Hey fellas...it's been a while since I've been on here but I managed to run through MANY threads, but didn't see anything on steering gear boxes. My 97 F250HD is on its third box (Autozone junk; lifetime warranty (yeah...about two hours of driving!)) and I'm looking for more reasonable...
I'm not positive that my 96 bezels are the same as yours. But, let me say this, if I ever find the jerk who engineered how the 96 bezels attach, I'll run him off the road and double-tap him. I just changed from a chrome to a black grill/bezels and those freakin bezels were a bi*ch to get...
Guys, I'm looking at installing an electric fan to replace my engine fan. I've been looking at a Flex-a-lite fan http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/details/QQFordQQF-250QQFlexaliteQQRadiator_FanQQ19761997QQF21114.html but can't seem to find out whether or not these come with the...
I'm in the process of getting a reman engine swapped in my 97 Crew. I had been running a set of Hedman Hedders that the exhaust shop guys modified to run the original A.I.R. tubes that they had taken off of the original manifolds. Now, after the 'first' engine swap (another story for later)...
Nope...don't mess with it...looks TOO GOOD as it is. Skandocious is right...pin-striping is there to make things 'pop'...and, Brother, this does. Very nice...
Yeah...I'm looking forward to driving it with the new motor. It will also give me confidence to take more roadtrips with it. I'm hoping that I'll feel a big difference in the performance (back to OEM new) and perhaps eek out a few MPGs along the way!
Well, after 169000 miles, the 'ol 460 up and died. Things started going south one morning (Wednesday) when I went to start her up for work. It sat there in the driveway and idled a bit rough initially and then cleared up after a few minutes. That afternoon, she wouldn't start. I checked the...
Real nice...should be good for another ten years. It's one of those repairs that nobody really sees but that you know was something that had to be done. Can't wait to see her all put back together. Thanks for posting...Doug
Ok...this just happened on Friday and I don't recall doing anything out of the ordinary...so, needless to say, it's a head-scratcher. Anyway, when I take off hard or jump on it and get the engine to rev over 3500, I start to get a whistling noise on the passenger side (sound like it's coming...
Did the same to my truckI had to do the same to my F250 HD Crew a couple of years ago since my radiator support was also rusted out really bad. The former owner used it for plowing and that sort of drove the steak through the heart. I also replaced the entire front end and leaf springs...
A while ago I was underneath the bed of my F250 Crew looking at what it'll take to build me a new bumper, when I noticed an ooze coming from one of the tank hold down straps on the rear tank. I dabbed a little on my finger and of course, it smelled like gas...a leak. So I've ordered and...
Nice job. I need to replace mine, too. I've already done the fronts because the former owner ran an 8'6" plow...caused the front end components to take a real beating. I just need to find the time for the rears. I also saw that you used what looked to be the old u-bolts. Is that true...
Ford steering boxes are sloppyI had the same slop issue and decided to change out the entire system. New box, hoses, pump. And it's still sloppy, although somewhat better. I'm now thinking about using an AGR box/pump combo. Anybody have any experience with this? Does it take out the slop...
I just put on a set of headman headers and true dual exhaust (twin cats/flowmasters/tailpipes). Also, you might think about a throttlebody spacer...helps get fuel into the intake more efficiently. This will increase power. I can't claim that you'll get much better fuel economy than what you...
This is my truck when I purchased it. I've chased away all the rust since then and added the following mods:
K&N Intake/filter
Headman Headers (long tube)
2 1/2" true dual exhaust
Cats
Flowmasters
Stainless tips
Custom cab steps (at each door)
Line-X
Tonneau cover
Terra Grapple

Thanks for the replies and advice. I kinda knew that a new box was in my future. So, what my plan of attack will be is to go with what I should have gotten in the first place...AGR gearbox and Super pump. I'll take the advice to see if I can get a warrantied box now, but barring that, I'll...
Hello to all,I'm brand new to this forum and just want to say that I look forward to hearing what everyone's got to say. I'm posting because I recently replaced my power steering system (pump, hoses, gear box) and today heard this awful howling coming from the pump. I took a look (27...
