    97 7.3 down

    I got the harness from ford. Got a diagram of harness off another site and harness checked out fine. So after 2 1/2 hours changing gasket and harnesses on pass side (1/2 hour trying to get trans dipstick and ground bolt back in) and an hour checking harness, changed IDM in 5 minutes and fired...

    97 7.3 down

    Hey guys, Towing a car on a trailer home last week and lost power. No CEL so I limped it home about 20 miles. Scanned it and first code was cam sensor. Changed it out and no change. Scanned it again and get P1293-High side right bank. I am correct that right is passenger side? So I changed Valve...

    No start???

    Here's what happened. Started Friday replacing the steel fuel lines up the left side of motor. Got it all back together and it ran for about 10 seconds and quit. Figured it was jus the bowl being empty. Cranked on it more and nothing. Only things I took off were 2 plugs on filter housing, first...

    Upgraded to a Class 5 Hitch

    I did the same thing a few years ago but the only Class 5 I could find was a Reese with a 2 1/2" tube. I got the adapter with it and certain trailers if I don't have enough tongue weight, the hitch will rock back and forth. Gets annoying after a few stop lights! Wish I would have waited a little...

    OBS Core/Radiator support

    I'm looking for a clean rad support for a 97 crew cab. Can find gas motor ones all over but diesels hard to come by. Aftermarket not really an option seeing how I am a bodyman and know how that stuff fits. Found one new one but it was over 8 hours away. Thanks guys!

    Help Needed Truck Stumbles while driving

    Still doing it after CPS changed. Stopped for a while and started again. What gets me is it goes away after a while. Could it be a ground issue? Truck is pretty corroded from sitting still for long periods. All this started this winter after I replaced both batteries with optima's. Could they...

    Help Needed Truck Stumbles while driving

    Changed the CPS and drove about 10 miles and let it idle for about 10 minutes. After about a 1/2 mile, same shuttering and no power. Will pick up if you baby pedal. Cleared up after about 10 minutes of that and hasn't done it since. Afraid to take it too far. Could it have been the computer...

    Help Needed Truck Stumbles while driving

    Hey guys, been a while since i've needed y'all! Last weekend on a Home Depot run, GF and I were just tooling up the road after about 8 miles the truck started acting like it was running out of fuel. Tried switching tanks but no change. Will run but as soon as you go to give it throttle, it shuts...

    01 X ball joints

    How is the axle shaft supposed to be removed from the knuckle? It has the seals for the vacuum assist. Are they to be destroyed and replaced? Definetly not as easy as my 97!

    Axle seal

    No. There are 2 seals on the axle shaft itself. One on the inner shaft that seals off the tube and one on the outer shaft that seals up the spindle bearing.

    Axle seal

    Has anyone replaced the RDS seals on the front axle shafts? The one that goes on the outboard shaft comes with the new spindles but nobody can seem to find the inner one. Keep giving me the one that goes inside the pumpkin.

    Wiring harness FIX for the UVC pigtails that burn!!!

    Ro, You dont really need a "special tool" to pin these or any plugs of this type. If you carefully remove the pin retainer (should be a different color than the plug material) you can use a paper clip or a safety pin to release the lock tab on the pin. If you put a little pressure on the wire...

    Amsoil ATF

    Swear by it. The only thing you have to worry about syn oils is that they have the consistancy of water. They will find the path of least resistance so if you put them in a motor or trany with some age, it will start to leak. For some reason seals and gaskets dont like change from petroleum...

    Spindle Froze

    While trying to get everything apart on one side to change the balljoints, I encountered the spindle was frozen into the knuckle. After hours of soaking and some heat I resorted to beating the heck out of it to get it loose. Anyone have a better idea on how to get it out without destroying the...
