Hey guys- been away a while, busy building a career and getting married again and moving and the list goes on. My trusty F250 has been treating me well, the little bit I drive it anyway. I did use it to haul my rockcrawler up from Vegas to Carson City when I moved last fall, and it’s pretty much...
I have the original starter I removed from my 92 F250 to install a DB Electrical. It was working, but cranking real slow. Anybody rebuild them successfully? Should I hold onto it or scrap it?

I've got healthy batteries and brand new cables, and still am experiencing intermittent slow cranking. I guess it's time to either service or replace the original starter on my truck.
There's a local place that claims to be able to rebuild and service the original Mitsubishi starter. I've...
On the way home from Salt Lake City a week ago, my speedometer began behaving erratically. At random times, the needle will drop roughly 10% of whatever speed the vehicle is moving, and then bounce back to the normal speed. So far to diagnose I have:
Observed the waveform of the rear axle speed...
I need a new rear output seal for the Transfer Case in my truck. Ford says they no longer offer the seal. Oriellys lists 3 different seals on the website. Which is correct for the stock BW 1356 with a slip yoke rear output?
Im not near my truck or I'd just stick my head under it and look. I...
I can't for the life of me find the plastic one that came with my kit. I'm swapping out my Sachs clutch for a Luk kit next week, and need a tool. Anyone have an extra they're willing to part with?

My trucks floor pan is cracked where the bucket seats mount. I removed the factory bench seat and installed buckets years ago, and during the course of removing and installing the transmission recently, I noticed the floor was cracked, which would explain why my seat leans to the inside. I...
Guys-
You may remember my trouble with the clutch and trans back in February. It appears that the first SMF that I installed was definitely drilled off center, and in turn damaged the input bearing and mainshaft bearings in my ZF5. I also have worn synchros on 2nd and 3rd gears. Due to my...
Misc parts off my 1992 F250 IDI
Any interest in any of the following before I toss it?
OEM auto locking hubs, worked flawlessly when removed. Took 'em off to install Warn hubs
OEM Ford aircleaner assembly, really excellent condition. Removed to install Turbo
OEM Ford taillight...
6 bottles of Diesel Kleen... Made it but lost the clutch
I'm pulling the old F250 out of once-a-month cruise duty and using it to haul the last of my belongings from New Mexico to Henderson, NV. Some of you may recall that I moved here to Henderson for work a couple years ago, and I never...
Guys-
I figured this was specific enough I could post it in the IDI Forum, if it must be moved, thats ok too...
I need the two connectors at the rear of the frame for trailer wiring- just the truck side, with approx 8" of wire on each. I'm hoping for connectors with the plastic clips...
Hey guys-
I haven't been real active on the board in a while, mainly because my truck has been parked for the past year or so. I have a company vehicle now, so the IDI has been retired from DD Duty and relegated to holding down the driveway and dragging the trailer around when needed, which...
I've noticed the past few times I've driven my truck that I have to wiggle the ignition cylinder to get the chime to shut off when I remove the key, and now today it wouldn't crank the engine in the "start" position, unless I got the key tweaked just right. I'm thinking I've finally worn out...
Since I got my new job and a company truck, my F-250 sits for weeks at a time. I put 2 brand new batteries in it in September, and don't want them to go to waste just sitting in the truck. I'm looking at a battery tender or CTEK maintenance charger with a desulfate feature. Does anyone have...
Guys-
You may recall last week that my truck was giving me fits starting, and I traced it to a faulty connection on the glow plug controller.
In the process, I tore the hose connector on the CDR valve that goes between the CDR Valve and the tube that leads to the airbox. (#23 in the attached...
Guys-
I'm in the middle of moving from Albuquerque to Las Vegas for my new job. I NEED my diesel to drag the trailer out there. The past week it's been really difficult to start, and I'm getting NO glow plug action that I can tell.
I took the time today to install 8 new Motorcraft glow...
Is it possible for the switching valve to fail so that only the return side of ONE tank is blocked?
I'm beginning to think my fuel leak problems at the injector caps may be caused by the switchover valve. I only notice the smell and see the leaks when I'm running on the front tank after a...
Look what I found buried in the back room at work. Manufacture date says early 1980's. Looks like it's never been used once I wiped it off. I work at a Toyota dealership, and we haven't had a diesel in a LONG time.
Looks like an IDI injector will thread right on without adaptors. What's...
I'm getting real close to pulling the trigger on a complete Moose injection pump/injector setup for my truck. I have complete faith in Mel and his products, but would like some real-world feedback on the performance of the products, especially at high altitude operation.
I live in...
Hey guys-
I've had repeated return line O-ring failure on the same cylinder. About 6 weeks ago, I began smelling Diesel when I approached my truck after it'd been parked. As the smell persisted, I traced it to leaking return line O-rings on the #5 cylinder.
I replaced only the O-rings...
My Master Cylinder pushrod bushing finally cracked and fell out on the way to work this morning, causing a loud "POP" every time I depressed the clutch, and eventually causing the pushrod to fall off the linkage and leave me without a clutch.
I did some hunting around, and most places will...
It's been at the body shop for over 2 weeks :sly
I've been driving my rockcrawler daily while the IDI is out. Getting in and out of a truck on 37's is getting hard. I don't remember it being so difficult when I was 40lbs lighter cookoo
