    ZF with 1356 case install in one shot?

    Hoping for words of wisdom from anyone that has crossed this bridge. Trying to set the transmission jack up for the installation and can’t figure out how to get perfect level with both transmission and transfer case connected. Hoping not to split them just to install. Any suggestions would be...

    1990 7.3idi AC V Belt Bracket Diagram

    Feeling kinda stupid. I have all three volumes,(2,600 pages), of the factory repair manuals, a EVTM manual, and a Haynes manual on disk, along with a Chilton's manual in hardcopy, have OCR the digital copies, created hundreds of bookmarks, and searched for days for the bracket install diagram...

    E4OD to ZF542 Clutch Pedal Question

    Seeing as the new clutch master and slave with new hose is still in the box and waiting to be installed I'm guessing there's a whole lot of air in the system right now. Gonna have to mount the tranny before mounting the slave and hose though. Just got the engine installed this Friday. Want to...

    Nice. At least I only spent a few hours gnashing teeth before admitting defeat and posting. Thanks!

    E4OD to ZF542 Clutch Pedal Question

    Found a donor truck that had sat rusting for 15 years, been picked over by unknown others, and aside from the heinous condition of everything, got the engine to fire up and even though it was missing axles, determined the ZF was also good. Unfortunately, the steering column was already sitting...

    Anyone ever heard of Hi-Tech Engines in Spokane?

    Yes. Just dropped the donor engine in after a little clean up and a couple upgraded parts.

    Anyone ever heard of Hi-Tech Engines in Spokane?

    All I know about the history is the previous owner had it backed up to a garage door and it didn't move for around 15 years as the 3rd member would only turn in reverse. Just discovered yesterday that guy passed away and the guy he was renting a house from sold the truck as salvage when they...

    Anyone ever heard of Hi-Tech Engines in Spokane?

    Doing a reseal and detailing a donor 7.3 and discovered a rebuild sticker. Says “Assembled with pride Hi-Tech Engines Spokane, Washington “ There’s a serial number for the build. I couldn’t find anything with a phone search. Was wondering if any Washington guys knew about them. I never met...

    DB2 Fuel Intake Thread

    Oops, 3/8 I didn't expect to, especially with a regulator, but I upgraded all the fuel lines to 3/8" PTFE thinking only of aesthetics. Am detailing out and resealing the engine on a stand now.

    DB2 Fuel Intake Thread

    So then, if I was to upgrade to 3/8" from the new regulator to the IP would that make it a 3/8" JIC x 1/2" ORB? Or, a 5/16" JIC to 3/8" adaptor as an option?

    DB2 Fuel Intake Thread

    Got my IP back from a CDD rebuild and the fitting at the center intake was removed. Asked them about it and was scolded for not removing it before sending in. Fine, lesson learned. Now I'm trying to find the threads on the pump to get an adaptor. There is no way in hell I will purchase a new...

    Ford Says "Hold My Beer"

    It is possible the truck rolled off the assembly line with the switch mounted on the dash, with everything in place to add an extra tank except a fill tube, sender wiring, and fuel lines to the selector solenoid. The wiring for the Bronco part under the hood and dash is crazy low budget. Open...
