    zf6 drain plug size-installing temp sensor

    Cool, thanks Dave. If I remember right it has an o ring on it. I have a bunch of brass fittings and I can probably just put some teflon tape on one of them. Have searched and searched online for one from one of these diesel aftermarket suppliers to no avail. Have heard about the plugs for...

    No ground on rear axle?

    Yep, no ground whatsoever on my rear axle. Stuck that test light all over it. Ran one up from axle to frame. All is good now. Never would have thought though.

    No ground on rear axle?

    Got a good one for you. Early 99 Superduty. Installed a differential temp gauge in truck awhile back and it would only work now and then when the truck was driven in the rain. Got under it to check it out and I had no ground on the rear end! Now with all those parts tying it to the frame I...

    How do I accomplish this? Ports I know of are 1/8 I believe and mechanical oil temp is much larger than this. Somebody help me out that has done this? Thanks. Also, anyone know who sells the adapter plugs for the zf6 speed manual for trans temp sending unit? Cannot find them but I have read...

    truck turbo starting to surge at 205000 miles?

    TS six position chip, 4 inch turbo back exhaust, cold air intake, fuel pressure shim, wastegate actuator, idm mod. No trouble codes or anything present. I'll get it figured out eventually. Just seems odd for all of the sudden the turbo to start surging like it is. Still producing 28 lbs of...

    truck turbo starting to surge at 205000 miles?

    Yes, intercooler boots original and in good condition. No leaks there. HPOP also original. Fuel filter changed about 6000 miles ago. Also been up on maintenance on truck. Don't plan on ever buying a replacement truck. The turbo does sound different the last two times out. Will check the...

    truck turbo starting to surge at 205000 miles?

    Have an early 99 superduty and while towing the last two times I have noticed that the turbo sounds different. Still making the same boost levels, however, not smooth like it used to be. I believe I am hearing it surge. It almost hurts my ears when it does it. Truck used 90% for towing and...

    Horn decided to go off at 4 in the morning!!!!!

    This has happened to me and soon discovered water leak into the cab when it would rain. Check to see if you are getting any water inside the cab. Usually gets in the fuse box and all kinds of weird things happen.

    Help Needed water leaking on drivers side when it rains; shorting out electrical please help

    Drew, where exactly was the water entering on the outer a pillar? Want to make sure I check it out as well. Are there some sort of holes or passages behind the rubber door edge running down the pillar?

    Help Needed water leaking on drivers side when it rains; shorting out electrical please help

    Think I found it. My cab lights were full of condensation so I sealed them up. Also, there is a work order fix the ford has for this common problem on these trucks. The top of the cab has two thick caulk lines were the cab is seamed together. After reading the work order from Ford, I came...

    Help Needed water leaking on drivers side when it rains; shorting out electrical please help

    Got home today and pulled the front cowl right below the windshield off to see if there was some sort of drain clogged under it. Has a very large opening in the side where it flows the water out. It started raining and I spent at least 45min up under the dash to no avail. I also took the hose...

    Oil Change Experience............

    I was at one of these places visiting one of my friends that worked there and saw a boy start a new Duramax with no oil back in it. His buddy freaked out and told him to shut it down pretty quick. Needless to say, I've never taken my truck to this garage.

    It's an early 99 f250. Cranks strong, I don't think it's the battery cables. Wish it was though.

    dead on the side of 75

    Well, it happened. My truck left me on the side of I75 yesterday. It started cutting out, like someone turned the key off and on and worsened as I went along. Check engine light came on. Finally, that was it, and I pulled off to the side of the road. Checked to see if I was getting fuel to...

    steering stabilizer

    Never had the death wobble? Then you are not using your truck for what a truck is meant for. Drive rough roads or heck, go where they're are no roads and get up some speed, your going to get the death wobble. Especially when you throw a couple thousand pounds in your bed or behind you and get...
