Been fighting this truck for 2 months trying to get it started, ( damn diesel junk), anyway from what I can trace down it looks like the electric transfer pump is out. -- It is mounted under the cab, inside the frame rail, ( lovely place amonst the salt crap), and after some research I find it has the stupid "snap connectors" on the hoses going to it.--- well it takes a special tool to remove them, and I doubt that they will budge!--- Looks like a lot of dirt hanging under there like maybe small fuel leak ?
Tried to get a guy to fix it,---That was 2 weeks ago, never heard for him so I assume he don't want to mess with it either. I need some ideas of how to deal with these stupid fittings!-- I watched a video on changing one, but that guy had the special tool that I don't have and he didn't do a nasty pump. thanks ; sonny

No dimensions but Summit Racing has a good listing and it looks like this might be the right parts.
NAPA also sells Dorman parts,-- probably higher there dont know.
Anyway if ya would double check my findings I would be greatfull!

I've been surprised that lately NAPA has actually been cheaper
than others on some stuff here lately. have to adapt to competition or fold I guess

never give up, the parts ARE out there,just gotta find the combination that will work. I saw a complete 97 chassis cab in a Calif. yard was sellijng the Sterling dually rear out of it, the parts truck probably just what Sonny is looking for..(eBay#175469777683) -just torch cut the whole back of the truck off set it on your trailer turn and burn back to IL,talk about road trip..sometimes that is what it takes.I know easy for me to say..Call some of these yards local they usually pull the axles and sadly crush the rest, maybe they'd make you a deal. the dually axles and suspension are narrower than the regular pickups..another idea, maybe measure the frame width and adapt a more recent axle,spring and spring hanger setup as long as it's still using 8x6.5 lug pattern before Ford switched to the newer hub piloted wheels..

Ok one last stab at this is a guy in Oaktown,IN with a 1988 Ford F350 cab/chassis selling the rear axle,its a Sterling like yours call him maybe he can give you some info on spring hangers/parts 765-409-3047

you might have to make a 310 shaft Sonny..I had an old Truckman forklift,it had a BorgWarner reverser box in it and had to make an idler shaft and bushings for it as no one had stock..I bought the last idler gear available in the USA to repair it..probably coulda parted it out and made money off it LOL

Yeah it sounds like you might have an issue with a harness that connects the transmission to the ECM one of those wires is broke it's going to shift in its hydraulic mechanical mode, which is whenever it feels like it if it feels like it. All got to do with pressures and temperatures and unreliable. I like that better when the transmissions weren't connected to a computer.
