Ok, I disconnected the vacuum line and removed the wastegate controller. I fabbed up a bracket and spring and set it for 12psi...seems to be better. I have to haul a 6000lb load down to Tacoma next week...will know for sure after that if it's any better. I run on the I-5 at 70mph alot and I...
My brother bought it. It seems to be ok, it is a high miler but in good shape. Cewcab shortbox is relatively rare in that vintage...the SFA seems to be a good conversion.
Been down in Albuquerque the last week:
Injectors have about 60,000km's on them
Pump has been changed 4 times by dealer before I bought it.
I have not had timing checked.
Has a new air filter no obstruction.
Hey ed, Stave Lake hill in Mission From 7th avenue up to the municipal hall...
My Burb get's high egt's 1100-1200 just by climbing the hill to my house with me on the throttle a bit. Egt probe is in drivers side exhaust manifold. Thought for the longest time the crossover may be the problem, but I swapped it out this past weekend for a mandrel bent one. The existing one...
Yes your right it is an E4OD...maybe it's a re-badged F-350 as I don't think ford made a crew cab 4x4 F-250 in '96...Still looking for a checklist. Here's a pic. Nice looking truck?
I had to replace the serp belt on my Cummins dodge a month or so ago. What a biotch...had to loosen the tensioner to slip the belt behind it. I expected to do the belt on the side of the highway should need arise. I am glad I did it in the garage. I luv my Burb...
Does anyone know where to get a pre buy checklist for a Ford? I searched the Ford section here but none... It is an AOD 4x4 solid front axle..F250 srw crewcab. Possibly had front SAS at some point or did they come stock? (for my brother)
Dallas is good people.
Removed the muffler and the inside lining has a crack in the weld...also installed the new crossover at same time...new muffler has glass inside. A very difficult rattle to find. Good now!
An update:
Called Warpseed and talked to Dallas about my muffler. He said he would see what he could do. Muffler had been on truck over a year. Got a call last week from his shipping department and they are sending a new muffler free of charge! I also ordered the crossover thinking they would...
About 19 average on the interstate and about 16 in town gears are 3:73. 4" exhaust no cat helped about 2-3 mpg, I have the crossover to change this weekend. (all US gallon as I only fill up down here)
In the past I have had stuck drums. Not on this Suburban though. Removed rear wheels, put a rag soaked in WD-40 or your loosener of choice around the hub and went in the house for a few beers...Came back out after a few hours (overnight is good) removed rag and whacked drum carefully with a...
1999 Suburban k2500. Does it have a load sensing proportioning valve? I have 1300lbs or so of ironer parts in the back and the brakes work much better. I know on my toyota I used to bend the linkage to give the back brakes a little more grab. I don't remember seeing a load sensing valve on these...
