I have heard about using tranny fluid before, but wasn't sure if it was for real. Can I leave the Dexron in there, or do I need to change the oil sooner than later? I have tried a bunch of different rear main fixes in a bottle, none seem to help. I will try the Dexron and see how it goes. Thanks...

Since I had such good luck with the ICM replacement, I need a little input on the rear main seal in my 460. It has been leaking for a while, only getting worse. As I don't have time to do major surgery anymore, I took it to the shop I use to see what they could do. They came back with EXPENSIVE...

Well anyway, We are back on the road again, thanks for all the input. Up here in Vermont we will be getting snow anyday now, and it last for 6 months. When the truck runs good it makes my life a whole lot easier. I will keep my eyes out for a Ford DS II mod, maybe I will get more life out of one...

So I put in the new ICM, truck popped right off, ran good. I have not had time to run it very long since, so time will tell. I think the one I replaced was only 2 years old...

I think you have it pegged, Im going to install the new one today, will post how it goes. Finally put a few pics up.

I did finally get a few pics of my sweetie posted....

Fellro, my rig is carbed, Edelbrock. As I said in my other thread, there is nothing on my distributor. I have a question about coils. When I bought the truck years ago there was some fancy coil on it, but it is long gone. I run a stock coil now. Are there any advantages to running a hot coil?

So this is what I call the ICM, ignition control module. Mine IS on the drivers side fender. I think Ive replaced it before, got one on order, will install today. I got the truck into my shop last night to work on the sander, and I think that was the last gasp for the ICM, it wouldn't start to...

I got some advice to check the tfi on my 86 460. I do not have one on the distributor, where else could it be an what does it look like, is it like the distributor mounted ones?

Now Lets See here... It was running good a minute ago

Smokey, what is the TFI

So the old girl ran good all summer, worked hard, never complained. I'm getting ready for winter, putting the sander and the plow on, and all of a sudden she starts acting up. Now, she's getting on in years... 86 f-250, 460ci, but man, she's all there. I keep her local, too thirsty for out of...

All good news... Someday I will post a pic of the old girl. Came from AZ by way of Los Vegas, I picked it up in Portsmouth NH for $4000. When I got it there wasn't even dirt in the frame rails. Needless to say I bought this girl to work, She's a heavy hauler on the farm all summer, and runs a...

Thanks for the replies. I HATE electric windows, I live in Vermont and when it is -30 out they never work. I like to keep it simple, do dads always wear out and make work. I have pulled the passenger mechanism, I did have to drill out rivets. If all I have to do is drill new holes for the hand...

Hey all, I have an 86 250, hardest working truck I ever had, 105k and still no rust. It has electric window cranks, and both motors have worn out. I would love to switch to hand cranks. Is this possible? Will hand cranks mount right up in the doors in place of the electrics? Thanks for the help.

Which trans will fit the 300, and will that mean a transfer case issue?

Hey all, here's a ? Ive got an86 250, with a 460 and a C6. I hate to say it but I'm thinking of swapping for a 300. The truck is from AZ, low miles, no rust. But it is a work truck on the farm, need torque, not super hp. Plus this girl is THIRSTY! Can I swap and still use the C6?, any other...

I've got an 86 F250 with a 460, and the rear main has had a slight drip for a long time. It sat for a few months, and the when I restarted it the leak was much worse. It also has a bad PCV valve. I have heard this can aggravate a weak rear main. Any thoughts?
