    Still White Smoke?

    if your coolant has oil spotting then you have 3 possible problems 1) head gaskets or 2) injector cups 3) oil cooler I asked about delayed harder starting because when the high pressure oil system has a leak and the oil gets out it is replaced with air and air will compress much more than oil...

    Question Diesel swap

    honestly it's a flip of a coin in my mind you're going to be doing some notable changes either way. Either way to "do it right" you will likely end up stripping both interiors and changing out the wiring harnesses with the gas V Diesel & the Auto V Stick differences this would be the easiest...

    Help Needed 2001 e-350 dually 7.3 lt how do I know which rear my rig has ?

    Guys, the TIKI WIKI only lists axle ratios for the different axles based on door code not the axle type your rear axle should be a Dana 80 unless it's been swapped out When looking for a rotor you should only need to know 1) Dually or SRW 2) location of parking brake (driveline or in the...

    Truck starts no gauges no gas pedal

    your last post tells me that it is related to the steering column there can be problems at the tilt wheel joint if you are one of those people who tilts the wheel up every time they get out of the car.

    97 Superduty Fuel Consumption

    According to GV the unit for your SD is 3295 + install + driveline They also on their home page indicated up to 2000hp and 25000 GCVW, you're knocking right at the higher end of the weight requirement with a 16k boat and a truck that is going to weigh in at least 8k. Your comment about...

    Help Needed Guess what? Replacing the CPS didn't help!

    exactly my point when the CPS fails the engine shuts off and is no longer idling or running at all. His description leads me to believe that the engine is running but no throttle response and the PCM is providing fuel to idle and no more.

    Help Needed Guess what? Replacing the CPS didn't help!

    Just so I'm not making expensive recommendations that aren't the real answer, just a few clarifications on what it's doing. 1)We do not have "emissions system" lights on US trucks so I'm hoping and guessing that this is roughly equivalent to our Check Engine light unless they were required to...

    97 Superduty Fuel Consumption

    gearvendors makes an auxiliary overdrive that'll require some modification of the driveshaft and set you back around 3k new. mathematically you'll likely never recoup the cost of the initial investment :( Here's a post I made a while back on the subject If memory serves me right you can get a...

    Location?

    As has already been mentioned the chips are not a problem, the intake wheel is fragile while the exhaust turbine is a much more rugged piece to handle the temperature and as a result is not easily damaged.

    Question Excessive Bounce

    I ordered energy suspension poly ones from summit racing, they were the cheapest on the whole lot. Autozone could order them for me but not the sway bar set or the track bar set. If you're replacing go ahead and replace everything. I got rid of about 1" of play in my steering wheel with just the...

    looking for info on 2wheel to 4x4 conversion

    If you're going for ease of swap then staying with leaf springs will help, ford didn't sue I-beams on the SD trucks they went to coils on a solid axle in '05 IIRC. presuming you find a manual shift transfer case to simplify things your shopping list would be something like this 4WD pitman arm...

    Question Excessive Bounce

    Sorry for the delayed reply; Check your bushings, you may not be able to feel the movement by hand nor see any obvious sign that they are bad without disassembling some. Here's what mine looked like. I only have 175K but 4 more years. Looking back I've been chasing this problem for the...

    replacement 4r100

    check out the transmission offerings from racerX automotive He sells transmissions assembled or as a DIY kit. In the end for a DIY you'll be in around 2k with converter, parts, tools etc. Given the size tire you're running and from the snapping of flexplates if the axles haven't been regeared...

    Motor mount

    Is the noise the same when you are standing on the brake and applying a snap of the throttle in forward and reverse? (essentially power braking in short bursts) crawl under the truck and look @ the transmission mount, make sure it's there and all is good to go the above throttle trick will...

    Question Excessive Bounce

    is the bounce vertical, or a side to side shaking? The track bar bushings wear rather quickly and will give you a violent shaking with a bit more side to side feel. I just finished replacing all of the spring bushings on my front end to get a bouncing, and overall "loose" front end feeling...

    Pulling in 4 x 4 with hub problem

    something was bound up enough that there was less resistance to spin the tire than the axle shaft is why now as to what was bound that's another story. Are you running manual hubs or automatic hubs?

    Help Needed Banks Exhaust Brake

    troll the for sale sections of this and any other forum you can find, keep an eye on ebay and your local craigslist. Sadly the reality is that you'll likely end up needing to call banks to get the controller. There are some pieces that they will sell individually and some of those are actually...

    cruise control

    It's electronic like Joe said, Another quirk to the OBS trucks and their Cruise control is that when the 3rd brake light burns out it is often reported that the cruise is fails.

    Various Super Duties On The Road

    most of the '11 I've seen are PSD's and for the most part I think that is true for SD trucks in general. I'd address the disparity of the '08-'10 trucks especially in the diesels due the the fact that it was known that the 6.0 was a problem child at the introduction and people expected the...

    Hitch help

    I'm guessing you have a hitch similar to this one on that one I am not aware of an adapter that is readily available most 5th wheel rails will have a goose adapter but not the other way. You can use a pinbox extension like this however this will change the pressures exerted on the pinbox...

    Exhaust leak at back of motor

    when searching you want up pipes not down pipes. the exhaust system on these trucks is relatively simple but there are a few pieces involved Here is a picture to give you a better idea of what you'll be dealing with you see the exhaust that comes out of the manifold it goes into the up...

    intermittent power loss, eating oil

    injector o-rings are quite often an asymptomatic problem, I know realize that mine were bad the day I bought the truck but didn't realize it until reading a few posts about injector o-rings and the link with the fuel filter. Patrick nailed the turbo aspect in that banks just changed the...

    Question At what age are you a old fart

    Try working on a college campus to make you feel old. When I see Birthdays on apps for radiation dosimeters in the late 80's and I think what was I doing then. Thinking they weren't alive when the challenger blew up and many have likely never heard of that disaster.
