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...

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...

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...

Hey guys, I have been using atf in my power steering system for the last few years with no issues. I just had to replace one section of hose, and lost most of the fluid in my resevoir. I refilled it with fresh fluid and had just enough to reach the cold full line on the dipstick. I ran out of...

Hi guys...I just spent the last 2 weeks replacing my turbo pedestal with an ebpv ******d pedestal. I replaced the O rings between the pedestal and turbo, and the o rings between the pedestal and engine. I just got everything put back together and checked for oil and exhaust leaks. Everything is...

Hi guys, I ordered the ebpv ****** pedestal from a place a few months ago and just got around to doing the job. I got the turbo pulled last night and just went to swap the pedestal this morning, and upon unboxing the new pedestal I noticed that 2 of the 4 mounting holes for the bolts that mount...

Hi guys, anyone have the torque values for the bolts on the 1) turbo to pedestal, 2) pedestal to block, and 3) turbo to exhaust flange, respectively? I'm replacing my pedestal orings in the morning, and I'm going to be doing the full ebpv ****** (pedestal and the valve) while I'm in there. Never...

Hey guys, the question is pretty self explanatory based on the title. I have my 96 7.3 F250 in the shop right now getting the engine pulled to replace the timing cover gasket. The truck has over 315k miles on it and I don't know how many previous owners it's had or if the rear main has EVER...

Hi guys, I have a 96 7.3 with a coolant leak coming from somewhere on the driver's side of the engine, towards the front. It doesn't appear to be coming from anywhere on the top of the engine, or any of the coolant hoses, or the water pump weep hole. It is running down what looks like the...

Hi guys, not sure if this is the right place for this question. If not let me know. Anyway, I just did the bb fuel pressure regulator shim mod where you put a bb in between the plunger and spring that's located under the 19mm bolt on the driver side of the fuel bowl/fpr housing. Underneath...

Hi guys, I am wanting to mount a 10,000 lb - 15,000 lb winch on my front bumper. It appears to be a custom bumper, it was already on the truck when I bought it so not sure, but it is very similar to a ranch hand legend. I don't have a winch yet. Haven't bought one because I don't know for sure...

Hi guys, I am replacing the ac compressor, condensor, dryer, evaporator, and all Orings lines and hoses on my 96 F250. After I do this I plan on driving it to my mechanic to have him charge the system properly. My question is: will it damage the compressor or any of the new components if I...

Hey guys, I'm about to replace my motor mounts on my obs F250 and wondering what the best brand is to get (and where to find them)? Thanks

How's it going guys? I'm doing this a little bit backwards as I've already made a few posts but I figured I'd introduce myself here as I'm still fairly new. I bought my first diesel June of 2017, it's a 96 7.3 and I love this thing more than I could love a human child. Haha. Jk. Mostly. I like...

Hey guys, so the battery light on my dash is flashing when I have my accessories turned OFF. I can't seem to figure out why. My alternator and batteries are both new and it's still doing it. If I turn my headlights on, or my ac AND radio, or my KC lights, it stops flashing though. I'm stumped...

Saginaw Swap, need help Hi ya'll. This is my first post so bear with me please. I have a 96 F250 7.3 with over 300k miles, and after putting a 4" lift and some 35" Nitto tires on august of 2017 the steering gear box started leaking around nov/dec 2017. I replaced it with a RedHead gear box, but...
