RE: Longest Satisfactory Use of Easy Lube Axles?
I had problems and I greased it very carefully per instructions. I just put new brakes on and WILL NOT use the EZ-lube again. I also, found a pitted bearing once. You really need to check, these are made in China bearings after all.

RE: Good bye V10. What should be next?
Those shipped to the dealers are just passenger PUs.
:S
The 3.73 gears with the 6 speed is perfect if you are not towing over 10,000 lbs. That said you are correct about not stocking 4.30 geared trucks and that is what the OP needs.

RE: Anybody here got a 2011-2013 2wd F250?
The truck doesn't have a steering stabilizer, do you know if one can be added? If so I would need the brackets as well.
Thanks
No steering stabilizer? :h My signature truck 2wd and 18" tires came with a factory stabilizer. What up with that :h
Not the best picture, but stabilizer is behind sway bar and in front of tie rods.

RE: Running generator on Natural Gas
Golden HVac said it all and is 100% right. pressure and btus.
So how does that help the OP?
His statement doesn't explain how to run on both NG and LPG, which my generator has done many times, it seems to indicate something else.

RE: Running generator on Natural Gas
An orifice is a small hole from which stuff spews forth..
The problem is.. He's not getting enough of the fuel.
It remains that he has it set up for propane, and he's trying to run it on NG, won't work that way.
Yeah I know what an office is:S I don't think they are used on tri-fuel conversions, and from your comments it sounds like you never actually had one of these portable ones. They are not the same a Generac or Onan type generator. That is what the load block is for, to adjust the mixture for LPG or NG.
What type of regulator do you have?

RE: Running generator on Natural Gas
Okay, I experimented a little with the demand regulator and found that when i slightly push the primer button on the regulator, the generator stops surging and runs smooth.
So this means that either the regulator is not working correctly or the carburetor is not producing enough vacuum to draw in adequate gas, right?
you got it

RE: Running generator on Natural Gas
Thanks everyone for the responses. Let me answer the issues raised here,
- The demand regulator has a load block. I had already tried adjusting the load block but it had little effect. It still doesn't run smooth.
- I have tried the primer button on the regulator while starting but to no avail.
- The gas source is the supply line pipe from the Gas company.
- The conversion is similar to commonly called "spud in conversion" that can be found online and also on the uscarb site. I can't find the link right now but on youtube there is a guy who converted a honda generator the same way. The only thing i am unsure about is the diameter and length of the inserted tube and the correct location of the drilling.
-The tube inserted in the carb has the same diameter as the gasoline inlet pipe.
- This sort of setup does work. With some effort i found a guy whose generator was converted the same way and it runs on NG.
So, my current situation is that the generator runs on NG but only on choke stuck midway and dies when loaded more than 20%. It still doesn't start on NG. What do you guys think now?
Could be the spud doesn't allow enough vacumm for the demand regulator to open properly with that small of an engine. Or the regulator itself is not working properly.

RE: Running generator on Natural Gas
I'm curious a to what kind of container you have for natural gas?
If he is like most of us, the container is the natural gas pipe at our house and the gen is used for power outages and ran on natural gas.

RE: leaf springs
Have bought two new leaf springs... there's a band around the leaves on one end... Does that go toward the front or rear, or does it matter... Tks.
For what? not much info.
If its for a trailer I don't think it matters, that is just some kind of indentification info/tag.

RE: Running generator on Natural Gas
You should have specified NATURAL GAS as your fuel, not LP, the orifice size is quite a bit different.
never seen one with an "orifice", all I've seen and used have a adjustment screw.

RE: Running generator on Natural Gas
I have had a tri-fuel gen for years and have run on all three fuels.
You should have a load block adjusment. If the load block is set for propane it will not even start on natural gas unless you enrichen the mixture with the load block adjustment. Natural gas doesn't have as many BTUs at propane, so it needs more gas.
Do you have instructions for the conversion? If you do read them please.

I use wet old bounty dryer sheets (they are free), takes them right off if you don't let them sit for days. Also, takes off road grease/tar spots. Give it a try, you'll like it. :W
