Thank you very much.
I stumbled on your site by chance looking for part numbers for a current repair project.I have a 2003 7.3 PSD that I bought new with 220 miles on it and have just rolled 250,000 miles over. I have maintained and preformed all repairs because our local FORD dealer charges suggested retail price on all parts. And has the highest shop rates. ( very small town ) . I have been buying parts on line for years from FORD dealers but have found there sites do not always make it easy to find parts. So do a lot of looking to get ford part numbers as well as looking to build tooling to do the jobs. Wish I would have happened on you page years ago.
Again great site layout and even better information!
Admin reply: Thanks for taking the time to post. Your experience is much like mine. That is how/why I began compiling the numbers. I do all my own work too. I like doing things just so, and therefore prefer to do most things myself.

Excellent ball joint write-up! I'm going to use it as a "guide" to do my 1996 Ford F350 4wd. I will still use my Ford service manuals for exact specs. Also, what model number pullers(posi-lock pullers) did you use? Thanks!
Admin reply: Thanks for your comments, Paul. The big posi-lock puller is a model 213 (25 ton). The small one is a model 204 (2 ton). These pullers are the best! Good luck on your ball joint job.

Thanks for the informative information. I searched long to finally find the information I sought. I couldn't find enough information on the net to compile replacement parts needed to properly perform repairs. Thanks again.

Thanks for all the informative write ups they have been very helpful in repairs and maintenance on my 2001 7.3L. I was checking out your post on the Bilstein shocks and was wondering if the fronts are suppose to be mounted boot side down or does it matter? Most shocks are boot side up. I am getting Bilstein for my truck and just want to make sure. Thanks for your help! John
Admin reply: Thanks for the comments. Yes, the fronts go boots down. Not optional in the case of the shocks I installed.

Wow!, your write ups are amazing. I like many had just stumbled onto your site. I was having a hard time finding the axle seals in the front. That was until I found your site. I do do all my work myself. The axle seal seating tool worked perfectly! Keep up the great work and write ups!
Thanks!,
Adam
