    F-250 4x4 on 44's steering pump issues

    A Saginaw pump will work better but it won't be the answer. With those tires hydro assist is the way to go. Check the frame over real good around the steering box there may be cracks, hydro assist will relieve most of the stress in that area.

    Battery draw...

    You need to put a multi meter on it to know for sure if it has a draw on it, just because it won't light a test light means nothing.

    newbie needs help

    By all means, now is the time to get that fuel tank out from behind you in the cab. That has to be the most dangerous tank set up in the history of vehicles. The Chevy's may blow up but at least they were outside. Find a junk yard tank that will fit inbetween the frame rails.

    neautral safty switch harness

    The plugin you are looking for is right behind the passengers side valve cover on the firewall comming out of the harness. You can just jump it across right there.

    Noobie cam and intake swap...

    You have to take the heads completely apart to do any port work. I would also get new valve spring retainers & keepers. Isky Rev Lube is the best cam paste made.

    The stock deep sump pan is adequate for most any use of a C6.

    79 f250 "build"

    Just curious what one like the one in the picture would sell for ?

    351M, 400 piston options

    Detonation is more caused by the pistons being too far below the decks surface.

    F250 460 engine swap

    The small 351m-400 radiator would not cool my 460. I had to buy a Super Cooler for it.

    compression change

    You will be better off with your stock heads. With those dished pistons that are likely a lot more than .030 in the hole, you will just be chacing your tail around with detonation.

    4bbl... better milage?

    "Holleys generlly suck for off road" That is complete malicious BS.

    A good starter?

    I'm thinking the next time mine goes bad I might try one of the later model gear reduction 460 starters. I have outboard headers so heat and fitment won't be a problem. Has anyone tried one ? If so how do you like it ?

    Ebay purchase arrived today

    Dennis, can you post a better picture of the organizer behind the seat ? I've never seen one of those. My truck had air horns way back but they were under the hood, If/when I run into the original owner I will ask him if they are original or if he put them in but as I remember they looked just...

    A good starter?

    Get your next one from Auto Zone they are lifetime warrenty. No ? asked and you don't need to keep the reciept. They have it in their computer.

    flares

    The rods are the same. You need the crank & pistons.

    Whats wrong with it ?

    Quick rear-end question

    Make sure your axle's vent tube isn't plugged up with dirt or something. If it is your axle will be springing leaks everywhere there is a seal/gasket.

    New truck: 79 1Ton 4x4

    Any '77.5-'79 f-250 or f-350 4x4 truck could have the sway bars, it doesn't have to be a Camper Special or Trailer Special.

    Rear Pinion Seal Dana 60

    There are 2 different designs I've come across, most are like the one you are holding. Make sure you don't have any play in the pinion, in, out, up, and down. Check your vent tube, make sure it isn't plugged up.

    where to buy? rear sway bar end links F250??

    I have a set but they would need a new set of bushings.

    pretty good deal on a 400....

    The only place that will pay any money for a 351m-400 in my area is the local scrap yard, and it's by the pound. There is no way a similar built 400 would run with a 460. Just look at the size of the 460 piston. The 400 may keep up with a lot of mods & $ but as it's trying twice as hard and...

    Lighted Visors!

    I know where he can put them for that price. What a crook.

    steering wheels

    There are some others out there that will go on but with most of them the turn signal canceler will work.

    C6 removal

    As far as I'm concerned it's much easier to deal with the fluid before removing the trans.

    Dual Battery

    I just run a pair of 24F's no isolator, works just fine for the 9500#winch and aux lights.

    Over my head

    You will need to check the new springs installed height. You may need to shim them. In extreme cases you might need to get the heads machined for spring seat cups to get them in at the right height.

    My cam kit is here...

    Without checking for push rod length during assembly, ordering a set nothing more than taking a shot in the dark.
