    Yeah i haven't got on it yet i figured id wait a couple thousand miles to pull anything or to hammer down... I was wondering some of the possible weaknesses of sitting so long?

    trying to drive with the parking brake on....

    yeah i feel pretty stupid but the other day i set the brake and when i came back out i just hopped in tried to go... i figured i wasn't moving due to the snow piled up in front of my front tires when i stopped so i dug the snow out and managed to pull out but it felt really weird that's when i...

    locker? need info please....

    almost sounds cheaper to put a used limited slip? like a stock from a newer model.... that sounds pretty expensive and you can probably get a whole used one for cheaper.... cause i don't even think mine is limited slip

    locker? need info please....

    so we had some snow and i noticed even with weight in the bed (about 500lbs) it helped a lot but i figure i need a locker.... i have the 10.25 rearend with 3.55 gears and one tire only spins.... how much is a locker? do they lock up in forward and reverse? and how hard is it to do? I've shimmed...

    brake booster diaphram?

    yeah i thought the shsh sound was normal but one day stuck at a stoplight i realized it was still doing it with the brake held down... so i while idling i cupped my hand around the push rod on the pedal going through firewall and it was hissing so I'd try that and if it is pulling then then...

    brake booster diaphram?

    so i been noticing a hissing sound when i push on the brakes and figured it was only leaking when pushing the brakes... i cupped my hand around the push-rod and noticed it sucking air while idling.... this could explain why Im not getting the mileage i would expect... my question is that is...

    91 F-250 5.8L Throttle issue

    mine used to do the same exact thing and i replaced the tps (throttle position sensor) and to change it you have to remove the throttle body so while you got it off give it a good cleaning paying close attention to vacuum ports cause they are so small the plug up easy... I'd almost bet that fix...

    interior/cargo lights staying on??

    and i completely unhooked my remote start/ keyless entry too to no avail even tho i didn't have it even hooked up to my dome light circuit.... when i got the truck the cargo lights were removed and interior lights unhooked.... i figured they did it because the door switches were bad... i...

    interior/cargo lights staying on??

    huge shot in the dark here but think a speed sensor could cause this or something electrical on my tranny? cause when i unhook the interior light fuse my mileage goes blank overdrive light flashes and speedo stops working.... so they are obviously on the same circuit.... i just can't keep...
