    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

    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!

    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...

    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...

    Replacing needles bearings?

    Replaced both sets of ball joints tonight and got to thinking that with over 260,00 miles, it might be time to rework those needle bearings inside the axle stubs. Anyone have any input on this? Should I just smear some new grease in there and call it good? They don't look bad and the seals...

    Hub tool

    Anyone have a clue on how to get the big aluminum nut off of the front hub on a 96 f250 with auto hubs? Been to NAPA twice and still have the wrong tool. Trying to investigate a possible bearing failure and I'm already fed up with the deal. Ready to light it on fire and walk away!

    Worn hinge pins

    Anyone have any luck changing out just the pins or is that even an option? My driver's door has been drooping and it seems to be due to some slack in the hinge pins. Swapping out all new hinges looks like a big PIA having to remove the dash and such. Has anyone tried putting in some shims...

    96 PSD tranny problems

    Towing a load today and lost my first gear and reverse. Fluid does not appear burnt and was still registering on the stick although it's hard to tell much on that stupid dipstick. Obvious signs of fluid leaking all over the undercarriage so I added 2 quarts and still no change. Couldn't tell...

    What is it?

    First I'll try to explain what I'm looking at because I don't have my digital camera handy. Following the vacuum line from the pump it leads to a distribution block of sorts. From that, there is a short line that runs to a disc shaped object that is fastened to the driver side wheel well...

    Blackcloud injectors

    Does anyone have any feedback on injectors from these folks? Looking at getting the stage 1.5's. Feel free to shoot me a PM if you don't wish to voice your experience on the public forum. And if anyone has used these with the stock HPOP were there any issues with performance? Thanks.

    No power with Check Engine light on

    Twice today my truck starts normal and as I'm driving it suddenly has no power, the Check Engine light comes on and it idles roughly. When I try to accelerate, there's a bad vibration and it acts like it's not getting fuel. Conditions last for about a minute or less and it goes away. No other...

    Eating batteries

    Posting for a friend so I don't have any details. Symptom is, the batteries die even with the key off. This occurs within a few hours or overnight. I though it might be something in the GP harness. Maybe a bad relay !! He's fed up with the stealership and is looking at buying a...

    Dying to know.....

    ...what the heck is wrong with my ride. Yesterday when put in reverse the motor dies. Then it does it in forward but only when it had a little uphill angle. Seems that the idle is not adjusting when it's placed in gear but will drive forwards just fine, will even sit at idle in forward gear...

    Low Voltage

    Just indivually charged both batts. with external charger. Cranks with good speed but it takes about 2-3 seconds for it to fire off. GP's seem to be firing ok but I haven't but an ohm meter on it yet. Dash gauge indicates very low after initial start up (below the N in "normal" on the gauge)...

    Bullydog disappointment

    After having to wait several weeks, I finally had time to tear into installing my Bullydog turbo back 4" exhaust. First off, I thought to myself what a bunch of pipes !! Began reading the instructions and luckily I didn't jump right in and blindly follow them step by step. First two things it...
