Hey guys. Long time no post.I got a 77 LTD II (i know not a truck) with a 351w that is...iffy. Its sat for many years after it jumped time.Anyways..Im curious...if i bought a junkyard 351w from a later model F series (an EFI version) could i just swap the distributor, intake, manifolds...
Its possible if you have paitence. Wireing will be the biggest issue but you maybe able to do it if you use the harness and ECM from the 460. Youll also need to fab motor mounts and use the 460's tranny.The 460 is about the same as that year 5.4L for HP but the 460 has a tremendous torque...
Hey guys, long time no post but anyways...I got a 97 F250 with the 460 (7.5L) and i have a bad exhaust leak at the drivers side manifold. My mechanic knows he can change it but is worried about destroying the A.I.R/EGR pipes in the process...I know the EGR pipe is easy to come by but the...
Good info!Ok, i did fix the EGR stuff today. The plenum side as well as the valve were totally packed with carbon, i also repaired the pipe, and no more EGR codes...18 is still the only code left. Ill get that green wire fixed properly and go from there.
Truck was running fine but now it seems doggy.Pulled codes, got Code 18 and 33.18 is a continuous memory code "Spout Grounded/IDM fault/no tach signal"33 is a EGR stuck open code.Not super concered with the EGR, thats easy enough to fix...The 18 has me bugged though. Im wondering if...
It does have AC but the compressor is shot and doesnt even have a belt on it.I read the temp sender grounds thru the intake manifold where its screwed in, it had teflon tape on the threads...would that cause these issues?
Hey i dont know your location, or if youre still looking for a good ol work truck, but i got a 77 id let go to a good home. It was my DD past 4 years, all it needs is a brake line to be road worthy again. 77 F250 camper special with a 400/C6 and 2wdOops. Never mind. Just seen your in...
Im gonna have some time tuesday hopefully to look into this further. Im really leaning toward some alternator issue, reason being under full load i noticed the Amp gauge riding just a bit below 1/2, then when unloaded it jumps up kinda high, then settles down, seems they usually stay pretty...
I was wonderin about the VR itself, its internally regulated. Ive never had one fail though so im not sure what the symptoms are, besides battery meltdown.Guess i can hit the battery with a multimeter. How many volts is to much, i know normal is 13-14 with it running.
Hey guys, i used to be around here alot, under my old name "workin rig" askin questions about my old 77 F250....Either way, ive retired the 77 as my daily driver and bought an 87 Ranger. 2.9/5sp/2wd....Im having issues im hoping are electrical related...The temp gauge and oil pressure...
Sorry for the late response but ive been busy, traded the ol 460 in for a brand new tundra....Jokeing.I decided to keep it. My bro in law who isnt scared of pulling an EFI engine is gonna help me yank it. Assuming the block doesnt need machining (which 10k ago when i had the heads done it...
I didnt buy it at a buy here/pay here lot. I bought it at a regular used lot with a loan from first merit bank.I would never buy from a buy here pay here, i looked at a 2000 expedition once on one of them lots, like 3k down and 100/wk for the next 5 years. Final price was like 15k. I about...
It really wasnt a finacial issue why i bought it. I set out looking for a truck like this. I wanted a 92-97 style, originally i was looking for a 351/5sp but i questioned the 351s ability to do what i needed it to do. I could have bought something newer, but nothing really built by anyone in the...
Hey guys, long time, no see.(I used to be known around here as "workin rig")Anyways, onto the point.Around 3 years ago i had found a very nice, low mileage 97 F250HD with a 460/E4OD combo. It had 62k when i rolled it off the lot, it now has 81k on it. I bought it mainly to tow my 30ft...
I got it fixed, sorta. The latch was loose, so i tightened it down, but while screwing with it i found that itll shut when you push down on the door, long story short i backed the top hinge mount bolts off just a bit, now it shuts like a dream.It does need cab and core support rubber bad, the...
Ii just realized i put this in the bullnose (80-86) forum, sorry bout that lol.I suspected a worn bushing but the door has no up and down slop as well as no drop when opening, the bent pin maybe a possibility though
77 F250 2wd....The damn door on the drivers side wont shut, its not the latch, it will not shut until i drive it around the block then it shuts normally, im out of ideas, all it does is bang Against the striker....Opens fine (does hit fender though, sometimes to the point i cant open it...
Ok guys, heres my issue.My truck has a 28 spline, 9 inch.The replacement axle is a 31 spline.Now, my original plan was to just switch the guts from the 2 axles and be done, but heres my issue...My truck has the bearing style on the left, the other axle has the style on the...
