    99 7.3 tow ratings

    While not intentional you are opening up a potential can of worms with this question. There are many disagreements coming from what you can and can't legally tow and what you physically can and can't tow. Ford published GCVWR (Gross combined vehicle weight ratings) but they are not on the...

    Replacing injectors in a 96 F250

    I'll suggest Bean's Diesel for good remans. Though I would suspect that you have tired injectors but it's not going to solve the 30 min warm up smoking problem that would come from weaker compression which is generating less heat in the cylinders when it's cold. While the mechanic is in there...

    Noisey!

    That's good to hear, Keep an eye on the idler assembly the bearings tend to go bad in those and or the spring in the tensioner gets weak or breaks. I've had to replace the bearings in my tensioner already.

    TCI E4OD rebuild kit????????

    I would hazard my guess to say that you're getting some cheap frictions and of the wrong count for your truck. If you know which ones are then just replacing those will be your cheapest bet. Here is a link to some parts for a bit more but you have well recognized heavier duty components. or...

    Cruise control on 2000 Superduty Inop?

    the OBS trucks cruise stops working when the 3rd brake light blows out, a quick easy fix if that wiring quirk carried over to the SD trucks.

    bad injector?

    I've yet to hear an injector knock over the diesel knock of the engine. Would you be hearing the cackle that is fixed with a long lead injector? Easy inspection for you is a mechanics stethoscope and listen for differences as you move the tip along the valve cover.

    4th gear gone

    I'll say that when I did my transmission the truck is high enough that it is a good working height aside the fact that the trans on the jack doesn't fit under it so I just jacked it up to the sky to slide the trans on jack combo under the truck and brought it back down to actually do the bolting...

    What do I need to upgrade to a 6.0 tranny cooler?

    the shortest and easiest way is simply some hose barbs you'll need a small section of both hoses but it works well. like these from McMaster I can't say that getting the lines in from a SD would be easy and you're likely to have to modify them a bit to get them to fit just right not to mention...

    fuel system upgrade

    you go in and out either the front or back so that you can return the fuel without having the deadhead fuel system of the super duty trucks. You'll find vendors offering regulated return fuel upgrades for the SD trucks which is what I'm describing.

    Ball joints, grease zerks

    general rule of thumb is to grease them when you change the oil a shot or two in each one will keep them happy

    newbie needs help ASAP in CALI.

    where are you getting the evidence of odometer rollback? Did they advertize it with a clean title? If the evidence is reputable then report the odometer fraud to the state they will badge the title with odometer fraud eliminating the clear title the dealer claims to have.

    I already have a 5 hp 3ph motor that I can us for the converter but the real truth is I don't have room for the toys right now. or at least that's what I've convinced myself.

    Need transmission advice

    Mike you've got a very logical culprit for the problem and reasonably easy to replace. You can check for cooler restrictions by measuring the flow through the cooler stack by pulling the return line and measuring the output at idle. also when doing this you should not get fluid coming out of the...

    4r100 w/FTVB apart! help on pump mods???

    I hesitate to tell you to do exactly that because of my penny pinching side, however you can likely sell the accumulator body for the price of the tugger HD kit (~120). I have read many, many threads on the old TDS about incompatibilities with the FTVB and the rest of the tugger HD kits. My...

    Need transmission advice

    to the best of my knowledge there are no thermal sensitive (thermostat like) items in the bypass only a pressure sensitive spring. IE when pressure is too high it bypasses indicating a plugged cooler stack. This keeps the rubber lines from rupturing or disconnecting when the cooler is plugged or...

    4r100 w/FTVB apart! help on pump mods???

    Well what you can do all depends on your level of competency as to what is something you can do yourself. The pump mods are not difficult just a few carefully drilled holes and swapping out a few springs. The FTVB is simply the accumulator body it still leaves out alot of things that the...
