    ABS light on, brake problems

    Have not checked for a code yet. I will do that this weekend and post what I find. I dont think it is a sensor. That would be too easy. Sometimes the light will go out. It makes a noise when it does. Much like the noise the transfer case makes when going into low. With the light off if you...

    Thanks for the reply. Yes I did check my brake fluid level. All good there.Brake job about 6 months ago. I had replaced all rotors and pads. Brakes were smooth and in good working order.

    ABS light on, brake problems

    ABS light stays on after panic stop with trailer. 70 MPH to 0 as fast as you can. I need some service advice about the ABS system in my 2000 f250. During the stop the light came on and has stayed on. I had major brake fade during the stop. Rotors are now warped , it shutters under breaking...

    What have you done to your 351M/400

    A cam that big I would just go ahead and run a solid roller with screw in studs and a stud girdle. might as well make some lifter noise with all that lumpy bumpy fun going on. Plus you could spend more money on parts / Thus delaying your build even longer. More excuses, you know like normal...

    400 Heads...newbie question

    Another vote for the aussi 2 v heads. I run a set in my 68 bronco. I have lots of good torque down low and no problems up to 5K. The aussie head has a better exhaust port than all the other 2v heads. They work good on the 400. The W was mentioned and something about better flow out of w...

    6.2 gas???

    A buddy and I pulled a 66 bronco from atlanta to arkansas with his new 6.2 gas dually. Truck performed fine, I was uncomfortable with the 6K sustained hill climbs. The motor with the 6 speed auto worked good except the auto was forever hunting for the gear it wanted to be in. I have a 2000...

    Running good now. Ford re flashed the computer and installed a new Map sensor, did something with the plug to the glow plug circuit and changed a fuse? Never ran better? I dont get it but who cares.

    check gauges?

    I pulled the actuator and cleaned it, still no changes , but I do now have a check engine light on.
  18. Bax

    check gauges?

    OK thanks for all the information. I guess it is time to throw in the towel and go see the dealer. Either that or pull the actuator and clean it.

    check gauges?

    Well the unison ring is all clean and working smoothly. However I have little boost. All I can get is about 5 pounds max. it is a little better than before but something is still not correct. I am getting good at R&R with the turbo.

    UH VGT ? IDS? Thanks for the help but you may need to dumb it down a little for me.

    check gauges?

    Pulled the turbo to get to the egr to replace the clamp. I put a new clamp on and pulled it up tight. It looks like a great fit. Put it all back together. Paid close attention to the other clamps and they look good. Start up and the exhaust noise is gone. Road test= DOG the truck runs...

    check gauges?

    found an exhaust leak on the egr / exhaust connection. it looks like part of the clamp has pulled thru the clamp? the clamp is breaking. and super hard to get too. We will see how this goes.
  24. Bax

    check gauges?

    I do hear a hiss. The egr has a steel gasket with no sealer, then the clamp. Would a leak here cause the turbo not to spin? Is sealer needed for the egr connection? I thought the hiss was the exhaust / air pushing thru the stalled turbo.

    check gauges?

    The back og the turbo has a new clamp on it and it is pulled up real good. I feel good about that one. The one entering from the passenger side is the one that had all the copper silicone on it? I cleaned it all off before I put it together. perhaps I should pull that clamp off and re do it...

    check gauges?

    OK all is fixed. I replaced the exhaust band clamp I broke, I installed a new oil sender and wire connector. Start the truck and no more check gauge warning. Thats good but the truck still sounds like it has an exhaust leak. So road test. Truck is a total dog, no boost, I dont think the...

    Man this is starting to suck. Thanks for the info.
  29. Bax

    check gauges?

    Well I guess the oil sender is bad because the electrical part can spin 360 degrees. The center of it is loose. Wo I will get one of those and install it.Next I had an exhaust leak by the turbo so I figured I could tighten up the clamps a little and perhaps fix it. NOPE I busted a clamp...

    check gauges?

    It stays at zero. I had to order the plug so I will get it tomorrow and pay attention to the gauge. The long cranking has got me worried now. What is with that. It just got a new oil pump.
