    Help Needed Heater control dial restriction

    The heat control dial moves freely from the very cold to warm settings but if I try to turn the dial to the hottest setting I feel a restriction in the dial. I think a pen may have fallen through a long duct by the windshield above the glove box causing a cable restriction. I removed the glove...

    Question Converting a Calif to Federal? (fuel damper delete)

    A friend who has a '97 F250 Super Cab California truck has a fuel leak by his banjo bolt. Unfortunately his fuel damper is in the way and there is no way to tighten the banjo bolt unless the turbo pedestal is removed. Then he saw my truck, a Federal which makes getting to the banjo bolt a whole...

    comment powerstrokeshop.com let me down

    Just want to share with you my most recent dealings with powerstrokeshop.com. This thread is by no means meant to bash them as they do offer great prices way below the local dealerships, but to let you know the poor customer service I just received. I placed an order last Friday over the phone...

    Question Do I need an AIC?

    My issue is that since I upgraded to a 200 amp alternator four years ago the charge needle falls way to the left every time I stop at a red light especially with my headlights and vegoil heaters on. Once I start moving it goes far to the right again. Never had a problem with it but it doesn't...

    Question Leaking oil cooler o-rings

    If my oil cooler o-rings are leaking where will I see it? What will it damage? I was told to change them since I'm well over 300K even though I don't think they're leaking. Is this wise preventative maintenance or fixing something that ain't broke? :dunno BTW, I don't even know where it's...

    comment El Niño is here

    El Niño is here. Looks like we're in for a solid week of much needed rain. They say there are three or four separate storms coming through one after another. Perhaps this will lessen the drought. :sly Get ready for small stream flooding and mud slides. It was the winter of '97-'98 when El Niño...

    Question Heat stress on both batteries

    Just got back from a long road trip through the Mojave desert where it was way over 100*F. Seems that my charging system was stressed because the charging needle never got as far to the right as it does where I live. I was so concerned that I would have a charging failure in the middle of...

    It never rains in California in May

    What an unusual and unseasonal downpour we're having. It never rains in California in May. Well that's what "they" say but obviously they're wrong. Not enough to make a difference with our drought but definitely enough to put a damper on the next few days.

    rant Turbo leaking oil

    There is a fresh oil stain on the EBPV rod coming from the pedestal as well as on two pedestal feet. The rod has been disconnected and wired open. Turbo spools just fine and boost maximum is 15 psi. I'm thinking of doing nothing more than spraying some brake cleaner to clean up the stain. Truck...
