Just fixed it, kinked fuel line. I guess the hassel of feeding the filler tube over the frame and back to the neck I forgot to watch the fuel lines. I dropped the tank and pulled the lines and was sprayed with gas, so I new gas was goin thru. So I started to follow the lines found nothing...

So when you turn the key to the on position without starting, the sound you hear from the fuel pump getting primed is the sound I hear. I start the truck using the front tank, after it's idling I switch to the rear tank and it's a constant sound of the fuel pump priming and the truck dies cause...

So where is this switching mechanism located I've searched for parts and nothing is coming up.

Can it be the switching mechanism even though the truck runs when I have the switch on the front tank. Once I switch it to the rear tank it reads what's in the rear tank at a 1/4 tank and just dies. When the switch is on the front tank it reads a full tank and stays running perfectly fine.

Are you willing to buy a new tranny. I had a similar issue but would do it after 40. Rebuilt the tranny to a heavy duty 4r100 version with nothing being fixed. Luckily the guy had a reputation and gave me a 2 year warranty. Took him almost 6 months to get it goin normally again. Last thing he...

I just replaced my rear fuel tank, brand new tank and pump. I know the fuel lines were a pain to get off even using the correct tool( trucks almost 30 years old). When I put in the new tank I was unable to get the fuel lines to snap on. So after an hour or more of trying and trying (even tried...

I think Im going to try and fabricate some, with some 1/8 think metal straps and some machine screws and nuts. I have an idea in my head let's see if I thought it all out to make it work.

I went and looked at it today and unless I pull the pump it won't work they are in line of each other, or a dummy pulley might work. The engine is the 460, a different layout than the smaller engines.

Does anybody know what the silver piece of metal that attaches to the tail gate is called. Usually has a red or black stripe through it with Ford to one side. This thing has been bugging me for years with the rattle on dirt roads, the black plastic brackets are broken and don't hold it tight...

My cats are long gone. So my chances are is that some of those tubes are just dangling anyways. Also if I bypass the pulley do you know what size of belt. I'm not interested in power gain just less stuff in the way when working in the bay.

I'm interested on clearing up some of my engine bay. I've seen threads on bypassing the smog pump and pulling out some of the tubes and hoses. I'm fortunate enough not to have to worry about emissions tests. Is their any benefit to keeping it or removing it. Thanks for the info

So a quick update, so finally found a trustworthy transmission shop. Left it for a day so they can run a few tests on it and the conclusion is transmission is on the verge of breakdown. I've been driving it the past week or so as much as I can since I have most of the money available, and its on...

I've been limiting the amount I drive the truck to about one trip a week in hopes of at least making it to the rebuild. Today I drove the truck for over an hour up and down the highway up to 70 mph and down to 45 and nothing happened, so I'm guessing it has to be heat related since all summer...
