Good afternoon, Greg. It is a noise caused by an engine accessory.The noise sound level increases with the engine rpm's.The idler pulley/idler was replaced a month ago, and it still did it.power steering pump was just replaced, and it still does it. I am putting money on the air/vacuum pump...

Ryder replaced the power steering pump and that wasnt the problem, then they said the checkbook is officially closed for this van.I think I squeezed enough blood out of this turnip.It was only a 30-day warranty.It ended saturday. now it is time to put it to work, I hope.

Yes, I appreciatte that.I'm going to run all the tires at 80 psi, what is stamped on the tire.I'm at ryder now, and they are trying to find out what is making that whirring noise (kinda like a low -fluid power-steering pump noise).they just replaced the power steering pump,and it is still doing...

Even though the wires (romex) was only hot when I was parked with either the shore power or generator going through it, I understand what you are saying.I appreciatte that. So far, no fires or anything. But I willl warn everybody of the possible risk.

I appreciate all of this info.Yes, they are LT tires. I do prefer the ride of having 80 psi in the front tires. 60 seems to give it a squrrly kind of feeling in the front. And youre right, greg,nothing worse than being on the side of the road and not being able to get the lug nuts off .That is...

I was at the tire shop this morning getting my new tires re-balanced because of a slight vibration.The side of the tire says 80 psi, but yet the tire shop told me to follow the factory sticker on the door jamb,from my 03 e-350, which says 80 psi rear,60 psi front. So who is right? I remember...

I did the same thing to my t-300 with a 26' box. it cost me a grand and took me a week.it was sweet, alot better constructed and insulated than the crap that is out here now.it had a separate entrance/screen door on the right front corner,windows on the left wall.the opening has to be at least...

What, no one else has anything to be thankful for?

Yes. they are an excellent co. to work for. I have considered driving for them in the past, until they started requiring teams only.too bad.I have never heard anything bad about them, either.

I actually had a similar thing like that happen too me.Back in the day, my drinking days.I went out drinking the night before and put down quite a bit.Well anyway, the next morning I went outside to change the head gasket on my 1970 Ford pickup with a 300 straight six in it. Does anyone know how...

Did anyone have them on their cargo van before? What I mean, is there a noticeable difference on a cargo van? is it in mileage,handling, or both.I'd put them on if I knew for sure they worked.

Or another embarrassing moment was when I was going in the Petro to take a shower.It seems that from the truck to the counter at the Petro where I had to get the shower key the lid had come off of the can of shaving cream inside the duffel bag.So when I went to pick it up from the duffel bag...

In my own little dream world,I am known as the gangster of love, the Italian stallion, The theive of hearts,The pomputus of love, and last, but not least, Thunder lips!! Me telling my girlfreind this is a great way to make her laugh uncontrollably after a bad day at her office.

I'll be the first to start this.I will do most anything for a laugh,or to get people to laugh.But this really happened in texas. And was totally unplanned.I was in a laundromat doing laundry. And on this particular morning there were quite a few beautiful mexican women doing their laundry...

Ya, I caught that also.Now it is time to stop laughing.I wonder if that is a toledo thing?

I wonder if that free grill comes with a reese hitch option.I'd love to pull it behind my van. As far as the bugs are concerned, squirt about 4 squirts of dishwashing soap such as joy or dawn into your windshild washer reservoir along with prestone bug wash or rain-x windshield fluid and you...

As you all know, I bought my van from Ryder.It was the best thing I have done in awile.From what others on this site have advised me to do, I will be adding new leaf springs , adding a leaf also. did the front springs already.I have been told to add a trans. cooler also, but I noticed there is...

What am I thankful for? My girlfreind Debby,who has been extremley patiet and understanding through this transformation in my life that I am going through.I am thankful for her excellent cooking,and always warm and never-ending tender ways of sharing herself with me. She is such a blessing to me...

I must say that this is my first 7.3, and I love it.17.6 mpg in the city.It does run strong, with 180,000 on it. uses no oil.My brother and everyone else strongly advised me NOT to get the 6.0.So that is why I went with the 03 model.My van has the 4:10 gear ratio,but I wonder how much better the...

Put a voltgauge to the alt and see what it reads.it should be just a hair more than the gauge reads.if it ever does not want to start but only makes a clicking noise like when a ford soleniod goes bad, look on the firewall, passanger side. there is a soleniod there with 4 wires going to it that...
