84F250 the line running back to the tank can go bad but it is pretty rare.
I have never actually known of one needing replaced.

Yea, when I did mine I didn't touch the main return line back to the tank. I can't remember off the top of my head, but I think that line is connected to a hard line (?maybe not?) But I'm sure if you had an issue with that u could resolve it seperately. Or maybe just go ahead and knock it out while you're at it to avoid any future "what ifs" or "I wishes". Your single stack rules, by the way. I likes.

Dave, you should make a locked sticky out of it.

Maybe fix the parentheses ")" in 4, and the "g" in 9...

It was a very good write up, Funny, Accurate and to the point!

-Enjoy

Thanks for fixing it Dave I didn't see the mistake until festus pointed it out, and did not know how to fix it.

Festus one g and one) is pretty dayum good for me, especially on something like that one. I keep doing post like that I'm going to get me a sewing thimble.

Thats what I mean, I thought it was outstanding! And not just for you... I was going to do it, I'm glad I didn't now.

Don't think so... You could never give up that pleasant odor of Diesel, It's in your Veins!

-Enjoy
