    1991 7.3 IDI engine, runs $500 SOLD

    This 7.3 IDI ran strong but did use a quart of oil every week. I stopped driving the truck a year ago after the door and cab got smashed in an accident. I have had it in there since it was freshened up in 2011 with rings, bearings and valve job. It has not been overheated or run low on oil. I...

    Rear axle speed sensor questions

    I was pretty sure that this rear axle out of my 1990 F250 idi would not work in my 1992 e4od bronco because the 1990 axle has no speed sensor for the trans computer to read. Now I am reading that my e4od has a electric speed sensor in the tailshaft and the diff tone ring is for abs ( I don't...

    70% WMO unheated in winter. Fuel pump options?

    I would go with an electric pump but 70% wmo with temps in the teens leaves me with few options for a lift pump, at least as far as I have seen. I am considering running a very small belt driven pto pump that comes on when I switch to wmo mix and an electric carrier pump when on diesel. My...

    I am going to get slammed for even saying this.

    I know that the "proper" way to start my IDI is to turn the key on until the WTS light goes out and then crank. BUT, if it is below freezing or so, my truck will not start that way. But even well below freezing, if I put in the key and start cranking right away, it starts hitting here and...

    Black truck is getting a Dana60 kingpin!

    I cut my axle out of the donor today. :sly It was less than free. I actually made money on the truck plus got the Dana 60. :angel: It has a 3.55 ratio which does not match my 4.10 rear. I did not grab the 3.55 rear out of the donor truck because I really prefer the 4.10, plus...

    My buddy at the scrap yard just spotted a Dana60

    My friend is the scale master at a scrap yard. Someone just scrapped an 86' F350 4x4. He said bring $150 cash. I get to pull it. If it is the real deal, I am going to cut it out above the spring hangers and panhard bar and cut the pitman arm. In other words, I am taking everything. Crossing my...

    Which centrifuge should I buy?

    I have been filtering my WMO down to 5 microns using fuel filters. It is not enough. I am getting a buildup in my injectors. I have been running wmo through a cheap "test mule" 6.9 in my pickup. After 10-15K miles, I have learned that it works, but the suspended carbon/soot in the filtered wmo...

    My crew cab 4x4 diesel zf swap, short bed swap has begun.

    I got this as a 1986 F350 longbed crewcab 4x4 460 c6. I sold the bed because it was a 1995 and had the wrong wheelwell for my '86. I also sold the 460 and c6 trans. I traded a 454 engine core for this solid Oklahoma bed from an '86.
