    I got the job!

    Well, after nearly 13 years of jamming gears, playing with the big tonkas in the dirt, crawling under trucks with tools to fix things, etc......it has come to an end! I have been accepted into the Vehicle Compliance Program for the Nova Scotia Government. I'll be working in the same area...

    On the rebound!

    Hi fellow oil combusters! Miss me?! Wel, things have been up and down since I sold the blue 1993 I had. I sold the Regal, and bought a MINT (and I mean absolutely mint) 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP with the Comp G package. Paddle shifters, heads up display, FE3 suspension, etc...

    Cummins in a 1994 Ford F350

    Hello. Most of you know me from the 6.9/7.3 IDI forums, but I have since sold my 1993 F250 4x4. I have a near rust free 1994 Ford F350 crew cab long box 2wd that I plan on doing a 5.9 12 valve swap to. I have a LOT of questions, so please be patient with me. 1. The swap itself is...

    Oh man, you guys are going to HATE me!!

    Well, I have decided that I am not done with the IDI pickups just yet. Part of the deal was to take the CCLB in trade for what was supposed to be an awsome little daily driver. After finding a list of stuff wrong with this new truck, I am keeping the CCLB and putting a diesel in it like I...

    I'm just a troll now

    Well, it pains me to say it. And I am currently angry at the world for doing it, but I had no real option. I simply can not afford to build the truck in my signature (CCLB) and I am running out of time to get a plow vehicle ready for the road for the winter. Tonight, my 1993 F250 4x4 left...

    Broken into while at work

    SO I am on the highway, hauling shoulder gravel to the big paving job we just completed. At about 3pm, my phone rings. It's the neighbour asking if I left my pickup truck door open... I had not!!! It was locked up solid, both doors were locked. So he closed the door for me and kept and...

    RWABS valve, needed or not?

    Ok, I know if I remove this valve I'll have no RWABS.....I don't care. I pulled the fuse out right after it got inspected anyways. I HATE ABS, And I even disabled it in my Buick. Flame me, I don't care. Sorry to sound short, but I have always driven vehicles without abs and found them more...

    The Truck is coming home this weekend

    Well, about the time I bought my Buick and put it on the road, I parked my truck at the shop so I can work on it. With the amount of weekends I worked this year, and the long hours throughout the week, I haven't turned a SINGLE bolt on her yet. So, this weekend, I am going to bring the...

    David Rock attacks Ford starter for "rebuild"

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIFPeJ3bbPE&feature=g-all-u Thought it might start a little debate, but moreover it might help someone in trouble with their starter. ;Sweet

    Waking the dead

    Well, tomorrow I will be headed into the shop, to get a base line reading on what kind of pulse my old F250 still might have. Time constraints dictated to me that I will not be able to get the CCLB on the road in time to plow snow this winter. I have to get the truck in shape to be inspected...

    Not looking too good.

    I think I am setting myself up for a HUGE disapointment here trying to build that other truck. I got to be realistic. I have no real place to work on it, the shop I was thinking about doing the swap and rebuild at already said I need to get a move on it and get it done and out of their yard...

    Regular Cab, Short box F350

    Well, I am going to build it! Vicki thinks it's the best thing for us at the moment, and it will be an AWSOME wedding gift to myself. Tonight, I am going to roll her out of the driveway and drive it to my buddies shop where I will do all the work. I need to get the measurements for a...

    My makeover

    It's for my truck!!! What did you think it was?! Well, I was poking around the truck in the driveway last night, and I came up with a plan. I want a regular cab, short box, 4x4, 5 speed turbo intercooled F250. Yep, a stubby truck for plowing snow. Doing driveways with the supercab long...

    She's parked for good

    Well, January 7th, 2009 I brought home my 4x4. Today, June 22, 2012 is the day I parked her for the last time. She needs back brakes, front caliper shims (or new calipers), all new front wheel bearings, tie rods, a box, LOTS of patching to the cab and the ZF is grinding in third when I...

    So I got this supercharged Buick.....

    ...and it was "overheating". I yanked out the thermostat, and ran it....seemed to "overheat" still. I found one coolant temperature sender, by the thermostat housing. So I unplugged it and my gauge now no longer says it is overheating. But my gauge STILl works just fine, and my computer...

    changed glow plugs - BIG time FIGHT!

    I know this si for 6.2 engines, but we don't have a 5.7 forum and this is as close as it gets. I changed a set of glow plugs in a Pontiac Perisienne tonight. 1983, 5.7 diesel. whoo.. 7 plugs came out fairly well, a little squeaking and sticking, but I got them out without too much fuss...

    ....and there goes the clutch.

    Well, the clutch has been slipping slightly for the last couple months. I knew it, and ws trying to baby it along until after this summer....waiting to put a new one in. Well, today I had to take the truck a mile up the road......and I think the old clutch is waiting to find a croweded road...

    Head Scratcher.

    Ok this has only happened once or twice before, but tonight was enough to make me jack the truck up and look for 20 minutes for a problem. If I crank the wheel to hard lock while leaving an intersection (either direction), my steering wheel feels like it's binding up and won't return to...

    Looking for a truck

    Ok, I was out with my buddy and his father hauling wood this weekend, and we decided to use my truck. The old Ford was just happy as hell idling through the woods in first gear, low range 4x4 with a couple ton in the bed. It impressed my buddy's father so much to the point of him wanting an...

    Exhaust leak

    Well, I had dual stacks on the pickup, but I couldn't stand the noise of the driver side pipe screaming when cruising on the highway with the windows down...so this morning, sick as hell, I went out and pulled the driver side pipes off. I put an old elbow I had laying around on it and run it...

    Score? I think so

    So my transfer case gave up on me yesterday, and I called a buddy who said he had some old gear laying around I could have cheap. Cheap was right!!! $50 got me TWO working NP 208's AND a MINT Canuck cab visor. Looks like this...

    T-case just exploded....great.

    First off, the truck is a 1993 F250, ZF 5 speed and a BW 1356. the front hubs are not the issue, nor is the front differential. The DS will not lock in and engage. I park the truck on the side of the street, up against the snow bank due to it not fitting in the driveway with the other...

    Need a glow plug harness

    Anyone out there have a good used, or new glow plug harness for the 7.3 idi? Mine is about shot, and I can't shorten up the wires anymore to put new connectors on. I remember seeing NOS ones on here a while back, and I didn't jump on it...although I should have. I have 8 working GP's...
