    Hard to turn while parked/while using brake.

    Thanks for responding. Mine did that until I changed the Hydroboost. Now it doesn’t turn at while stopped. lol. It all started with the Red head box. It’s like everything else went bad after that. Or the box is too tight. I called red head and they approved me to back off then screw a half turn...

    Hard to turn while parked/while using brake.

    I’m so glad everyone had some advice or thoughts on this. It drives me crazy. I too think it’s the hydroboost except it’s new.. It’s a reman Dorman which I was told only to buy Motorcraft b/c even if reman they replace everything when others don’t. My friend asked if I had the lines backwards...

    Power steering and sticking brake

    Well I think this pump is gone too. It won’t turn but about 1/2 a turn when in park. Even with the foot off the brake reving it up it won’t turn. I must keep blowing these pumps or something. I read that using some of these pumps on diesels may not provide enough pressure since they are for gas...

    Power steering and sticking brake

    Thank you. I will do that some more. I did that on the last round and it did get foamy until it quit. Fingers crossed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Power steering and sticking brake

    I thought I would ask for help on my excursion... I changed PS pump due to no assist while stopped when brake was applied. I couldn’t turn the wheel at all with out reving it up like crazy. During pump change I added redhead box. After bleeding for ever the brake pedal was still squishy and...

    Looking at 2000 Excursion 7.3L

    I have a 2001 and you pretty much nailed it all on the head. Its my first diesel so I love its low end torque for pulling compared to all my gassers. I only pull around 7k though. It’s on it’s 3rd transmission. It had two stock ones that it burned through in 250k miles. I had a local shop build...

    203 thermostat or not

    I actually never put the 203 in there. Maybe I should. Maybe the one currently in there is bad. It was from PO so there is no telling. I need to inspect the fan clutch.

    203 thermostat or not

    Well it’s a year later and DFW finally got a freeze. We needed it. It’s been 18-25 for a few days now. As usual my EBP Valve has a mind of its own. I think I’ll try and did through the wires and unplug it. As for my temp, does this look normal? This is after driving an hour on the interstate...

    Eagle Eyes bulb swap

    Well I tried to twist them and they won’t budge. Looking through the front it looks like they pull out. I’m hesitant to grab it with some pliers. Well see

    Eagle Eyes bulb swap

    Has anyone put a better bulb in these aftermarket light housings? The ones that came in it are awful. My oem fog lights put out more light. I’ve been researching and most results come up with the entire assembly being installed. I unplugged it and the bulb is fixed. It looks like the entire...

    Moving Front Axle Forward

    That's awesome. Post a picture of your rig and 2 leaf rear pack I bet it rides good. I just got a pair of B codes for the rear. I hope it fixes my sway and soft ride.
