    How to upgrade 7.3 fuel system?

    The first thing I did was a "Hutch" mod. That got rid of the OEM design flaws that allow air to get sucked into the fuel system in the mixer assembly. I also went with a good ol' rubber fuel hose between the top of the tank and the pump to get rid of the quick disconnects that like to suck air...

    Using the Garmin GPS in the boat

    Good eye Dave. The boat jump you're thinking of is the one in the James Bond movie Live & Let Die. The boat was a Glastron GT-150. Mine is the same boat, only a few years newer and different colors. Mythbusters was trying to replicate the jump. Live & Let Die Boat Chase FWIW, I'm...

    Using the Garmin GPS in the boat

    We got to go on our cruise yesterday. It was a real nice time, maybe a little breezier than we'd like. I got to try out the Garmin GPS with the lake maps. It worked pretty well. Besides depth maps of the lakes we crossed, it gave me speed, distance traveled and marked our path traveled...

    Using the Garmin GPS in the boat

    First off, make sure your Garmin is capable of using the Lakes Maps. It might not be compatable. Garmin Lakes maps HERE You'll need a SD memory chip. You'll probably need to down load the utility that allows your Garmin to talk with your laptop. You may need to upgrade your firmware on...

    Using the Garmin GPS in the boat

    Last spring break I bought a Garmin nuvi 205w GPS to use on trips. I got to wondering if I could use it in the boat too. After some reasearch, I found out that lake map software is available for most Garmins that are used primarily in road vehicles. But first I needed to get a SD memory...

    Question After Market Fuel Tank

    Many years ago I got an auxillary fuel tank. When I was shopping, the question I had in mind was "what is the cost per gallon of INCREASED capacity?" In my case, the factory tank was 38 gallons. A replacement tank with a 57 gallon capacity would yield a net increase of only 19 gallons. At...

    rant NO FISHING in Kalamazoo River

    Back in the days when I did industrial hearing testing, Enbridge pipeline was one of our clients. Every year I'd start off in Thief River Falls, MN and follow the pipeline across MN, WI, IN, da U.P. and downstate MI going to every maintenance station. It'd would take me about two weeks to get...

    Banks intake

    Doesn't look to me like it's much different than a Ford A.I.S. I noticed they claim improvement over stock as well as other brand intakes. But no comparison is made to the A.I.S. with the foam sleeve option. Hmmmmm----:innocent

    Track Bar Bushings

    I'm experiencing a thump/bump in the front end. Seeing as how the truck is 11 years old and they have never been replaced, I'm looking into replacing the track bar bushings. I'm looking into some Energy Suspension urethane bushings. In the catalog they show for a 99 F-250 a part number...

    Steering Slop Revisited

    Actually 5,7,9 looks like what I replaced. The steering stabilizer wasn't attached to it like appears on 6 I was looking for a decent pic, but didn't have much luck. 4,6,8 is the tie rod that goes from side to side. It shows the bracket for the steering stabilizer and the adjuster shown...
