Axle Conversion
Attn DRW owners Anyone have any info?:dunno I talked to a guy in PA who put a Dana 80 from a cab/chasis truck in a his SRW 350 to convert to DRW. He told me that if the perches are moved it will work, but it is tight for the brake mounting hardware. The (cab/chassis) 80 axle (back of rotor...- bigjas

axle's?
My 99.5 has a Dana 50 up front and a Sterling 10.5 in the rear. My understanding is that the 10.25s were replaced when they rolled out the Super duty line. The 10.5 was used in the 250 & 350 SRW applications. The Dana 80 was used in the DRW applications for the 350 & 450 (at least in the early...- bigjas

Axle Conversion
Here's the deal. I need a new rear axle (another story) for my 99.5 250. I have a chance to buy a wrecked 2000 F350 chasis truck w/o engine or transmision for a good price but need to give the guy an answer tonight. The truck is to far away to get measurements at this point. The gear ratio is a...- bigjas

Exhaust Location
Has anyone just ran a straight pipe to a turn-down in front of the rear axle? If so, did you have any issues? Exhaust fumes building up under the truck? I have been running my truck with the back half of the exhaust (including muffler) removed since Saturday. I had to pull it to complete a...- bigjas

Fuel heater and filter cap woes
I finally got back to the truck. The heating element was soldered. Will try and re-solder it. When the heater plate is removed, the center black plastic tube comes out as well. There is a thin blue o-ring to seal it. Will any o-ring work (appropriately sized) or is this another dealer only...- bigjas

Fuel heater and filter cap woes
It is a bare wire. I do not know if it is the same as the earlier models. But that is my fear as well. I have not yet found anything that is rated to be submerged in diesel fuel continuously and exposed to heat (I don't know what the element temperature high value is). I am sure that lots of...- bigjas

Fuel heater and filter cap woes
There is some type of clear adhesive still attached to the heating element. It looks like the element was "super glued" to the three round things protruding above the metal plate.- bigjas

Fuel heater and filter cap woes
As I am poking around under the hood (checking glow plugs before it gets to cold) I notice the dreaded fuel leak. I have ordered the replacement vitron(?) o rings for the water drain valve. But, while trying to locate the leak, I discovered that my fuel heating element is no longer glued to...- bigjas
