Message: [QUOTE="TARM, post: 1033142, member: 578"] Your Post is sort of vague. You have a list of somethings a number of which do not have to do with, at least, saftey inspections. Give us a list of the specific things that failed. As for your list: -Diamond Eye 4" TBE T-409 W/ muff:[COLOR="MediumTurquoise"] I got mine from [URL="http://ktperformance.net/i-7437281-diamond-eye-4-turbo-back-exhaust-ford-1999-03-f250-f350-7-3l-power-stroke-single-t409-stainless.html"]KT Performance[/URL] ( not sure if they are or were a vendor on here ever) I think Swamps carries the Diamond Eye line. Do not think Dennis does at Stictly does so you will need to see on that. [/COLOR] -Firestone airbags, spring plates and u-bolts: [COLOR="MediumTurquoise"]Why do you need air bags? Leaf springs sagging under light load or is this for heavy towing leveling. If its the prior I suggest getting some salvage yard leaf springs off another 250/350. If not do some searches on the various vendors sites. IF you do end up needing them I would say talk to Cary @ CT about it while you are discussing the steering stablizers[/COLOR] -Steering stabilizers: [COLOR="MediumTurquoise"] I got a number of my suspension parts such as those form Cary@ CT Performance. Great CS was my personal experience.[/COLOR] -Poss wheel tire set up if I bent the wheel(s) I will need some -Head Lights and third brake : [COLOR="MediumTurquoise"]IMO salvage yard will be cheapest unless you are looking for aftermarket look[/COLOR] -Water In fuel every three days drain it need a fix or better solution.: [COLOR="MediumTurquoise"]Drain you tank if you are getting that much water in your current tank of fuel. Water does not just show up unless its a very old tank of fuel with a open cap. It comes from the filling station tank being contaminated or very old. If you have gone thru a few tanks then I suggest you switch filling stations. Also change your fuel filter with every oil change if you are using the standard factory fuel bowl setup is my recommendation i.e every 5K Mail order Donaldson filters if you can nto get that brand locally. They are by far the best in terms of micro rating and water sep. If not second is the factory Racor brand. Stay away from all NAPA and WIX Donaldson P550437 Racor PFF4596[/COLOR] -EBPS sensor and tube: [COLOR="MediumTurquoise"] For the tube and a nice cover plate [url]http://www.strictlydiesel.com/p-2674-driven-diesel-hpop-gear-access-cover-kit.aspx[/url] For the sensor I strongly recommend only Ford or IH parts for all sensors and electronics on this engines such as UVCH ICP IPR etc.. Same for this sensor although it a bit less critical over all.[/COLOR] -Coolant filter: [COLOR="MediumTurquoise"] Either the add on filter kit from Diesel site or if the water pump is going take care of two in and one with less crap under the hood and get their IH water pump conversion kit which is about the same price as a factory water pump and the filter kit. All can be found on this page [url]http://www.dieselsite.com/coolantfiltration.aspx[/url][/COLOR] -Oil drain plug: [COLOR="MediumTurquoise"]standard plug Auto parts store or get the Fumoto Engine Oil Drain our engine part number is I believe F-111[/COLOR] -Gauges and pod : [COLOR="MediumTurquoise"]If you can afford it and want good accurate readings its hard to go wrong with ISSO Pro. I would shoot Joey (Screenname: CSIPSD) a PM if you have questions etc as he is the resident expert on them and I can not tell you how helpful he had been to me as I get my IIsso Pro Performax gauges and system all setup. Otherwise autometer and you will have to check with which vendor has what you want and who you go with.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
