    1990 F350 7.3idi

Auto trans, 2wd. Approx 104500 original miles. Everthing is in good shape. Radiator, hoses, water pump...

    Did I damage my E4OD?

    Well I made it home from Utah to Oklahoma with my 20000lb load. However, I fear I may have hurt the trans. I had to pull 3 very long steep passes and of course everything got hot. I do not have a trans temp gauge. My coolant temp never went over 230 and if it tried I pulled over to let things...

    Couple questions and comments

    I just came from western Oklahoma up to northeastern Utah with my recently converted dually. I towed a trailer and the total weight was about 10000lbs. Going over the mountains west of Denver on I-70, specifically Eisenhower Tunnel and Vail pass, both of which are over 10000ft elevation, I...

    Score!!!!!

    I went to my local pick a part today to get some tow mirrors. I just happened to glance at a truck sitting off to the side that was new in the yard. Lo and behold it is a 93 7.3idi factory turbo motor with the entire turbo assy. pipes, oil line, and everything. Got the whole thing for $65. The...

    WTB dually overload spring stops

    I need the 4 overload spring stops that are riveted to the frame. This is the last of the parts I need to complete my dually conversion. These are going on a 90 model. I'm going to be towing a heavy load next month and need these asap. If anyone has them let me know. Thanks, Duane

    Coolant temp readings

    I just installed a mechanical temp gauge. It is reading somewhere in the 210 range at a high idle in my driveway. Fan is coming on like it should. New radiator, coolant, etc...Temp isn't going above that or coming down much when fan engages. I decided to check with my infrared thermometer and...

    clearance lights

    I have all the heavy mechanical work done on my dually conversion. Now I am to the point of adding the clearance lights on the cab. I have the lights and factory wiring harness I procured from the wrecking yard. What I need is advice from anyone who has added these lights to their truck and...

    Throttle cable question

    My throttle cable snapped right at the pedal today. My truck has cruise control. There are two idi trucks sitting at the pnp but they don't have cruise. Are the cable assemblies the same or is cruise different? Also, is there supposed to be some kind of retainer or clip that holds the...

    Do I need to worry?

    I'm letting my son borrow my truck this weekend, to go visit his girlfriend in Colorado, since his truck is out of commission. I did the oil pressure gauge mod a few months ago and have noticed, like was said, that it would run on the low side if I did this. The guage has fluctuated and...

    Opinions please

    There is a mid eighties F250 idi regular cab with a flatbed sitting for sale near my house. I haven't called on it yet, haven't looked in it or under the hood yet until I get some opinions about something I noticed on the frame. About 2 or 3 inches in front of the passenger side rear spring...

    1990 SRW Ford 10.25 rear end 3.55

    I'm converting my truck to a dually and have swapped in the dually axle. I don't need the SRW axle anymore so I'm going to try to sell it. It has about 95000 original miles on it, makes no noises, is complete drum to drum, except for one wheel cyclinder and a self adjusting cable. It has one...
