I'm looking to buy an A-Pillar gauge set soon. I might want to add a 4th gauge down the road besides the standard 3. So I've been debating getting a 4 gauge pillar, but I was wondering if they make a cap to plug up the 4th hole until I'm ready to do it? If so, who sells them?

I talked to NCHornet (I guess the designer of it). Obviously he will be a little bias to it, but it sounded like a good option.
Not sure where to post this. So I will just post in the general section. I'm looking for affordable differential covers (for both the front and rear of my '02 F250) that have a drain hole. I don't care about chrome or looking fancy. I primarily just want the drain hole for ease of...
Thanks for the info. Are you still supposed to have a 50/50 water and coolant mixture, or does that not hold true with diesels? How many gallons of coolant do I need (water as well if used)? How much of the DCA? I don't have any of those stores here. I do have Napa that I can check.
Again, I'm a newbie to diesels and I'm looking at doing a coolant flush on my 7.3L. I'm hearing different things about what coolant/additives to use. I called a couple of local shops and they said you just add 2 bottles of this DCA additive to regular coolant. Does this sound correct? I just...
I ordered just the o-rings online for like $4.00. Installed them yesterday. So far it looks like the leak is fixed, but I haven't driven it a lot. Keeping my fingers crossed. Just want to say thanks for everyone's input.;tu
I've been watching the videos of Bill Hewitt on POWERSTROKEHELP.COM and I came across the one where he talks about changing the oil in the top of the engine to help prolong the life of the injectors. I'm very anal about maintenance. So I want to do this myself. I was wondering who else does...
Do you remember what you paid for the whole unit, and did you get it from a Ford dealer? I've heard people say $20 and others say $50 for the whole unit?
Does anybody have the actual o-ring sizes? I have access to a lot of o-rings at work and might have the right size. If I could afford to be down a truck for a while, I would just pull them out and match them up. Just figured I would ask first.
Tranny Service
I just purchased my first diesel truck (2002 w/ the 7.3L). I attempted to do my service the old fashioned way by dropping the pan. I was going to drain the fluid out of my torque converter but found that it did not have a drain (my '01 Super Duty w/ the V10 had a drain valve on...
I'm completely new to diesels, and I could use some input with a fuel leak I have on my 2002 7.3L. It is dripping fuel out of a metal hose going into my filter housing in the engine. The line is the one underneath the yellow, manual water separator drain valve. It looks like it is going into...
I'm looking to purchase my first diesel. I have a vin# for one I'm looking at and was wondering if there is somebody out there that has access to pull an Oasis report for me. Truck is a '99 SD. Please send me a PM if you can.
I was just curious if the '99 - '04 diesels come with a 2 piece drive line w/ the carrier bearing, or do they come with a solid one piece shaft? I know that my '01 w/ the V10 came with a 2 pc and carrier bearing and caused some issues because I had a small lift on it. I just thought the 1 pc...
Well, I've officially sold my V10 Super Duty and now the serious diesel shopping will begin. Kind of bitter sweet. :( I will miss my truck, but I'm looking forward to getting my first diesel. Wish me luck....;tu
'99 Power Stroke
So if it has 4 wheel ABS, does that mean it has the upgraded rotors and calipers? For the diesel newbie, is there an easy way to tell the difference between the truck that has the changes and doesn't (take into account that I'm not used to looking at either model)? I just...
I read somewhere that there were changes (improvements) made in the middle of the year on the '99 Super Duty diesels. I don't remember if it was on this forum or a different one where I found it. I was just wondering what those changes were again, how do you tell which one you have, and are...
Thanks for the replies. I've put my truck up for sale in the local classifieds just to see what happens. And I'm currently searching the classifieds for a diesel in good shape and for the right price. Hopefully everything will work out well. Wish me luck.;tu
