    Jumbo - 97 F350 Project Truck

    Volvo parts make me nervous. They actually had problems with slave/master cylinders some years back as I recall, seems like I towed several that the clutch wouldn't release. Make sure you didn't get one of those somehow, and might make sure replacements are available before you make it fit. I'm...

    Jumbo - 97 F350 Project Truck

    Charlie made a good suggestion there, or you could take a page out of KW's book and use a solid shaft with pillow block bearings. I'll get pics if you want for ideas, I think I have one here with the dash out you can see.How about hydraulic assist? I'd think the power steering pump would...

    Low Oil Pressure?

    Definitely on the same page as Charlie. Good luck, let us know what you find in there!Also possible the pickup tube or the pump came loose, but I kinda doubt it. Worth considering though. Look at the gaskets good when it comes apart.Sent from my E6810 using Tapatalk

    Low Oil Pressure?

    Ok, sudden low pressure after sitting. We'll go with that for now. While that doesn't rule out anything previously mentioned to you, here's my thoughts.Spun bearing, which is usually accompanied by bottom end noise, you'll see lots of metal in the pan when you drain the oil. ( I doubt this is...

    Low Oil Pressure?

    How did your problem start? Gradually over time? Or you suddenly didn't have good oil pressure?Sent from my E6810 using Tapatalk

    ALRIGHT!!! WHICH ONE OF YOU TURNED ALL MY NOTIFICATIONS OFF?!?!?Ha! Found you CJ. All this time I thought you were tired of starting new threads. Nice job, both on the truck and thread. I'm excited to see how your new temp monitor preforms, and where you stashed it in the truck.Air assist...

    Where the OBD 1 test port is under the hood there is a grey single wire female spade connector, if you power it it powers the pump, used for a pressure test, on the trucks anyway, we'll see what Dustybumpers says.....Sent from my E6810 using Tapatalk

    Does it have the single wire for the pump test in the plastic protector as the trucks? Same low pressure tank pump/high pressure pump in the frame?Sent from my E6810 using Tapatalk

    Well I'm sad to hear it didn't work out. But that's smart on your part recognizing it's something you don't want to mess with, I commend you for that.Just thinking out loud here, I wonder if the cars have the same fuel pump test plug under the hood. Never messed with a car with efi of that...

    What did you work on today

    I guess August is brake month! Lol Every one of those crown vics I ever encountered had a spongy feeling brake. Odd sensation.Looking good Charlie. Guess you could paint the cab and leave the rest.......Sent from my E6810 using Tapatalk

    Definitely an advantage. The difference is the alcohol in the gas. Alcohol, or ethanol rather, fuel eats a tank up quick. That car was parked about 12 years ago with gas from Albuquerque.I've got trucks in the yard that were parked for 30 years, and are clean enough to pour gas in and drive...

    It can be a challenge to get it down the neck, I walked out and got these so you can see what it will do.Sent from my E6810 using Tapatalk FYI, that's the tank and fill neck in the 82, parked 12 or so years ago.

    Sure, here's what I got if the link works. If not the pic shows what to type in the search bar. Went up to 20 bucks. This one is for Android, there are others for iPhone. I used the OTG view free app.https://www.amazon.com/Seesi-Endoscope-Waterproof-Inspection-Semi-Rigid/dp/B07PBF6DX5Been...
