    7.3 light throttle = hesitation

    I haven't received anything about it.. Also my complaint is the complete opposite.. If I push down "lightly" it surges.... If I force it to WOT it will pause for a second or 2 and then take off..

    7.3 light throttle = hesitation

    Well this came up on a search I was doing for something else.. My truck is doing pretty much the same exact thing.. Slight throttle it hesitates/jerks/bucks.. WOT it will hesitate for just a hair then take off like a bat out of hell.. It's very frustrating.. I have noticed if I'm...

    Question Tricks to change the Water pump?

    Nice writeup.. It was exactly what I did.. I did rent the tools.. Came in very handy.. Plus side.. No more leaks or squeals from the water pump... Bad thing is after a bit there was a squealing.. Doesn't squeal when at idle, but only when on the gas.. If the belt is wet it goes away...

    2001 F250 4wd diesel front ubolt question

    That's what I thought. Just wanted to make sure.. Stupid pieced together lift kit on my truck. Thankfully after the spring replacement I'll have everything the way it should be.

    Pro Comp spring issues.

    I'm lucky to have a shop so close to me. I'd be pissed to have to pay for shipping and wait.. Well then again I'm kind of irritated that I have to change the springs in the first place, but oh well.. Good thing I've done this kind of thing a lot and am saving labor..

    Fabtech traction bar owners....pics?

    Man I wish I would have seen this before I installed my bar. I can take pics of it on the truck.. Well this weekend I can snap a pic of what it looks like on the side that bolts to the frame. (I have to unbolt it to swap out springs)

    Well to save on money I called procomp and they said they will warranty the springs out. I called 4wp and they have a set of springs waiting for me. Guess I get to have a fun 2 hours on Saturday. :)

    2001 F250 4wd diesel front ubolt question

    Question.. From the factory do the u-bolts have a round or square bend in them? An owner of a stock F250 would be able to provide me with the best answer. I don't remember and need to buy new u-bolts for the front springs and want to make sure I get the right ones and don't trust that the...

    Man.. Couldn't provide me a link? Geeze! :) lol I'll go take a look. I'm going to buy the adjustable tracbar this weekend.. What brand should I go for? The only ones I've ever delt with when I installed kits were fabtech's

    Pro Comp spring issues.

    I searched for months and couldn't find any bushings for the BDS springs. I went to 4 offroad shops and zippo.. :( Ended up giving to someone looking for scrap metal. (this was over a year ago). I forgot about superlift.. That's sounds like a good route to check.. Just pisses me off...

    Trac Bar bushings

    I'm thinking of just going for the adjustable route.. Just have to buy shocks first.. Over the weekened we found out that the bushings and metal sleeves we broken/worn out.. So the shocks were moving all over the place on both sides.. I pulled em out and used some old bushings and sleeves to...

    Trac Bar bushings

    I completly agree. With the kit it has a bracket to center the axle so the rear tires are following the front tires... I was just interested in how the trackbar has to do with "allignment" :)

    Thanks for the welcomes! rray. It is a different place from when I was younger. I remember the Riverside raceway and when Moreno Valley was very few houses and a lot of empty land. Now it's houses everywhere.. Crazy Question.. Who do I go about talking to about getting my Username...

    Coil springs are a whole nother beast. :) Our skyjacker springs on the bronco have no sag in them at all. Love em. To bad I don't have a newer F250 with coils. :)

    Trac Bar bushings

    I don't understand that comment. The trackbar locates the axle to the center of the truck. The tierod ajusts the toe and the draglink adjusts the steering wheel. Theoretically even if it's not centered under the truck it should drive straight. Meaning with a Solid front axle you...
