    How to adjust idle speed Ford 7.8l Brazilian

    Brake warning lamp 1991 F800

    Brake warning lamp 1991 F800

    Brake warning lamp 1991 F800

    I've got a 91 F800, L6 Brazilian engine with air brakes, that just got its rear wheel seals replaced. When I got it home I let it idle for a couple minutes and a chime started going off and the right most dash lamp illuminated, after a couple seconds the chime stopped, the lamp dimmed(but was...

    Well there's the entire fuel system. I replaced all the fuel filters a couple months ago and the truck ran fine. As of right now. After I stop pumping the primer, I hear a high squeal coming from something(most likely a line) but I dont see and drops of fuel

    91 F800 fuel delivery

    My ford 7.8l F800 just started shutting off after 15-20 minutes of idling. About a week ago there was a puddle of fuel underneath the fuel/water seperator and thats when this whole issue started. I replaced it, primed it, and the truck started fine but once again it died. Even if I primed it...
