    C6 to zf5 speed swap complete!

    With the help of another member on oil burners, I got the swap done. Now I just have to get the front axle swapped in. I gotta say we fought the turbos and the pedal assembly the most. I'm not sure if they were different generation Banks turbos or just the fact that one was for an auto and one...

    Overheating

    My 85 has been overheating a lot. It goes through a pile of coolant and I'm not sure if it's mostly leaking in the ground or going out the tail pipe. I'll fill it up anytime drive it and hour and it will start to overheat. I stop and it's 1 to 2 gallons low. Good pressure on the system. It...

    4x4 swap question

    I haven't posted in quite some time. I have 2 85 cc drw 6.9s. both were automatic 2wd. One was swapped to a 4x4 5 speed before I got it. That one is Rusty and my new one is rust free. I have both sitting side by side in my driveway. I want to swap the good truck to 4x4. It should basically be...

    On way home, injector line broke in half!

    On my way home from my trip and about an hour and a half to go my injector line broke in half by the pump. No idea how that happened. Can I drive her home the rest of the way? Thanks in advance

    Going on long trip today. Need help.

    It's an 85 cc drw 6.9 with a banks gated turbo. It has a c6 and I imagine it has 410 gears. How fast can I go for an extended period of time and still be ok? I don't have a tach so I don't know what rpm it is at when going 60 or 65 or so

    Glow plug issue on 6.9

    My 85 cc drw 2wd that I just bought has a banks gated sidewinder on it. The other day I went out to start it and it started fine. I moved it a few feet and shut it off. I went back out hours later and the gp light didn't come on. I couldn't start it worth a damn. I then turned the key on and off...

    Air conditioning issue.

    85 cc drw 6.9 auto. Bought the truck and guy said he replaced blower motor.( I believe the round thing in front of the glove box passenger side.). The AC works, blows cold air but not very much pressure. When I switch from low to high, I can hear the fan blowing more, but it isn't much pressure...

    Starting issue

    My 85 has been starting hard. When I bought it a few months ago, it started like a champ in 40 to 50 degrees. I changed the fuel filter when I got it and ever since it seems like it starts hard. I figured air in the lines, but I have driven it a few thousand miles. Wouldn't the air be out by...

    Oil consumption issue

    I wanted to change my oil pressure sensor and CDR valve. I have an 85 6.9 with a banks gated turbo on it. My oil pressure says below normal almost all the time, it does go to the "N" sometimes tho. It used to work or read in the normal a couple months ago. It also uses a bit of oil. Maybe a...

    Heater problem, not much air blowing out

    My truck has decent heat, and supposedly a/c, but I can't switch from vent to defrost to floor, and the air that does come out isn't fast at all. It seems slower than what the low setting would be. It has a new blower motor, any ideas? It seems like it pushes air a tiny bit faster after it runs...

    Cruise control question

    Thinking of doing a manual swap in my 85 ccdrw and was wondering if my cruise will still work after the swap. I didn't know if the cruise was related to the transmission or more so the throttle. I had one swapped truck once and cruise didn't work. Maybe a dumb quotation but I was just curious.

    Couple leaks after start up

    I have a couple questions. My truck is an 85 cc 6.9 dually with an auto c6. I started it this morning when it was 25 degrees out, and walked in the house. Now there is a puddle about the size of a baseball, maybe a little bigger right under the driver side of the radiator but just under the...

    New southern truck, how to stop rust

    I just bought a real clean 85 cc drw 6.9. I live in Wisconsin and the truck is from Missouri. What can I do to prevent the rust or at least slow it down. I have heard the under coating if done wrong can actually be worse for it. Any advice is much appreciated. I will be driving it in the winter...

    I haven't been working on the old 85 for a few days, I have been occupied with my new 6.0 :) I ordered the new frost plugs from Ford, pack of seven. I shouldn't have any trouble with the one,I can get at that pretty easy. How do I get the one under the Frame on the drivers side. It's...

    a little trouble with cruise...

    Started my truck, it was about 35 degrees out. Let it idle for a minute And drove off. Took it real easy up to 55. Little white smoke on startup when I tapped the throttle. Got to 55 mph And set cruise. 3 seconds later the truck shook a little And went out of cruise. Tried it again And same...

    so what are these diesels supposed to sound like?

    At idle, it sounds like a diesel I guess, but when I'm at about 1700 to 2000 RPMs, not accelerating but just holding it there, it sounds different. Not a tick, not a knock but it almost sounds like a robot chewbacca lol. Its like a soft knock, high pitch, but soft.really hard to explain. This is...

    First couple days with new 6.0, Just got back from a 600 mile trip....

    Just went on a 600 mile trip, in which the truck was pulling a 4 horse horse trailer for about 450 miles of it. Truck seemed to pull fine. No smoke during pulling. Fluid levels seem fine as well. I averaged 13 mpg pulling at about 67-70. Is that about normal? I know i need to get a tuner...

    I don't have a picture right now, but I'm buttoning everything up right now on the truck, but the hard fuel line running from the pump back to the tank I'm having a hard time remembering what hooks into it. the part that confuses me is the two nipples on the end that doesn't connect to the pump...

    replacing valve stem seals?

    My head is back in the engine, And this may sound like a stupid question, but can the valve stem seals And the other things that came with a head gasket kit be replaced when head is in engine? Or do the heads need to come out? Also, is it pretty extensive? What special tools do I need
