    AC System replacement

    Hi guys, I am replacing the ac compressor, condensor, dryer, evaporator, and all Orings lines and hoses on my 96 F250. After I do this I plan on driving it to my mechanic to have him charge the system properly. My question is: will it damage the compressor or any of the new components if I...

    Best brand of Motor mounts for obs 7.3

    Thanks! It looks like that vintage parts place mentioned in the other thread has them. Do you know if there is a better than original alternative though? I was hopimg there might be a beefier option that would hold up even longer.

    6.0 power steering pump upgrade

    Ok I just checked my records. They charged me $50/hr and 117.87 per piece of steel. I had them make 2 pulleys so total cost for me was $485.74. Now that's with them charging 4&1/2 hrs of labor (2&1/4 hrs per pulley), but it actually took a little longer than that. Therefore it may be a little...

    Battery light

    Didn't even think of that. If it comes back on I'll try tightening it up. Thanks guys for all your help!

    Battery light

    It doesn't appear to be damaged but obviously I haven't pulled the whole wiring harness and inspected it end to end. That said, I had tried wiggling that 3 plug connector to no effect previously. But I just tried unplugging it and plugging it back in (with engine off of course) and now the...

    Battery light

    Damn...ok. The one I got was a high output alt. Like 230 amp instead of 110 or whatever the stock was. Cost me an extra 150 or 200 bucks but I figured it would last me awhile...

    Hi I'm Josh, new here and my 7.3 is my first diesel.

    Thanks man! Yeah I think this was a grandpa truck before I got it. It was very clean and had clearly been well taken care of for having over 300k on it. I've been pretty dilligent about the maintenance and am doing my best to baby it.

    Battery light

    Ok, thanks. Is it possible that there is a short to ground somwhere causing the regulator to go bad? Or is that even possible? Just wondering if there's something else causing the regulator to go bad or if it's just a dud.

    Battery light

    See that's what I thought too but that's why I replaced tje alternator the first time. This new alt isn't even 6 months old. Is there anything else it could be?

    Battery light

    Are you asking if I've connected any wires to the wire that goes between the battery light and the alternator? If so, the answer is no. However, I have put in a dixie horn and 3 pairs of different kc lights, but I made a custom fuse panel for all that. It all goes to ground on it's own and the...

    Battery light

    I checked it at idle with everything off and it was fluctuating between 14.7 and 15. Didn't check with everything on. The battery light was flashing with the old alternator though too...

    Battery light

    Do you mean the brake lights on the rear of the truck? Or the parking brake and abs lights on the dash?

    Hi I'm Josh, new here and my 7.3 is my first diesel.

    Thanks guys! Well my truck is a 96, 4x4 crew cab. I bought it with over 300k miles on it haha. It was very clean though, I searched for over a year to find one in this condition. It was basically stock when I got it, only thing the previous owner had done was ranch hand bumpers front and rear. I...

    Hi I'm Josh, new here and my 7.3 is my first diesel.

    How's it going guys? I'm doing this a little bit backwards as I've already made a few posts but I figured I'd introduce myself here as I'm still fairly new. I bought my first diesel June of 2017, it's a 96 7.3 and I love this thing more than I could love a human child. Haha. Jk. Mostly. I like...

    Battery light

    Hey guys, so the battery light on my dash is flashing when I have my accessories turned OFF. I can't seem to figure out why. My alternator and batteries are both new and it's still doing it. If I turn my headlights on, or my ac AND radio, or my KC lights, it stops flashing though. I'm stumped...

    Upgraded Power Steering Pump Installed

    Finished Here's a few pics of my finished swap. I don't have hydroboost so I welded a custom bracket for the resevoir and mounted it next to the ac compressor. My local Napa store was set up to custom crimp hoses so I just ordered a new hose and had them cut the end off and re connect it at the...
