    I broke my turbo, what now?

    I picked up a Banks Sidewinder setup off a junkyard truck recently and was checking it out when I discovered the wastegate was VERY hard to operate so I was soaking it with PB Blaster over a couple of weeks and working it back and forth every day to try and loosen it up, well I finally got bored...

    WTB: Crew Cab body/stripped chassis

    You just HAD to post another picture, huh? Well i feel a little better knowing the doors were missing. Just a little though.

    WTB: Crew Cab body/stripped chassis

    I thought I posted a response, apperantley not. Thanks for having me in mind about that truck, No offense but Northern trucks scare the hell out of me. I have scrapped a number of these Ford trucks based on the fact they were rusted so badly. If there is a little rust showing through, then there...

    WTB: Crew Cab body/stripped chassis

    Sorry I forgot to change my user settings but it has been done now, took a while to find the PM options, I'm technologically challenged. 1990 should not matter, I can use my front cap and dash and front door panels, I guess the back door panels are not too different from the later ones. I am...

    WTB: Crew Cab body/stripped chassis

    Hey gunz, that wuold be super cool, I need an excuse to get down to Pensacola and that will work! Is it a 250 or 350? Colors? Any pics? I'm interested as long as there is a way to get it on my 16' utility trailer I use as a car hualer. I have to take a horse to SW MO. Wednesday, Aug. 31, but...

    WTB: Crew Cab body/stripped chassis

    Yeah, exactley what I'm looking for, although if I can find one with a little more frame and rear doors... I think I would be better off with a frame AND cab instead of trying to extend a frame; finding rails sections, cutting and keeping everything straight, insuring GOOD welds and then there...

    complete 6.2 minus pistons, was running, good crank!

    As of now, I am available to meet you whenever you get here. I did apply with the USDA for inspecting cotton this fall but I doubt I will meet the requirements for the job. I have an engine hoist and I won't tear anything apart in the driveway till after you come by and get this engine. I should...

    Sure, not a problem. Lindstromjd, Here are the links to the pics for the cylinder walls, I thought they were in much worse shape to hear the previous owner describe them. I would hone those and reuse it, I forgot to check the starter holes with a bolt, but I did see threads down in there at...

    Telma Drivetrain Retarder Help

    Thanks, I had found one of the pages on that site but forgot to mark it and never found it again! Thanks so much. It looks expensive to fix this, with $600 in the whole truck, I might just have to pass on fixing this thing. I just learned this truck is equipped with an ambulance package, but...

    I got that flexplate weighed and will box it up if you still want it. How is $25 shipped sound? If it were 2.5 inches less in diameter it could go a lot cheaper. If I find the bolts, I'll throw them in the box too.

    I disassembled my TEO6H....

    Got the wheels off the shaft and everything marked so it will go back together the same way. I'm almost willing to run this without balancing the wheels and shaft since it is all going back the way it came apart and no new parts that spin, we'll see... I still have a very tight waste gate in...

    I'll get a pic of those cylinder walls for you, The previous owner said he had to beat the pistons out with a block of wood and big baby sledgehammer. I'll pop a head off and get a good look at it. I'll set the engine under something so it isn't getting wet anymore. I think Ironman wants...

    WTB: Crew Cab body/stripped chassis

    I feel the same way sometimes; 93 CnC dually 6x4(2wd) 7.3/E4OD, NO TITLE, and making this a WVO highway cruiser = 1993 Cab n Chassis 2wd dually 7.3l with E40D auto, wishing I had a title and this was a Waste Vegetable Oil fueled truck sorry.

    Yeah man, its been getting wet though, the longblock and heads more so than the small stuff. I'll have to sort through the aluminum pile for some pieces I threw on it.
