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.

Thanks much for your posts. Really helped me out changing Ball Joints and saving $500, especially the improvised seal seater.
I look forward to learning more from you.

Nice Job on the ball joints. just fininhing side 2 but my quesion is how necessary and how difficult to replace the seal that is inside the hub. not sure if is bad but as long as i have this stinker torn down am wondering if they go bad, i have a 1999 with V-10 and 105k miles. Has the typical (so i am told) engine clatter (been doing this for the last 65,000 miles. in the old days i would have run the tappets but now you don't even want to try to change the plugs. O well. thanks for the fine job.
Admin reply: Thanks for the comments. My seals looked fine really, but I would still replace them. Too much work not to. Pretty easy to do if you have it all torn down. Regards

A very comprehensive site, full of good stuff!
It certainly deserves a BOLD bookmark in every 7.3 owner's browser, and it sure has one in mine!
I appreciate all the time you have put into this project, and your willingness to share. Just taking and formatting the photos HAD to take a bunch of time, not to mention the text.
If your site had "reps", you'd sure get them from me!
My heartfelt thanks for your work!

Just found your site as I was looking for torque values buttoning things up. I am so sorry I did not find your site at the begining of this project.
Great tutorial! And you are right about the time estimate. I could have saved hours on the first side had I read your site first. First side took about 8hrs. second side about 3 hrs.
Keep up the great job!
Kevin
Admin reply: Thanks for the comments, Kevin. Yes, that second side is so much easier.

oops! I just realized that this guest book has been broken for about a month. I wondered why no one was posting.
It is now fixed. I welcome any comments!

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.
Admin reply: Dan, thanks for taking the time to post.
