    Backup camera again

    So the factory camera on my 2014 is acting up again. this will be the 3rd one. I suppose the tailgate gets slammed 100 times a year considering that it is probably holding up well. Thinking about trying this one on ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/314172483472 As opposed to another Ford one...

    Extended cranking, fuel system tests.

    Found it, Any variance greater than 0.1gr (grain) or 6.4 mg. Depending on what scan tool you are using. Based off of that my injectors look fantastic. No idea where to go next. I am on the fence of throwing 8 injectors in it, or just leaving it. I know there is a problem. Extended...

    Extended cranking, fuel system tests.

    Iowa. I read somewhere that variance could not be more than .6mg or 6mg. I can't find the article now. Also read there should be 45 psi back pressure in fuel return but not sure how that could affect my flow test to zero

    Extended cranking, fuel system tests.

    Ok finally started this project. Good news and more questions. First the obligatory cp4 check. All is well. I am disappointed in laptop and forscan. I can't do more that what I could with Bluetooth and phone. At least as far as troubleshooting information I need for this project. Expected to...

    Brand new moog ball joint rotates inside knuckle

    wow, I haven't seen that on any of these trucks. Are you doing one side or 2? I would grab the other lower ball joint and check fit, compare size. Probably even run to the store with a mic or dial caliper and get another new one out of the box. Compare it to the old one. hate to know how...

    TC tail shaft installation

    I usually use the "right stuff" Black in the cheeze wiz can. That should be a low pressure area so shouldn't take much to seal it.

    Death wobble, my turn!

    Your best bet at finding something loose is to leave it on the ground. Engine off. Have someone sit in the driver's seat and turn the steering wheel back and for 1/8-1/4 turn fairly rapidly. Crawl underneath the front end and look at everything. Tie rods, drag ling. Pitman arm. track bar...

    Death wobble, my turn!

    Does it have a lift on it? Adding any kind of lift can certainly screw up alignment, mostly caster specs. And does it have a steering stabilizer on it? adding one is a good safety measure. Whether it be a steering stabilizer or shocks, the more you work them, the hotter they get, the less...

    Correct Coolant

    Detroit/Mercedes does as well as the Cummins ISX and it is approved for those. As well as the Paccar MX, and IH Maxforce. I think ford spec has something to do with biodegradable level, or "organic" coolant. Really not sure.

    Correct Coolant

    I am kind of thinking that. Right now I am more worried about how much I have mixed. I have a coolant leak, the crossover pipe towards the front of the engine. In comparison, 187k and my turbo coolant line doesn't leak. Wonder if that has something to do with the coolant choices.

    Correct Coolant

    What a confusing mess trying to find the correct coolant. Attached are the bulletins showing compatibility on new vs old antifreeze from ford. You can mix no problem. Also attached is the spec requirements for 6.7 coolant. Which is WSS-M97B44 d or d2(which just means diluted or concentrated)...

    6.7 extremely long crank

    Just wanted to say thank you for posting. I am finally going to dive into this in the next week or two and re reading everything, you answered every question I had so far without me having to ask.

    7.3 no start

    I just checked, looks like this drum is actually 5w-40 Citgard 1000 full synthetic. The 0w-40 drum I had ordered when I still had my 6.0. Once I gave up on that truck I only had the 7.3 so that drum lasted me a bunch of years. Not fair comparison. I work for an oil distributor. When the drum...

    7.3 no start

    I am in this camp. I run a 0W-40 full synthetic I think it is citgo. Can't remember. Not ever had any issues. Run it in all my diesels, 6.7 and 7.3 have a ton of miles on it. Back in the 90s. The company I work for, we were using sunoco. Pretty cheap "crappy" oil at the time. Our sales cars...

    Truck cover recommendations?

    gotta say I have had great luck with the cheap "20 layer" ones off ebay. Usually pitch them every year or two. They let moisture through, if that is a problem. But used one outside for 5-6 years. Never hurt the paint. Usually the seems start coming apart. I don't know what they are now...

    Transfer case slip yoke slop

    That rubber piece, I think is an oil slinger. Keeps the yoke from filling with oil and leaking out. Yes, that is a BW1356 transfercase. I had the same trouble, Think I ended up ordering online to get the proper bushing.

    Transfer case slip yoke slop

    I ran a gear vendor for a bunch of years. Seems like every year I was putting a bushing in until I had a shaft made to the proper length. The bushing is important and will hopefully tighten it up a while. Might be worth a shot. If it seems to cure your problems for a short time maybe then look...

    Transfer case slip yoke slop

    I would probably just go into a local driveline shop. If they don't have it on the shelf I am sure they can get it quickly. Fought something similar, the bushing in the tail housing is replaceable. But the bushing can be hard to find. When the truck is on the ground the Driveshaft is...

    Is my trans shot?

    Yes it can have codes without a light showing. Also, fluid condition? Have you changed it or flushed it lately? The wire harness runs very close to the exhaust on the RR of the trans. Would check those things first.

    Death wobble while braking: my 2016 F250 is getting loose. When hard braking at 65 mph .

    Usually if it only happens during braking it is warped rotors.
