    Wiring a Manual High Idle Switch. How to do?

    I've got an 85 250 6.9. Looking to wire in a dash switch to manually kick the high idle on whenever I desire. After running the truck and letting it sit for a few hours, the motor is still too warm for the fast idle to automatically engage. Truck starts better on the high idle until it's up to...

    Slight fog at warm idel

    Thanks guys, I'll throw a pressure matched set of code BB's in her and see if that helps my idel fog, I'll also advance the timing slightly to see if I can get a little extra clatter out of it. I like to run my idi's just slightly advance. Seem to have a little more power that way.

    Smells like burnt diesel. Almost more like raw diesel. Truck uses no coolant at all.

    Slight fog at warm idel

    Hey guys. I've got a 1985 6.9 naturally asperated, no mods. When I start it cold, it fires up quickly and goes right to the fast idel. Puffs white as soons as she lights up, then quits. After high idel shuts off, there is a very light discreet white/grey fog out of the tailpipe at regular idel...

    6.9 knocking/ticking after oil change.

    6.9 knocking/ticking after oil change.

    As the motor runs, the oil pressure increases. when the truck is first started it goes from noting till about half way up the gauge on the dash. Then once warmed up, as you drive the gauge indicated it get really high, reads in the three quarters range most of the the time. As I slow down or...

    6.9 knocking/ticking after oil change.

    After letting the truck sit all afternoon to cool down. I fired it back up. The noise stopped until about 10 minutes of running, then started again once the motor came up to temp and oil pressure went up. Drove it to town and back and it ran great. Noise seems to go away at higher RPMs, or...

    Not sure. That's before I owned the truck. I would assume 15w-40.

    40k on injectors and pump. No white or blue smoke ever. No problems in that department. This developed nearly instantly.

    Tick also speeds up when you put the coal to it.

    265/75/16. Vs 235/85/16

    I got myself a 85 250 2wd with a 6.9. Stock tire size is 235/85/16. I have a set of 265/75/16 with about 10% tread wear. I was wondering ifit would hurt to run the 265/75/16 size on my truck. Thanks, Cody

    Best way to get sound out of 6.9er.

    Hey guys, Looking to get a more tense sound out of my 85 without dual piping it. What would you suggest. Not sure straight pipe would be good for the motor. Truck has no turbo. Thanks, Cody

    T-19B Four Speed Diesel Transmission Low RPM noise.

    Did my truck come stock with a dual mass flywheel?
