    Hello help

    No sir, it looks complete to me. If you're referring to this spot, that's where the fuel filters on the vans gets mounted.

    Hello help

    Looks pretty complete, is there anything in particular you're referring to?

    Warm start issue

    Yup. You can do the 2 cycle in place of the fuel treatment. Should quiet her down some too.

    idi parts

    Try and get the filter base from a 6.9, they don't have that troublesome heating element in them. I sourced my return lines from eBay and bought upgraded o rings through a member of another forum. Never eliminated a tank so can't help you there. If you ever have to put in new glow plugs...

    96 f250 7.3 swap to 3.73 or keep 4.10. Rear swapped by PO

    Find a factory axle and swap it back in. The spring perches on the 01 axles are 1.5" narrower than what your truck originally came with. What that boils down to is poor ride quality. Sell the 01 axles for 1000 and make a little bit of money.

    Fuel problem!

    You need to locate where the smell of gas is coming from bit this sounds like a bad fuel pump to me.

    2 inch lift

    Factory F250 springs will give you that much lift in the front end to level things out. For some reason the link wouldn't work for me.

    1953 F100 $15k

    Buddy of mine has a 53 Ford with a Windsor and a 5 speed that looks like that. Cool truck, for sure. I'm the same way, Buzz. I'd like to throw a BBF into a classic Vette just to piss in someone's cheerios.

    F150 Wont Start

    It's much easier to unbolt the rail from the intake and lift that side up so you can get to the bolts on the FPR.

    I didn't think leather could get rejuvenated like that. Nice work.

    460 ecu & 24# injector swap (can it work?)

    I'd love a single cab dually on a dana 60 with some 36 or 37 inch tires.....Nice rig.

    Warm start issue

    Keep some bottled water in the truck with you. Next time you shut her down, before you start her up pour the cool(not cold) water over the top of the injection pump. If it fires right up(or pretty much right up) then the injection pump is ready for replacement. All those things are is aluminum...

    '94 Headlight bezel color

    They're originally black and fade over time. I'm guessing your truck is an XL? Crank windows, vinyl floormats?

    Did it throw any codes?

    Urgent help needed, fuel overflowing from rear tank

    Your truck should have a valve on the framerail. They get sticky and and won't let fuel return to the correct tank. Had the same problem on my 95.

    '95 F350 460 EFI fuel pump??

    Have you replaced the fuel filter? What makes you think it's not a spark issue? www.oldfuelinjection.com

    460 ecu & 24# injector swap (can it work?)

    That factory 19lbs can flow enough fuel to support right around 350hp. Even if you swap in the 24lbs, the ECM is not going to flow more fuel than needed into the engine without a tune. Why is your vacuum so low? Have you played with the timing to get it higher?

    School me on an 89 F350

    Yea, those trucks are pretty bulletproof and you've got a good trans behind that big block. Don't expect more than 10 mpg at best though. The TFI module is a pretty common issue, it was their initial placement more than anything, right on the side of the distributor.
