Do you take the little plastic protectors off of those ball joints for you install them. Sorry I just couldn't resist. I can only hope you're laughing.

I just finished putting in new steering ball joints and even tie rods in my new-to-me-but-really-old-to-anyone-else-with-half-a-brain 1996 F-250. I bought the truck for cheap but am discovering that this is turning into almost a project truck. Anyway, I did it and it was't so bad on this ancient body of mine. Then the alignment shop told me the big ones on the wheel hubs are gone, too. Those I didn't want to do, so I'm having the shop do them at considerable expense. Moog all the way through, although I'm almost sure they come from China.

Can anyone tell me where the coolant sending unit is located on this thing? The gauge isn't reading!

Coolant temperature sensor is in the front cover, to the right (pass. side) of and about even with the top of the water pump. This is a 1995 front cover . . .

Did they say why they were wrong? Seems to me they won't fit if they were wrong. Or did you change the adjustment nut? Still seems that's the only thing that could be wrong.
