    Hypothetical inj pump question

    Hey all. Has anybody ever thought of, or installed a Bosch VE (roatary) injection pump on an IDI? I'm pretty sure they make an 8 cyl version. They are great pumps and are very user friendly from an adjustability standpoint. Do they turn the wrong way, have no chance of mating up to the gear...

    Yet another ZF-5 question

    Ok fellas, I know there have been tons of discussions on ZF compatibility, but it seems most of the threads revolve around swapping from auto to ZF. My 86 is a factory 6.9, t-19, 4x4. I have a ZF 5 speed/t-case combo out of an 87? with the 4.1? first gear. Do I need anything to install this...

    Anyone try a Dorman PMD?

    Just for the sake of discussion, has anyone ever used a Dorman PMD? In my internet travels when I was fixing my truck, I stumbled on the Dorman PMD. Since they have a limited lifetime warranty, I was curious if there was any experiences with them and if they were any good? Travis..

    Came to the dark side

    Hey all. Some of you may know me from the Ford IDI section or Pirate4x4. I just picked up a 98 6.5/5 speed 2500 regular cab with a flatbed. It's got 220k and it is 100% stock. It needs a couple of little things and some maintenance, but it seems to be a solid truck. I have no plans or...

    How much more fuel for new turbo install?

    If a guy were doing a fresh install of an ATS gated turbo (like the factory unit) on a stock N/A engine, how much did ATS say to turn the fuel screw? ATS doesn't have any info about IDI turbos on their site, so I thought someone here might have the instructions, or just know what it said...

    Road draft tube

    I was doing some checks on my dad's truck today, one of his compaints is that it uses oil. The intake was VERY wet with oil and I mentioned the talk of a RDT and that all of the cool kids were doing it. He said let's try it. His truck has an ATS turbo kit on it, so I just cut his hard tube...

    Dually picture request

    Anyone have a pic of the wheel mounting flange and attaching hardware for an 80s-90s dually. I specifically want to see what is used to center the wheels on the hub and the lug nut arrangement. Did Ford use the ring under the lugs like Chevy did? I have no interest in the late model hub...

    Disaster narrowly averted

    My dad was hitting the road Saturday to finally head back home. I went to give him a hand hooking up the trailer and then followed him down the road a bit since I happened to be going the same way he was headed. At the second stop light I noticed a whiff of smoke come out of the right front...

    So what's the hot power combo?

    With hesuttons 204hp, 461tq numbers, what is the hot combo to have? Looking at the numbers posted in the sticky, hp ranges from 140-200, and tq from 300 to now 461. Where does this huge disparity come from? Is it just pump and injectors, or more? Has Russ ever dyno'd his truck? From Calvins...

    Sun timing meter

    I went rooting through our cabinets at work and found that we have a Sun Electric diesel tach/timing meter, model DTM-101. It is a lumy type and has everything for doing the Ford/IH idi's. We used to have a number of IDIs in the fleet, but haven't for a while. This meter hasn't been used in...
