Thanks for the use of your website. I have been using it for a couple of years now and have finally made it my home page. I am intrigued by the Frantz bypass filter and have ordered one for my '01 F250 7.3ℓ. Then it is on to the ball joints.
Best PSD web site out there!

Admin reply: Thanks, Keith. The Frantz filter really is pretty amazing. Good Luck.

Thanks for the thorough, well thought out information. You turned what was a feared hub/wheel bearing replacement into a piece of cake. The homemade tool was perfect!
Thanks again,
Scott
Admin reply: Scott,
You are most welcome. Like most things, if you have a rough idea how to do it, it makes it much easier.
You have a cool email address!

Changed the front hubs and ball joints in my 99 F250 (356k miles) last weekend using your procedure. It went off without a hitch, and I'm not a mechanic by any stretch. I really appreciate the detail you went to in your instructions. I even made the custom axle seal tool! Thanks again for your efforts in providing such a well laid out procedure.
Admin reply: Hi Randy. Thanks for posting. I am glad your ball joint job went well.

Thank you very much for taking the time to break the steps for repairs. A lot of aren't scared to dive off of the deep end and do it. We just get hung up in the process and that's where your site saved me from drowing! I replaced all four of my ball joints and seals in the front end. The parts numbers helped out a lot! Some of these items aren't stocked by the parts stores. Thanks again!
Admin reply: Josh, you're very welcome. I am glad you found my info helpful.

Just changed the ball joints in my 2001 4WD 7.3 liter diesel Ford F250 Superduty using the instructions on your site. Thank you very much,they were flawless. I appreciate your efforts and the removal and install went off without a hitch. I wish there was a more in depth guide somewhere showing how to run down vacuum leaks for the 4wd. My truck has 265,000 miles on it and doesn't use any oil but the front left wheel doesn't engage unless I do it manually. Anyway, not your problem thanks again for what your site does provide, much appreciated.
Admin reply: Thanks for posting, Mitch. I suspect your problem is not a vacuum leak. Usually a vacuum leak would affect both sides. Good luck.

Please buy a 6.0!
Admin reply: Thanks, Brad. I take that as a compliment. It seems like I'll drive this 7.3 forever. I'd love to get a new truck but this one still looks and runs great. I'm missing generations of Super Duty trucks.
