    2008 F-350 slight vibration

    Auto hubs can stop functioning correctly, but usually they stay unlocked no matter what, though I have heard of them rarely getting stuck on. Could try spinning the drivelines with the wheels on the ground to confirm they are both actually unlocked, but likely not a the issue. That was my next...

    2008 F-350 slight vibration

    Hub locked in or stiff that turns at lower speeds but doesn't at higher speeds?

    developed some steering play

    I know some also replace with a borgeson steering shaft that isn't susceptible to some of this type of play. I haven't done it myself yet, but the steering has gotten looser, so likely will in the future.

    A1000 Fuel pump alternatives

    At those levels I think a stock superduty pump is probably adequate and reliable.

    Favorite injectors

    I had a spare HPOP at the time, so that made my troubleshooting pretty easy (after I tried an IPR on the side of the road that didn't do it).

    Favorite injectors

    You might contact dieselsite to see what they have to say. I had one fail after quite a few years and miles (not as many as you though) and I was content with the service and resolution I received.

    Stand Alone Trans Controller & OneGauge Digital Gauges

    Disclaimer: I have not found out for myself. However, I thought the only thing needed from the dash on a 7.3 was a bulb or resistor in place of the battery "idiot light" on the dash. I believe it is part of the line that completes the signal from the PCM to tell the alternator to charge.

    Do it all tire recommendations

    I have had really good luck with BFG ATs on my 97 with 200k+ miles. 40-50k miles on a set, quite a bit of towing and some general driving. I did have the first set where the middle tread wore out running at max pressure. The next set is doing better running them at a little lower pressure. They...

    Fuel tank selector valve bypass method?

    As long as one had fuel you should be OK from a cavitation stand point. However if one tank has fuel higher than the top of the other, (ie, both full) it could cause fuel to run out the vent of the lower tank (the tanks are not sitting at the same height). I also think an assumption that the...

    I really appreciate looking but that's getting a little steep for my rust bucket. I'll try the aftermarket and get back with you if it's complete junk. Thanks again, and you'll have my business again.

    I guess if you don't mind seeing if you can track it down, I would be interested in seeing what they want for it. Thanks, John

    Front driver door speaker not working

    I am not sure what year truck or sound system, but mine the wires broken/damaged between the amp and the speaker, so I ran new wires.

    Front left hub noise

    I didn't type fast enough, haha. Disregard my last post.

    Front left hub noise

    They sell ball seat kits, I believe the spicer number is 10018440. I opted get a new yoke with the ball in it (this was on a 97, but I assume it's similar), not the whole double cardan assembly, just the portion of the yoke that has the centering ball. This fixed me up.
