    Question on uneven tread wear

    Ok, well I guess I'll be doing the ball joint that's bad, getting the tires reballanced and rotated, and getting a fresh alignment. I can't afford to do all 4 ball joints though, probably going to have to stick with replacing just the one that's got play. What's the reason for doing all 4 if 3...

    Question on uneven tread wear

    Unfortunately I'm in the middle of a move right now, sp I don't have access to my jack or jack stands. But the last time I had the truck in the shop they said there was about 1/8" of play in that ball joint, but that it wasn't an issue yet and could still be driven for awhile. Is that the...

    Question on uneven tread wear

    I have 35" Nitto Trail grapplers on my rig. (96 7.3 F250 w/4" lift). The tread on the inside of the front passenger tire is wearing a little unevenly. One lug is high, one lug is low, the next is high, the next low, and so on. It appears to be just the inside portion of the tire that's like...

    Ac weak at highway speeds

    Ok, when they ice over like that, is that usually caused by being dirty and/or clogged? Or is it caused by something else?

    Ac weak at highway speeds

    The blower motor is working now though. I jiggled the wiring and it has been fine since. Also, what do you mean "if the evap is freezing it will blow air flow"? Did you mean block?

    Ac weak at highway speeds

    Update: I just went out to check if the ac compressor clutch was engaging as per Tiha's suggestion. Before I could even do that though, I realized that immediately upon starting the truck, that the fan wasn't blowing at all. The AC compressor clutch was turning initially, but then it stopped. I...

    Ac weak at highway speeds

    Ok thanks for the input guys. I just realized I said I was wondering if the condensor was dirty or freezing up in my original post. I actually meant to say the evaporator. I've heard that the evaporator core fins can get dirty and clogged on these trucks, and that can affect the ac performance...

    Ac weak at highway speeds

    Ok so I just got back from a drive around town. The engine is still pretty warm. I tried spinning it by hand with the engine off, and there was a decent amount of resistance, but I was able to spin it by hand in both directions. Then I turned the engine off and tried to stop it with a piece of...

    I'm not sure. How would I go about checking it?

    Ac weak at highway speeds

    Hi guys, I have an AC problem I figured I'd submit to the hive mind here lol. I just had my truck into a local shop because my ac wasn't cooling enough. It was still blowing cold(ish), but if I sat at idle the temp at the vent would slowly climb. The shop evac'd the system and pulled the orifice...

    OBS door panel repair solutions!!

    Hi there, sorry for the late response. For some reason I'm not getting notifications when people comment on my posts. Anyway, to answer your question; YES. I tested them by twisting the panel back and forth at the weld area on multiple different welds, trying to put stress on the welds in...

    OBS door panel repair solutions!!

    Hey guys, as our trucks get older all sorts of things start to pop up on us that need repairing or replacing. One of those things is our OBS doornpanels, which are NOTORIOUS for cracking and breaking. The door panels on my 96 F250 were no different. I had put it off as long as I could. I...

    I likely would have gone that route, but I didn't have any way to weld aluminum.

    Turbo pedestal oil leak after replacing O rings

    I wish I would have known how to modify the stock pedestal like this before I went to all that trouble! Haha. Live and learn I guess...

    Turbo pedestal oil leak after replacing O rings

    Lastly, I should also note that part of the reason it became so expensive for me is due to the fact that the obs center section and obs turbine housing simply would NOT separate. This forced me to buy a new turbine housing. It also forced me to buy a new turbine wheel/shaft as well since I...

    Turbo pedestal oil leak after replacing O rings

    Hey guys, so after much procrastination I ended up NOT going with the RTV method. I just didn't want to risk having it still leak afterwards and needing to do the job AGAIN. Plus if it did leak still, I REEEEAAALLY didn't want to have to scrape all that silicone off too. So I did some searching...

    Turbo pedestal oil leak after replacing O rings

    Hey I'm just now seeing this. For some reason I never got any email updates that there was activity in this thread, so I apologize. I just read through everything you wrote and it seems like we're both in the same boat more or less. I never did get the deleted pedestal to work without leaking. I...
