Almost ready to do the drums and exhaust. Gonna be my first weld job (doing flux weld). It's just for exhaust hangars. Rebuilding cat back to twin tail pipes per oem, walker stuff.The 4x4 is definitely broke, so I bought a 4x4 switch. Anyone know where that goes? I took a look at the...
Hey Sparky-Yeah, now I know about the 4H to 4L. I was trying it in neutral and then couldn't get it to go into gear (at a stop) so I put it in reverse, not moving, and then tried to go to 4L and heard some gears grinding so I stopped that immediately and again just tried to catch a gear in...
Hey folks-I am new to 4x4. I may have broken mine on the F-350 and want to get some feedback. Have to pull codes so I'll get info too and add that later.I did not know about locking hubs, so I have driven 4x4 about 20 miles without locking hubs.Beyond that, I had problems getting into...
Ok!I'll pull codes again tomorrow when I'm replacing my upper radiator on the f150. Got my code reader in it and the f350 n it will be colocated then, so I can pull some codes.Pretty sure it had some 1-2 EGR codes along with a cylinder 8 code. I'm 90% certain (can heat gun it) that the cat...
Ordering a new Bezel for the Instrument Cluster and probably putting my old fuel selector switch in -- the one the shop warrantied still is a little finnicky -- maybe just a bad supplier/manufacturer.So it has that Check Engine Light still, which last time I ran diagnostics said Cylinder 8 was...
I've repaired and modified and rebuilt my F-150's a few times, pretty familiar on that. That's good to know that they should fit, yeah regular box. And it's getting stuck on the F-150 too so it's about time to lube up all those latches you mentioned. Same with the doors latch and pins. Guess...
Got the F-350 Trusty Rusty in my possession, running better. Cannot keep running the F-150. I'm getting 1.5 miles for every $1 of gas in it. The F-350 gets 3x better mileage.So, I'm looking for a tailgate. The F-350 doesn't have one. It does have strong-enough mounting points! I need to...
When I was younger I remember installing a car stereo in my 85 Chevy Celebrity with the battery connected, fuse installed to radio, etc. I blew fuses and made the radio work but sound like crap since I damaged it probably during install with power on.In order to get the radio back I would...
This story was a lot crazier but I was exhausted. It definitely was a bit of an "Adventures with Bill" moment from The Red Green Show.Highlight though:Kieth was my friend showing up in his rebuilt Chevy plow truck.The funny thing was he came to rescue/help my F-700 and pulled up behind...
Hi all-I just spent a great 11 hours broken down in the F-700 but avoided tow. Was going to my friend's place to install new 90a Alternator on the truck and pulled into Fast Trac to get gas. Well, it didn't start up after I filled up the tank. Niiiiice.Friend came to me, we pulled the...
Found Dome lights for 1997 F-350 is 561, so got some Amazon 561 LEDs on the way.Also replacing the instrument switch -- it's broken. Standard Motor $13 part on Amazon currently.
So, i-81 upstate NY had a major accident at the same time I grabbed my F-700 and was headed to the gas station from Van Tassel's last night after they were looking her over for a brake issue suspect (nothing conclusive, gonna drive it and see what happens).It hasn't been driven much in the...
Nice. Thank-you!I ordered some from Amazon (not these OEM though). When they show up if they don't look like they're gonna cut it, I'll send'm back and order these Ford ones off ebay.So far my swedge tension on the filter holder is keeping it taught when I repositioned it; but yeah, if...
