    Help Needed 04 OEM radio

    My dad's radio was stolen from his truck while it was in a towing recovery yard. They won't cover it, he won't pursue it, whatever. It's an 04 and he said it had the 6-disc changer. I've heard that dealers need to "program" the HU, is this true? Also, what years will I be able to swap in and...

    Help Needed 92 F250 diesel hasn't been started in years...

    Bought the kit, I had to reuse one of the fittings because the kit came with an end fitting but mine makes a complete loop. Ah well, the good new is that after a couple cranks it fired right up without having to crack each line to bleed them. No more leaks! But then I took it down the road on...

    Help Needed 92 F250 diesel hasn't been started in years...

    No, I understand a mechanical pump, that's why I asked if there was a priming pump in-tank or on the framerail. Turned out I just needed to crank it a little more to bleed the air from before the filter, bleed the injectors and it fired right up. Now I have some leaking injectors so it looks...

    Help Needed 92 F250 diesel hasn't been started in years...

    Did 4-5 10 second starting bursts and never got any fuel pressure to the bleed valve on the fuel filter boss. It just turns over and over. Should I be hearing a priming pump when I turn the key on...because I'm not. Where do I go from here in the diagnosis stage? Fuel tank is half full...

    Crack each fuel line going to the injector and then crank it for a little while to flush bad fuel from each injector, or do I just crack it without cranking it?

    Help Needed 92 F250 diesel hasn't been started in years...

    I just tried posting this and it didn't work..let's try it again. I was just given a 91-93 F250 and it hasn't been started in three years. It was driven from Indiana to Florida hauling a loaded horse trailer and once it got to FL she just bought a smaller truck. The truck has been tried at...

    Mileage towing

    The tailgate up creates a deadspace inthe back of the truck (have you ever scraped off bugs from the inside of your tailgate?) and the air passes over the top of the truck and right over that deadspace to the top of the tailgate. With the tailgate open it actually creates a vacuum of sorts...

    Question Need new lockouts...

    I just bought the hubs and installed them...haven't gotten around to capping the vacuum lines. No ill effects, just takes a few seconds for the vacuum to suck the a/c gate from defrost to the vents.

    Whining new pump?

    Can the steering box be creating/have a blockage in the system? Do they go bad? If the truck isn't rolling I have no power steering...seems to me that I have nothing and I want to think that my brakes aren't what they used to be... Advance sells the reman box for $160 or $180 depending on...

    Rebuilding differential

    oh, I was saying no I haven't changed the fluid since I bought it...think changing fluid could solve this? Seems to me the clutches may have wore down and have lost their tension and the lube may be a bandaid.

    Whining new pump?

    If a flush doesn't help, does my steering box need service/replacement? Do they go bad? Thanks, Jesse

    Question about "stock tune" on TS performance chips

    Does the 6 position chip with the "stock tune" setting bypass the chip altogether and allows the computer to function the way it should or is it a tune built into the chip mirroring a stock tune allowing the chip to make the computer act the way it is supposed to? Long winded, I know, but I am...

    No, what is an effective way to bleed/flush the system?

    Whining new pump?

    Replaced my old pump because it was whining and the fluid was burnt and now the new one is whining as well after a couple hundred miles. I purged the system and flushed as much black fluid out as I could by unhooking the return from the hydroboost and pumping the brakes into a bottle. The...

    Leaf spring separating pads?

    I'm more worried about how the springs are eating into eachother..."self-clearancing";)

    Leaf spring separating pads?

    It has four flat pads and four half-moon shaped pads, presumably for the second leaf directly under the top leaf mounting bolt. Enough to do the front and half the back...of course. Going to look into aftermarket pads just to be sure. The half-moons don't have a centering post underneath...

    Leaf spring separating pads?

    Ford just says it's a kit for $43, I'll update today when I pick it up.

    Leaf spring separating pads?

    Yes, plus I just looked under the truck and noticed that they didn't exist any more:)
