    Ford Engine swap

    Tell your friends to invest in a good chip and couple upgrades!

I can honestly say that I have done...

    Hello to all the available knowledge out there! First off thank you for reading my post. To the business at hand, I came into a Long disc that I helped a friend dig out of a berm of sand. The thing is red and says LONG in white on the front of the frame and the "wiper" mounting bars are also...

    What raked that stuff For Gordo SD

    In reply to Stumpy, I would kill to find those kind of deals out here in the desert! Currently none of the custom cutters around here will put up any of my new Alfalfa field because they have been told that it has rocks! Unfortunately for them, no rocks here. Now I am working on keeping my...

    Parts prices

    Just put a new transmission in my 96 F-150 and had the same issues! Instead though, the parts stores couldn"t get anything for my particular transmission. The dealership had it all and for really really inexpensive prices!

    99 F-250 No turbo action?

    Dude! You may have nailed it. Book test said fan clutch ok, but I replaced it anyway. Was the only external part left to change. Refilled with top hose disconnected to bleed air. Worked so much better than at thermostat. I now understand the bleed hole in the Tstat. Drove it and had cab heat...

    1997 Ford F250 5 speed manual transmission

    Hey, had the same problem with mine and figured for sure it was the clutch or tranny! Ended up being the adjustment in the clutch pedal to transmission shifter rod! Seriously check it out! The darn thing is held on by one nut and press fit with splines onto the clutch rod. You should really...

    Help! 99 F-250 7.3 Overheating!!!

    Have been using Prestone anti or 50/50 mix. Depends on which is cheaper. I feel stupid, but you guys talk about anticavitation treatment. No one here seems to know anything about it. They all want to sell me something, but all it says is cooling system treatment/anticorrosion/pump lube. Can you...
