    Brothers truck keeps blowing Instrument/Running light fuse

    It's the headlight switch, if it isn't some mickeymouse trailer wiring that a previous owner hacked together. It's super frustrating.

    WTB automatic locking hub or parts

    My OBS truck has a bunch of posts missing from the drivers side hub! I'd like to find the can plate, spindle nut, locking clip...but on the other hand I would also be interested in a complete hub our even a set.thanks! If somebody is dying to trade for manual hubs I have a set of low mileage...

    t19 to zf questions

    I looked into this some. All the various engines have an adapter bolted to the back of them which allows the bellhousing to bolt up. Unfortunately the cummins has a bt series engine to small block Ford bellhousing adapter, while the IDI has an international to ford diesel bellhousing adapter. So...

    t19 to zf questions

    The adapter gizmo between the bellhousing and the block is the same. The input shaft is.a.different diameter and spine count. I have had really good luck with a SMF. There is complete kit from south bend clutch,or LUK. The ZF5 is a great transmission and really changed the feel of driving the...

    bellhousing adapters sae etc.

    Exactly right! That 7.3 shows the adapter to some sae bellhousing. Apparently they are all round like that one, just different diameters. I don't know if cummins ever made a zf5 adapter?

    bellhousing adapters sae etc.

    Thanks fellas. The confusion on my part, is based on the whole sae bellhousing thing. I believe that the various engines have proprietory patterns that adapters are then bolted to. In the case of the ford/idi business then the bellhousing bolts to the adapter. I have no idea why Ford choose to...

    bellhousing adapters sae etc.

    Don't tell Mel, but I've been toying with the idea of putting a cummins engine (probably a 4bt) into my truck. I'd like to keep the ZF5 I have in there now. There are some commercial adapters out there, but many of the bread truck donor engines I've seen have adapters with them as well. What I...

    Wiper delay

    intermittant module The black box that is plugged into the back of the switch house a printed circuit board with sub par soldering. The cold solder connections fail from vibration ( or especially from letting the parking brake slam the dash). the fix is easy. Remove the black box, and pop its...

    Fuel System Rebuild Thread

    I wouldn't worry about an oil pressure switch stalling the engine. The injection pump can pull enough fuel to run. In fact the oil pressure switch may not function as a engine saving device at all, but if you roll the truck it will stop the spray of diesel.

    That time again...tie rod end/drag link replacement

    most auto part places loan or rent pickle forks. So when you buy the new parts you can pick the right size out. It's an easy repair, don't be afraid to use a big hammer!

    Coil springs in a 4x4

    I'd guess it was a conversion from 2wd to 4wd. I personally like the idea of coil springs, and have wondered about using a combination of bronco parts and f250 bits for a coil sprung f250 ttb, but Mel's trials with the 8 lug knuckles put me off the hunt.

    Hydroboost conversion parts arrived....

    You don't mention the year truck you have in your signature;Really Depending on the year the brake pedal arm has the pivot for the pushrod in a different location. For my truck (1984) it wouldn't work at all with the stock pedal. The donor truck (1987 450) has the pedal and the pivot which...

    slave cylinder question ???

    This instruction is almost right: What I find really works is to: push clutch fork toward the front of the truck and hold it Open bleeder screw close bleeder release fork. repeat a couple of times until only fluid comes out, without air. I find a big screwdriver works pretty good...
