need a part# for a 1981 ford f350 w/5.8
i need the lower clutch release rod part# please my book only goes to 72.......

 

I believe you want this:

E0TZ-7521-A Clutch Release Rod

But not 100% sure...

Goes from the Clutch Pedal Bellcrank through toeboard to Equalizer Bar

I'm going to have numberdummy do a check on this though.

 

OP sez this is the rod he needs:

E3TZ-7521-A (replaced EOTZ-7521-B) .. Clutch Release Rod-From Equalizer Bar to Clutch Fork / Obsolete

D3TZ-7A504-A .. Extension-Clutch Release Rod / Use with E3TZ-7521-A / Obsolete

Prior years (1965/79), the extensions came with the rods. Dunno about 1980/83, cuz the parts catalog doesn't say one way or t'other.

Applications: 1980/83 F100/350, Bronco & Econoline.

E3TZ-7521-A =

KLIMESH MOTOR SALES in Calmar IA has 1 = 563-562-3241.

WESLEY OBSOLETE PARTS in Liberty KY has 1 = 606-787-5293.

EOTZ-7521-B =

BOWMAN SALES & SERVICE in Bowman ND has 1 = 701-523-3257.

D3TZ-7A504-A =

GREEN SALES CO. in Cincinnati OH has 9 = 800-543-4959.

CARPENTER NOS OBSOLETE PARTS in Concord NC has 24 = 800-476=9653.

Do not buy this extension, before asking who you buy the rod from...if it comes with it.

NOTE: Look at the rod (E0TZ-7521-A) from the clutch pedal to E-bar...has two 90 degree ends.

The two nylon bushings (D8TZ-7526-B) disintigrate, the ends of the rods begin to crack, eventually snap off. Not pleasant!

 

Thanks Bill,

 

Been meaning to ask, why all the hyphens?

 

the lower one as stated...... from z bar(bellcrank) to clutch fork

 

hey dummy how do you like the 5.0 in your truck?
ive got an 07 with a 5.4 and am thinking of getti a new one just dont know if i wanna do the ecoboost or the 5.0

 

Runs like a striped azzed ape.

The 5.4L I had in my 2004 Lariat's get up and go...got up and went.

Consider: How long will the Eco Boost 216 cid V6 last in a truck that weighs almost three tons...without driver, passengers, mutts and cargo?

Be prepared for sticker shock! The elephantine behemoth in my sig pic was $39,990.00 MSRP. Another member is thinking about a similar truck, but with Eco Boost, 4WD and other stuff: $59,000.00!

Edited in sources/phone numbers in post #3.

 

ohh im aware alright..... not sure how long id keep the new one for either as i bought this one new and it was 42000. only has 31000 miles as of right now. been a good truck though

 

thanks again btw!!!

 

It keeps things interesting.

I don't remember why actually as it's been eight years ago.

My 1973 did this to me twice in it's life. The 1981 so far, knock on wood. However since you mention it, I have heard a new noise from my clutch linkage in just the past month that comes and goes. Going to inspect it for this very thing.
