F350 = 24 volt. He might have jumped with both of yours for 24 volts? I have jumped our 450 at work when someone left lights on over wk end last month & totally dead batts. Took my Expedition and another one and put one on each battery with 2 sets of cables. 3 vehicles far from each other as...

You did well - great shape for age. What is the pickaxe handle for?

If you need a bit more leg room, you could cut the back corners over the tires and bend the sheet metal forwards to where it just clears lower part of seats, in effect rounding the corner. This would allow moving the box back a few more inches.

Look carefully and you should find the problem. Replace anything in a brake system that does not look perfect. The extra bucks are cheap versus needing a commercial tow or you or your truck getting damaged, or someone getting hurt.

Calculating is tricky - remember, for each gear under 4th, engine turns progressively faster than driveshaft. As JDK posted, only time drive shaft turns faster than engine is in OD gears. His calc is in the ballpark. Solid, slow heavy diesel, not a civy gas engined car that can turn 5 or 6,000 RPM.

I would NOT repair the bent shoe. In my opinion, unsafe. Could cause a wheel lock-up if it bends again, or fatigues in the future. In 50 years of working on vehicles, I have only seen this happen a few times. What I saw - The push rod pushed on the shoe at an angle because one of the hold down...

I helped drag off the road about a 1,500 pound trailer where the receiver latch did not hold, and let go while he was slowly going over railroad tracks in the center of town. The chains held. It was downhill. As the driver stopped, the trailer receiver smashed into the truck, redesigning the...

VERY nice - It looks like it was always there! I am surprised it is necessary to do that.

Again, my prayers and condolences. I have been hit twice in my life by drunken drivers. Sometimes, there is just NOTHING you can do to avoid them. I doubt a modern civi vehicle with all the air bags could have fared better - probably worse. That Dodge outweighs even a GM Suburban or Ford...

If it works good, and need to save $$, you can do it yourself with a rebuild kit.

Can't edit out extra bottom line.

Bring your proctologist gloves. Can just throw them away when done, or since already greased, use them for purpose intended. Bring your Proctologist gloves. Just throw them away when done.

I am not a big fan, but reality is they are ok, and a good choice in offroad under hood environment. Factory links are well sealed, and still perform well 30 years later. I like fuses, but have to say underhood, unlikely they will last anywhere near 30 years. Contact corrosion.

I like your work. Others may like it a bit too much! Now - put something in there that you don't tell anyone about to make your truck hard to steal. Possibly a hidden fuel valve or electrical cuttoff for fuel pump. Just sayin.

If you can turn it 90 deg, like the one above, will get less heat. If the plastic melts off, be carefull, edges of metal handle can be sharp.

Sometimes that is the way it goes with "friends" - Only reason you were there was to help him, you get stuck, and he screws you. Winds up costing you $$$ because you tried to help him. Bet you are quick o respond if he calls again.

You sure the ball valve handle is far enough from the exhaust manifold? Heat may melt the red plastic right off.

:oops: !!! Bringing in a track vehicle - Case 9040 cost someone a few coins.:cry: Thank You for the post - reminds me - don't help anyone stuck in mud with my civy Truck.

Automatic! Power steering? Flat belts - not V belts? or are the belts in the grooves with marks from something riding on their backs? No belts on pump. Is that a rusty AC compressor I see? Nice looking truck. You gonna have lot of fun figuring out what all them do-dads do. Kinda jealous...
