A friend just told me that I may not be able to adjust my toe-in. I have a 2000 F-250 4x4 PSD Super Duty truck. I looked under there (not too closely) and just assumed toe-in would be adjustable. Any specs on overall toe-in numbers?
I just bought this truck and really love all that power!
This site is great.
I have a 93 F-250 (5.8L) that WAS my workhorse, never more cried the raven.

 

Yes the toe is adjustable. Is the truck pulling to one side? Why do you want to adjust the toe? If I were you I would take my truck to a reputable alignment shop to have them dial her in, because if it is a little out of spec you could be making a trip to the tire store and alignment shop.

 

When I bought the truck, I was in a rush cuz we were going to haul our new toy hauler and my 5.8L F-250 wasn't cuttin it. Needless to say I sallowed a few bullets buying this truck. The steering had excessive play and made it a handful when towing the trailer. I first thought that the tie rod end to the pitman arm was worn out and tried to get that part before the trip. We live in an isolated town and couldn't get the part in time. After surviving the trip, I took my time and looked closer at problem and found that much of the play was in the steering box. After reading the official alignment procedures, I decided to due the "racetrack" alignment and I think it's close without too much preload???
After driving it, the truck seems "undecided" when driving straight and the steering wheel movement to correct it is minimal. Hence, checking the toe-in. Which I did last nite (again, racetrack alignment) with a toe stick. I know it's crude, but it gives an idea where I'm sitting. The measurement came out to approx. 3/16" toe-in. Not sure what the spec calls for.
Also, it's my first big 4x4 (and diesel) in a long time and not sure if the steering feeling is normal for these trucks.
I also saw the monster of a turn buckle for toe-in adjustment. I think my friend was cunfusing it with caster/camber, which does look like a bear for Ford I-beam trucks.
I still say that Fords are one of the best towing vehicles around and I'm starting to Love this truck (still kinda attached to my 93' F-250, yes I 'm tearing up over Old Blue).
Thanx for the reply, I know my questionwas a boner one.

 

You can easily adjust your toe in. Just loosen the bolts and you might have to use a pipe wrench to turn the adjustment, that's what I had to do (before I took it to the shop). When I got my truck, I could tell the camber was off, the tire wear showed it too, and the steering was loose. Replaced all the tire rods, from pitman arm and between both tires. Took it to the local shop to have it aligned and they said it was within specs, camber and everything, but I wasn't happy. Took it to the Ford dealership, and surprisingly they fixed it. You can adjust the camber on them, which I didn't know could be done on a straight axle. I think the kingpins on the spindle are mounted on an ellipitical mounting, so it can be turned to adjust for camber.

 

Roaky81 have checked the play in your gear box? Also does your truck have a steering stabilizer shock? I know over time I had to adjust my gear box and replace my steering stabilizer shock because my truck would road walk.

 

Where to begin, I looked again and I don't have a steering stabilizer shock, just an empty stationary mount bracket. Do all the 4x4 Heavy Duty' come with one? I'll look around for one to install.

I've adjusted the steering box and it's alot better, except a very slight "wander" feel. Probably due to the missing stabilizer.
