Couple problems

Hi everyone, Thanks for the ad. I recently bought an old U haul f350 with a 7.3 diesel. Runs great after some normal maintenance done on her. However, I cant keeo the altinater and vaccum bolts tight on the thing. I would like to just replace them all but cannot find anywhere that has bolt size specs. Anyone on here have that handy you could share with me ? ALSO, I replaced the headlight bulbs and now it runs low beams on high and nothing on low. Any clues there . Many thanks for any help you can send my way. BTW, I did use bolt locker ( or whatever it is called ) on all of the bolts.

A website that sells genuine Ford parts will have parts diagrams that you can print. If it doesn't tell you the sizes at least you can write on it as you find the info. Make sure you aren't missing spacers, mounts, braces or some little parts of the mounts. Write down the torque specs too.

I suspect something is missing here. We're not getting the whole picture.
