    Wiring and electrical help.

    A couple years ago I removed the bed from my truck and replaced it with a wooden one. As this was only supposed to be temporary, I wired in some cheap trailer lights (1157 bulbs). Unfortunately this modification has become permanent. Wanting a better set up, I recently re-wired everything...

    Anyone know where I can get one of these...?

    'Bout a year and a half ago I had the body shop at the local tech school remove the bed from my truck for rust repairs. Long story short, they didn't do what I asked them to do and when I called them on it, they pretty much refused to finish the job to my specs. Rather than put a rusty bed...

    Oil gurus - a question

    As some of you may or may not have read in my thread on manual hubs, I found the pinion nut on my rear axle (Dana 80) was loose and had ruined the seal.

    Blue smoke on start up

    Hey all, It's getting cold here in the northeast and lately I've noticed blue smoke when I start up. The colder it is the more the smoke. A couple days ago it was in the low teens. I'm surprised the fire dept. didn't show up thinking the house was on fire. Strange thing is, I checked the oil...

    Vacuum pump ???

    I had my truck in to the local Ford garage the other day for brake work. The service manager called when it was done and told me I needed a new "vacuum pump". He explained to me that was the reason my steering wheel was so hard to turn when the engine was at low RPM's and/or I had my foot on the...

    Turning off back up lights

    One night about a week ago, I was trying to back up my camper in the dark. Needless to say, as soon as the back up lights on my truck came on, I couldn't see spit because of the glare. I'm sure I'm not the only one that's experienced this problem. Anyone have any suggestions on the best way to...
