    Good Zf5 rebuilder

    i know this gets asked from time to time but most threads I find are either old or the result is not good. Anybody have a source for good zf5s. Midwest sounds good on their web sight but their reviews aren't great. Seems like every reman story I hear takes a couple tries before you get a good...

    Idi-t flywheel advise

    I put an idi-t motor in my 1990 7.3 zf 5 4x4 truck a couple years ago and at the time didn't know of the differences in harmonic balances and flywheels. Has always been vibey. I got a idi-t balancer from a member here and that straightened out vibes at certain rpm but there is still another...

    front driveline up grade recommendations

    Well I blew the double cardan part of my front drive shaft up on my 93 crew cab f350 d60 truck yesterday. Truck is cummins powered so a stock driveshaft isn't the right length so it needs to be custom anyway. Question is has anyone done an improved set up they would recommend while i was at...

    zf5 service manual

    I was reading the great tech article on rebuilding a zf5 and would like to have the manual before I give it a shot. The link in the article seems to no longer work so any ideas? Does the regular factory shop manual cover transmission rebuild? Thanks.

    Where to get a turbo harmonic balancer?

    I've been hunting down this vibration for a while and it is now pointing to the wrong harmonic balancer. Truck is a 91 f350 that was originally na then re motored with a promar idi-t motor. The new motor got the balancer off the old motor and now I have been told that the turbo is supposed to...

    Weird vibe

    I had a breakthrough on a vibration I've had for a couple years now and am now trying to nail it down. The truck is a 1990 rc f350 reg cab 4x4 zf5 that I had a new promar rebuild put in as well as well as a moose pump bb injectors from russ. I got the turbo motor from the idit models. I...

    gear vendors testing

    Power steering one way?

    I went to move a trailer around with my dads f250 and found it only has power steering in one direction. It's like pinky steering one way and no help at all the other. I asked him wtf since he babies this truck to no end. He said his mech couldn't figure it out. Can't be that hard to figure...

    Turning down a moose pump

    Question is, will a full moose pump turn down to anywhere near a stock pump. Does turning it down have any efficiency conflicts by making it do something it's not designed for. With it in stock (moose pump) configuration I only get about 12.5 mpg loaded with my pop up camper. That's with a...

    93-97 rear end differences?

    I may have the opportunity to get the rear end off of a 97 f350 psd with an arb air locker in it and am wondering if there would be any complications bolting it up to my 93 idi. I'm thinking if I can just swap the whole thing drum to drum that would be the best. Are there any differences in...

    Exhaust brake on a idi

    I vaguely remember a while back that I heard exhaust brakes and idi were a bad combo. I really want this to be bs. Is an exhaust brake bad for an idi in particular and if so how bad and in what way. I'd be willing to use it sparingly if its just mildly bad. The exhaust brake that I have is a...

    Anybody here run a rear shackle flip? Diesel crawler runs one but on a dedicated crawler. I want to know of anyones ride impressions especially towing and loaded down. I love the idea of running a shorter or no block to have the same ride height. Thanks

    Rsk and SD springs

    I was about to start asking questions on the bilsein thread but thought this might be a topic for its own thread. Id like to do whatever it takes to get my 91 f350 to not beat the crap out of me off road (barring always having a ton or two in the back). Brad said they only make the rsk for...

    Need a new motor....suggestions?

    I have a 93 idi with a sidewinder on it that most likely has a cracked piston. If I try to get a new crate motor whats going to be the best? Should I get a factory ford turbodiesel or get a regular na and put a sidewinder on it? I dont mind puting some money to good use on it but I will be...

    factory turbo vs aftermarket

    Hey guys, I'm new here but not to idi. Does anybody here think that the factory 94 turbo idi motor is effectivly better than putting a sidewinder on a regular na? Does putting a turbo on an idi shorten its lifespan? Sorry about my lack of pictures or details of my rigs, Ill get them on...
