Did you fix it yet? The axle splines are pretty tough and don't normally strip. They may look like it because they aren't cut very deep to begin with. The hub splines are designed as a softer metal so they will give first. 95% of the time a new hub will fix it but I have had to weld a few as a...

I just picked up a speedaire 5f563 that was no longer being used at our office:D. I have seen mechanics shops use PVC piping ran along the walls with "T"'s and fittings spaced here and there. Is this safe? What amount of pressure is PVC able to safely handle? My plan is to run a 1" feed to my...

You buy a cummins, they throw the truck in for free! ....and you get what you pay for!

:postho..... Okay so what filter head do I need for the cat filters? I am assuming that I can get that at the cat dealer also? We have holiday traffic in Lafayette now and not having a loop makes it damn near impossible to get anywhere within a reasonable time so this project will have to...

Yes Pep..I did state I had pump(s):D. In my sig also. I have connections;) So now I get to re configure my setup...Joy:rolleyes5: Okay, so... 2 micron, tall napa filter with one lift pump feeding it and one pulling from it. I have to do something....I am running out of the older metal fuel...

Thanks Grady.....so what's the consensus? 10 micron or 2? Should I install the filter before or after my lift pumps? I am assuming before. Going pick up the parts today.

The fluid was replaced at 200K so it has 35K on it and looks good, bright red. IIRC the fluid was always serviced at 50K intervals on this truck and the oil every 5-7K. I am going to drop the pan and do some digging. I tried asking questions on some of the ford forums but all I get is "it needs...

Well it's alive but I have another problem! It was the plug under the valve cover. I checked the connector and found no corrosion so I used two small ty-wraps under each fork and zip tied it together. I put it all back together, tightened all of the clamps on the boots, and gave it a good...

Sparky where did 'ya go? Ya got Mike's attention....you normally have to pay for this kind of interaction...like phone sex for your "tranny":rof:

Pep, I took care of all that before I even tried to crank it. The fuel filter was nasty. It now has fresh fuel, oil is topped off, new filter, batteries, air filter, HPOP is full,....all of the general maintenance items. I am learning a lot and let's just say that I am glad I chose a Dmax...

You need to verify the fluid level first. Idling in park ain't gonna do it. It needs to be at operating temperature and cycled through R and D. If it is overfilled it will aerate the fluid( I was told it would foam). It is best to run it on the lower half of the hot marks. I know that if mine is...

We were getting rid of some of the older fleet trucks here at work and my old service truck came up for bid. Well...since it would not start(it sat up for 9 months) no one bid on it. Instead of seeing my old reliable unit go to the auction I gave $500 for her. I removed the fuel filter and know...

That's a heck of a step up there Paul...nice! Can't wait to check it out. Maybe in another year I will be able to upgrade mine. Right now...I am experiencing the headache of trying to purchase 2-3 acres of land, or land/home....what a bunch of crap to go through. I have yet to find the time...

Looking at buying a clean, low hours, well taken care of 2006 BF 750i from a friend. He wants a side by side. I have always owned hondas and have been out of the ATV loop for a few years. Anything to look for/avoid with this model atv? It was meticulously maintained and only used to get to and...

I had an older style filter that I had removed with only 1K miles on it to replace with a new one for a trip to the track in a zip loc on the shelf so I figured WTH and replaced the plastic one with this one just to test it and I can not make it code. 137 on 35" mud grips gets a lil squirrly but...

I took one apart using a broomstick to pop it open. The filter media is not big at all. I was surprised to see how small the actual filter really is. ( I have nothing to compare it to I never cut open the older style) I had one plug up within 2K miles, I attributed that to possibly bad fuel. I...

Anyone seeing a difference in the new filters over the old. I seem to be throwing a low fuel rail pressure code often since I started using these. Is it the new filter or should I start looking elsewhere. I guess I should start by upgrading my relief valve first.

I just got my manual back again so anyone who needs to borrow it for a rebuild is welcome to it. Just ask. The only catch is that you have to promise to keep it clean and send it back when done so someone else can borrow it.

I finally got around to rerouting my PVC. Wish I would have done it when I did the EGR blocker under 20K miles, damn that is nasty:eek:! Sooo....I want to take out my intercooler and clean it. Besides just removing it and using a couple gallons of degreaser to soak and flush it anybody have any...

The 1057 is still listed on the website..WTH? last year when I did mine I was told it was no longer available:mad:. I think I ended up with the 1056 also and Joe is right, there is no comparison to a truck with the 1057. I would give Mike a call and go with his suggestion... what ever it...
