    Need help: odd fueling issue

    Monday afternoon I was buttoning up all of the work I had done to the '88 F-250 (I recently posted about installing a 3G alternator and new fuel injectors). I removed the injection pump top cover because I was curious to see inside of it (which was stupid, because I think it led to the issue I...

    Return line caps question

    I just opened up my return line cap kit to inventory everything and I came across a problem: as you can see in the first pic, there are four tees and four corner caps. I don't see how using four corner caps will work, given that the factory return line setup has three corner caps and one single...

    Alternator putting out low voltage/injector replacement

    I'm having a charging problem on the 1988 IDI in my signature: the alternator is only putting out about 13 volts max. Upon starting, the gauge on the dash (which is accurate, I've checked it with a couple of multimeters) will slowly climb up to about 12 volts. After warming up and driving the...

    Valvoline gear oil in Flex Fill container

    I just picked up five quarts of this Valvoline gear oil. I bought two quarts of it a couple of months ago and liked the design of the container so much I wanted to have extra for whenever I need it. (It was at Walmart for something like $12/quart.) It makes filling an axle a breeze! (It is such...

    1993 F-350 tow rig

    I have been away for awhile and just yesterday re-entered IDI ownership: a regular cab 1993 F-350 XLT 4×4 with an E4OD. I'm not a fan of autos and the tranny is bad. I'm strongly considering replacing it with a ZF 5-speed. Here's the only pic I have at the moment: The maroon F-250 doing the...

    Looking for a 4WD single cab F350

    Here's the skinny: I bought a 1989 F-250 Lariat 4WD in 2009 (shortly before I joined this board). In 2017, I bought a 2008 F-450 King Ranch 4WD to replace her. I had no need for two 4WD trucks (and the F-450 was a whole lot nicer), so I sold the F-250. As you know, life goes on, and things...

    1990 International DT360

    2008 Ford F-450

    I know it's not a 6-leaker, but there's no 6.4 section on this forum. I'll be picking this up Saturday: It's a King Ranch, but I'm not sure if it has EVERY feature offered that year. It is well-optioned and drives and rides WAY better than my '89 F-250. I'm pretty excited. I've had an...

    Idea about pump for ZF tranny cooler installation

    A couple of weeks ago I posted this thread: http://www.oilburners.net/forums/showthread.php?58628-Installing-a-transmission-cooler-pump-on-a-ZF-5-speed Initially, my thought was to use a Facet Duralift pump to move the ATF around. However, that probably won't work too well long term. I...

    Fuel mileage numbers?

    So I just put a little over 560 miles on my truck and I averaged 14.125 mpg. That was mostly cruising down the freeway at 58-60 mph unloaded with the AC on. My truck has a Moose pump turned down two flats, Hypermax turbo, Delphi BBs, 4.10 axles, Toyo 315/75-16 MTs, a 2-inch body lift and a...

    Brownie X2!!!

    Yesterday I was riding back in one of the trucks from the jobsite, and I noticed a recent Nickel Ads that was wadded up on the dash. Mostly it was tractors, guns and pickups for sale (either I've got enough or don't need), but I came across a listing that caught my eye: "3-speed brownie...

    Installing a transmission cooler/pump on a ZF 5-speed?

    Early in 2011, I towed my trailer down to Nevada from SW Washington (and back again) and had some issues with my transmission temperatures (among other things). (I had a Hypermax turbo, Delphi BBs, and a Moose Pump installed in March of 2011. I also installed a boost gauge, a pyrometer and...

    Engine light temp. probe question

    Not trusting the factory coolant temperature gauge in my instrument cluster, I've decided I need an aftermarket one. I'd like to install the probe in the engine overheat temp. probe port (on the back of the driver's side head). I thought I saw the size of this on here a couple of days ago...
