Nuke,

I have been running synthetics everywhere except the engine in my '91
F-150 since about 45,000 miles. I used Mobil 1 75W90 in the
differentials, and added the Ford additive to the Traction Lock rear
end. I changed them again at 97,000 miles. I have had no problems; the
Mazda M5OD still shifts perfectly with synthetic ATF (AMSOIL ATF - same
in the xfer case). I now have 114,000 miles.

Did you torque them correctly using a torque wrench? Its not
how tight they are that counts, but how evenly they are
tightened.

Hi All,

Last spring I R&R my master cylinder, then it started seeping below the
reservoir, so I took it back and the second one seeped too. It loses about a
half inch per week. Went to buy new rubber seals, nope, gotta buy the
reservoir too. ($35) I finally got around to R&R the reservoir and seals
last week, and it leaks too.

What's the trick to seal the seals?

Thanks in advance,

Andrew,
I was in to the International dealer and I noticed he had 20" plain
steel Budd wheels for only $85cdn (about $60us). I was amazed, I paid
that much for my 16" white spokes.

Maybe they don't carry the 16" 8 bolts, they only had the 20" on
display, but this or other big truck dealers may be an alternate
place to look?

I get my synthetic gear oil from Canada's "Canadian Tire" automotive chain
now, but 8 (or more) years ago when I started using it the Peterbuilt truck
dealership and the AMC Jeep dealership were the only place that carried it.
It was called "Eaton Synthetic Gear Oil" at Peterbuilt and I believe it
came in 75w90 and the AMC stuff was 85w140. I didn't notice any difference
with the AMC 85w140 stuff in the rear diff of a car but the 75w90 "Eaton
Synthetic" in my fulltime 4wd van (both diffs and xfer case) was incredible.
Cold weather power, top speed and fuelmileage made a huge jump. The van
rolls freer when warmed up as well. Much of this may be due just to the
viscosity reduction but with nearly 100,000 kms on this lube and almost
300,000 kms on the drivetrain I have had no wear problems. (it must be time
to change it by now???)

The LSDs in my vehicles equiped with them (not the Bronco :-( ) work
fine with the synthetic gear oil, both from Eaton and Canadian Tire.
Yes it is compatable with LSD additives and you still have to add them
or the diff will still chatter on corners.

I found a fusible link that was blown behind the engine, in the big
bundle that heads for the computer. Fixed the fusible link, tryed to
start the truck, and the soleniod stuck open again. So, I went to napa,
got --another-- new solenoid, and it has started fine so far. They were
nice and didn't charge me for the second soleniod, so that helped.
Thanks for all the info and help. Other than the link being in the most
inaccesbile spot I could find, it is an easy fix (once you find it)

Thanks Again, have to drive now (just because I can...)

Subject: FTE 80-96 - 5.8 rough idle

Hi all, I have a 1989 F150 Supercab 4x4, 5.8l with a C6 auto. It has idled
rough since the day I bought it with 27,000 miles. It was back to the
dealer under the ESP warranty and they replaced everything except the engine
itself. Finally, an engineer came down from Dearborn and told me that the
rough idle is normal due to a high overlap camshaft. I basically decided to
live with the idle after that, but now after 6 years or so, and about
120,000 miles, I have decided to try to get to the bottom of this problem.
I pulled the intake last week to do the gasket and wound up snapping a few
bolts in the heads. So I pulled the heads and found a piece of debris
holding one of the intake valves open, as well as a broken head bolt (dealer
gorilla?). I had the heads done and now after putting it back together
again, it runs exactly the same. Has anyone else out there had the same
rough idle problems with the 5.8 EFI motor? I was curious if I was the
only one or do they all idle rough like Ford says.

Okay I was wondering about running 75-90w synthetic in my 8.8 inch rear
with the HD 31 tooth Traction-Loc diff even though it calls for the heavier
75-140w stuff, thinking that the synthetic though lighter in viscosity
would be a better product.

This is a heavy duty 1/2 ton, 11 inch rear brakes, 11 inch clutch, HD Ford
RUG 4 spd OD xmsn, the 208 xfer case though. Anyway occasionally I'll be
pulling a 25 foot boat from Palm Beach to the Florida Keys, but most of the
time highway driving and some light trail driving to get to hunting and
fishing holes, and pulling the boat the ramp 2 miles from home.

I've received two messages from folks that have run the lighter 75-90 in
their rears looks like around 100,000 miles or more with out any adverse
effects. I was leaning that way and now I got some supporting info along
the same line of thought. Anyone out there violently object to this idea?
I found some 75-140 synthetic at a Napa store but $32 seemed to rich for
my blood.

This is my first posting (actually second attempt) so bear with me. I

beast to what I have considered a good mechanic and he is stumped. The

checked compression on cylinders, checked the plugs, check the rear
main, front main and the EGR, and NOTHING has shown up to be severe
enough to consume 2 USqts of oil in 200 miles. We even went the route of
considering the oil being trapped in the cylinder head and boiling, due
to clogged return ports. We replaced the valve seals (guides were
tight) and cleaned the return ports of debris (nothing severe there)and
washed our hands and considered the problem resolved. NO WAY, still
using/losing oil as fast as this beast uses gas. HELP!!!

Is that a stock Ford camshaft in there? One thing I would try is to remove
the Idle-Air Bypass valve and clean it out with some carb/choke cleaner. If
it is sticking and not able to open all the way that could be one reason the
idle is so poor.

Subject: Re: FTE 80-96 - 85 Bronco II with oil leak

Tom,
Get yourself some engine degreaser. Warm the engine and get under
there and spray that thing down, from underneath and from above even
if you don't think it's from up top. You have to get it as clean as
you can to see the source so use a stiff brush if you have to (don't
forget the goggles). Hose it off and drive it for a while and come
back to check the source.
I don't know how many miles you have, but if you have about 50k I'd
replace the valve covers gaskets, not just re-torque them down. This
is, of course, if you find that to be the source. Mine leaked and ran
down the back of the block and dripped from behind the flywheel cover
plate so you never know where the source may be. My gaskets were so
hard and brittle they never would have torqued and re-sealed it.
That's what I suspect is wrong w/yours if, in fact, that is the source
and you can't re-torque to re-seal. They're cheap - about 8 bucks for
mine (I got rubber-impregnated since I didn't find all rubber, but
that's what I'd recommend - all rubber), but the job may take you a
few hours depending on how much crap you have to move. My drivers'
side was cake compared to the pass. on my '87 F-250 w/a 351W 4bbl.

Hope that helps,
Later,
Randy
