Drive train experts...please step inside!
My experience. Bought my 97 zf5 about 8 years ago with 177k on the clock. It had a vibration mostly noticeable at highway cruise speed for me, 65-70 and anything close to 3000+ rpm was always a challenge like it just didn’t want to go there. Also with a heavy load, 15-20k lbs, in lower gears it...- iverger

Intermittent cruise control
Don't forget the easy stuff. Brake pedal switch, clutch switch and the one that got me, the ebrake switch. Stick a toe under the ebrake pedal and make sure it's all the way up next time cruise doesn't go.- iverger

Roof rack options?
I couldn't find anything a few years back either. Ended up going with a Thule on my leer camper top. It's been 3 years and some rough trails and it still works well, not cracks.- iverger

ONGOING 01 f250 ISSUES.
Might have been refering to the Swamps IDM options. I have no experience with it.- iverger

Fuel Pressure Regulator
Apparently a hard part to come by. Mine has a crack in the housing and I'm having a hard time finding a replacement. I don't have time to convert to e-fuel right now. Any of you that have gone electric have a spare laying around your willing to sell? Thanks Bob- iverger

Just bought a 95 from out of state
Went through all the same feelings when my 94 was totaled by a drunk. Found a super clean 97 that was identical and bit the bullet. The IDI was easier to work on and being all mechanical always felt reassuring. Took me about 2 months of daily driving before a had that same feeling with my...- iverger

OBS stroke value.
Not sure how true that is. Might depend on the insurance company I guess. My 94 IDI Turbo, identical to above except engine and with 220k miles was totaled and my the insurance company at gave me a check for $7700. Used that to buy the 97 in my sig with 170k miles for $7900. (Reg Cab fan here)...- iverger

Had to replace my 94 IDIT zf5 4x4 3:55
Ended up with a replacement I'm happy with but I have to switch to the PSD forum (Link Below). :( The reason for the switch is supposedly still in jail and didn't have any insurance. While the concept of uninsured motorist insurance sticks in my craw, thankfully, I grumbled and paid it anyway...- iverger

New PSD owner. Not but choice, but I like it.
Loved my old early 94 IDI turbo with zf5 and 3:55 gears. Had every intention of hanging on to it for many years, but some Drunk Driver decided otherwise. Some before and afters of the 94 and it's replacement. A 97 PSD that is close to it's twin, zf5 3:55LS 4x4. Super clean with 167k on the...- iverger

Broke something again.. pic
Once you have both lines off, you should be able to compare and/or measure the length. The most important thing being that the line length remain the same. To prove ToughOldFord out the length of the 6.9 without adapter should be the same as the 7.3 with adapter......simple.- iverger

is all az fuel a bio blend?
Known as B20 (5>20). Great stuff for our engines but, if you haven't already, you need to make sure your return lines and o-rings can handle it. Mine started leaking pretty quickly after about the 3-4th tank (they were old and tired anyway). Like ethanol, I'm betting we will see more and more...- iverger

fuel filter bs!
It's standard thread just inverted. "Righty Tighty, Lefty Loosy" If you're standing at the passenger fender you should be cranking it towards the firewall.- iverger

2 wheel drive LOW range? Quick question...
+1 This. I use it all the time to move heavy trailers around, especially in tight situations. You get the advantage of the lower gearing (zf5/3.55s for me) without all the stress on the front drive line.- iverger

Found this interesting ford document...
Observations: 1) 6.9, 7.3 and 7.3T all have the same replacement crank, I thought the turbo crank was different. 2) 6.9, 7.3 and 7.3T all have different heads, I thought the 7.3 heads were the same. Although it does say the 7.3 and 7.3T have the same casting number.....different part...- iverger
