    Camper shell

    the 'universal' toppers from the OBS trucks will fit fine on our beds. the only thing is that the front of the bed rail will show more than the rear. i suspect that a flat bottom aluminum will mount fine too. it WILL mount and clamp just fine. it will look UGLY but it will work. i had one...

    How to remove only a quart of oil?

    tempo oil boys are great if you have them... but in this case, with a 7.3 motor, there is a oil bypass port on the block that you *MIGHT* be able to slurp a little oil from. the supplyt port is on the the filter housing. you might be able to bleed a little off from there with the engine...

    Ford Dealers are Hypocrites

    lets be more clear in the discussion-magnusson moss is the foundation for your rights. there are others, but that is the biggie. 1. if you put an aftermarket part on your truck, and there is a problem that could be related to it, then it is the service writer's discretion weather or not it...

    trans temp gauge

    Yes there are ports to read the trans fluid temp. Since you don't have to worry about a manual tranny temp too much, I will assume that you have an AUTO transmission, an since its in the 99+ 7.3 forum, I would assume that you have a 4R100 auto tranny. I do not believe that the ZF-5 tranny has...

    Oil Prices Dropping Like A Rock Today!!!!

    i would gladly pay a little more for fuel knowing that it was 'harvested' in a safe and controllable way. i would rather pay for assurance instead of insurance. i would rather pay for those protections than to subsidize oil companies who pay no taxes on $5B in profits. but as sure as...

    re-explain your last 2 posts. truck was wrecked- what mechanical damage? washed out orings and using oil? 'splain lucy. low oil will not damage an hpop. stuck will shut down before critical level usually.

    wheel bearing assembly

    Dave- respectably, its not that easy. TMB- look in the wiki for a bearing writeup. parts bag has parts numbers for new studs in the picture. its worth it to get them from the dealer.

    7.3 coolant

    this is well known and a real issue. the walls if the cylinder liners are relatively thin compared to those of a solid engine. the shock wave due to the ignition of the fuel will initiate literal boiling point in the coolant microscopically at rough spots on the liners in the coolant bath...

    7.3 coolant

    they are SCA, supplemental coolant additives. the additive is to prevent cavitation (think boiling) around the cylinder jackets. you get test strips from diesel service centers or truck stops. they come in 4 packs and bottles. you only need 4 a year. you do this with green coolant for sure...

    7.3 coolant

    big joe- respectfully, ford didn;t 'approve' the switch, navistar switched its fleet engines to gold coolant and 7.3 drivers followed. remember, they ALSO equipt their engines with coolant filters! iirc, the early 6.0's had green, then midyear they switched them to gold coolant. remember...

    02' 7.3l cranks - wont start

    check your batteries. does your tach move when you crank? status of fuel and fuel filters? do you get dash lights on key on? -> check your fuses under the hood in power dist. block.

    No-Start....weird reactions...help asap!!

    d00d, don't double post across forums. start it one place and keep it there. you should probably have put this in the 911 forum anyway. check you cables and connections. if it the only thing that changed was you took the batteries out to charge them back up and then recharge them, then its...

    DP tuner questions

    give jody a call and tell him what you just said and what your goals are. he will tell you his recommendations. i dont think you will realize the 140 programming with stock injectors and hpop. fuel economy is a fallacy- the saving will be offset by your lead foot! think about the valve...
