    Heater Core Replacement - Suggestions Appriciated

    You're not lying! I replaced the original heater core (FoMoCo) with the same thing and, just as it had before, it'll throw out some serious heat! The original had a tiny, pin-sized, hole near the bottom. The whole process was a breeze even with the weather refusing to cooperate. Thanks...

    Heater Core Replacement - Suggestions Appriciated

    Greetings fellow Oil Burners! I need to replace the Heater Core in my '86 F250 w/ Air Conditioning. I've read this along with some other posts regarding the replacement proceedure. What I haven't really been able to find is which Heater Core to replace mine with? I've read that Motorcraft are...

    Power Steering Pulley

    Thanks for that heads-up. I knew that I read "5 7/8" on here somewhere, but I was told by two people (locally) that I was wrong. Small "victories"!

    Thanks for the heads-up everyone. I've noted the diameter (5 3/4) and will begin my hunt tomorrow. Thanks again, and I hope everyone has a great New Year!

    Power Steering Pulley

    Wow! I wasn't expecting any replies this fast, let alone that many. Yes we have a tool to remove the pulley, and we got it off of the pump. The first person to have a go at it (side-note, not me!) used one of those 3-prong type of tools. That obviously isn't what you're supposed to use. So...

    Power Steering Pulley

    Greetings! I'm sorry if this has been discussed somewhere, but I've been searching for a while and haven't found a clear answer... My father and I are replacing the Power Steering Pump on my '86 6.9, but the Pulley has to be replaced (long story). Does anyone know where I can find *just* the...

    Honest Mechanic In North-Central Florida?

    I need to find someone to go over my truck and LMK of any glaring issues...but I have a really hard time trusting mechanics. Does anyone know an honest / reputable mechanic in North-Central Florida that is good with IDIs and won't screw me over? I know there are things that need to be...

    I need air...

    This. The only thing I need to finish to "bring my truck back" to being just like Gramps had it when he bought it new, is working AC. But I don't know the first thing...other than how to use it in the cab. :D It blows, just not cold. I can hear something "activating" under the passenger-side...

    Ebay Finds. Factory Manuals/Numerous Years

    Yeah I would love some links. Trying to find then landed me on that YouTube thing, but I'd LOVE to have the DVDs to rip to my iPad for while in the shop.

    Anyone run Rotella 15w40

    Thanks for the information. I've found a shop in Gainesville that has that filter in stock so I will swing by on my way home and pick it up. Will keep the FL1995 as a spare, for that "just in case" situation.

    Ohhhh! Got'cha. I'm having "one of those days". cookoo

    Anyone run Rotella 15w40

    What would the "best" filter be? I'll use what I bought for now, but I'd like to bookmark what I need to get next time. And what is a "Napa oil rinse"? I Googled it, but didn't see anything...unless your doing your hair. lol

    Anyone run Rotella 15w40

    I bought the Motorcraft FL1995...I think. It's the one for the PSD that holds an extra quart. I figured it'd be good because it's Motorcraft.

    Anyone run Rotella 15w40

    Okay, well...lol, I guess I'll use it, monitor the consumption, and do a somewhat early flush and see how it goes. Sorry If I'm sounding like I'm trying to be a PITA. I assure you I'm not. I'm just not as knowledgeable about these things as everyone else here, and I'm still learning. I...

    Anyone run Rotella 15w40

    Well just to be safe I'm going to buy a different oil locally. I'll see if I can return the Rotella since it already shipped. I don't know enough about this stuff to sift through the BS, to be honest.

    Books Besides Haynes and Chiltons

    There are a couple manuals I found for '93s and '94s on eBay. If you spot one for an '86, let me know! I searched for "1986 ford idi diesel manual" and those results. They were in the $25 range, except one was going for $59 and was beat to hell!

    Anyone run Rotella 15w40

    I attempted to cancel the order from Amazon, but it said that the order was close to shipping so they may not be able to cancel it (damn you Amazon Prime!). If they don't ship it, I'll buy something locally. If they do indeed ship it, I'll run it for a short duration and drain it. I've...

    Anyone run Rotella 15w40

    Yeah, that's probably what I'll end up doing. I can just pick up some oil from a local auto parts store. Shame, though, as I got the 3 Gallons of Rotella for next to nothing. I'd feel a LOT worse if I came across this thread moments after I did the oil change!
