hey been here awhile and just got my new rig


couple of questions though i need to replase the 3-4 shift fork can i do this without removing the trans (zf-5) and i have a fuel leak at the rear of the moter (7.3) where should i look for this leak?
95 powersmoke 7.3 zf-5 thank you

 

idk about either ??? but nice looking rig...

 

thanks! it needs some here and there stuff but since i traded an 85 f350 4x4 rear dually conversion cc for it i wont complain!!

 

idk about the tranny ? but the fuel leak is most likely the lift punp or fuel pump i bet it is coming from the weep hole in the pump u need a mirror to see it its on the bottom

 

bummer thats not what i was hoping for are there any fuel retun lines there that i sould check also? thank you for your help

 

Start lookin' for the fuel leak in the darkness of the valley of no return.(top) Mop it dry, use a GOOD flash light and mirror and go for it. Is it leaking from the rear passenger side?

I don't have the answer to your tranny question. Someone will jump in with it though.

if i remember correctly its driver side rear of the motor

 

Nice rig, those stacks are painting the front of your 5er huh? The only downside to hauling with a diesel in the rain....the side of my toy hauler gets that way too.

x2 what Rog says, its probably the Fuel pump. Could be the filter housing too, ie. drain lever, sensors on the filter housing, fuel lines ect.....but close inspection of the engine valley should find it.

The trans needs to come out to replace the shift forks.

 

thanks for the help this is my first powerstroke i had an idi so i didnt know the pump etc was in back thanks for all your help
