I was going by an old 'Peterson's Big Book' on mine; not sure but I would
imagine the Ford manual would list it.

Essentially a spring scale on the steering wheel to measure effort and a
torque wrench for tightening.

I'm still wondering about one in the shop a week or two ago. Came in wanting
a tire repaired and a 'doughnut' on the right rear; noticed a hole in front of
the wheel well and pulling out the flat tire saw a hole in it and a good bend
in the rim. Customer declined a new tire and drove away on the doughnut. NO
ONE in the shop was willing to test drive this car anywhere! The angle
was wrong for all the holes to line up so we suspected buck shot.

Maybe another hunting trip? or not.. thinking about just keeping the hole in
the hood, but i would like to at least get a tailgate that didnt look like a
hotdog bun.

Subject: burning brake line

hey all
Seems the rig (79 F250 HD) had some problems yesterday. And I'm not
quite sure what's up, maybe someone has some insight.
I was out 4-wheeling for a couple hours, playing around in the mud,
did a little power braking standing on the pedal and burning the tires in
2wd. well later on I got up a real nasty hill , and when I crest the top I
notice that hte pedal is really soft and there's some smoke under the hood.
GEt out, pop the hood and the two steel brake lines runnning down from the
master cylinder are hot as hell, in fact they got to be glowing red and a
little flame (1/2") actually started on one of them, I'd imagine that was
oil burning off. So, put ot the flame and douse the lines with water to
cool them. LEt sit for awhile, then test them, and the brakes are
practically gone, they go all the way to the floor and then finally do a
real shitty job of stopping me. We added a lil brake fluid, and I drove
home, but the situation did not seem to get any better. thank god for low
gears and compression braking.
My thought is that it may have something to do with the power brakes > booster. The flexible brake lines fdrom the frame to caliper were cool too.
Any one have any thoguhts, I could really use some input. I don't want to
start replacing parts that may not be replacing. oh yeh, for reference in
terms of what I was stopping, truck has 38" gumbos. thanks in advance.
Chris Reilly
