    1991 E-350 van no dash power

    Does anyone know where the heck the main fuse pannel/main distribution block is on these vans ? I can not find it and all ford can tell me is check the engine compartment for fuse box.

    1991 E-350 van no dash power

    I know for a fact that its not my battery causing this. I still have bright interior lights and the door buzzer woks fine, I do not have any dash power. I need to find a main relay or fusebox under the hood and find out why I have no power to my ignition and dash.

    1991 E-350 van no dash power

    I just got a 91 e350 van and I have no dash power. The previous owner hit a moose with it. I bought the van for the drivetrain. The van was running really good today, I noticed the previous owner had the passenger side battery unhooked. I decided to take my digital voltage meter and check the...

    Leaking coolant warped block or head ?

    That's good to hear its not the block that's causing it to leak. Wouldn't the water cause damage to the cylinders ?

    Leaking coolant warped block or head ?

    Im looking at a 1984 f250 parts truck, I was told the previous owner cracked the left head and replaced it with a used one but never checked it out and just installed it. Now there is coolant leaking between the head and block, the coolant is not leaking into the cylinders just on to the ground...

    N/a single 5 inch straight pipe ?

    It don't matter how loud its going to be, we will never drive this truck in a well populated area. The only reason I want to use this size of pipe is because I have the stacks already and they are in excelent condition. They might not be exacly 5" it might be 4-4.5". Ill go see later on.

    N/a single 5 inch straight pipe ?

    As some of you already know im putting a 1991 7.3L in a 1980 international S2125 5 ton truck. I want to make a single 5" straight pipe from the manifolds out to the 5" chrome exhaust stack, it will be roughly 12 feet of pipe including the single stack. I will be making my own intake system and...

    Biggest load hauled to date with idi.

    Im thinking that trailer would weight atleast 6000 lbs. A trailer that would weight 2000 would never think of handling 16500 lbs. We have a 36 foot goosneck equipment trailer with three 10000lb axles and it weighs about 10000 lbs or a bit less.

    custom transmission adaptors ?

    I was doing some thinking and I realized that without the ford adaptor plate I won't have anywhere to mount my starter. So it looks like I need to go find a IHC S series truck at a salvage yard that has a 6.9 or a 7.3L bolted up to a dana spicer 5000 series transmission. Another option is to get...

    normal cold start oil pressure ?

    Oh ok, I kinda thought it would give me an idea but I guess not, ill go buy a proper gauge. The truck started really well compaired to my 91 7.3L with 116000 km (72000 miles) 3 bad glow plugs and a fuel leak. What would be a good oil presure when completely warmed up ?

    normal cold start oil pressure ?

    Im thinking of buying a 1986 F250 with the 6.9L, it has 214000 km (133000 miles) on it with a new injector pump and new glow plugs. I went and looked at it today. I did a cold start this morning, it was about +3C (37F) and no bock heater pluged in. How long should it take for the oil pressure to...
