Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Slow Leak Coming From Rear Main Seal

If I use ATP AT-205 stop leak to stop a slow leak coming from the rear main seal, will it last a long time? And if it stopped working eventually, would adding more stop the leak again?

Also, I'm going to have the transmission out anyway, so how many hours would it probably take to just replace the seal at that point? And someone told me some seals were two halves that fit together as one, and others are just all one piece. Is that true? It would seem to me that a two piece seal like that would start leaking prematurely.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2002 F250 - Second 110V Plug Coming Out Of The Grill

Just picked up a 2002 F-250 Super Duty. I have a second 110V plug coming out of the grill. The first, on the drivers side, I know is for the block heater through the oil filter housing. The second is attached to a device that is inline of the lower coolant hose. Is this a warming device also?

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Grinding Noise At Slow Speeds - Clunk When Coming To A Stop?

Every once in a while, while driving my 06 350 SRW at slow speeds, I hear a grinding noise coming from the left side of the truck. It is almost like a winding grinding noise if that makes sense. It will grind slow to a stop, and then I hear a clunk.

This is a very intermittent problem. The tires are completely shot on the truck, and I thought that would be it, but considering it is intermittent and the clunk I hear as I come to a stop I figured it could be it.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2012 - Removal Of Plastic Tailgate Cap?

Looking to sell my '12 F-250 turbo diesel Lariat. She's in great condition, and only 8000 miles. Her only sore point is some scratches and scuffs on the plastic cap on the top edge of the tailgate (see picture below). I think it's part # BC3Z-9940602-B.

How to remove this cap, preferably without breaking/scratching anything else. It looks like there are no external fasteners, so I'm guessing it's just held on with clips on its underside, or some such. It might be more obvious once I get and examine the replacement part, but just figured I'd ask.

Was the plastic exterior trim on my 01 F250 originally black or grey? I was thinking of repainting the running boards, side mirrors, door handles, front bumper trim and bed trim with that Dupicolor bumper black. Want to make sure and keep it factory in appearance.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Slight Burning Plastic Smell / Engine Compartment Heat Shield Falling Down?

Recently purchased a CPO 2009 F250SD 6.4L. Happy with the truck overall but this AM I noticed a slight burning plastic smell so I opened the hood and looked around closely. Didn't really find the culprit(I don't think) but noticed that the engine compartment heat shield/barrier appears to be falling down above and behind the turbos (pictures linked below). How big a deal is this? Would it be covered under the CPO warranty? It almost seems like a safety issue. I also wonder if the insulation material, now exposed without the metal reflector material, is what is causing the smell....

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Plugs Covering Holes In Plastic Piece Missing - Truck Wrecked Previously?

Bought a dealer demo last may. Truck has been wonderful. Had less the 1500 miles on it. Noticed when I was installing the lock on my tailgate that some of the plugs that cover up the holes in the plastic piece inside the tailgate were missing. Maybe some of the screws, not sure. Dunno if it's supposed to be that way or what. Just started to get a horrible feeling about it, Taft maybe something major happened. Any way to find out or round they have told me? Mebbe I'm over thinking this.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2008 F250 Has Been Slow Going Uphill

Last few months my 08 F250 has been slow going up hills. The fluid checks out ok and it shifts fine.

It just seems to take forever to get up hills. Has 124K....

Also has a huge hissing noise thats RPM dependent on the passenger side. Will make the sound in neutral just revving.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: F450 Revs Up But Drives Very Slow

I have a 1999 F450 Diesel dump truck. Automatic. The problem that I have is that the truck will drive VERY SLOWLY while the rps go up.

You can hear the engine revving up, and a strong air sound when doing so (do not know if intake or exhaust, but its like a strong wind sound. And not like a hiss, so I do not think its a vacuum leak).

The transmission goes through gears fine, but it does the rev up thing through every gear. So I am wondering if something like the torque converter might be broken or slipping.

For example, if you go with the loaded truck up a hill, you have to really push it to keep any type of speed. Or when you get off a red light.

When I bought it used, I thought that it might have a really short final gear. But that would not explain the high RPM and no push.....

No codes at all.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2008 F350 - Slow Cranking When Hot

I have an 08 f350 lariat with the 6.8 with 66000 miles. A month ago took it to the dealer with a plugged catilityc converter. All covered under warranty. Got the truck back, starts great when cold including 18 degrees the other morning. I drive 7 miles to work, shut it off and restart, it acts as if the starter is struggling to turn the engine over. Once it cools off, starts fine again. I took it back to dealer, they replaced the starter. No change. Took it back again, they replace battery. Cranks a little faster, but you can tell it's still struggling. It always starts, I'm just wondering how it will be when it's 80 out and in pulling my 9000lb camper....

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Rear End Wobble At 40 - 50 MPH Until Speed Up Or Slow Down?

Ive had this 2009 F250 4x4 Super Crew, 6.4 for 2 years now. Bought it the way it sits with a 6" ProComp lift and 37" Yokohama Open Countrys. Recently, once I get up to 40-45 mph, the rear end starts vibrating violently until I speed up or slow down. There isn't any clanking noise and it's silent. I look in the mirrors to see if it's the tires but they appear to be rotating smoothly. It's never done this before. It's like a tire is out of balance but it shakes much harder than that should be at that speed. It rides smooth as can be at any other speed all the way up to 80 mph which is the faster than i drive. What this could be? I've done searches but can only find info on the front end death wobble which is not the case here.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: A/C Does Not Cool At Slow Speed And Low RPMs

2006 F250 6.0L CC Lariat with Climate Control

- 1st Start in morning, AC Blows cold.
- Run it down the Interstate AC Blows cold.
- Get back into traffic, slow speed, low RPM, AC doesn't cool.

Is this likely the clutch going South or low Freon perhaps? At higher RPMs, 1000+ seems to work good. At idle, when hot, not so much. Just looking for possibilities.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2005 - How To Get The Spark Plug Out Of Cylinder 4

How to get the spark plug out of cylinder #4. I have the kit to take out the base of the plug out of the head if it breaks off. But I can't get the plug out. I think the plug broke off but not the electrode. So the electrode is caught up in the porcelain tip of the plug. It's pretty tight back there with the a/c lines and fuel rail and other stuff. I tried needle nose but they just don't grip it right, to get enough force to pull it. These are the plugs with the extended tips.
