    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    Water in Fuel light?

    I did a 14 page search and came up with nothing. After installing a TSperformance chip, the water in fuel light came on immediately (I had filled up at my normal station 5 miles earlier). I drove it around a bit and it didn't go off. I pulled the filter and found no water, I drained it anyway...

    No 4x4 light?

    I go out in the snow this morning, haven't been in 4x4 since last winter, try to engage and nothing happens. I hear a solenoid click under the dash but no 4x4 light in lo or hi plus no 4x4. Maybe the connector came loose from the transfer case...but now way I'm crawling under there to find...

    Hot long start

    It seems as if my truck takes longer to start when warm than it does if it sits (not cold, but normal weather). Before orings it took 1.2 seconds (according to Advance Auto's scanner) and sometimes takes a tad longer (seems like forever when it's cranking. Also seems like it takes longer than...

    Online workshop manual?

    I used to have a bookmark to an online Ford workshop manual, but now it is linked to some random thread...does anyone happen to have the correct link for it? I'm trying to diagnose a long hot start issue. Thanks, Jesse

    Finally replaced the glow plugs...almost

    Had a no start issue when below freezing and ohm tested the GP's from the VC harness and they came up dead, I thought it might be the harness. Yank everything out and continuity test the harness and it's good. Yank out the GP's on the driver bank an every one is bad. While I was in I...

    Block heater plug?

    I have an early 99 and where the block heater should plug into the oil filter housing is a big plug with a 1/2" ratchet (square) hole. Does this mean I don't have one or the electrical connections are behind that plug? Am I about to make a big oily mess by taking that plug out? Jesse

    Twildman chip and shift hunting?

    I bought a used chip from a owner who had it installed in a similar-modded truck to mine. It has a shift-hunting at 34-37 mph at part throttle light/no load, it doesn't do it with the stock tune. Any thoughts Jesse

    Help Needed Blown #30 fuse?

    Was driving down the interstate and I lost engine power immediately. Pulled over and realized the #30 30 amp fuse labeled injector driver relay coil fuse had blown. I switch it out with my 15 amp horn fuse and drive home. Replace it with the correct 30 amp and it's good for another couple...

    Trans temp..am I screwed?

    My buddy borrowed the truck to tow his car on the trailer. He told me that he noticed it shifted funny and saw that the temp was 200+. He pulled over and let it cool down to 200, then finished the 5 minute drive home. He then hopped on the interstate and drove back to where I was and told me...

    How much smoke on cold mornings?

    I have a 99 with no block heater and if it is below 30*, it normally takes two cycles of the key and then two-three starting attempts and it puffs blue-grey smoke for about a minute. I know it's just that Rotella is like molassas at that temp, but I'm curious if this is usual among y'all who...

    Cracked transmission case?

    I noticed a vibration that got exponentially worse over a day and put it on the lift and the bellhousing is cracked from about the 10 o'clock to 6 o'clock position...fun fun...now, what caused it? I am going to get a used transmission rebuilt by a local shop and hopefully that will last me...

    Fan wiring idea

    Looking to wire a single Taurus fan on my SD using a thermostatic relay and an AC relay. Simple enough, but I am wanting the thermostatic relay to be based on tranny temp. Here's my thinking... Moving >30 the only reason the fan would need to be on while moving is because I'm towing and need...

    Oil filter change interval(with Oil Bypass)

    I got my oil analysed at 5k, then bought an Amsoil bypass filtration system and analysed it again...big difference. Using RotellaT 15w-40 they recommended going another 4k and then send in another sample because they think it could be ran longer than that. They also said there appears to be no...
