    Welcome to the Forum. I don`t come over here much, just happen to see your thread. Go over to the 6.9/7.3 IDI Diesel Forum section for your questions. Lots of good info there and guys with hands on experience. Sounds like you bought a nice one...

    IDI Newbie

    I figured people that drive Automatics are...shiftless. Love to watch the guy behind me launch it when the light changes, iam grinding through the gears on the T-19 and he suddenly does a nose dive to keep from kissing my Trailer Hitch. Goat

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    When I got out of the Navy, my right pointer finger was bent from always having a Coffee Mug in my hand. First thing in the morning make a pot of the stuff, then around 6pm make another pot. I can drink the stuff till 1am or later, hit the sack and Iam out. Doesn`t keep me awake or the jitters...

    Return line question

    I eliminated the line from the Filter to the return line cap several years ago, and have never had a problem with air. There was a TSB from Ford quite a few years ago to eliminate that hose as there had been problems with it. You can replace the Hard Line from the Lift Pump to the Filter with...

    I said that sort of "Tongue and Cheek". When my Dad turned 90, he decided to stop driving. "Do you think Suzy would like my (96) Ford Tarus Station Wagon"? (He passed in 2012) We drove it from San Jose to Portland and gave it to her. Her first reaction was "How do you drive an automatic". She...

    1994 7.3 IDI Swap out

    Our OP hasn`t been around since Feb 20. Hope we didn`t scare him off. One post recommended replacing the Freeze Plugs.... if so better have the tool and proper Plugs. Goat

    IDI Newbie

    You two guys got that right. Old is beautiful. One problem is lots of time the Wife doesn`t understand why he wants that old truck, and just wants it gone. You spend all your time working on that old thing, and never spend enough time with me....and there are things I want to do. I knew some...

    Someone go get it!!!

    Seats look like they have been redone in Vinal, originals were probably in some type cloth. 54K miles and needed redone? Maybe sun damage or? Goat

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Finally got the bed back on and bolted down. Fuel lines reconnected. I pulled it because front tank was leaking, really didn`t see from where. Tightened all clamps etc... I have a 2/4" threaded fitting screwed into the Roll over grommet, maybe it wasn`t down tight enough? Pulled it and thought...

    Rear main seal replacement

    I was under the impression all IDI`s (6.9/7.3) were all the same. (as far as the Crank) maybe the 94, last year some changes were made because of the factory Turbo. I doubt Ford had 2 different cranks for 250 and 350. I don`t remember reading anything on it. Iam still stumbling along learning...

    Rear main seal replacement

    In the kit it has a metal cup to drive it on? I bought that same one, and thought what is this goofy thing? None of the pictures of an IDI Crank did I see a speedy Sleeve with this Flange. So then bought a different one or type OEM From Ford (but through E-bay) Has 4 pins and a tool to drive it...

    Best radiator hose clamp?

    My 82 Datsun 720 KC had the OM 300ZX clamps when I bought it new. Never had a leak problem with them. Goat
