    In light of recent events. . .

    I shall not rehash the events of a recent poster ***** and the issues he raised, but it has occurred to me that I am a thief. I at my own time and expense had my wife design and have printed stickers for the annual idi rally. The stickers were in order: The official IDI rally logo with a...

    2 trucks, 4 batteries, nothing runs

    I finally have enough movement in my right arm to do a little diagnostic work on the trucks. TDT has 1 circuit that is drawing current and killing the batteries. Of course it's the wire that powers the entire truck. I'll dig in more later. Old Brown probably has 1 dead battery. I've...

    6.9L "core" motor

    Sort of. It runs but knocks. Cylinder 8 is scuffed. Here's the thing, though. It has head studs, intake studs, exhaust studs, copper exhaust manifold gaskets, ceramic coated exhaust manifolds. Plus nothing else has more than 7000 miles. $500 takes it. pick it up or work out your own...

    IP gear holdendontmoven

    I have offered my tach sensor enabled IP gear cover to another member here because I have an aftermarket tach and don't need it. Now, how would you recommend that I remove the gear cover and hold the gear stationary for the few days it takes him to swap his and send it my way?

    maybe this. . .

    is the source of my engine knock. I had a conversation with my machinist friend today who stated that it is very rare for a wrist pin to seize. He then went on to say that normally wrist pin problems originate in the piston--usually some kind of deformation. He also mentioned that if a lot of...

    the tastiest fluid

    I have found that of all the various petroleum based fluids in my truck antifreeze is definitely the tastiest. Nice sweetness and very little aftertaste. Diesel fuel starts out slowly and then has a long long aftertaste. Not so bad in the middle but I'm definitely ready for it to go away...

    lower end knock-=probably solved

    Dogcatcher Ron was good enough to pack up his clan and head down this way to help yank the motor out of that damn truck on Friday and now I think we have an answer. We were hoping it was an easy "ah-ha", fix it and drop it back in, but alas. It seems that upon closer inspection cylinder...

    lets just say. . .

    That someone bought a 96 f350 centurion with a 460 E4od and wanted to do a psd conversion. How much of the electronics are stand alone for the engine and transmission and how much is integrated with the rest of the truck. Also is it safe to assume that the gasser trans is different from the...

    needed:

    battery cables--positive cable is shot, negative aren't far behind, but I can probably make those up if nobody has 'em. gauge cluster 80-86 doesn't need a tach t-19 shifter. Somehow in the disassembly and relocate process mine came up missing. Let me know if you have 'em and we can...

    looked at a truck

    Here in town. It's a 92 crew cab super duty with a couple of issues: 1. Used to have a service box on it. Now there's none. I'd like to put a regular box on, but it's a cab and chassis truck. What will fit? 2. PO cut the tail end of the frame off for the above service box. Cuts were...

    . . .battery cables!!

    Mine are shot (old brown, not that damn truck everything in it is new) and now that it's cold it won't start. I have to get under the hood and wiggle them to make good contact so that I can cycle the glow plugs and start it. But tonight it wouldn't go. So I guess I'll screw around with them...

    8 miles per gallon

    Just to make clear on my intents with my truck. My original intention was to build an idi that would perform as well as a newer powerplant. A number popped in my head when I was doing my original rebuild--well second rebuild, the one that Ken did--which was 325. That was the hp number that I...

    alternator or regulator

    at idle: 12 volts above idle: 12.5 volts at idle with lights on: 11 volts above idle with lights on: 11.5 volts. Any electrical use (blower motor, dome lights, etc. . .) cause a drop in voltage--not much but noticeable on the gauge.

    what thread

    I need to clean up a rear end and I'd like to plug the breather hole on the left axle shaft so no water gets in. It's bigger than 3/8-16 and smaller than 7/16-14. Maybe a 7/16 fine thread?
