Got to be careful of them embankments. R.I.P. Billy Conforto.

 

That’s funny, the supercharger oil came with the syringe for a feeding tube.

 

The syringe is necessary, at least it is on the 3.4l supercharger..I'm sure it's the same process on yours. When it's installed on the truck the only way to get the old oil out is to draw it out with that syringe, and it makes filling it much easier.

 

If their take offs its almost guranteed that they're sagging. The 92 looked like a dog scooting its ass across the rug at only 60k. Common problem thats solved by using a really stiff add a leaf.

 

Yes. There’s one that comes in for service. Great driving car.. even if this one I work on has over 200k

 

Once you crank down the 7M head to what it should be they're a pretty solid if underwhelming engine.

 

Solid If Underwhelming is my middle name

 

Do you hyphenate that?

 

Just needs an orange plastic flaggie thing from Home Depot!!

 

I know you totally need it, just funny to see it’s a feeding tube one specifically.

 

Ordered front shocks for my 98 2wd. Anyone already do a thread? Looking for something I can look at so I have an idea of what I’ll be getting into before hand.

 

What kind of shocks?

 

I just got factory replacements

 

I dunno why we even bother making write-ups on TW, this man has all the answers

does a failing pinion bearing usually take out the gears with it?

 

It can if left alone too long, the wobble will wear the things weird. Or if it's a big failure it'll ruin the race on the pinion

 

from the FSM - component view will list your torque values, remo will be your steps to remove. install is the reverse. snug up all the bolts and then torque to spec when on the ground off the jack stands.

hopefully, you're just installing the assembled coilover and not using a manual spring compressor.

 

It’ll be slightly different for him, that’s the 4x4 and PreRunner documentation. He has a 5-Lug.

 

Word, I'll have to investigate. I know the pinion seal on the F250 is bad but I never thought to check for play. I have a nasty vibration at 70+

Looks like an axle is only $200 pulled from a junkyard so that'll probably be my route if it is.

 

From a YouTube video I’ve seen all there is to remove is the top nut while keeping the shock from spinning then there’s 2 bolts holding on from the bottom. I just take the nut off and remove 2 bolts and it slides out the bottom.
