    make sure you put the right oil in your truck!

    That sounds like a sensor problem more than the wrong kind of oil problem. It doesn't matter what kind of oil you put in the engine it will still read a pressure if the pump is pumping. And I would think it would take a long time to realize the ill effects of the wrong kind of oil in an engine.

    Cruise control on 2000 Superduty Inop?

I am thinking it was the brake switch, I also made sure the switch is in the correct orentation it has to be perpendicular with the pushrod from the master not...

    Death Wobble

    steering stabilizers are not to stop wobble they will help it but stabilizers are to ease road feel and wander. They will help with death wobble but that would just be using them as a band aid and not fixing the real problem. Any old vehicles with worn parts are susceptible to death wobble...

    Question Dana 60 High pinion (reverse) or regular?

    1% is close enough you won't notice it, they come from the factory with that difference all the time. Yours is getting stuck in fwd for other reasons, It will only come out of 4wd when there is no tension on the transfer case. It will take that up in the slop of the gears and the transfer case.

    Question 4X4 Locking Hubs

    You are talking about drive slugs. Wheelers put them in swapped in Dana 60 axles to eliminate the weak hubs. Just look at some wheeling sites and you should be able to find them. Most front axles out there don't have locking hubs. Most jeeps have been like that for years. But expect your...

    line lock/ Duo lock

    my cable parking brake does not work at all in the forward motion just stops it from rolling backwards so it might be kinda tough to throw a chock in there

    line lock/ Duo lock

    got a couple of these I am going to see how hard it is to plumb the other one in the front. Didn't go with the electric cause if it looses battery the brakes will release. There are guys on the jeep forums that have had these on for days and they don't loose pressure. Very simple design. I...

    line lock/ Duo lock

    On some of our older Digger trucks with hydraulic brakes we have a thing on them called Duo Locks, AKA: Line locks. You pull the knob and push down on the brake petal and it holds the hydraulic pressure in the brake lines, holding the brakes on. These trucks are up to 30 years old and no...

    Death Wobble

    Is it death wobble or just shake. On my jeep I would get death wobble so bad I would have to slow down to about 15mph for it to stop it would make the vehicle uncontrollable. If you do death wobble tires a couple times it will burn into the tires and it will be near impossible to get them to...

    superduty inframe?

    I would say it would help the engine is like 800lbs but it is deep in the engine bay so you would possibly need the reach and the capacity.

    superduty inframe?

    nope gotta pull the motor, There is a tight rivited in crossmember just under the pan, and the last 2 or so cylinders are under the cowl under the hood. But I hear it is not to bad to pull the motor.

    Turbo Growl when pulling heavy loads

    my 7.3 kinda does the same thing with my Bully Dog on tow mode on the hills. When I have the cruse set pulling the jeep on the trailer and hit a hill when the boost get up near 10psi it starts to chatter. I believe it is the waste gate chattering. Because it makes the same noise when letting...
