    84 E-250 Barn Find

    I took a chance on a van I saw on FB that a scrapper was listing as one owner/low mile. Drove ten hours to Anderson SC and picked it up in the Hurricane!

    WTS Voltage

    Could some check the voltage from the GP controller to the WTS light for me. I have no light and I am reading 4.5v. The PO cut the wire coming out of the WTS light and grounded it. It used to loop back to the GP harness and power the fuel heater and water in fuel light.

    What in the World?

    My truck started smoking white (unburned fuel?) and missing, So I used my had to rev the throttle under the hood while watching the exhaust to see if it would clear with a little rpm. I was probably at about 2000 rpm and heard a pop and then a loud bop, bop, bop, coming from the intake with each...

    I need some help. The ole girl left me on the side of the road yesterday. Just died when I switched tanks going down the road. So I pull over and switch back to the other and crank...and crank!

    Factory Trailer Harness?

    I need some help here. 89 F250 7.3, ZF5, and factory tow package. So it has the two four pin connectors located at the rear to go to a seven pin plug. I have no power at these pugs but all normal truck features function correctly. What route does the factory harness connectors take? Why do I...

    Wait to Start

    My 89 f250 that I just installed the engine from my sig truck has a weird WTS issue. The GP relay comes on and stays for 8-10 secs and then off as normal and as it did in the old truck. But no WTS light. I pulled the dash thinking bulb, but when I applied 12v and ground to the light cluster it...

    Engine swap time

    Well I wrecked my sig truck and picked up an 89 with five speed and a cracked head. So I pulled the jasper out of red and getting ready for the swap. Couple questions crossed my mind. The PO says the 89 has a "new" clutch. What do I need to know about or look for on these DMF clutches? I am...

    Cracked Head

    I wrecked my 84' and picked up an 89' with 7.3 that has a cracked head. Couple of questions come to mind. Is the valley pan reusable? There is a little film of rust in the cylinders where the PO had the head off, can I just clean that with scotch brite (no ring ridge by the way)? I am going to...

    Brake Master Cylinder

    I have done a little searching and haven't found an answer, so I am turning to the crew! I am on my second MC in about a year. First one (don't know how old) started leaking around the booster so I installed a NAPA replacement. Now after about 10 months this is leaking...yep around the booster...

    Super Duty Axle Swap

    Well I bit the bullet and bought a 04' F350 (SRW) 10.5 Sterling with 3:73 gears to go in the beast. Pulling the tractor on a flat bed with 3:07 gears was no fun but pulling the new 33ft camper was murder.

    Axle conversion Ideas?

    My 84 truck has the 3:07 rear end gears and it will barely spin the tires in the gravel LOL It doesn't help that the C6 is so weak that you have to hit 1200 RPM before the truck starts moving. I can pick up a axle from a 96 F250 (5.8L) with 3:55 gears for $150. I am about to retire this truck...

    Temp sensor melt down

    As some of you know I just got the ole girl up and running after a busted flexplate and today I smell rubber burning and see smoke while idling and lift the hood to see the high idle control sensor melted and smoking! Have any of you ever seen this? The idle screw vibrated out of my throttle...

    Chasing the prime!

    I have been reluctant to start a thread on this, but need help. I am losing prime on my truck in as little as thirty minutes or less. I have sealed any external leaks and checked all my lines. It seems to lose on the pre-filter side, meaning that if I hold the schrader valve open it takes...

    F250 leveling kit

    I thought I would post this for anyone interested. I recently purchased some MOOG CC860 front coils to do a home built leveling kit on an 84 F250. Well it turns out that the 860 is a little too much for my truck. Well I just tried uploading the pictures but can't figure it out yet?

    Injection Pump Housing

    When I got my truck the PO had put another IP and changed the housing as well to a no tach sensor housing. Anyone have a housing with the tach sensor hole? Can I just leave my pump in place, mark the gear and unbolt the housing and then line the gear up on the new housing?

    Who does timing on east coast?

    All right, I have been lurking for years and now I am a bonafide diesel owner running on W85 in an 84 f250 6.9. The first 4000 miles I put on this truck were on WVO, but my sources dried up I just gained access to hundreds of gallons of 15-40 from a farm. The question I have is are there any...
