I have had a dead draw on my 85 F-350 7.5L for awhile now. I have not been able to locate it. Tried a test light and pulling the fuses, no help. Tried a multi meter, but I'm not sure if I'm using it correctly. The other electrical problem I am having is occasionally when I try to start it, it...
So the guy finally got his act together and got everything to finish the swap. Quick question though, the ignition module for the 302 was on the distributer, 351w was on the fender (which we don't have anymore). Since the distributer wouldn't swap from the 302 to the 351w (smaller shaft size)...
Yeah I know it's not a timing issue, it cranks just fine. I think I'll try a ignition module, i've got a dead draw some where maybe that could be the issue as well.
85 f350, It will start cold just fine, but after getting to temp it won't fire. It cranks fine just won't fire. Getting plenty of fuel, and i checked the coil by putting a spark plug on it. When cranked I didn't see any spark until the key was let go of, then i would see one tiny little spark...
So i finally got confirmation... it's out of a '78 f-250. In case anyone wants to know or didn't know... Dana stamped a number on the ring gear, and you can reference that number to find out what axle you have.
So I finally got time to get some numbers 449F, I believe this notes that it is a D44, and C38681 which I believe is a casting number. From what I've been reading these came in 78-79 F250's and maybe some Bronco's. Can anyone confirm this? I'd really like to get a new axle and get the 4X4...
I went from a 19 gallon rear to the 38. Still got a 19 front. Got the bigger tank from Rock Auto (rockauto.com) about $180 that includes shipping. Came with everything to modify the sending unit and to mount it.
Yeah I opted for the 38 gallon rear tank. That's why I've got the old one laying around. Of coarse now it'd cost me close to $200 to fill both tanks with fuel.
Larry thanks for the offer, but it looks like that's a TTB axle. I have a solid axle, and not sure if the shafts themselves will exchange. I'm in Lima, and from the looks of the map it would take about 2 hours to get to you. I really appreciate the offer, if I had more time on my hands I might...
Sorry man I'm trying to get the #'s but I work 2nd shift and haven't had a day off since thanksgiving. It's kinda hard to get out and dig around for them.
I know for a fact that it is a 44, I just don't know what it's out of, or what year it is. I would like to get a new axle to get me thru the winter and get a 60 after the first of the year. I'm just not sure what length axle to get, because i don't know what it came out of.
Everybody said it would happen, and it did. I broke my driver side axle. It's a Dana 44, but I have no idea what it's out of. So if anyones got any suggestions of how to tell, I would appreiciate it. Ultimately I would like to get a Dana 60, but they are hard to find around these parts.
