    Fuel pump relay HELP!

    Friday my truck quit, as if it had run out of gas. It had been stalling randomly for a couple of weeks. My diagnosis was the fuel pump relay. Evidently I was right. It's cooked literally. It's not serviceable and a replacement CJB costs over $500 and has to be ordered. I don’t have the time or...

    Sudden oil leak

    I posted this in the Modular forum yesterday. I hope you don't mind that I post it here as well.It doesn't seem possible that an oil leak this serious can start so suddenly. Shortly after my truck turned over 300,000 miles I noticed a slight oil burning smell at startup. In almost no time it's...

    Sudden oil leak

    It doesn't seem possible that an oil leak this serious can start so suddenly. Shortly after my truck turned over 300,000 miles I noticed a slight oil burning smell at startup. In almost no time it's progressed to the point where my undercarriage is covered in oil and I leave a cloud of smoke...

    Need help with my son's truck please.

    My 17 year old son drives a '96 f150 with a 300ci inline six. Evidently, it developed a pin hole in one of the steel pipes that the heater hoses are connected to and pumped out most of the coolant. My son was oblivious to this until it cut off in a plume of steam. I was hoping against hope...

    Again !!

    My 03 5.4 Super Duty goes through ignition coils like crazy. It has about 170,000 miles on it and I've replaced at least 5 coils. I'm thinking of replacing the whole set with MSD or Accel, and installing them with dilectric gel on the boots to keep out contaminants which aren't doing the coils...

    Red Is Back !!!!

    It's been at least four months, but I got my truck back yesterday! She gave my mechanic some gray hairs but he and his guys did an outstanding job and Big Red runs sweet. I spent the afternoon cleaning her up and today I'm waiting for the temp outside to drop below 90 degrees so I can wax her...

    Update

    Just an update on the fate of my truck ( Big Red ). I came into some money, I found a reputable mechanic, and she's in the shop. This will be expensive! But, there's nothing I'd rather spend my money on. Today I stumbled upon a screaming deal on a used Century Royal cap. Does anyone have a pic...
