    My '89 is dead, what's happened?

    I'm thinking it's the battery cables. They'll get nasty corroded in the lead lug and you'll have batteries charged, but the juice don't flow.

    Anyone swap back to throttle cable?

    I can tell you what it is......I saw a movie years ago called "Maximum Overdrive", I think it was based on a true story, but you'll have to excuse my memory (before I met Jesus, I used a lot of drugs in my formative years) but stuff like this was happening all the time in the movie. AC/DC did...

    4 speed to ZF5 swap

    1.5-2hr for a committed young man. A couple days for the less committed older gentleman. Afew weeks for the seriously tedious person.

    Transmission issues- rumble strip & hunting OD

    The thing is, do you have twin 15Klb hydrolic winches pulling against a loaded 12Klb FedEx truck that some goober stuck in sand all the way to the differential? If I was just trying to hold still, it would be one thing but I'm actually bracing against goobers.

    Transmission issues- rumble strip & hunting OD

    No, I still got it. It'll bolt to the 4x4 t19 I have but I don't have a PTO for the T19. And sence then I've learned that the front brakes are the ones that have to be held to really stabize the truck. So it's in my limbo pile of stuff to confront one day.

    Anyone swap back to throttle cable?

    Some knight rider "enthusiasts"(read that....."weirdos") have their TPS wired to a thing with a speaker that makes the "turbine" sound when they rev their engine. The same group has it set to make the scanner sound too. So yeah, anything is possible if you can keep throwing $$$ at it.

    This is the unofficial-official statement on "throttle by wire": YUCK!!!

    I don't have your truck, but I do have your transmission and transfer case. I'm in Crestview, ill give you a good price on it. I don't have the pedal assembly to make an auto into a stick shift, but I do got a tranny/transfer case.

    Could the IP be 180 out?

    Jesus Freak's WMO tow truck

    I haven't smoked cigarettes or pot since I met Jesus about 17yrs ago. And really it would have to be a cigarette loaded with dinamite to ignite diesel fuel, much less the oil I run. Just in case a lawyer is reading this: DO NOT USE DINAMITE NEAR DIESEL FUEL OR JESUS FREAK'S USED OIL...

    Backglass gun racks sure are a novelty these days.

    Cup holders

    Yes, it's very important that we consider our cupholders. One way to gauge their importance is to observe the longevity of this thread. Another way is to realize that someone, according to @Danielle , has taken it upon themselves to "3D print" cupholders........yes, these are the times we live...

    Powerstroke 2 IDI no Turbo conversion

    It's either make it a powerstroke or an idi.

    Powerstroke 2 IDI no Turbo conversion

    I would say....... impossible.

    Powerstroke 2 IDI no Turbo conversion

    They're 2 totally different engines. The only thing they share in common is their displacement of 444 cubic inches or 7.3 liters. I don't even think that there's one bolt that would transfer.

    I basically lost all my bees to varroa a few years ago. I'm really hoping to get back into them next spring. Cupholders.

    Jesus Freak's WMO tow truck

    Im always open for an offer. Even though the wheel lift is back together, I gotta get a starter and then I can fire it up and get it back going. It'll be a week or so.

    Changing a head gasket in the brown truck.

    I'd run it a bit more than 1000, maybe 2-3000, I'm not the expert though. But you back them off a quarter turn and then do them multistage in sequence like regular. Check a few of them before you get to torqueing, you'll be surprised at how loose they are.

    Yet another heads thread

    Definitely worth looking into. You might just do it anyway since you're a diesel nut.

    Yet another heads thread

    Don't forget what Smokey the Diesel says, "only YOU can retourque your heads after a couple thousand miles....... unlike that do-do brain Jesus Freak who almost screwed some stuff up. But he caught it in time and there was no real damage...... he's coming around".
