    Cyl Contribution Test & Injector Placement

    00' 7.3, with 160cc single shots I put in like 7\8 years ago, I believe from Full Force. I've never had my Forscan on the truck because I've never had to. Tried it out the other day for ****s and giggles, and ran a contribution test on it. It "failed" 3 & 8... This got me thinking, when I put...

    Decent Shocks On A Budget?

    The Bilstein 5100's in my truck are pretty much finished and the ride has gone to all hell (2000 super cab short box, BDS front leveling kit, OUO traction bars). What's recommended for a shock that won't break the bank or my back? The 5100's were pretty stiff since new, so preferably something...

    CCV Hose Dia

    Borderline stupid question, but... I'm sick of the vapor and cloud from my dumped CCV hose, so I'm adding a catch can. Is 5/8" dia large enough, or is 3/4" recommended? I have read guys using both, but figured I should ask.

    Sudden Hiss Through Speakers

    Pioneer Avic headunit to a cheap 4ch amp that was in the truck when I bought it. Speakers are JL 6.5" component's in the front doors, JL 6x8's in the rear doors. Listening to tunes all day while driving, then stopped off somewhere for a bit. Now, as soon as the amp's power up, there is a hiss...

    Power Sliding Rear Window Swap

    Is it possible to swap a power sliding rear window into a truck that came without? I've never dealt with one, so I'm unsure if there is a difference in the rear wall of the cab or any other differences.

    Blown oil seal on turbo

    Little bit confused here. It's a stock turbo I rebuilt a couple years ago, unplugged WG, DieselSite WW, removed EBPV system. The other morning the oil seal on the turbine side gave, luckily I didn't notice until after my short drive to work. The truck was plugged in all night, granted it was...

    Relocate Steering Stabilizer?

    Anyone relocate the stabilizer on an earlier truck to the drag link like the newer trucks, or elsewhere? Any pics, or is there a kit? (I haven't looked much at a newer truck to see if parts and mounts will transfer) My 2nd Bilstein in 2 years is bent and has failed. I won't be replacing it...

    WTF? Driveshaft Ball Joint

    Doing U-joints and go to replace this ball/socket joint and Ford says it's non serviceable. $700 for a new driveshaft is the only option. Anyone replace one with a 3rd party brand, or know if there is a Ford part # that isn't shown? No way in hell I'm dishing out for a new shaft to replace this...

    Supercab Owners?

    Any other supercab (extended cab) owners have the spot/plug welds fail on the lower front seam of the back doors? Mine have failed (pulled through); just looking to see if someone has done or found a better fix than just drilling a couple more holes to add two or three plug welds in the same...

    Brake Caliper Material Differences?

    Im replacing both front calipers on my 2000. They ask if they're metal piston, or a plastic/glass material piston. Mine are currently metal, any advantage to getting the other ones? Are the pads the same model? If I could not have one seize up again, that'd be fantastic...

    Service Decks

    Anyone run a service/utility deck (bed) on their truck? Pics? I don't remember seeing anything in the "flatdeck" thread. Looking for some potential ideas...

    Oil Leaks Galore!

    We're having a bit of cold spell for the last week. On Friday I ran the truck for a couple hours, stop at a friend's. Go to leave and notice a puddle under the back of the pan. Fearing a rear main I roll it inside to look, and then suspect the EBPV plunger on the pedestal. Tow it home the next...

    Turbo Pedestal Material

    Is it aluminum? Ebpv rod seal took a massive dumo tonight. Trying to come up with a quick solution to do tomorrow until I can get a non-ebpv pedestal.

    Front Axle Joints, Removal Question

    Replacing the U joints in the front axle. Pulled the hub + unit bearing assy, will the axle shaft not pull out through the knuckle because of a C-clip or a seal on the knuckle? Sucker won't slide through, and I've probably overlooked something obvious.

    New MIG Issue

    After only having an old arc on the farm and at work, I decided I wanted a small portable welder. Found a new Lincoln 180amp mig for a good price. Anyway, long story short, I got a tank of C-17 and tried running it with .025 and .035 in. (0.6 mm) SuperArc® L-56® Mild Steel MIG Wire. It will not...

    Best Riding Rear Leafs (99-07)?

    My 00' has the factory rear B codes. One of the passenger side leafs broke a little while ago (4th of 4, not a safety concern, yet), and the truck has the typical driver side lean. I'm wondering if there is anything I can replace them with that will give a smoother ride perhaps? I have helper...

    Is This A Factory Harness?

    Redoing some previous wiring on the truck today, pulled a bit too hard apparently on the Batt/Acc/Grnd harness . . . but can't for the life of me figure out where it plugs back into. Being white it has me wondering is it a factory harness/plug? The inline fuses also have me suspicious. I...

    Trailer Plug, No Parking Lights Power

    No power to the parking lights on the OEM 7-pin. All fuses check out, and no visible wire or harness damage. Where does the trailer wiring harness tie into the truck`s lights from? Any suggestions where to start tracing or has anyone else run into this issue? Thanks

    Clutch Pedal Bushing

    Anyone have a better solution than the factory plastic clip/bushing? Like a metal heim joint or something? Glad I kept the one from my last clutch system because the one I was running was about 1 gear change from failure. Thanks guys
