    Headlight Switch, Dimmer Switch, Relay Mod(s), etc.

    Thanks for everyone's replies! I just plan on buying the components and wiring it in myself. I want to do it, because I plan on putting the cab lights on a relay, as well as setting up a couple more relays for driving/fog lights, as well as back-up lights. So, I need all the practice I can...

    Headlight Switch, Dimmer Switch, Relay Mod(s), etc.

    Well hello Oilburner Community! I have been on this forum for a little while, I just haven't posted much. I have to say, of all the forums I have been a part of, this one is hands-down the best one! Okay, down to business. The vehicle in question is a 1994 F-250 turbo diesel, 5-speed. My...

    and then she ran away.....

    Question for the OP: In your case, did the engine give you any indication that it was going to run-away? Not only the minutes up to it running away, but days, weeks, months, etc. prior to the event? BTW, I am sorry to hear that happened to your truck; glad you weren't injured!

    Reason to pump your own fuel, OR residents.

    Well, the thinking is that when a person exits the vehicle and slides across the seat, they can build a static charge on themselves. Then, when they touch the nozzle they discharge the static charge and cause a small spark; and that small spark can ignite gasoline fumes. There isn't as much...

    Reason to pump your own fuel, OR residents.

    Well, Oregon and New Jersey are the only two states in the United States that have it written into their state law that motor-vehicle operators are not allow to pump their own gasoline at the "typical" fuel stations (e.g. Shell, Chevron, Exxon, 76, etc.) One reason they don't allow people to...

    Reason to pump your own fuel, OR residents.

    Yep, you are correct sir, ORS 480.330 says that an owner, operator, or attendant has to operate any part of the fuel pumps for a CLASS I fuel.....of which you pointed out, diesel is not a CLASS I fuel in the State of Oregon. Yeah, the guy had little man syndrome bad. I know for a fact that my...

    Reason to pump your own fuel, OR residents.

    I actually got my ass chewed by an attendant at a fueling station in my hometown (in Oregon of course) for using the diesel pump on my own. I have done it a thousand times, and this one attendant starting saying I was just some dumb kid and that if he ever caught me doing it again, he would...

    Warn Winch Bumper on Craigslist (Salem, OR area)

    I am not too much of a chrome guy myself. I do like lights though! :D However, I would make an exception with this bumper in a heartbeat! They are an awesome looking bumper, and getting more and more rare as the days go by....

    Warn Winch Bumper on Craigslist (Salem, OR area)

    I know there are many people that like these bumpers. If I had the money, I would buy it. However, I am just a poor college student that can barely keep my rigs running, let alone trying to buy extra special parts. Don't know if the price is right, but maybe it is for someone. Just...

    1994 F250/350 IDI Turbo Diesel Parts

    As the title says, I have some parts for an IDI turbo diesel that I am looking at selling. I have a E40D transmission (still connected to transfer-case) out of a 1994 F-250 IDI Turbo Diesel. Nothing wrong with it, just did a 5sp swap on the truck. Has been kept under cover out of the...

    New to me Toyo M55's

    Brad S. They are in fact a Toyo brand. They are the M-55. As far as the tires not "chunking", I think it is just the compound of the rubber. It is really tough. Another person I worked with was running the Toyo A/T tires and within 6 months the tires were completely trashed. They had...

    New to me Toyo M55's

    Those are some darn good tires! The truck I drove at work this past summer had em. They did great in the mud (for what they are), they handled very good on the road, and best of all, I never had them "chunk-out" driving on gravel. I would easily put 100 miles of gravel road driving a day on...

    Truck Running Rough...Sometimes...

    Thank you everyone for the replies! This is all great information, and I will pass it on. I really hope to get this problem nailed down, and I will suggest to my father-in-law-to-be the things ya'll are tellin' me. I think we are going to pull the rear tank and take a look in there. See...

    Truck Running Rough...Sometimes...

    That is a good idea! I will just swap them on the truck and see if rear tank will run better than the front. A free and easy test! I like it.

    Truck Running Rough...Sometimes...

    Thank you Heath for that explanation. That really helps. I just asked my fiancee if her dad has mention anything to her before about the truck using oil, and she said he has never mentioned anything about it. I have not noticed it using oil either. It is interesting you mentioned the CDR...

    Truck Running Rough...Sometimes...

    Heath - I will pass this on to my father-in-law to be, and see what we can do about putting a gauge on there. I have always felt like the truck is lagging in power. But, I was told the truck was freshly rebuilt before my fiancee got a hold of it, so I wrote is off due to the bigger tires on...

    Truck Running Rough...Sometimes...

    So, does anyone else have any suggestions. I am pretty new to diesels, and trying to learn what I can. But this problem just has me stumped.

    Truck Running Rough...Sometimes...

    Typ4 - I am located in Corvallis at the present time. I honestly don't know much about the truck, beings it isn't mine. I was told that the truck was "rebuilt" before they bought it. To what extent, I have no idea. I don't know what was done. Yes, my future father-in-law is near Coos Bay...

    Truck Running Rough...Sometimes...

    Howdy, This post pertains to a '94 F-250 IDIT. It is actually my fiancees truck (pretty awesome she drives one of these good ol' trucks :love:), so I don't get to drive it all the time. However, the time I get to drive it the most is when we take a longer trip to our hometown. Here...

    Question about turbos

    Alright, that clears it up for me then. Thank you very much for the quick responses! I will probably be starting another thread in the near future about this particular truck not running correctly, and it might have something to do with the turbo. Just gotta do some research about posting...

    Question about turbos

    Howdy Everyone! This past weekend my soon-to-be-father-in-law and I were working on my fiancees truck due to some issue with it running rough. Although we haven't figured that problem out (and I will probably start a different thread on it), we noticed something very peculiar about her...
