    Water pump explosion!

    I let a friend borrow my truck to pickup a deuce and a half and (luckily) it let loose before he picked up the trailer. It chucked a belt, took out the fan shroud and there is literly inches of side to side play when you grab the fan :eek: I got to test out the new tow pig, 03' Excursion...

    Looking to buy a 2003 Excursion with a 6.0

    I've been wanting an Excursion for some time, nearly bought a V10 truck but things changed and I bought a commuter car instead (thank god). Now I'm back in the Excursion market and I want a diesel for the obvious power and mileage over the V10 options. I'm going to go look at this truck this...

    Body Swap - 9th Gen body on a 87 F350 Frame

    My 86' has a spongy body on it that I want to replace with a 90's body if I can. Has anyone swapped body's over successfully? The running gear and frame in the one ton is fine, everything is legit - but the floors are soft, the fender-wells are gone, and the windows are slow as molasses in...

    Whats this part?

    Installing my electric fuel pump and being that the line has already been cut and had rubber line on it this should be an easy install. Pump is out - was removing this line off the pump to the filler head and its got a wire on it... Whats it for? Is it a heater?

    Have IP & Injectors - need timing...

    I've had a set of BB injectors and a fresh IP sitting in a box for quite some time - my 6.9 starts and runs fine, but I know it is down on power. I can replace the injectors and IP just fine, but everything sits on a shelf because I don't have a way to time the engine when I'm done. I've...

    Cooling with Propane

    I want to start off saying if you are going to bitch about safety or explosions, this is not the thread for you, keep the ignorance out of here please... My 86' has A/C, but it doesn't blow cool air. I've tested the schrader on the A/C rail and I've still got good pressure, so I've got a...

    Airbag Question

    My 86' F350 has new rear springs in it and it rides ROUGH. I would like it to ride a bit better and I'm thinking of doing it with air bags. Here is my idea: I would take apart my leaf packs and remove a few leafs to soften the ride up and get my load capacity and ride height back with...

    Turbo Stuff

    Ok, I got a line on a turbo setup on Pirate and jumped on it, turbo stuff on the way for cheap. This is what I got, what am I missing? It comes with these parts too- It looks like there is some fixable damage on one of the pipes - I've got a welder and some skills, so that shouldn't...

    ZF5 Transmission Question

    I'm going to be receiving a ZF5 out of a 90' F250 gasser - I would LOVE to swap out my T19 for the 5 speed, I *thought* there was some issues swapping a gasser ZF into a diesel - will this bolt up to my 6.9IDI or will I have to make some modifications? Are there different gear ratio's between...

    Truck Won't Start

    Did a little driving around last night and when I parked the truck I lost all power. The lights shut off, stereo cut and it wouldn't crank. I checked the battery cables on both batteries and wiggled them for good measure, nothing. I did confirm today that I've got hazards and brake...

    Sparks

    I went to plug in my truck as it takes a LOT of cranking to get it to fire now that it's ~10* or lower and the cord started sparking right by the head with the prongs :mad: Is the cord replaceable? I'd like to be able to plug it in to help with starting - the GP light comes on for around 10...

I bought this truck with the main purpose to tow my trailer and Bronco - I've been borrowing a 99' 5.7 Tahoe with success, but...
