    Help Needed Starter solenoid just clicks when cold, no start

    I will have to pull them after they are finished charging and take them to the parts store to be tested. I checked the dates on them and they are 08/08, not that it means one didn't take a crap. if they did they have a 3 year full exchange on them so that will be a cheap fix.

    I done all the work this am. took me 6 hours for everything, that includes hunting the tools down for the whole job as well as reusing the studs. They came out pretty darn easy if you ask me. I didn't have my vise mounted and my 10 year old helped me hold the unit bearing when I removed...

    Ford recall 1.8M trucks and SUV - 7.3L CPS!! **Main Discussion thread**

    correct me if I am wrong here? Why would you have to take it out of gear with a manual. Keeping it in gear would insure the engine is turnign the ps pump which means you have brakes and steering. you can down shift for more steering power as your speeds slow down.

    Talk about the 7.3L CPS Here!

    I was out in pheonix this weekend and yesterday, the truck bucked but kept running. It died a couple times, but mostly it would kick the engine off at highway speeds then fire right back up. I never had to put it in neutral to restart it but I am thinking this is because I have the 6 spd. I...

    Clutch and Driveshaft limits?

    I dunno if you have 1350 series or 1410 series drivelines. but the 1410's can handle alot of abuse and power. the stock clutch is marginal in holding ability. LUK is a nice clutch if your not getting crazy and is rated aroudn 275 hp I beleive unless it was changed. there is a company...

    Repair Price??

    10 or more years ago I would agree with the parts from the big parts chains, but now they are from countries which make them so cheap the quaility is not there like it used to be. I would rather buy a new part every 5-7 years then have to replace the lifetime part every 2 years.

    the difference a few PSI make

    I always check them before I hit the road. I had "D" rated but I am stepping up to the "E" rated as I need to replace them. front axle is "E". rear is still "D"

    Repair Price??

    I dunno what the tie rods are running but those bal joints, and new seals are definatly under $200 for everything to do both sides.

    U joint and yoke broke

    plus, axle shaft seals, gear oil, gonna have to remove the carrier to do it properly.... then when you look at the bearings your going to want to replace them any ways. ;)

    Reuse Hitch Bolts??

    as a fastener point of view, they technically should only be used once. once torqued they will stretch, re-using them can stretch them past thier yeild point and cause a failure. Now really what are new bolts going to run you? $10.00 at a fastener shop for the proper grade?

    axle's?

    only big difference in the 1025 and 1050 is the bearings and the pinion has longer splines I beelive on the 1050. you can swap parts back and forth and they will work in either housing.
