    What could cause intermittent boost lose?

    My neighbor has an 05 F250 6.0L auto and is on a trip with his 26' trailer. He called me with an intermittent boost lose when he has his foot in it going up a hill. When he doesn't have his foot in it, everything appears to be fine. It's not blowing black smoke either. He pulled to the...

    Shorted Wiring Harness

    Thanks guys. The local dealership told me the harness was obsolete. When I called back to get a part#, they said they could get one in 3 days. People, it's all about people. Thanks for the response, hopefully they come through.

    Drivers side front axle seal leaking,,, again, again, again.... Ideas???

    This should be pretty basic but it's got me scatching my head. I've replaced / had replaced this axle seal 3 times. It doesn't leak right away, usually I get about 5k miles, then it starts seeping again. I've used Ford brand seals the last 2 times and a NAPA seal the first. Mic' ed the axle...

    Hub question??

    I just got the Warn Premium hubs today. I'll put it up on stands this weekend and play with the OE's and see what's up.

    Hub question??

    The markings on the hub are not readable. Hence me looking in the manual. I'll get the Warn hubs coming, that should solve both problems. Just frustrated with the manual, I drove almost 300 miles with them in. Now I'll probably need to watch the axle seals for leaks.

    Hub question??

    This is embarassing, but when I turn my hubs from "lock" to "free", I turn them to the left (counter clockwise), but my ford owners manual says they should turn right (clockwise). I jacked it up to verify because one of the was sticking locked. Your thoughts? Oh, and I am looking at...

    02 Eng cooling sys questions

    Well, my radiator swap did the trick. I did another test run on the same route, though alittle cooler ambient temp but with very positive results. The fan clutch came in as it should and the coolant temp never got above 215, PROBLEM SOLVED!!! Yea Ha!! I obviously didn't do a good job of...

    02 Eng cooling sys questions

    Dave, I checked for fluid leaks and nothing so far except the loss from the coolant recovery tank I mentioned. Dpantazis, yes I do have a trans temp gauge and it seems to be registering an appropriate lower temp than the coolant even while towing. And yes I did replace the thermostat. The...

    02 Eng cooling sys questions

    Well, on the way out of Bishop, going up the Sherwin grade with Toybox in tow, we hit 250 and blew abouit 1 1/2 qts. of coolant out the radiator cap or in this case the coolant recovery tank. Didn't appear to do any other damage. Made it home (closely watching gauges). I hate these types of...

    02 Eng cooling sys questions

    My 02 7.3L seems to be doing a couple weird things. Over Memorial Day weekend, we made as trip up north on the 5 and when we came back south over the Grapevine my coolant temp gauge went up just a hair short of the red and the fan clutch didn't appear to kick in. I changed the fan clutch and...

    Help finding "X" springs for F350?

    I'm hoping someone can help me find "X" code front springs for my 02 F350. I've called the 2 nearest Ford dealers and spoken to 3 different parts people and they all tell me I must have the VIN for a truck with these X code springs for them to even look them up. If I owned a truck with these x...

    Leveling kit on f350

    Dave, one other question. Do you know if I need to change anything else other than the springs, like the trackbar? I saw acouple of leveling kits that include either an adjustable trackbar or some sort of bracket to reuse the origanal.

    Leveling kit on f350

    Thanks Dave. Sorry for the slow reply but, I'm the proud grandfather of a new grandson and was ushered off by GRANDMA to assist with the move home from the hospital. I'll talk to one of our local Ford dealer about the X code springs and see what they have to say. Do you know why Ford created...

    Leveling kit on f350

    My stock 02 F350 seems to have a lot of height difference between the front and back end. I spoke to a local spring shop and they told me it was normal. But I'd like to level it up abit. Since I have leafs on this year it's alittle expensive. But I'd really appreciate some input on what...

    Coolant Temp sender/gauge question

    Sorry for the misleading signature, bought the 02 F350 about a year ago and just didn't add it yet. Installed a new fan clutch and made a run to Lake Hemet. Still didn't get the fan clutch to engage but it was pretty cold out (for us) and the gauge didn't move above the 1/2 way point...

    Coolant Temp sender/gauge question

    Gauges are on my to do list. It occurred to me after my post that I didn't hear the fan clutch kick in, so I'm headed that direction first. Thanks!

    Coolant Temp sender/gauge question

    Coming home yesterday on I-5 south over the Grapevine, I was towing our Toy Hauler and midway up my Coolant gauge began to climb fast and leveled out just below the red "HOT" zone. It never made it all the way to the red, but was close. I was driving my '02 F350 7.3L and it is stock except...
