Yes I have. I finally got that situated where it doesn't rub. It's been doing it a few months. I am at a loss what else it could be besides cab mounts

 

You are from the salt belt like me, it could be mounts judging from the video.

 

I cursed at the #7 injector that evidently took a dump today.

 

i dont get why its always #7 that goes on these engines... makes no sense...

 

low fuel pressure kills injectors, 7 & 8 are the last in line for fuel. Blue spring upgrade, regulated return or a bigger fuel pump like FASS/AirDog for cleaner fuel at a higher pressure... pretty simple really.

 

I will be doing the Blue Spring upgrade and replacing the injector, hopefully it'll be the last break/fix I will have to do for a while. Parts on this truck are killing me.

 

One hint. Use the shortest extensions you can if you have to use one.
Then get a good solid Torx bit. The long Apex type tend to wrap up too
much and you get a lower torque value that you need.

So I guess the idea I am trying to get across is stout tools so you don'y
have any twist in the tool as you torque it. I found out the hard way
about too much flex in the tool shaft.

I did my own hot flush on the transmission today. Worked out pretty good too. It probably would've been a lot less of a pain in the **** if I had just found a place to do it for me but I couldn't find anything close, plus I just wanted to see how it would turn out.

 

put my first bottle of opti-lube in the truck... will see how this stuff does...

 

Had my first survive done on my new to me F250 along with fuel filters. Yeah I paid a bit more to have the dealership do it, but the courtesy shuttle and lack of lost weekend are worth it.

 

Ordered my blue spring kit for my birthday!!!

 

It has been epic in my 7.3! Best stuff on the market I think.

 

Sometimes when you don't have the time or some odd tool or just plain
can't it can be a lot less to hire it out to the dealership and you still save money
by having the job done and the what ever you had to deal with taken care of.

And your right about the time to set aside. Little jobs the first time in can take
a bit more time than planned.
