    4.10 vs 3.55

    I am running a low gearset in the C6 in my Torino. The gearset is the first and second gears from an E4OD. They do not simply drop into a C6 case, there is some machining and some work involved. The E4OD first gear ratio is 2.72 IIRC, and the C6 is 2.45 IIRC. It makes a difference, but...

    Parting out 1990 crew cab dually

    I will only have this truck for 24 hours. It belongs to a friend of mine, and I am hauling it to the scrapyard for him. There are still a few good parts left on the truck..... I learned last time I hauled one off that many guys needed stuff I scrapped, so I want to help out this time if I can...

    How much different is a turbo idi?

    The ATS kit on my '91 seems to be a very well engineered setup, and I don't think it is in any way reducing the reliability of the truck. With that said, it still won't run with my stock '95 powerstroke, but hey it's pretty darn close. The '91 gets a little help from the 4.10's, while the...

    How much different is a turbo idi?

    It's like this: 70 mph on the highway, the turbo is pushing 3 psi of boost. It seems impossibe that the factory non-turbo truck could even GO 70 mph without a turbo, much less pull something that fast. Greg

    C6 question

    A C6 can stand a tremendous amount of abuse. I ran the C6 in my muscle car for a year with the temps ******* a 320 degree gauge. I figured the gauge was bad, but when it was freshen up time all the steels were BLUE! Frictions were OK. The trans never slipped once over all that time...

    A/C VARIABLE ORIFICE VALVE ???

    High side pressures are very important. There are commonly available adapters that will work with the smaller Ford R12 fitting and convert it to an R-134 fitting. R134 high side pressures are much higher than for R12. As a general rule, you want to see no more than 3x ambient temp for high...

    A/C VARIABLE ORIFICE VALVE ???

    I can't stand this any longer...... a long ass A/C thread and not one person has asked about high and low pressures, or what kind of refrigerant is being used. So. What refrigerant are you using, how much did you put in, what are your pressures, and what is the ambient temp? Greg

    Rear crank wear sleeve, which way does it go?

    I can't say for sure about the Fel-Pro setup, but the Navistar repair sleeve I installed had the bevel facing the flywheel. It came with an installation tool and instructions, too, for installing the seal properly. The insstructions had the eal being driven into the rear plate and then...

    Well, cool! If you're coming back this way anytime just send me a PM and if I'm in town we can tip a couple beers at my place. Greg

    Any one running the ATS 088 turbocharger kit?

    I have that system on my '91. I hve found that the boost PSI is very sensitive to fueling changes at the injector pump. The way I have it set now provides 12-13 psi and quite a bit of smoke at lower RPM's. With it defueled a flat, the boost is only 8 psi. Additionally, any exhaust leak...

    How much money should I require back for this POS!

    The truck had manual windows.... Trust me, the truck was a beat down dogpile. It had led a hard, unloved life and was only good for one thing....donating parts to my '95... I had the truck for 6 days total, I couldn't keep it hanging around trying to sell parts off of it. My salvage...

    Drove the F350 today after the 2wd to 4wd swap

    Thanks for the nice words, guys. I am in fact looking for some stock Ford aluminum wheels, but they're scarce around here and the caps are even harder to come by. I have found several aftermarket wheels that look very similar to the Ford ones, and I may go that route instead. As for the...
