A small leak in the vacuum modulator will allow the engine vacuum to import fliud into the vacuum lines,and it accumulates in low paces in the lines. After a while,the lines start swelling and deteriorating..then leak or fall off due to being too loss.

I live in western colorado about 3 hours west of Denver. The truck needs paint, tires, the right valve cover leaks oil and their is coolant leak somewhere. The truck also has AC and cruise control both of which need to be fixed. Good to know the truck came with a limited slip. I'm dissapointed that it has 4.10s. I was hoping they were higher because I it will be a long distance highway truck. When I test drove it I found it to be much quieter than my 77 F250 4x4. I will have to try it on a local trip? Thank you for the information!

It was a Ford 10.25. I took it apart Saturday, as the differential needed looked at anyway... had the obligatory "wet look" across the bottom of the back of the rear hood. Needed a new gasket. Wanted to look at the gears in there, too. The axle shaft looked good, and everything else seemed fine. Replaced the outer bearing while I had it apart, for good measure. Inner bearing moved fine... too much work to replace it for good measure, eh :). It took looking at both the Haynes and the Chiltons manuals to piece all the info together... The good news is that I had it all together to drive to work today. The bad news is that I've probably got part of next weekend booked replacing U-joints, as the noise is still there. Other good news, though, is I learned quite a bit taking it apart and getting into the differential. New gear lube in the differential to replace the black "tar" that came out... Another mysterious part of the truck no longer such a mystery... Thanks for the suggestions on replacing the U-joints, David and Les. I will put them to good use next weekend!

I just purchased my truck and joined the list & could not figure how to research the archives so I'll risk asking -- I'd like to hear recommendations on what is a good road tire to provide the best ride. The truck will not be used off-road and will seldom be loaded. I have 16" inch wheels with 8 lugs. The current size is 235-85x16LT I believe. "Sport" recommendations are also welcome. The seller put Sears Trailhandler APTs on that seem to be more of an on/off road tire ( for sale, Central NJ ).

I am real leary of oil pressure problems. I have a fleet and all of them have the problem. I have talked to others more knowledgable than I who say Fords have that low pressure problem. I have a 351m, two 351w's, and one 300 six. I am having a high pressure oil pump put in one right now.

I'm also told that the clutch paks are only good for roughly 30k miles, so if you've got more than that, chances are that your l/s is not doing much. But as I said, I've seen one on a new (at the time) '97 F-150 allow one wheel to spin and the other to just sit there on a mildly slimy hill.
