    Steer me in the right direction

    Ok, I decided I couldn't take the squeaking anymore and took it to a trusted front end mechanic. I really thought the squeaking was coming from the column, but he found otherwise. It seems the sealed ball joint and sealed drive joint were both shot on the left front, as he showed me what they...

    Steer me in the right direction

    Would anyone have an idea as to what might cause your steering column to squeak and creak, when turned to the right and left. It’s as if it needs to be oiled or greased, but I see no way to do so. 97 F250 Crew Thanks

    Grinding metal

    Yes talking about the the output shaft from the transfer case to the frt diff. I thought the greased type were better, as I've had better luck with them. I suspect I'll replaced the others given the mileage 130,000. Thanks

    Grinding metal

    Yesterday when I engaged 4wheel drive system on my 97 crew, I heard nothing but grinding metal. My first thought, 4wheel drive is going! Turns out two of the sealed U joints are shot on the 4wheel drive. I'm not sure about others, but I have never cared for the sealed Ujoints with no zirk...

    Radiator Additive

    I'm told by the dealership that an additive made by Ford should be added twice a year to the radiator, would anyone happen to know if this is true? (97 F250 127, 000) Thanks

    Vacuum pulley honed

    Seems to be going around. Just did the same thing, but used a pulley puller to pull and replace, worked great. Check and make sure part number are correct for yr. Don't know if you bought new or rebuilt, but I was advised to buy new. Total time to replace, about 45 mins. Good luck..

    vacuum pump removal 97 7.3

    Hello, I'm new to this site and am looking for input on how to remove the vacuum pump on a 97 diesel 7.3. Also, I understand the first step is to loosen the tensioner, but not clear on just how it moves out of the way so belt can be removed. Sure would appreciate any support. Thanks
