    I-beam bushing question

    So what were sayin is pretty much the whole axle comes out? You can't just pry it out of the way enough to get the bushing out?

    Got another Idi with a good motor

    Have 2 glow plugs I cannot get out of the head and I'm sure it's low on compression. also i think it burns more oil than fuel. time for a new engine that one was free and served its purpose for a year lol

    Got another Idi with a good motor

    It is a cross between an 86 f250 and an 86 f150. The electrical system is kind of crap but it sat 4 months and it was about 14 when i started it. Took me about 10 minutes to start it and it purrs like a kitten. The story is the guy put 3500 in it about 10 years ago and just used it around the...

    My 250 dollar rig.

    This ole girl sat in a barn for 20 years with a blown head gasket. The guy sold it to me with 105,xxx original miles and gave me an extra engine for 250 bucks. I spent about 600 in bearings and brakes and tires and she was running on the road like a dream. The engine I put in was just a free...

    Pulled my truck at the fair!

    I figure i was a little less then 7,000 pounds pulling in the 8,000 pound class. I pulled just under 175 feet. I thought it did ok the engines a little wore out and i wasn't too the floor either. I was suprised at first I didn't think it was going to pull it with the tires i got on it.

    Pulled my truck at the fair!

    This is not technically my daily driver because i have my other truck. Since may this year i've pu almost 5000 miles on it though and she is still running strong. I pulled in 2nd gear low range and didn't have my foot too the floor, so I think if i did it again I may get a little further...

    Finally getting insurance on my 6.9 this weekend. It still smokes kinda bad and doesn't start worth a shit. Does anyone know where to get the round glow plug connectors at? I cannot find them anywhere. Hopefully some of the smoke clears up....and If it does not I'm thinking about rebuilding...

    Does this look healthy?

    Well I think I have figured out the fuel drain back situation. Now I need those round style glow plug connectors anyone know where to get any? It actually runs fairly good when it gets warmed up now, but I am beginning to wonder if that IP needs to get rebuilt. Also needs new tie rod ends as...

    Does this look healthy?

    Well a little update on the truck. Since then the fuel has been draining back even worse. I by-passed the water separator and now I have fuel at the filter after sitting overnight. The darn thing won't start without ether though after sitting. I am thinking maybe some back glow plugs...

    Not for the past 3 weeks. The truck is back home in Rockford IL. I am down in peoria for school and haven't had a chance to go home. It makes it hard to have a project when it is 150 miles away! It does help though because I'm in an internship with Caterpillar called the think big program to...

    Does this look healthy?

    Ya the guy that owned this truck before me said that it ran like this for the 10 years he had it on the road. Shortly before he bought it the IP and headgaskets were replaced. So prob 15 years ago or so? I have a new set of injectors I will see if that makes a difference with new return lines...
