    Power Steering Leak

    Hey Guys, I have a leak that's very hard to locate in the bay; I have a general idea due to the amount of fluid thats coated the outer tie rod. However, with the amount and time it been leaking there's fluid everywhere. I've cleaned it once before but it slimed up within a week, making an...

    Dana 50 solutions?

    Being basically a 60 housing, is it possible (or practical) to machine the housing to 60 specs so I can run the bigger internals with 35 splines?

    Slightly unstable at speed

    Hello, everyone. I'm still having an issue with my front end and hope someone has the "magic" answer I've been searching for... Replaced nearly everything in the front: tie rods, ball joints, sway bar bushings, track bar bushings, stabilizer; I also cleaned and lubed both sets of caliper...

    Gvw restrictions

    Hello everyone. My question concerns pulling over GVW through states with restrictions- AZ, CA, CT, FL, KY, LA, NE, NM, NC,UT. How strict are these states if I'm pulling, say, a 37 foot fifth wheel that is over my GVW but the truck otherwise pulls just fine? I've seen 3/4 Fords pulling 18k...

    Pulling the bed

    Looks like I'll be pulling the bed soon due to pump failure. While not complicated, I do have a specific issue; namely, this was a Minnesota truck most of its life and I'm afraid the bolts may be rusted to the frame. The last owner also rolled in a parts store liner kit. How much fun is this...

    Goal: Insane dyno number

    One of (if not the) first 1000 HP 444 using stock block and as many internals as possible and sticking with the HPOP set-up; drugs will be used (CNG and NO2). Proper tuning and combination of parts a must, including a John Wood full trans rebuild; nothing too crazy like common rail injection...

    Color change/rebadging

    Hello everyone. I have a Harvest Gold 250 (boring and too common in FL) that I want to completely color change to black or dark blue (or a tactical paint color I saw in a military surpluss magazine). For the solid, shiny colors I want to try the Duplicolor Paintshop system, but haven't heard...

    Tow Mirror Question

    My tow mirrors won't retract. I thought every year, starting with the 99 M.Y., that came equiped with these, had the ability to manually extend and retract. Am I wrong? If not, what can cause this to happen. Other than catching lots of wind, everything else works as advertised. :dunno

    UPGRADES

    This question has been around as long as there have been aftermarket upgrades for our trucks. Let me get this out of the way first. This truck is a daily driver. It will occasionally tow a 27 foot TT but will not be used for drags or pulls. It needs to be reliable and efficient. With that being...

    Muffler delete question

    Does anyone know of any muffler chain stores who carry pipe big enough to straight pipe my stock 7.3 exhaust? So far everyone carries 3" OD (max). Online kits are $60 plus...

    Dreaming of the 450 K.R.

    I just bought a 00' 250 7.3 and I love this truck. However, I've wanted an 08 450 KR since I drove one a couple of months ago. I have some questions. Does anyone own a 450 with the 4:30 gear set? All I can find is the 4:88. I won't need the capability that gear will give. What is your RPM's...

    Corrosion repair

    I don't know if this is in the right place but I couldn't find another suitable area to post in. Like most of our trucks, I'm assuming, I have paint peeling and surface rust forming in the wheel wells. It's bad enough on one side that there is no paint, just rust. Rust repair is one of...

    King Ranch leather

    I have a Lariat and am looking to upgrade to the leather used in the KR trucks. I've checked on the KR website but they don't sell swaths. Anyone have a source? BTW: Katskin sells something similar but it's not the same. I'm looking for saddle leather.

    King Ranch leather Wanted

    I have a Lariat and am looking to upgrade. Does anyone know where I can get the leather used in the KRs? I've checked the KR website but they don't sell just leather swaths. BTW: Katskin sells something that resembles it but is not the same. I want actual saddle leather.

    Cheap/no cost upgrades

    I can't find anything dealing with this. Does anyone have a comprehensive list that I can start with or point me in the right direction? I drive a 2000 4x4 7.3/automatic.:dunno
