1986F150Six Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Jim - Glad it is working. As for what I've done to my truck today, I'm just started but I gassed Big Blue up and am checking him over in prep for the 250 mile round trip to Anderson, MO for the FORDification show tomorrow. Do you have a spread sheet for gas mileage and Jerry cans used? P.S. Big Blue does look good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 Jim - Glad it is working.

Do you have a spread sheet for gas mileage and Jerry cans used? P.S. Big Blue does look good! I don't even have a Jerry can in - yet. But I may have as we are going out this evening to see Steve/FoxFord33 and family, so I might take the cans and fill them up as I'd like that reserve - just in case. (And I'm taking the '95 hubs/rotors to Steve as he will turn them for me - but don't tell him as he doesn't know yet. ) As for MPG, it won't take much computation. The 11 MPG figure makes for pretty easy math. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you figured out how the rodents got in there? The rubber boot looks intact. Might I suggest you remove the input shaft sleeve and clean the rust off the splines before putting it back together. A step farther would be minimal application of an extreme pressure paste like Honda Moly 60. This will help keep the disc from getting hung up.

fords4life Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I believe I have identified the problem with my kick panel vents: My truck was flooding when I went through the carwash after I first bought it for the same reason. I had to clean out both sides and make sure the rubber boots at the bottom were completely clear. No more flooding though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
