    High RPM Stumble OBS 7.3L

    I am at the end of my patience with this issue. My truck died on me a few weeks ago cooking the IDM. I had noticed a "dead spot" at around 2400-2600 rpm. It feels like a rev limiter or a top speed governor cutting out the fuel. The truck died and didn't start up again until I replaced the IDM. I...

    Dana 60 Build and Swap

    So after many years of teasing and ridicule I have finally purchased a Dana 60 for the front end of my 97 F250. Since I am a heavy duty diesel mechanic I have all the tools of the trade and equipment to make this a relatively smooth swap but I have a few questions before going any further. The...

    I have been having an issue with what I can only describe as a front end steering and suspension death wobble. The problem started about a year ago and has gotten more and more frequent until now when it does it all the time. The first time it happened I thought I had a flat tire because the...

    Steering wheel swap

    Does anyone know if I can change the steering wheel to a newer model. I have a 97 F250 xl and I want to switch it up a little. I am customizing my interior and want to know if I can update it a little. It has cruise control buttons on the steering wheel so I'd need the same sort of layout.

    STUPID STUPID STUPID

    I have now learned my lesson. Don't do a half assed job or jerry rig it. I had recently put together my electric fuel system and am now having to repair it every weekend since. Foolishly I used rubber fuel lines in the valley with hose clamps and barb fittings. Now I see the error in my ways. I...

    loose wheel bearings

    Been hearing some squealing lately out of the front end of my truck. Jacked it up and found the wheel/axle bearings are loose. Or rather the hubs were loose. May even have been that way since I did the U-joints in the front axles. It's been a long time since I did that so I'm wondering if the...

    Stupid Fuel heater

    Anyone know where the wires for the fuel heater originate? I switched to E-fuel but I guess I left the wire for the fuel heater hanging there and it shorted out the 30amp fuse thus killing the power to my ICM. luckily I've had this issue before so I knew the symptoms and which fuse to check. I'm...

    Cruise Control no work

    Since I had my clutch done the cruise control hasn't worked. Where is the sensor on the transmission? Or am I looking for something else? The neutral safety switch works so I know it's not that. Another issue since I got the clutch done is that the 4X4 lights don't show up. I know the transfer...

    I'm hoping there are a whole bunch of Canadians on this site. Most guys on here are from the US so this is a shout out to all the Canucks. Would be nice to have a get together sometime but this country is so spread out. Hopefully one day we could find a middle ground.
