    Selling my truck- who wants it

    I know that some folks are looking and thinking ***, why would you sell that? Well, I'm going to be honest. I started this project before I had kids. They are now 5 and 7 and ask when is the brown truck going to run. I just don't have the time to finish it the way that I envisioned it. I...

    Selling my truck- who wants it

    After many months of going back and forth, I have decided to sell my truck. I was in the process of starting a Cummins swap (I already had the engine from another truck), but I just don’t have the time and have since sold the Cummins engine and parts. I would like to sell this as a package and...

    Finally bought one!

    Sounds like you are doing all the right things to make this a reliable runner. Good call on replacing the glow plugs. How about a coolant filter? Archie

    Vacuum pump pulely?

    Yup, tweaked mine taking it off. Also got one from rockauto. I used the correct puller and PB blaster, but it still messed up the pulley. Archie

    2016 Bronco SVT with a diesel!

    I love Broncos, and was in the same boat, until I saw the Sterling part. Anything these days that isn't 3/4 or 1 ton is going to be independent suspension, not straight axle. Besides, who wants a Bronco that you can't take the top off of. Someday maybe they will bring it back, but I bet it...

    Rear disc and axle upgrades for our trucks?

    I did the disc brake conversion and used brackets from Rough Stuff Specialties. They use GM calipers that are inexpensive and a 96 E350 Rotor. I did not change my master cylinder and it stops great. I will say that I have not towed with it yet. I had fits with the rear adjusters and decided...

    Caterpillar Powered Ford!

    I think that guy should stay in his Ranger or stay home.

    Vemco Dana v drive system wanted.

    Agreed, I have never seen anything like that. When I first read the title, I thought you were posting something about a boat. Looks interesting. What are you wanting to put that system into? Archie

    New transmission time

    I'm also wondering where you bought that transmission. I need a ZF-5 speed, and have been looking at Standard Tranmission and Gear. http://www.standardtransmission.com/ Thanks, Archie

    CL Ranger/Cummins

    I question the overflow bottle being thrown in. It does look like a hack job. No way would I even spend a Saturday looking at that for 14k. For 5K maybe. I will say that it is hard to judge without seeing it in person, but 14k? What did that truck go for when it was new? Archie

    RANT: Truck starts then dies - fuel system air intrusion

    I agree with the fact that the plastic return caps and the olives are a weak point in the system. I replaced the caps and o-rings twice with good quality kits only to have two different caps start to leak. I made sure I trimmed any flashing off the caps and used new o-rings each time with...

    Slick idea found on CraigsList

    That is a cool tool, and if comes with the load leveler it is worth the price. If you have a overhead chain hoist you can do it with tie down straps, but it would be so much nicer to be able to pick it up with that tool. Archie

    4BT 71 F250

    Thanks for the reply and the info. I've got my eyes peeled for a 4bt and have been doing some research. It seems it is better to find an engine out of something that was on the road rather than stationary like a generator because of the differences in the governors. I read that road...
