    DT466 for a swap motor?

    A friend of mine scored himself a free '78 IH truck with a DT466 Turbo diesel in it. The hub meter claims 144K, the hour meter claims 2,*** hours. Motor supposedly is rebuilt. He was going to use it to haul is triple axle gooseneck, but I told him that the DOT would be on him like stink on...

    Which do you like better: WD-40 or PB Blaster?

    I have lots of WD40, but dont rely on it to loosen rusted bolts. For over the counter stuff, I prefer PB blaster, but for exhaust type stuff, go straight for the torch.

    this is what i did this weekend hydroboost

    I have taken a couple of can 'o ham power steering pumps, the hydro boost units had vanes that were about 1/4" longer in width than the non hydro boost pumps. I would assume that the ford hydro boost pumps would have the upgrade as well? (more flow) Somebody was telling me that hydro boost...

    Cheap ZF-5 4x4 Trans

    How is your trans going to work on a 460?? Is there a way to machine the belhousing to accept the other pattern? I dont have a ZF diesel to compare the 460 pattern to, thought maybe you knew something I did not?

    '93 7.3 IDI core, ZF trans, remnants of the truck, etc etc

    Motor has 340K on it, it blew a head gasket. Motor is still complete, it has all of the accessories on it still, injection pump included. $400. It came from a '93 Ford 4x4. If you want just the longblock minus the accessories, $300. That is all I know about it, all I guarantee that it is a...

    Fuel economy question, 90 E350

    Its not a dark brown, and does not smell burnt, it just is not pink like it should be. Yeah, I can test drive it, the only challenge is the owners friend has first dibs on it, so I am second in line.

    Fuel economy question, 90 E350

    What kind of fuel economy can I hope to get out of an early 90s E350 van with an E4OD trans? The local junkyard bought one (cheap I assume) and he will sell it to me for $1000. The trans looks recent(30-40K) but the fluid is brown(doesnt smell burnt.) ODO reads 92K, I assume its 192K. I...

    I'm getting my second IDI... Need help

    Hitch a ride at the truck stop, or take the bus. If I were in your situation, if I could convince the old owner of the truck to sit on it for you for a little while longer, I would try that. Making a trip that is $2.55 away from disaster is the kind of trip I do not want to take.

    stronger alternator for my 84' 6.9?

    Higher than 130A? You can convert to a 3G from a later model Taurus(93-94+), and only have to change a few wires around. Anything earlier will have the exact 1G 100a unit you have now. Do a search for 3G swap on Fullsizebronco.com, the swap is covered in depth. You can upgrade the internals...
