    Hydroboost issue?

    I bled the brakes with a Vacula.. good flow, clear fluid. Especially in the rear calipers. The power steering thing got me to thinking.. these Ford power steering pumps use ceramic rollers, and my pump is getting weak.. makes sense that ceramic fines could find their way into the valves &...

    Arc welding with gpr

    I'm a little late to the party, but why didn't you just hop to a parts store and grab a small spool of fuse link wire, crimp connectors and some shrink tubing?

    Hydroboost issue?

    Anyone have to replace a hydroboost unit because it was causing the brakes to drag? Mine will just about bring the truck to a stop dragging so hard, then you hear a couple of pops out of the dash and the drag dissipates and the truck rolls free. According to Identifix, the average mileage...

    A/c help

    man.. talk about a shade tree fix.. Yeah. I agree with Dan. The previous owner had a control circuit problem, and cheaped it out by wiring the toggle switch in. Seemed like a good idea, but you can ice up an evaporator in a heartbeat with no low pressure cut-out.

    Intermittent vibration at high speed

    Guys.. I don't think he has death wobble.. Sounds to me like he has a worn out driveshaft yoke and the shaft is flopping around... essentially throwing itself out of balance

    Tightened steering box

    No. You can get it so tight it won't go over center, but unless you INTENTIONALLY over ream it, you won't bust it. But by the time it's needs adjustment, it's got the gears worn to the point all you are doing is jamming two worn parts together.. I think what guys do is keep jamming, and...

    I keep mine in one of the map pockets in the driver's door. Kinda like the ballast resistor for your Granddad's old Dodge van..

    If you had to do your build all over...,

    if I knew then what I know now, I would have gone with a stronger trans build.. I wasn't counting on the ALL STEEL three-horse slant with living qtrs. gosh DANG that thing is heavy.. then put a couple of draft horses in it.. you KNOW that thing is back there.. I may have re-geared the axles as...

    2002 7.3 no start

    1. does the Wait To Start light come on? 2. can you hear the glow plug relay click on & cycle off? Not saying injectors COULDN'T be bad, but it's not likely given the time of year.
