Evening, I have 4 questions for y'all.

1: Who makes the best all around repair manual for a 1993 f250 (see sig if more detail needed)?

2: How do I get window stickers and bumper stickers off?

3: What is the best way to bring rusty chrome back to life? (see pic, some is worse around the mirrors).

4: My engine causes the entire truck to vibrate, pretty darn well (351W + 5 speed manual ZF S5-42 manual I think). Its always been that way for as long as I can recall. But It felt like it got worse yesterday, could an engine mount be broken? Or????

 

I can help with the sticker removal.

Use: heat gun on low or a blow drier, flat razor scraper, a spray bottle with water.

Heat the sticker (that releases the glue on the sticker), use the razor scraper at a very slight angle, lift the sticker off with the scraper, use some water from the sprayer so you don't scratch the glass.

Best of luck.

 

1. Ford.
2. Use a heat gun or hair dryer to peel the top vinyl layer off and then clean the glue off with GooGone.
3. If the chrome on these trucks is rusted the parts are done.. replace them.
4. That isn't normal. Do you get vibration when the truck is stationary and engine is running or just when the truck is moving?

 

Just when idling. Not while moving. Its worse after a trip of any distance, start up and let it idle not too bad but after a trip it gets worse.
Its not a shake the truck apart rattle, its mild but its there.

 

Look at classifieds and Ebay for a Ford shop manual, I don't think you will find them at a dealer any more as this vintage truck has long been classed as obsolete.

As for the vibration, do a compression check and give it a tuneup with new plugs and wires.

 

Ford Pick-ups and Bronco Repair Manual covering Ford full-size pick-ups F-100 thru F-350 and Bronco for 1980 thru 1996 and 1997 F-250HD and F-350 (Gasoline engines only)
Ill probably order that one since it gives me the basics of what I need to know.

The truck recently had a tune up with comp. checks, plugs, whole nine yards. Hence the reason I suggested a broken engine mount.

 

Do NOT use a razor blade to take stickers off of paint. You'll take paint with it. A razor blade on glass won't hurt anything if you're at a real shallow angle and you're careful.

 

1. Haynes or Chiltons
2. Peanut butter
3. Coca-cola
4. Motor and/or trans mounts

Oh wait, that was my grocery list....sorry.

 

Lol close counts

 

Well, I put a haynes manual on order.

There are stickers on the inside window, and on the rear bumper.

If its an engine or tranny mount boy oh boy....

 

Window stickers you can do with a razor blade. If it's a chrome bumper pick at it with a plastic knife and a gas soaked rag.

If plastic bumper, hit local parts store and buy tar and sap remover.

 

Would acetone work instead? Im sure it would but maybe gasoline is more effective...

Its chrome.
