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

    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

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...

    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??

    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...

    interior/cargo lights staying on??

    i have New door switches Im thinking headlight switch is bad because if you move it just right the dash lights go completely out... I'll replace the headlight switch and see what happens.

    High Octane Gas?

    Would there be any benefits to running high Octane Gas and Octane booster if I was to advance the timing just a degree or two? Or however it works retard it a little? Would you see any gains in power or mileage?
