  1. Check Engine Light 4500 miles

    My DEF was low with about 400 miles remaining. I had it filled at Elk River Ford. About two days later my check engine light comes on so I went to Boyer Ford in Minneapolis and find out that the DEF pressure is low and they messed with it for about 2 hours. The verdict was it needs a new DEF...
  2. 2011 F-350 6.7 Powerstroke

    I bought a 2011 F-350 Crew Cab Long Box King Ranch with the 6.7 Powerstroke. So far I'm impressed. I had a 99 7.3 and 2005 6.0. This diesel is very quiet, however it has a fair amount of "fan" noise. Mileage is between 12-16 depending on if I'm pulling. I got 1600 miles on it. The...
  3. Brakes won't bleed

    I cannot get my brakes to bleed out. I have replaced the lines, master cylinder, wheel cylinders, proportioning valve, and calipers. I also re-painted my brake booster assembly and in the process may have mixed up some parts from my 1979 2WD F-150 parts truck. I'm wondering if the plunger in...
  4. Power Steering Pump

    I installed new seals in the steering box, everything went back together nicely, including all the ball bearings. I switched from the Saginaw Pump to the Ford Plastic pump as well. With the start up of my 460, I don't have power steering, I've turned it back and forth, engine running, engine...
  5. Power Steering Hose

    Does anyone know the part number for the power steering hose going from the pump to the steering box (pressure side). I had a 1977 F150 with a 351M with a Saginaw Steering Pump. I swapped that with a 460 (L&L Conversion kit) so I had to replace that pump with the C pump with came off the 1979...
  6. Seat

    I'm looking for a seat for my '77 F-150. I painted the cab Sonic Blue Pearl. What years of seats fit that cab? I've heard 73-92?? Also, are there other brands that people have tried and worked good? I bought one today from a used (take out) Dodge and it's going back... way too much work to...
  7. Power Steering Pully

    On my 1977 F-150 with the 351M, I'm trying to remove the pulley from the power steering pump. It appears the pulley collar is threaded onto the shaft. I can put a 3/8" Hex wrench into the pump shaft. I had a vice grip on the pulley collar. I assume standard threads...Any advice. I have...
  8. Cab Corners Source

    I bought a right side cab corner from NPD. I can't say I'm thrilled with it. Does anyone know where I can buy a good quality cab corner from? I got one from my grampa that he had bought years ago that is much thicker but the sticker is gone.thanks
  9. L and L 351M to 460 Conversion

    Has anyone swapped a 1977 351M with the 4 speed manual (4x4) to a 460? I bought the complete kit from L & L less the oil pan and pump. I have to bolt on the flywheel, pressure plate, and clutch to the 460. I'll drop the tranny and transfer case in the frame first, then drop the engine in. I...
  10. cab Corners

    I need to replace the cab corner on the right side, it is banged up really bad, everything is solid, but the truck had some body work. It would be hard to perfect that area so I want to install a cab corner. What is the best way? I have been told to weld over the existing one or cut out the...

  12. Steering Box Rebuild

    Does anyone know where I can find information on rebuilding my steering sector? The ball bearings came out of there groove when I pulled the input end off. I can make sense of it, after I pulled the output side up and pulled my input side out. It appears that you feed the ball bearings...
  13. Toe In

    What is the spec to set my Toe In for 1978-9 F-150 steering geometry? I assume I will measure the front side and back side of the tires (at 9 & 3 O'clock). My tire size is 15 x 42 x 15. I have new balljoints, bushings, complete tie-rods and pitman arm.
  14. Steering Box Revolutions

    I have a 1977 F150 converted to 78-79 steering. How many revolutions should I get on my steering box? I have power steering if that matters. I'm trying to set my new Extreme Drop Pitman Arm (Skyjacker 9" lift) and I only have 1.5 turns. I can't get my orientation correct.Thanks,Dan
