    Winter is coming...

    I might add that I just did this myself and both of my battery posts had green copper oxide on them. I mixture of baking soda and water took care of that. I cleaned the cables and posts and now the truck starts great!

    Winter is coming...

    With the colder weather comes the dreaded "hard start" or the "no start" is bound to show up. We get a lot of "My truck won't start and I replaced the batteries recently". To most here "recently" means within the past 10 years. To me it means within the past three years. Batteries wear out...

    Brake sizing F250 and F350 SRW

    I can't tell you about the brakes, but the hitch is a dealer add on. I have a friend who has a dually F-350 and his rear brakes are bigger than my Single F-350.

    06 will crank but not start

    Is your check engine light on?. You can fill the reservoir with anti freeze and watch it. Your cooling system is low if no water is in the reservoir. You might have to take it to a mechanic (does NOT have to be a Ford mechanic) to get your truck scanned. This will tell them what is going...

    Question A/C Not Working on 2001 F250 PSD

    You may have a vacuum leak and that would cause the heater/AC to go to DEFROST mode (default). You would not feel much through the vents or floor vent. Don't screw with the electrical much until you check the vacuum lines. If you have 4 wheel drive look at the lines going to the hubs, behind...

    Question A/C Not Working on 2001 F250 PSD

    It is a DC motor and it will spin backwards if you hook it up backwards. Don't be afraid of this, just hook one wire up and TOUCH the other one to the other battery terminal. It should jump and then spin. If not, the fan motor is shot. Good luck!

    Question A/C Not Working on 2001 F250 PSD

    I would use test wires with an alligator clip on each end. It is just to test it and see if it runs or not.

    Question A/C Not Working on 2001 F250 PSD

    I would just connect the fan to 12v and see if the fan works or not.

    Question A/C Not Working on 2001 F250 PSD

    Probably fuse 20 or fuse 21. These are switched from the ignition as the AC only works when the truck is running.

    Question Can someone PLEASE tell me what this is!?

    WVO = Waste Vegetable Oil. It needs to be heated in winter to flow, more than #1 diesel.

    Batteries...........

    YES there is a big difference in the starting ability of two batteries. These engines are hard to turn over from a dead start and the current capacity of the two batteries makes this happen. A single battery would not be able to get the engine up to cranking speed if cold. There is a minimum...
