    5x8 Trailer

    2003 Pro Haul all steal low boy tag a long. Second owner. You wont find a heavier duty or well built 5x8. Only reason for selling, and I really hate to, is bills. Price may seem a little high but I purchased it from Home Depot in '10 and they claimed even with their wholesale connections they...

    Latest Load

    I was told the tractor was around 5k lbs and the trailer is 2,5k. Either way she didnt break a sweat.

    Still Here, But Not With An IDI...

    Been real busy lately so I havent had much time to post. As some may know my E4OD had been on the brink for long while and even though Ive been trying to save since I bought the truck a year ago, things havent worked out as Id hoped. Funny, a bank wont lend you the money for a new trans but they...

    Starting Issue

    Just clicks nothing else. Checked a cleaned all connections and still nothing but clicking. Starter looks like it could be replaced. Do our trucks have seperate solenoids or are they on the starter?? I asked because my old foxbody mustang had a seperate solenoid just like the one in this pic...

    CC 350 4x4 CL VA

    Asking price is probably high for a lot of you guys but thats what they go for (roundabouts) around here, even in the current condition. If I had 1,8-2k to spend I could part it out and make money off of it. I dont, so anyone who might be interested....theres always complaining about finding...

    Trans Discussion

    Some here may know that Ive mentioned my E4 has been on borrowed time. Well it very recently has been progressing a little faster. However, this is not a thread to debate a diagnosis or repair, moreso which direction to go in for replacing. Money is extremely tight so the most inexpensive...

    SQUEALING!!!

    The only gripe I have with my serp belt is the inherent squealing. Ive replaced the tensioner pulley, belt, and most recently the water pump to no avail. I cant see where theres anything wrong while its running and Im looking at it. Only thing I can think of maybe would be how the belt lines...

    Water Pump Time

    Getting ready to replace the h2o pump. Any advice or things to watch for? I read somewhere that incorrect installation of the water pump could affect the IP?? Is that true??? Thanks, Jon

    Overloaded Trailer?

    More wood I picked up over the weekend. Brought the little heavy duty trailer because I didnt want to have the truck tied up for a couple of days plus I can fit more in the trailer. Its a "5x8" that actually measures 5'6"x8'10" all steel with a 3000lb axle. Trailer weighs 1100lbs dry and has...

    Fuel Filler Neck

    So Im well aware theres a mod to fix the issue with the rear neck and I plan on doing it. My question is why the filling issue only happens with, we'll say "civillian" diesel pump nozzles, versus truck filling stations? Whenever I stop at a regular gas station with diesel nozzles same size...

    Worked The 7.3 A Little

    Buddy of mine had a couple of trees already cut down but were hanging off over a creek and needed to be pulled up on solid ground before cutting up. First tree I pulled. It was hung up on the concrete slab and took quite a bit of effort to get up. The pieces to the left were what we had to...

    Almost A Diesel

    I know this isnt IDI related but we all know this is the most active forum on the boards and I know we have at least one animal lover in here, so, got a new puppy yesterday. Reason for the title was because when we first looked at her we thought she was a male and I thought the color had DIESEL...

    Fuel Leak & Crooked Bed

    So I found a leak coming from the rubber hose on the 2nd injector from front on the drivers side. What kind of hose do I need to get, just regular fuel line? Also what size is it and will I need to bleed the system after replacing? Second thing is I just noticed today after riding through...

    This Is What They Go For Around Here

    Ive mentioned before the truck market around here but today I ran across this good example. This is a '93 F350 XLT 460 E4OD 2WD with 193k, for 6,7k. It was a nice truck and in comparable shape to mine minus the couple of little rust spots mine has. It had normal wear but looked...

    IP/Gov Questions

    So I see all different people saying different things about the "govener" on their rigs. Some say it cuts in as low as 1,9k, others 3,6K. Whats the factory spring on different years (specifically mine:) )? What exactly does it do? Is it just the IP cuts off or what? Will the engine keep...

    The Right Stuff?

    Bought strips & hopefully the right kind of coolant with the SCAs already in it, as this is long overdue. Are these what I need? About the strips, theres no directions as to what colors to look for. Or rather a scale to judge good/poor. Any help is appreciated. Thx, Jon

    Love It Or Hate It

    Not an IDI but pretty interesting. Wish they had specs. Those look like 'Mogs under there. http://apps.detnews.com/apps/blogs/scottburgessblog/index.php?blogid=1312

    Fuel Filter/Water Seperator

    They say a picture is worth a lot of words, so this is what Im replacing.. Seems pretty straightforward. Unscrew the bottom piece, drain. Remove filter from top piece, replace? Any advice would be great as Im getting ready to do this in a few minutes. I did pick up some diesel to...

    IP Question

    There's a little plunger looking thing that is below the throttle return, looks like its on top of part of the injection pump. Mine has no pressure, its just flops up and down by hand. Symptoms are not wanting to start and once started and driven cutting off coming to a stop. Once it starts...
