1987 f250 carb problem

From : Annonymous

Q: both. since the axle disconnects in discussion here only disengage the outer right axle stub from the inner right axle shaft the left axle stays engaged with the differential pinion gears that means that when the vehicle is moving and 4x4 is not engaged the differential pinion gears are still spinning inside the differential case. lock out hubs i wish i could give you a count of the number of lock out hubs ive replaced during my years in gm and ford dealerships but i just never kept a record. i can tell you that in the nine years that i owned my f-150 i replaced the lock out hubs three times because they would corrode from the winter road salt so badly that theyd either leak or you couldnt engage/disengage them anymore. wasnt unusual to spend an hour drilling out the allen bolts that held them together to perform a brake job/bearing pack only to find that theyd still not come apart due to rot and had to be removed destructively. then theres the auto hubs that were used on the bronco ii /ranger/explorer chassis that would fail and when they did the customer would be in fear of driving the vehicle in for service and have it towed. the auto locking hubs used on the gm k-5 and k-10 chassis were just plain useless. you vast experience with one f-150 since when did trucklet parts bronco ii/ranger/explorer gm k-5 and k-10 enter in to this discussion. how many 3/4 & 1-ton real trucks lock out hubs have you seen fail you know damn well not too many. anyone who actually depends on their 4 wheel drive working when its needed instead of buying it as a penis extension can certainly appreciate the simplicity and reliability of not having an added failure point as part of their front drive axle. you have a penis fixation too the more you rave about a nonexistent problem the sillier you look. if shifting a tcase manually or maybe even having to engage hubs like i did for many years is too much for you then get a 2wd. ive never owned anything but manually shifted transfer cases. but that doesnt mean that they dont exist. never said otherwise. but that is what you have implied. the only implications in this thread are snojerks assertions that he has some sort of inside information as to why dodge chose to do something the way they did or the reasons a consumer might choose one version over another. well your position is questionable at best when you lump it together with your asinine assertion that lock out hub dont function exactly as designed with nearly zero failures for well over 100000 miles in 99% of all new 4x4 trucks. my buddies ford has a switch on the dash and iirc tom l also has a switch for the 4wd on his dodge. im happy for both of them. given todays fuel market there is no logic excuse to not disconnect front differentail and drive shaft in 2wd. none! your -opinion-. i would say the opinion of many. could be but they all havent chimed in here... why would they ask them. i wouldnt pretend to answer for the millions of other 4x4 owners out there. if you want the real reason ask the engineer not some washed up has been lawn mower guy. ah i see. it is not whether he is correct or not that matters just your dislike of the guy. i dont dislike the guy or snoman for that matter never met either of them. but snoman does give a disproportionate share of flat out wrong information true and in this case there is no chance that hes anywhere near the position of knowing the real reasons of why a particular design choice was made. actually bean counters have been directing engineering choices in detroit for way too long he is not far off... the point is that it is not the engineers designing this crap it is the accountants determining how to make a few extra pennies of extra profit by cutting back on the engineers designs that makes these decisions. cite again opinion. and as for unknowingly you think its some deep dark secret it doesnt have to be a deap dark secret for people not to be aware of it. if a purchaser is unaware of a particular aspect of the truck theyre buying its their fault for not doing their homework. oh back to the right wing buyer beware huh back to should i reply with; back to the left wing buyers poor choices are the fault of everyone else except themselves the problem with that way of thinking is that it allows for a fuckem if you can mentality which then results in your hated big government. sorry i fail to see the connection between big government and why dodge ram trucks dont have front axle disconnects or lock out hubs and frankly if were a matter of big government to begin with then they would have them in the interest of emissions and energy conservation. and just between you and me; that is starting to look a bit like a lunatic rant funny my friend just returned from a trip to color

have either of you folks come across anything from the folks at srt or star that addresses a fix for the antifreeze problem in the 6.1 engines a guy named bryan moores a tech advisor says that the temp fix is a flush and refill with a additive. have you a copy of that notice or advisory does it exist the question that begs to be asked it what is the long term effect of this putty like stuff becomeing trapped in the cooling system plugged heater core or radiator premature water pump failure result5ing in serious damage to a expensive engine. this problem seems to be isolated to the 6.1 used in the srts only. any light you or info you can provide is appreciated. roy roy i have not heard of or experienced a problem with the coolant on srts. just for fun i just
