I will try to make a safe setup to do the test and get back to you.

I'm not sure. Since I'm the only guy who knows how to drive manual I can only hear it inside the cab. It could very well be. I've never had the transmission apart but how intensive is the process to fix that If that's the case? What could cause this to happen in the first place? Plus, this noise...

I'm scared afraid of putting a vehicle in gear while on stands so I can't do that test but I did as you said while driving it and pulling on the brake didn't seem to make a difference. What I have noticed is that the sound seems to intensify when the clutch is applied and is very intermittent...

It is a floating axle rear. Diff fluid is full with 90w but I don't know if that's what is supposed to be in there.

Hello Folks, I have a 1955 f-350 with a 239CI Y-block V8 and 4 speed silent synchro transmission. The rear end is a simple differential and does not have any gears unlike the heavier trucks such as the f-750 etc. My issue is a strange squealing/whining noise that occurs when coasting from about...

My suspicion is that...

Hi all, I have a 1955 F-350, I use it a lot to get work done around the neighborhood. Unfortunately whenever I drive it for more than 30 minutes or so it begins to sputter and chug like it's running out of fuel, it's strange because I made sure all the lines are clean and the gas tank is brand...

It is a pressure switch for a gauge yes. single prong not 2 terminals. 78 psi cold start drops to around 47-50 at op temp.

I tried to find one but they don't exist NOS.....

I have resurrected a very solid 1955 F-350, this truck has the old 239 V8 "Y block". I had an oil leak after rebuilding the engine and suspected the oil sending unit to be the fault, I replaced the sender with a new one and it is now indicating backwards (as the engine revs pressure drops). the...
