    Front Auto Lock hubs - OEM

    Not the kit Im getting. However, their complete conversion kit with crossover stearing DOES get rid of the NON greasable ball joints and replaces with greasable. Powerstrokeshop.com sells a kit that replaces the front hubs and balljoints. I think they are asking 750 for it. For the record...

    Front Auto Lock hubs - OEM

    Dynatrac front hub conversion for 1700 dollars, or if you have a 6" lift or more, the complete crossover steering and hub conversion for 3000. BUT, dynatrac is backordered by at least a month. Thats why I had to buy the ford replacement, so I can have my truck while the conversion is on...

    Front Auto Lock hubs - OEM

    well, the tire shouldnt free wheel, if thats what you mean. You have residual valves in your brakes to keep about 2 pounds of pressure on the brake pads. THose are going to cause the tire to stop rotating very quickly. However, you should not be able to move the tire up and down, or in and...

    Front Auto Lock hubs - OEM

    Dynatrac has the best and correct conversion, but its 1500 for just the hubs/bearings. 3000 if you do the crossover steering kit too (only if you have 6" of lift or more). I froze a wheelbearing last night on the way home from work. Started out as a ticking noise, like a rock in the tire...

    Front end help

    sorry, your hubs are NON SERVICEABLE! Its the weakest link on the superduty front end, the "unit bearing" front hub assembly. You cannot grease, or change the bearings, you have to replace the entire hub assembly (about 300 bucks). Dynatrac sells a conversion kit to replace the front hubs...

    High fuel pressure

    I've heard that anything over 75psi will cause problems, such as fuel leaking past the injector o-rings, as well as pump failure and possible fuel bowl leaks. Although to be honest, I've never seen it in person, but then, i dont know many ppl who ran over 75psi for any length of time.

    air bags

    Your thinking of the "DRILL" style ride-rites. The NO DRILL version (2330) mounts INSIDE the frame, and not outside like the DRILL style. I have the 2330's. The 2330 does come with a heat shield for the passenger side bag, so you may be able to do a similiar deal on the drivers side if its...

    air bags

    duals as in exhaust? If so, the 2330's prolly wont work, because dual exhaust goes right where the drivers side bag needs to go.

    air bags

    LED conversion of Dash and door switches

    huh, I think every one of those looks horrible. I wanted the stock face, black background, but just change the colors of the letters/numbers. Those change the WHOLE FACE, or have a crappy background, or poor light reflection. Its impossible to find what I want, its why I always have to...

    air bags

    Firestone RideRites. They have two verisons. One you need to drill on your frame, and the other you dont. I have the model 2330 no drills.

    LED conversion of Dash and door switches

    hot spots as in bright spots, yes. LEDs can put off heat, but nothing compared to a regular bulb. I found that by shaving the LED down with a dremmel tool and sander it takes some of the directional focus out of the LED and spreads out the light some more. I also would dap a black permanent...

    LED conversion of Dash and door switches

    This topic is for the modification of your door switches and dash lights. A few years ago, I modified my truck from GREEN to BLUE lights. http://www.forgotton.net/diesel/dash/index.htm Some of you have asked how I did it, and I will be answering questions here about it. The factory...

    more folks plan to buy oil burners

    They THINK they will be buying a new diesel. The 2007 report I read from GM says expect a 7,000 to 10,000 dollar price jump due to the new emissions crap. A baseline diesel in 2007 will cost as much as a LOADED 2006.

    Adjustable 10K Mod

    You wont be able to get an LED to work off the ICP voltage. Its 0 to 5 volts, but mostly around the 1 to 2 volt range. Get a DOUBLE POLE switch. One pole will be your 10k mod, and the other pole will be a simple on/off with 12v on one side, and your LED on the other. Use resistors if you dont...

    Dash Disection

    Fingernail polish remover and Q-tips. Lots of Q-tips. You only want to scrub the areas that are GREEN, and none of the other areas. The green is hidden under the white diffusers (looks like a crosshatch in some places). Its just paint and comes off. Dont use anything harsh like straight...

    Dash Disection

    About a year ago, I yanked my dash to do a full blue light conversion. I took pics, and just never put them online. until now! http://forgotton.net/diesel/dash/index.htm After a year, the marker I used to color the dash has faded, so I need to re-pull it and use model paint and an...

    Please explain "stall speed"

    The only reason I said 1200, was I had read somewhere, long long ago, that someone bought a 1200 stall convertor for their truck. What I didnt know is if that was a stock stall speed or what. What I did know, was that the 2200 stall you originally quoted seemed really high, even for the...

    BTS Transmission

    I cant think of anyone who has ever regretted a BTS tranny. Even the guys that amazingly do manage to break a BTS tranny immediately go back to him for their next one, suprised it took them as long as it did to break it.

    LCD 'puter monitor?

    Keep in mind, a 19" crt is actually about 17 to 18 inches VIEWABLE. A 17" LCD is 17" viewable! So a 17" LCD will ALMOST be as big as a 19" CRT. It costs more, but the sony X-Brite screens are WAY NICE!!! The black is sooooo deep, it helps with contrast.

    Talk about the 7.3L CPS Here!

    There is no reason to go to Ford for this part. International, or any number of vendors sells the correct part for HALF the cost of Ford. Even Ebay if you can wait for the auction to end.
