Front Hub - 1991 F350 4x2 Dually - How To Tell If Wheel Bearings Are Bad?
Gotcha, but if the spindle nut is loose, that could be the issue instead of worn bearings, right? Pretty sure prior owner said he replaced the ball joints. Thanks- bulletpruf

Front Hub - 1991 F350 4x2 Dually - How To Tell If Wheel Bearings Are Bad?
So I brought Brownie to the shop last week to get it aligned. They said they couldn't align it because it was too sloppy and said I needed new wheel bearings. I bought new wheel bearings and races, but I'd rather not change them out if I don't have to. I'm assuming I can just remove the hub...- bulletpruf

Just posted a video of the latest - soup bowl delete, new wheels and tires (Hankook Dynapro AT2), engine oil and filter change, fuel filter change, CDR valve change (turned into a complete fiasco!), ZF5 oil change, Sterling 10.25 rear differential oil change, new vent tube and breather on the...- bulletpruf

Shocks for 1991 F350 DRW Rear Wheel Drive Stock Height - Bilstein 5100?
I'm in the market for some shocks for Project Brownie and had hoped to get Bilstein 5100, but unless I'm mistaken, they're not available in this configuration - 1991 F350 DRW Rear Wheel Drive Stock Height. I'm seeing 4x4 shocks and lifted shocks, but nothing for stock height RWD. Anyone have...- bulletpruf

New-to-me rear bumper has had the front side wire wheeled, blasted, and painted. Still need to do the backside.- bulletpruf

Didn't think about the rock issue! A 4x4x4 stuck between the tires must have caused quite a racket!!!- bulletpruf

Yeah, I guess it does look tempting to the uninitiated.- bulletpruf

Yeah, the D60 swap is a bit of an ordeal. If I want a DRW IDI ZF5 4x4 crew cab, I just need to start with a SRW IDI 4x4 ZF5 crew cab and add a dually bed and hubs. I like the idea of keeping it NA for now, but maybe with an upgraded pump and injectors. I'd like to do some spot painting on...- bulletpruf

Picked up a used rear bumper a few days ago. Hope to get some paint on it today.- bulletpruf

I think you're right, but I'll double check just for peace of mind. Thanks- bulletpruf

1991 F350 Crew Cab Diesel Dually Build - Project Brownie...
So, I got underneath the truck to change the oil a few days ago and it looks like someone did some off-roading at some point. I'm a bit concerned that the oil pump pickup is too close to the bottom of the pan. Think I'm going to drain the oil out and stick an inspection camera in there to see...- bulletpruf

Already removed and sold. It wasn't the correct one for the truck so it was welded on and I'm not a big fan of that. I sourced a stock front bumper but may scuff it and paint it black so it will match the wheels and the rear bumper that I sourced for it.- bulletpruf

1991 F350 Crew Cab Diesel Dually Build - Project Brownie...
The first order of business was to do something about the rolling stock - mismatched dry-rotted tires on stock steel wheels. I think shiny Alcoa's would look silly on an old ranch truck but I wanted something a bit better than the beat up stock steel wheels without breaking the bank, so I...- bulletpruf

After I sold my previous project truck (Brutus - 87 F350 CCLB DRW 4x4 7.3 IDI-T ZF5) it was only a matter of time before I found another one. Anyway, once I moved home to Texas, I found a nice 7.3 IDI powered crew cab dually. It's a 1991 XLT Lariat, 7.3, ZF-5, Sterling 10.25 (with 4.10's and...- bulletpruf
