Fuel gauge- Use a stick to measure the fuel level. Don’t you remember anything Wiley taught you?????😂😂😂😂

Hank, Enjoy all your videos. My 7.3 gets 18-20 mpg at 60mph. The gas gauge is aways off and it is an automatic. I made a trip to Alaska in 2015, pulling a 2000lb travel trailer and

Great start Hank, those 7.3's are tough engines should make a nice service and toe rig.

For the A/C air only blowing through the defrosting ducts check the vacuum-operated solenoid that sits between the passenger-side hood hinge and the firewall. The rigid vacuum line to that gets brittle and breaks. My 95' F-150 had that exact same issue. At

This truck looks like what you really needed, a tough truck that better fits what you do! As mentioned above, check the tank vent hoses! You might also need to put the nozzle in at a particular angle, due to the need when installing the bed. Heater/ AC blower defaults to defrost. Your problem is probably the blend door actuator, which is pretty cheap, and easy to change. (It is behind the glove box) Diesels don't have manifold vacuum, so you can't use vacuum motors to operate stuff. I owned a 2004 diesel 6.0, and in 100k that blend door motor was the only out of warranty repair. Highway speeds...you should be able to run the legal limit "forever" with no harm. Drive by the tach, not the speedo!! I once drove mine 'way over the limit, towing a 14k trailer. Truck didn't seem to mind. Later models have a 6 speed automatic, with a tow/haul switch on the shift lever, which selects a different program in the transmission. There's also a manual/automatic mode if you wish. I think the rear axle is a Dana 60, but that is a guess! My new F-250 has an electric lock for the rear end, which will lock up like a spool under 20 MPH, otherwise acts like a regular limited slip.

Nothing else but watching your videos makes everything else goes away in my life i just love it every time you guys checking fluids levels and you say it’s making oil or coolant or fuel

On the duct work under the dash just make sure the vac pump is good and the vac lines are hooked up. Thats most likely the problem. 8 times out of 10.

Nice rig, I had to move the filler spout to the top of the bed, or you can put a drag up tank on the bed and run a small gravity feed hose to the main tank, with a electric cut off switch. Put a water Separator filter between the tanks. Welcome to the Old Flat Bed Family !!!

It’s a Ford bro, you should be worried about that dodge behind you more. I been having one of those F-350’s about 15 years, I love it, her name is big red.

Get a temperature gun from harbor fright or any auto store or hardware store. I uses my temperature gun for checking temperatures on anything. You can see if the engines and wheels temperature in a sec by a temperature gun.

The vent on the filler is probably messed up from flexing it to meet up with the flatbed body. Check for hose kinks and add in an external tank vent if it doesn't improve. Cool old truck Hank! 👍😁

First off, love the channel, always looking forward to the next video release. Second, i am insanely jealous of the new beast. Nothing beats the sound of an older diesel. It is such a calming and rewarding sound. Super nice looking truck and can’t wait for what you are going to do it. Keep up great content.

I was trained (taught) by and old ford mechanic. He worked on those old swamper trucks (derrick trucks), from Texas and Oklahoma. The fuel gauge was often a big problem the ground would get rusted or lose and through them off.( Not very reliable ) I would just run new wire to tanks and frame. The fill necks on the tanks are shortened to make the bed fit and cause the the problem you are having with fill tube, either lift the fill tube or change to a custom tank, it usually was just change to custom tanks for the F350s. The temp gauge won't reset like the others when to key is cycled, (moves, reads when power is put to it). And the windows will probably work when you replace the switch controls.( would replace the door wiring harness, there cheap enough). The blend door is behind the glove compartment and easy to change, it is an electric in that model. Finally i would replace the tank selector solenoid, they often go bad and cause tons of headaches. But in all beautiful truck and great stout engines. Wish you all the luck and God bless you too.😉😉😉

I have a '96 with the 7.3 PSD. There isn't an adjustment for the E-brake. I made one and used a turnbuckle to allow the cable to be tightened up. Also there is a connector that goes into the VC gasket that sometimes goes bad. After replacing 2 out of the 4 connectors the glow plugs and injectors work much better.

The fuel is spilling back because the filler neck isn't steep enough. It's common on flatbed installations on diesel trucks. Diesel foams easily. I've built several beds. The trick is to make sure the fill pipe dips down as close to the filler as possible.

That is a really nice truck. I have s 96 7.3 dually. Anyhow, your truck does have a vacuum pump. And, it probably has a broken vacuum line under the hood close to the firewall near the ac blower. That will cause the problem with the air coming out the wrong ducts.

Try turning nozzle 90 degrees and then 180 to find the happy place to fill tanks. My flatbed is about 100 degrees from the normal position. Also reach under truck and grab the emergency brake cable about a foot from each brake drum and push and pull it back and forth to fully release brake and then pedal will not sag and turn light on in the dash.

The 7.3 don't like aftermarket sensors only factory sensors. And a little trick at least to get you by so you don't have to be there forever at the pump is to stick a funnel in the filler neck and then pump fuel into the funnel.

You started talking about head gaskets and the 6.0 just showed up out of no where. Nice truck!!
