    Sometimes trying to make it better you actually make it worse. No sealer in oring gaskets. It probably leaked because the oring could not properly squish because of all the rtv.

    Help Needed 94.5 Coolant Leak - Rear Of Motor

    umm, silly question.... didn't your pump have the big molded o-ring gasket? this gasket fits into the groove on the housing. you dont need to slop it up with RTV to make it seal. the new pump should have come with it. if the old one did not have one, but had the groove, someone before you...

    2002 E350 - check engine light is on, how to decode?

    no, the old way of pulling diagnostic codes via key sequence and the likes of an analog vom dont work on these trucks. you need a computer with with OBD software. the ones at autozone and the cheap $50 code readers don't know the extended OBD ranges.

    Question f-250 tires

    think about load rating and capacity some more. for $120 total, its not really worth the peace of mind. and if you blow a tire, its gonna cost you more than $120 to fix or replace it. i think that you are best off going to E. then ensure they are aired up properly. ride is going to be like a...

    Help Needed The 99 is smoking again.. Why?!?!

    ccv mod to the open air will produce smoke. and if you routed it to the exhaust, it will pour out the tailpipe. who knows what kind of smoke is created by burning the waste motor oil blend in terms of color and toxicity. both are polluting the environment. why do you think that they say not...

    Help Needed The 99 is smoking again.. Why?!?!

    i would seriously doubt that your running waste motor oil cleaned up any polymerized veggie oil. anything causing FPR plunger getting stuck is serious debris. if you were running bioD then yeah, its an aggressive solvent and would clean crap up. anyhow- like TG said, what does the smoke...

    congrats! your intuition is right, the trans is not that hot. a wiring connection at some point is either not good or its shorting out somewhere. probably a ground from the brain box of the guage.

    Question What's on the right front that doesn't like to get wet?

    yeah, and that gigantic propeller of a fan will sling water everywhere if you get some anywhere near it too. do the water test and see if you can isolate the area. many of us will WASH our engines by spraying them with engine bright then putting a bag over the alternator then start the truck...

    what kind of oil to use in 7.3?

    is the castrol a Cx- group oil? C is for compression ignition, S is for spark. doesnt matter what brand, color, creed or religion the oil is as long as you use it and change it when it needs to be changed! i buy what is on 'sale' 5l motorcraft dino in the warmer months or 5w rotella in the...

    Question What's on the right front that doesn't like to get wet?

    i would not assume that the water is staying on the right side. best bet is to take some time and do a proper water test and see if you can re-create the condition. scientific like. spray one area at a time starting from the bottom and work your way up and from side to side.
