    Question "Fail-Safe Engine"

    i feel your pain. i am surprised that the insurance won't cover it. i dont think the overheat shut off it would work like you think. the engine cooling is dependant on the engine running- water pump, fan, etc.. so shutting off the engine would cook it instead of cooling it off...

    stuck thermostat?

    mike- if i am reading your post correctly, your coolant filter supply is the bypass port on the pump. that is how most of them are routed. the coolant flows from the pump, through the filter, then into the degass bottle. that is correct. if your autometer gauge is not reading, i would suspect...

    First time my truck has broken down on me!

    If you pull the solenoid, hot still have a loose hot wire. I would not put boost gauge there either b/c you really want to reference the map sensor reading. That way you can find out if the sensor it flaky.

    Question Oil Consumption

    but consider there is an operating range for fuel pressure, and knowing that it runs means that there is enough fuel being fed to the motor. i do not recall what the range is. makes sense that the pressure drops at load. are we still chasing excessive oil consumption? you got a manual JR? dp

    OK guys I need some help!

    you can actuate the motor on the transfer case with a wrench. there have been a few people with similar problems this winter with posts and replies and info. poke about, you will find it.

    Where do I find these parts?????

    doing the regulated return does many things. yes it is worth it. what it does give you is a much more CONSISTENT and EVEN fuel pressure. think the difference between a blow off valve and a true pressure regulator. that and you truly eliminate the dead headed fuel system which is a BIG plus. dp

    Question Pre March 99 vs Post March 99 Hubs - Interchangeability?

    dragan- let me make sure i get this right, in 12 years you have not serviced your hubs and because the oring is missing, you are concluding that it was not installed at the factory? i think that is a bit of a stretch.

    Question Pre March 99 vs Post March 99 Hubs - Interchangeability?

    Dragon- search here for the TSB info, you can get those parts with the part numbers from the TSB. DaveBen- you seem surprised that the bearings are unit bearings and that Ford is the bad guy. Most of the manufacturers have gone to unit bearings for both cars and trucks for almost 10 years...

    Question Oil Consumption

    j: look at the vendors. iirc, itp/sinister had bits and pieces. dieselsite might too. caps and spings and spacers. the oring guy might have some stuff too. remember, the fuel system works by the fuel pump on 100% of the time, the fuel pushing through the heads and finally against the...

    The Next Charlie Wenzel on Powerstroke Nation. PASS IT AROUND!!

    its actually gotten a little frightening...its so 'popular' that they have server problems. the whole thing has devolved into a homophobic grunt fest. and to what end? it paints diesel truck drivers as a bunch of neanderthal vigilantes. this morning its up to 200 pages- most of which are...

    low sulfer/ultra low sulfer fuel

    technically, they knew the forecast for ULSD in the late 80's when the injection system for the 7.3's was being engineered. they were designed to be run in ULSD. but we have found that 7.3's are happier with a little lube. powerservice LOWERS the fuel lubricity since its all solvents a...
