When I was moving cross country, I was driving an 84 F250 with a straight axle swap and 35s, towing a trailer. I lost power steering just before crossing from Connecticut into New York, and found a plastic bag wrapped around the power steering cooler. This was about 100 miles into the trip...

I do also have a cooler about twice the size of the pictured one kicking around, but that involves buying hose, mounting it, etc. I guess I can go that route, I didn't think the output side of the radiator would be that warm.

Truck is a 71 F250 body on an 85 F250 chassis with an 89 7.3IDI and ZF 5speed. The typical Ford power steering "cooler" loops on the front crossmember is in rough shape. I'd also like to mount my electric lift pump right where that cooler is. I put a new radiator in this thing, and it has a...

The power steering pump also provides fluid to the brake hydroboost system. IIRC the rpms on that drop to 500 in reverse, if the power steering pump is worn then it may not be able to provide enough pressure/flow to maintain the boost in reverse.

I'm waiting for the new Ford chassis to get here, supposedly the 7.3 is replacing the V10. I love the sound of the V10, but a big 8 might be interesting.

I'd be so happy if I could just have a nice 40x60 or so shop with some form of living quarters off it. Even just a decent RV. Enough work to keep the lights on, and to afford to tinker on my projects, take off for the day when I feel like it, etc. Unfortunately, my wife and kids don't follow...

I got my Courier in 07, but it stayed 2WD until 2013. It's been a project since then.

They're coughing as fast as lightning And the future is a little bit frightening-

Did you use dual intensity lights or are they just brake lights?

If it was based on an Isuzu, yes, but those Fusos are notoriously unreliable, the proper scanning software is dealer only, and parts are very expensive. The biggest issues are from the emissions system, and with that right around the end of the warranty I'd pass. It is cool, though.

Looks like a pretty slick setup.

Is that a self contained setup, or does it need to be networked? Might be a neat option for a street rod that needs to be a bit cleaner than hydraulic lines would allow. Stuff that under the dash and it'd be good to go.

Usually for used bearings I'll tighten them down about 15ft/lbs and then back off 90°.

Looking like late January-early February, empty 14' E350 based box with a hitch. If you need stuff moved that way let me know.

3.73 gears, limited slip, trashed. Carrier and housing should be salvageable, bad bearings, bad spider gears, pattern is wiped. I planned on rebuilding, but I threw in a junkyard unit.

Does yours still have the electric lift pump just below the fuel filter? Those are a very common cause of ECM failure as they are powered and grounded straight through the ECM. Use the ECM outputs to trigger a relay, and run power and ground from the battery for it with a 30amp fuse.

The price is good, I'm just broke. FWIW, I have one of those at work and it's awesome.

Motive Gear brand, new in box from about five years ago. Looks like they go for around $220 now, I'll take $150 shipped. These were for my 69 F250 diesel conversion, it had a 3.73 rear but then I ended up starting over on the whole truck. I don't have anything with a D60 anymore.

Winter Walking brand is very popular at my work, they have some Yak Trax as well.

It should be easy to find plenty of "failed Explorer diff sludge brown".
