    Stuck in park and blowing fuse

    Thinking you might be onto something there Joe. I went and disconnected the cruise control sensor on the master cylinder, then put my amp meter on and everything looked normal. Started plugging compenents back in and amps stayed normal. Ended up with everything back on incl. the cruise...

    Stuck in park and blowing fuse

    Nope nothing new there Dave, it's had the trailer wiring on it since i bought it. I'm about to go out and check the wiring on the master cylinder. From what I've been reading it could be a short there on the cruise deactivation circuit. Past that I'm going to have to assume it's in the wiring...

    Stuck in park and blowing fuse

    Thanks for the reply. I already took that switch off and bypassed it. Same thing happens, soon as you make that connection on the brake circuit the fuse pops. Also tried disconnecting the ABS module in case it was bad=no luck. Disconnected the 3rd brake light assembly=no luck, too out all...

    Stuck in park and blowing fuse

    96 7.3l keeps blowing dash fuse #13 (15 amp). If I put in park I have to replace the fuse to get it out of park. Even with it in neutral, as soon as you touch the brake pedal the fuse blows. I've unplugged the VSS and ABS module and still get the same results. Obviously a short somewhere...

    Valve cover wireing connector

    OK, thanks.

    Valve cover wireing connector

    Well for the time being they aren't critical. And they could actually be working, it's just that those 2 connectors looked the worst out of all 5. However, I don't understand how I could lose power and performance even after warm up? Help out on understanding that please. Thanks

    Valve cover wireing connector

    That's what I thought because it was running good. Don't hardly need the glow plugs here in TX anyways so who cares if they work or not! Thanks

    Valve cover wireing connector

    Ended up going withe the repair kit which was a breeze to swap out. Anyone know what the wiring schematic is for those connectors? My two outside contacts are in terrible shape and was just wondering what they controlled. Truck runs great so I'm guessing they aren't injector wiring. Assuming...

    Valve cover wireing connector

    Thanks Patrick. I know that it can be indicative of a problem underneat the VC's but I'm really strapped for cash and time now so I'll probably just fix the one external pigtail. About to head to town and see what I can find local before I order anything. With my fuel spewing episode last...

    Valve cover wireing connector

    Well got the new return fuel line on today and discovered that the two outer pins on one of the valve cover connectors are melted. Anyone replaced just the connector or is it a situation where you have to buy that whole harness? Thanks!

    Part number for that return line is F4TZ-9D308-A In case anyone needs it....

    Fuel leak

    Alt. isn't an issue. Took the AC off it's mount but it didn't really help the access although I can see the problem better. The pedestal that he the AC sits on is really the obstruction but it's bolted all into the block it looks like with the vac. pump and stuff in the way of getting it off...

    Fuel leak

    Well I guess Patrick was right. The rubber hose that leads from the driver's side head tot he FPR has a nick in it and I'm assuming that's where the leak is. Now I'm having an issue getting the lowe end of that hose off. It's crammed down behind the bracket that holds the AC compressor and...

    Fuel leak

    No it's not that. It started right after I jumped on the hwy. and got on the throttle pretty hard so I guess it overpressured a weak spot in a line. I could see it spraying up and it's coming from right where the two oil lines go to the HPOP. Looks like there is a fuel line running crossways...

    Fuel leak

    Yes but the new ULSD is almost like water it seems! Try to use it to light fires with and it seems like it takes a blow torch to get it going! Sure has made a mess of my engine compartment too, dreading tackling that today.

    Fuel leak

    Gewe ya' think! Thanks for all that info! Diesel isn't all that dangerous, it's made the whole undercarriage rust free though!

    Fuel leak

    Well I fell like the big idiot now, those are oil lines I was seeing. So I still don't know where the fuel leak is. It sure looked like it was spraying from one of those lines. Hard to tell when it's spewing fuel all over the place. Guess I'll be taking more stuff apart in the morning!

    Fuel leak

    No sir it's fuel, it's all over the truck and watching the gauge plummet as I limped home was what we call a clue! Could very well be that it's not the HPOP I'm looking at. It has 2 braided lines coming out on the driver's side. Each leads to each side of the engine into the valve covers...

    Fuel leak

    I tried searching but found no relevant threads. I'm hoping my past success with this forum will prevail! Pressurized leak coming from one of the lines coming out of the HPOP. It's the one that feeds into the driver's side bank. Questions... do I have to replace that whole braided line...

    Replacing needles bearings?

    Well i have it all back together now. I reasoned that they've probably been in the condition they are in for quite a while and I've not ever seen any debris in the shaft etc. so I just left it as it was. Hardly use the 4wd and certainly not at high speed and deep mud is not where my heavy a#$...

    Replacing needles bearings?

    BJS... from your drawing it looks like it would be #56. It seems like it was primarily a dust seal type of thing. What is #57 named?

    Ball joint reinstall problem

    Well the first one worked perfect. Then fought the driver side for about half an hour. The ball joint stud and the receiving part have to be clean and dry! Ended up using some carb/brake cleaner to degrease it and clean both side and it finally worked. So glad to have this forum, it has...

    Ball joint reinstall problem

    Thanks DaveBen. I gave up on replacing the U-joints and can't figure out what to ask for to get the seal on the axle shaft. So then I decide to end on a positive and put stuff together then I ran into the old spinning stud problem! Not a good day in the shop at all! Only thing accomplished...

    Ball joint reinstall problem

    Allright, I'm stuck. After replacing all the ball joints I can't get the lower's to tighten up. The stud keeps spinning when I try to tighten the nut. What's the secret?! It has a slot in the top but there's no way to get a flat blade screwdriver in it straight enough to stop the spinning...
