So I'm still having trouble with the vac line to my tranny. I've got an 81 f-250 4x4 with a 351m and a c-6. I removed all the smog lines from my motor but still a few glitches, the major one being that my tranny wont go out of 1st gear. I cant find any vac tube coming from the tranny Any help...

81 f-250 here

Ya think So?

Holy CowBuzz, Your reply was the answer to all my questions. I can't thank you enough. Last weekend I removed all the smog hoses and other things and replaced the water pump, fuel pump, plugs, wires, belts, hoses....it was so cheap < $160. However, now my truck runs like crap and wont shift...

wow thanks for all the info the special tool will make it a little easier i hope. And there is a big difference between 2 & 4wd.

Just got a new windshield that was damaged in the golf ball size hail storm last year. My motor is a 351. Auto trans. no a/c. i want to get rid of all the vacuum tubes, as the air pump is gone and there is an aftermarket air filter. I saw on a different thread that it was no prob to remove all...

Trying to change the rotors on the front of my 81 f-250 4 x 4. I'm having no luck getting them off. What am I doing wrong? does this job require special tools?

I'd like to get rid of all the vacuum tubes on my 81 f-250 351. I don't see a vacuum tube going to the heater. Anything I should look out for?

howdy, I have an 81 f-250 4 x 4 I would like to get in decent enough running order so my wife will be willing to drive it. My main problems are the vacuum system and the idle speed. All help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Dave
