I am leaving for Bandon, OR from Marin, CA. I am heading up Hwy 101 the whole way. I will pick on Monday and turn around and come back. I will have a 6'x18' trailer. Empty on the way north. Pretty much full on the way back but room for smaller items.
I recently bought a 1992 E350 diesel van with no transmission. One wrecking yard told me that I could use a 1992-1994 transmission. I don't know the differences between the different years of transmissions. I think I found a C6 from behind a 1986 IDI diesel. Will this bolt up to the adapter...
I just got home 5 minutes ago and smelled oil from my 7.3 Excursion. I popped the hood and shined my flashlight on the engine. I have an oil leak. There is oil in the valley, oil leaking down the engine, oil down the undercarriage and oil on the uhaul trailer I am returning tomorrow. What are...
Troy list price is @ $350. I have seen them for about $300+/- on police supply sites. It is used and came out of a police Crown Vic. I prefer face to face because of weight. Perfect for ham radio or CB.
Price is $50.
Pictures to follow.
Info from Troy Products...
Came out of Crown and Gillig school buses. They were pulled as spares from buses being scraped. I can strap to a pallet and deliver to a terminal up to 30 miles for no charge but I would prefer you inspect before buying.
SOLD.
Is this allowed by the powers that be? Something like a 1992-94 F350 with a bad 460. Using a 7.3 IDI diesel of the same year from a wrecked F350 to replace the 460. Is this a capital crime?
First, I know it's not an IDI... but this is where all the cool kids hang out.:sly
A buddy has a 97 with around 300k on it. 7.3 Power Stroke with a 5 sp. manual. Engine was rebuilt @ 20k miles ago. Trans was rebuild too. It's a cab and chassis but he will throw in a flat bed. I took it...
I picked up a muffler from ACME in Stockton from my bus. It's 5 in and 5 out. It's close to new. I also picked up adapters. On my bus, the pipe from the turbo is 3.5" I think into 4" into muffler. Someone told me the I shouldn't go to a 5". I would loose power. This is behind a P-Pump...
I bought this truck about a dozen years ago. I had it towed to my place and dumped. I think it's a GMC but might be a Chevy. 3/4 ton, 6.2L diesel, 4 speed manual with granny low. I've never started it. I might want to get it on the road but don't want to spend tons of cash doing it. The...
I am looking at a 1994 Intl truck with an IDI. This is an auction vehicle and the listing states that the truck starts but does not run. I have not been able to get ahold of someone that can explain the problem with the engine.
Here is my question, what kind of issues could cause something...
It ran before but not too sure now. I think the mileage is 243k. 350 engine, 4sp OD auto. Front and rear bumper are gone. I'm not going to do anything with it in this lifetime. I'm asking $600 plus a case of Sierra Neveda. The Sierra Nevada in non-negotiable. The truck is located in...
I'm 1200 miles from home and might have a problem with my DT466. If anyone could give advice, please go there and see what I wrote. Thanks.
Update. Spoke with injection guy. He does think that is my problem.
DT466 injector question.
I am my way back from TN to CA. I am in Albuquerque, NM right now at a Flying J. Climbing up the hills, there seemed to be a vibration when I gave it peddle. As I crested a hill and started to go down hill, everything smoothed out without a load. I am in a 1997 Intl...
I started this thread to see what kind of accelerated wear is happening to engine parts by using waste oil and what can be done to minimize the wear. Some dump the oil straight from the drain pan into their fuel tank and call it good. Others filter while others run the oil through a...
I am picking up a vehicle in Pulaski, TN pretty soon. I will be flying into Nashville and looking for a ride to my location. I am willing to pay for the ride. I tried looking into public transportation that is nonexistent. If anyone can help, shoot me a PM. Thanks.
I know this isn't the...
I have some equipment I need brought down to Modesto. I am moving the stuff to a friends property west of Portland for safekeeping. Time is not as critical as keeping the cost down. PM with any questions.
I might go look at a pickumup truck that's not running. Seller told me that everything was fine then started acting like it was running out of gas. Could this be fuel pump, fuel filter, injector pump (or whatever it's called on an IDI)? What should I look for? Thanks.
I have a buddy that has a 7.3 IDI engine that he wants to sell for $350. There is water in the oil. He suspects it might be the oil cooler but not sure. Everything is there but the starter. Is this a fair price. Is there a chance of internal damage from water oil mix being left in there for...
Everyone seems to have different mix ratios they use. Which ratios worked and which ones didn't. Also, what engines are you running your mix through? 6.9/7.3 IDI, 7.3 PS, Cummins 1st, 2nd, 3rd Gen or Chevy?
I have recently purchased a 2000 E350 with a 7.3 PS that I want to run a WMO mix...
I was thinking about something like this when I found this setup at Sinister Diesel. Does this work as advertised and how does it work? Some have written that the return should not be regulated. Curious minds want to know...
