on the ground after being parked for 2 straight days, (I can't stand a vehicle that leaks on my nice concrete) as far as the break in oil? I wasn't told of any. It is my Cousin that did the rebuild and he has been building and driving Diesels for about 40 years now, I...

    Confused and Using Oil

    I have a '00 7.3L that is giving me fits :CRAZY, I am using oil like there is no tomorrow. It has slowed down to about a quart every 200 miles now. What has been done is everything (rebuilt complete engine, new pistons, rings, valves, head job, 2 NEW turbo's :turbo, seals, even checked and was...

    Blue smoke on start up

    has anyone seen valves this bad off of a PSD. Reckon it is caused by the ulsd? Mine starting burning oil at a rate of 1 qt every 150-175 miles driven. Replaced the turbo because the intake was full of oil and the seal was shot between the turbo itself (blow by?) After that done it...

    rant Dammy this POS!!

    Did you get the heater from International? It is a BIG honken' piece of metal for the fuel bowl heater and only about 26.00 bucks......alot cheaper (about 100.00 buckscheaper) in cost than a thin piece of wire from FMC.

    Help Needed Blown #30 fuse?

    I think that on the back of the fuel bowl is a wire that just uses a spade bit to attache to it. Worse comes to worse drain your fuel bowl, pull your fuel filter, may be a good idea to change it if it's been a while. Look in the bottom of the fuel bowl there is a small piece of wire on the...

    2001 7.3 smoking blue, the whole time its running

    I just got my engine rebuilt and you should have seen the valves, I will try to get pictures of them in the next couple of days. The edges where the valve seats set against the valve was almost down to a KNIFE edge and some of them had chips off of the edge. Got the whole thing done, new...
