    Power steering problem

    I got it off! Took it to a friends shop. His puller was a little more beefy. And with air tools, it came right off. I can finally turn to the right! Takes a little getting used to after 6 months like that. I keep almost running off the road around a curve cause I turn so hard. LOL Thanks...

    Power steering problem

    Well, I finally saved up enuff money to do the gear box. And it finally went out the rest of the way. Has worked to the left since this thread was started. Until today. So I got the gear box and rented the pitman arm puller. The pitman arm will not budge. I broke the end off the puller...

    How about a billboard? This one is on south bound I-75 just before mile marker 299. (Well, it used to be, I haven't paid attention in a while). I will driving that way today to see my family for Thanksgiving. I'll try and pay attention! LOL

    Tranny Rebuild

    Thanks! The mods I was thinking of, but have been for the last year so it probably wont happen any time soon, is the down pipe and air intake. I was also thinking of maybe getting a chip, but that would be more for the high idle and economy towing. I would be looking more to improve fuel...

    Tranny Rebuild

    What SHOULD have been done for it to hold up to mods? And how much would that have costed me? He said he put a shift kit and the sonnax valves and tricumulator springs. And a better torque convertor. I don't know much about trannys OR diesels! (Or any engine for that matter, LOL) But, it's...

    Tranny Rebuild

    Well, I just got my truck out of the shop. Aamco. Cost me just under $2300 with tax. Changed torque convertor, new solenoid kit, and all the upgrades for the tranny. They will service the tranny every 20,000 miles for free. Just wondering if I got screwed or got a good deal?? Thanks...

    warm up time...

    My truck has no block heater. It has the hole (plugged) where it would go, but no heater. I let my truck warm up until the GPR kicks off. It only gets down to about 30 here at the coldest tho. And those days are few and far between!

    tranny problem

    When my OD light was flashing, it was my torque convertor. I took it to Aamco and they read the codes. I replaced it myself about 5-6 months ago and now my tranny is making a gawd-awful noise like something broke off inside the tranny. It is now in the shop being rebuilt completely. (I think...

    Power steering problem

    No, it drives pretty strait. Sometimes it seems to pull slightly to the right. But, again, While I am moving I can turn either way. A little harder to the right, but barely noticable. How hard is it to change the box? Thanks for the explanation of the gear box. That makes it make more...

    Power steering problem

    OK, So the box is about $150? How do I change that? Why is it only to the right that it is hard to turn? It just doesn't make sense to me??? Thanks again for the help!

    Well that wasn't the problem. :( I just spent my Sunday replacing it instead of watching football and it is still exactly the same. Any more ideas of what it could be? Again, Thanks for the help!

    Power steering problem

    I have a 97 F250, HD, 7.3. The power steering doesn't seem to work well at low idle. Only to the right. I can turn left no problem. If I am sitting still, I can turn to the left with ease, to the right, no power. If I am moving faster than about 20 mph, it works both ways fine, usually...

    Overdrive light flashing

    OK.... I've changed a tranny in an Isuzu pick up. A LOT smaller, but I should be able to handle it. Is there anything specific I should know? I wont be able to do it until next weekend. How hard are the sonnax valve & tricumulator springs? Where is a good place to get all this stuff?

    Overdrive light flashing

    OK... I just got off the phone with the stealership. They said they would do the torque converter for $405 for the labor. I can get the 2001 F-350 TQ converter for 299.18, also from the stealership. The one for my truck is 478.80. What are the chances that this is all that this is going to...

    Overdrive light flashing

    Well, when I started the truck for work this morning, the light was still flashing, still shifting hard. 10-15 miles down the road, I notice it was shifting better. Couldn't really see the light as I was heading due east. Once I got to a stop light, I cupped my hand over the end and it wasn't...
