Re: Replace water pump in a 300 cummins c series
Greggy wrote: I know it's probably a dumb question but do I need to drain out the coolant before I undo the water pump? I got to do this on the street and not make a mess. If you need to ask this question you should find someone else replace the water pump271Views0likes0CommentsRe: A/T P tires in front, Highway LT's in back, any problem?
P rated tires should not be on any Ford Excursion's they can't handle the weight load. Ford recalled the OEM LT D rated tires and had us install LT E rated tires. Mixing P rated tires and LT E rated tires on the same vehicle is a accident waiting to happen.493Views0likes0CommentsRe: F-450 V10 Battery cover?

I have had them on several vehicles and took all off and suffered no ill effects afterwards. So its your choice to use or take off since its really not needed. Your dealer is a idiot, that battery insulation is to protect the battery from the extreme under hood temps, heat is what kills battery's, evaporates the electrolyte and turns them into junk.328Views0likes0CommentsRe: Check those prices
I have found any of the local chain auto part stores way to expensive for oil, sometimes filters can be purchased on sale or with a discount coupon. It's tough to beat Walmart for items like this and they have quality brands of oil OEM filters on the shelf.494Views0likes0CommentsRe: Looking for new tow vehicle

My son and I saw one the other days and were talking about what a shame it was they quite making them. Agree Ford already has the platform to build it and people would by it. I have a 2000 Ford Excursion Limited 4x4 7.3 diesel with around 103k on it and plan on taking this to my grave, best vehicle I have ever owned but I will say she is a garage queen and only comes out for towing and traveling, I have other vehicles for daily drivers as the Excursion can not be replaced if some idiot hits it.654Views0likes0CommentsRe: Help with zirk fittings
Think about this, if the hub is packed full of grease using these EZ lube bearing buddy type axles on drum brakes what is going to happen when the axles hub gets hot, the grease is going to expand and the only place has to go is in the brake drums past the seal and contaminate the brake shoes.251Views0likes0CommentsRe: Trying to level my motorhome

I used a 2 foot level, placed it on the driveway, lifted it to level, measured the gap and it was 1 1/8". What is the height or ramps I need for the front tires as I will be backing in? Somewhere around 7 inches602Views0likes0Comments
