Have you tried slightly increasing the idle speed to compensate for the additional load when in gear?

Vivek, did you happen to read this? It was not uncommon for the dipsticks to not be accurate for a specific engine. https://www.garysgaragemahal.com/#nabble-td37680

This is for a 4X4... is this close? https://www.ebay.com/itm/375276009051 Sorry! Just noticed your request of AOD compatible.

Ever wonder why the 302/5.0L was never offered in anything larger than the F250, but the 300/4.9L was offered as the base engine all the way up to the F600?

Mine was no where near to that condition, but did cause a problem, so I am glad the engine in the photo was thoroughly cleaned.

And the big six banger just smiled and asked, "is that all you have?"

Jonathan, when you checked the oil level just prior to the oil change, was the engine cold and had the truck been sitting overnight? You had to add additional oil to obtain a "safe" level. Although not likely, perhaps the new oil jug [5 quarts?] was not full and was not noticed. I would be tempted to drain all the oil into a clean container and measure the volume. Most likely, about 1 quart will remain in the filter. Once filled with the correct amount and you feel comfortable with the dipstick reading, you might consider doing the following to calibrate the dipstick to your engine: https://www.garysgaragemahal.com/#nabble-td37680

Gary, I am reminded of a 1963 VW Beetle I had which had a 6V electrical system. I installed an 8V battery and adjusted the mechanical voltage regulator. The car ran for many years with quicker starting times, brighter lights and faster windshield wipers.

Thanks, Jonathan!

Thanks, Gary!

Thanks, that was what I was hoping!

I have owned 3 vehicles with the 300/4.9L carbureted engines and all had the carburetor held down with two nuts. My son's 1984 is the same and I wondered why a lock washer is not used? Thoughts? Thanks!

Nice find, Jonathan!

Understood!

I asked because I knew you in the past. I am the one who supplied you with the spare wheel carrier for the underside of your truck.

Matt, are you a doctor? David

Thanks for the artwork, BigBrother-84!

In the same way. there was a well known company which also thought that any of the computers running their OS were supposed to work beneath December 31 1999. So why to allow it? And then there is this one for F600/800 intermediate trucks which if an earlier one [before 1988?], is cable driven and is a drop in replacement in the Bullnose trucks. https://www.ebay.com/itm/126311533632?fits=Year%3A1980%7CModel%3AF-600%7CMake%3AFord&hash=item1d68c10c40:g:cwAAAOSwzIFlvBUr&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA0Kg8DszrXq%2Bj3w7LfQqJAYLhib2w7aULAIAwOH9xviW2wcB91mHG793qTOImcFjKWljop3D1HxFhpDT3vNWHXwW7wt97aXCiQkHkauwmFuMjuSw%2FBb6H1szvoYUTTKAhPHcWDIwd55d2rq2gTjV%2FOuOEmgZDyBqCsgFsELsWhhzEMgewItWbl01ws0mtjd%2BHrHbMiEDorC5I%2B9KLDMu3OzZVUqUb7xjPEw6x5b%2BjiNrqo5v2hMUwiXCdd2bh0h4%2FV9qsBLJelbDBPJvM18DvL78%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR8aln_GvYw Gary, please insert the photo as for some reason, I can no longer do so???

The speedometer shown in your photo is the "normal" one for trucks sold in the USA. The following is an example of the one sold for locations which favor the metric system. https://www.ebay.com/itm/374733315836?epid=1625457628&hash=item573fd89efc:g:s6oAAOSwB1tkejg0&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA0FeGgc3cvemhC%2BnWuV6sklrH6xImjgHEQ3JP6ReqjYYiYYs5u4x%2BQHiZofQzd9550cjNyzjQRSwIoVgHpOexd49iI4GZLUkTzKSl6w4LJuog%2FdaWTPUfKBDzgZ0Snby3kW%2FeOJMNU%2BchHo1RdCQXQ5wNHpeze3QtwX0ZNXhcUXt%2BZ2zWwaYL9sw5ymzOMiAvxUSbx1eEGOHZ50brzo%2BQzZp%2FY3V1gwPsfsARjWIxJQbDPfpHWl86FRSGX2vlvUknE%2FAKjs3m3103stEkbLIyaPM%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR5L3vOGuYw https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/s6oAAOSwB1tkejg0/s-l1600.webp
