#29 of 71 Question on Borg Warner 1356 by carl5251 Sep 27, 2007 (9:44 am)
Hi Guys/Gals!   I have a BW 1356 transfer case on my 88 F-250 4x4 and I am planning on rebuilding it myself. There is a site that sells videos on rebuilding transfer cases but I don't know which video to get. There are 3 choices: New Process 203, New Process 205, and a New Process 208. Here is the link to the site. http://www.technicalvideos.com/videos/transfercase.phtml   I called them on the phone and the woman who answered the phone could not tell me which video to get. She told me to ask transmission shops or part shops....weird.   Could any of you explain which video I might need or if there is better information available? Thanks in advance.   Carl   Ps: the video is under $30 and I thought I could watch it and then decide if I could tackle the job myself.
#30 of 71 value of a 1965 Ford F100? by ws6mavs41 Dec 28, 2007 (9:47 am)
Is $1,400 a good price for a 1965 Ford F100? It is in good condition with a boss 302 motor, but it does need a radiator and new battery? I'm trying to find out how many miles it has on it, but I don't know as of yet. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Dec 29, 2007 10:37 am)

Get a kit and rebuild it, make sure the kit includes the acc. pump and its set right ! It has to be the carb or the dist. Before you tear apart the dist go get a old one from a junk yard and try it....if that sloves the problem then ya know it was the dist ! My bet is the carb !

Replying to: ws6mavs41 (Dec 28, 2007 9:47 am) Old trucks are not valued quite like old cars---trucks always have a usefulness that is worth something. Since a battery and radiator only cost maybe $300 and are easy to install, I'd say $1700 is fair enough for the truck, presuming it is not a mangled, rusted, beat up old piece of junk.   If the engine is overheating and the seller claims its the radiator's fault, you might not want to take his word for it, and check for a bad head gasket also. But if the radiator is just leaking a lot, then that's the problem obviously.   How are the tires? Truck tires are expensive.

#34 of 71 possible answer to #33 by mrsixpack Jan 29, 2008 (4:45 pm)
This is a tuff one. I know of one guy that this happened to, it turned out to be something wrong with the vacuum modulator in the auto trans. Putting it in gear changed something and it opened the vacuum wide open....or some such thing. Check all the vacuum lines, see if yours has any type of electric or vacuum solenoid/plunger thingy up on the carb that shoul up the idles when placed in gear ! This is tuff so keep playing with it.....bet its something simple like a lose vacuum line etc !
#35 of 71 1988 F150 ignition by maeleoin Feb 08, 2008 (1:23 pm)
1988 Ford F150 ignition. When key is turned, excessive play in the turn and no electrical contact made to spin starter. Examination by mechanic showed battery and connections to be ok, starter to be functioning, solenoid to be ok, starter switch to be ok. Replaced ignition lock cylinder hoping to eliminate looseness in ignition, but discovered that there appears to be side to side movement in the actuator rod leading from the ignition lock down to ignition switch on bottom of steering column.The mechanic found that the truck had been converted to an automatic transmission which probably changed the steering column in some way significant but not obvious. Is there some sort of retaining device or stabilizing retainer for that actuator rod that would prevent sideways movement of the actuator rod (which prevents the spring loaded appearance of the ignition lock from the start position)? Perhaps somewhere hidden just below the ignition lock under the steering column covering? Also, where is the transmission neutral switch located? I suspect that it is either non functioning or perhaps needing adjustment. Is there any other area to investigate that could cause a non start situation?

Replying to: tango35 (Jan 14, 2008 12:28 pm) I used to have a 88 F150 300 six five speed manual. A similar problem turned out to be the secondary ignition module on back of distributor. About 35 dollars to repair. Requires special tool around 5 dollars sold at all parts stores.
