I suggest you open a new thread in the '78 forum further down the page. This is large truck, not F250. Also, specify what you are looking for, and if you like list your VIN and the warranty plate info.

1997 F-800 Info request please

I recently purchased this 1997 F-800 thru an auction.


The door plate is as follows:
Date:07/96 9727A
GVWR: 2600 LB / 11793 KG
VIN: 1FDNF80C4VVA19590
Tire F/R: 10RX22.5F / 10RX22.5F
RIMS F?R: 22.5X7.5 / 22.5X7.5
PSI (KPA) Cold Frnt: 100 (689) Rear: 100 (689)
EXT Paint: BW DIST: 53 DSO:Blank
WB: 225 Type_GVW F80260 Body: 8 Trans: DE Axle: JC
ON FGAWR 7000LB RGAWR 19000LB


I was told by the nearest Ford Truck dealership that this F-800 had a Eaton-Fuller 5 spd and Rockwell 2 spd rear end.


In driving it home I discovered the following:
1) Speedometer was registering 75 mph in 5th gear and high side, with my foot on the floorboard, but my garmin and my son following in his car verified that I was only doing 55 mph on the down hills. This made a long trip without cruise control...Foot to the floor and my hand on my knee to keep the pedal to the floor.


2) PTO was removed by a previous owner but all of the other equipment is present to raise the 14 ft flatbed.


I need to do something to reduce the rpm's on the 5.9L Cummins to get around 1800 - 1900 rpm's so I'm needing help deciding the route to take either replacing the rear jug or transmission.

I am also finding out that Chelsea no longer offers a manual PTO for the Eaton-Fuller FS-5205A with an external PTO pump which this truck has. I know one can be built but I need to decide if I'm going to replace the tranny before I take that step.




Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Here's the door plate from the 1988 truck:

Here's a pic of the 1990 door sticker...thought I took a pic of the data plate, but I guess I didn't:

Bump....anybody?

At the present time, I cannot decode anything newer than 1989, as microfiche viewer bulb burned out. New bulb on the way, as "She who must be obeyed" ordered it online.

Need part

I need a fuel sending unit for an 89 f250 7.3 idi diesel. This is for the rear tank behind the axle. My fuel gauge doesn't work and it's because the sensors are bad on the sending unit. I can't find one anywhere. I am in the Columbus, Ohio area

Thanks

This is the LARGE TRUCK forum (F500 and etc), ask your question in the 1987/96 forum, or the Parts Wanted forum.

I need Info

Hello NumberDummy !

I hope you have regained your ability for later model trucks.

Can you give me some help with this 1998 F700 ?

VIN 1FDNF70J2WVA02362

Door Tag Info

It is my opinion unusual:

Incomplete Vehicle Manufactured by Ford Motor Co
Date 3/97 GVWR : 25900
yada yada normal tire and VIN stuff
Then

EXT Paint: RC: 87 DSO:
WB TYPE-GVW BODY TRANS AXLE
255 F70259 8


Truck is Yellow and if it was painted, it was Painted Yellow Everywhere which is confusing with the WB code as I assume that means a White of some sort.
I'm talking , factory type yellow door jams, inner door panels , ect ect.
Door ID tags rivited over the yellow.
My thinking is that the truck was a contract vehicle or CPO for maybe Penske.

Either way , Transmission info ? Axle ?
The info above is all there is.

TIA
