    6.9 & 7.3 idi electric fan clutch conversion

    either way looks like a good piece and I have had great luck with the 6.4 clutch, so thats a bonus. There was a Thread going around a while back about an HD truck bolt on electric clutch, but man they were expensive when i looked it up, I think just the clutch was almost $700, glad to see a...

    6.9 & 7.3 idi electric fan clutch conversion

    Is it correct that im seeing that what weve got here is a 6.0/ maybe 6.4 fan clutch with and adapter bushing? Thats pretty cool, do you turn those yourself?

    Selling upgraded drop in fans!

    Interesting that the plastic fan is actually heavier. I swapped my obs psd with a 6.0 fan and assumed I was getting a reasonable weight savings just holding them in my hand. That was one of the main reasons I spent the coin on it in the first place. I guess it really falls to where the weight...

    D50 TTB out of 88 f250 in 89 f350 2wd

    But, that is Definitely not the "cheap" route lol. Solo's kits are designed for pre runner strength upgrades mostly, last I looked they were $2000 a kit entry level. So Unless you've got some heavy skills and tooling, or have extremely extremely good guessfab skills, youd loose a lot in tires haha

    Help Identify this Rear Axle

    That specific cover is factory Ford. I used to have the part number somewhere

    Help Identify this Rear Axle

    Any 10.25 or 10.50 cover is interchangeable. All the way up to current. But for that matter so are the internals mostly lol. Those covers (gnathv) were stock in the 08 era, but never on OBS. Just a good upgrade. Correct again, most of the duallys 00+ got Dana 80's, that's why they don't work...

    D50 TTB out of 88 f250 in 89 f350 2wd

    Castor handles itself essentially, as well as coil bucket placement. Bare minimum swap would consist of having the pitman arm reamed, getting rid of the old radius arms and brackets, butting the 05+ brackets (attached to the arms/axles) up to the body mount bracket and bolting it up (you do...

    D50 TTB out of 88 f250 in 89 f350 2wd

    Did a lot of looking on this one. For a potential project once, and I would definitely say go coil sprung super duty 60. There's so much less work involved for so much gain. And I don't know what you consider expensive, but less than a month ago I had a dually Dana 60 from an 07 DELIVERED to my...

    2+2 does not equal 4

    I would estimate that F super is nearly a 6" lift up front over a stock 250, 4"+ on the stock 350 springs, Wich would work out to about 4" over stock needed in the rear to level, and would put you right at your estimated block height of 7" to get you 2" high rear, so cheap and tall usually...

    2+2 does not equal 4

    Just as a side note, i have never seen obs trucks that weren't f-supers with lower u bolt plates and top bends. My money is that someone swapped out your whole spring assy. With f super duty stuff and just ground the bottom plate to match the axle. Also, is your front lifted at all? How many...

    Heat

    While thats certainly a problem, it should not cause low airflow issues from the vents

    Heat

    Yea, try other vent selections, maybe the switch, resistor, or blower motor is having conditional issues

    Heat

    Well if you took the heater core all the way out, then you can see the whole portion of duct that would allow for good airflow in cooling but not in heating. The heater core case pulls air from the evaporator case, and if it blows good cold, there should not be an issue there. Can you post a...

    Heat

    Not the whole unit, just the heater core cover. And maybe the heater core if you can't visually see the problem at that point

    Heat

    The temperature dial is cable. The locational damper system is vaccum though so if you get trouble in that regard itll only blow out the defroster I'm going slim chance on rodent nest, because where it would have to be located to block heat only airflow would be a super wierd rats nest lol. I...

    Heat

    If the cable moves fine, but you aren't getting heat, pull the heater core cover off, and put your hand on the core to check for cold spots or any potential obstruction in the airway, as well as to confirm that the blend door isn't broken off of the swing arm. A temperature gun would help...

    1992 Ford F-350 7.3 IDI NA drives 1/2 mile then dies and has hard starts...

    Sounds like air getting in the fuel system. Read up on air intrusion, and follow the same diagnostic process as you would for that, and you should find your problem. Its unlikely to be the IP causing this particular issue, more likely your other thoughts, but there are many ways and places air...

    Yes, no hard feelings at all,but gnathv is very much wrong. That's the recirc door and you will only stand to loose "performance" by cutting those zip ties. The blend door is behind the glove box to the slight left with a cable on top coming in from the right that has a white retainer on it...

    Dodge Dana 60 kingpin axle in an F450

    Right, the question was definitely not weather Ford sold it. I don't think anyone still believes any f-super left a Ford factory 4x4, and with some moderate research, the interwebs concensus is that we are looking at a Quigley converted Dana 70 front. I'm pretty sure the marmon trucks were...

    Dodge Dana 60 kingpin axle in an F450

    Well the good thing is it's not the notorious aam 9.25 that are so prone to failure. I don't know passenger side drops that well, but a 60 is a decent axle regardless of origin. Though the marmon conversion f-supers used hybrid d70s if I recall correctly, if your not using it for crane truck...

    Dodge Dana 60 kingpin axle in an F450

    It's about as easy to do as any other f-super axle swap/conversion really I suppose. even easier if they used a divorced t case. They could even keep the parking brake that way, and I see they used a single leaf and airbag setup too. Interesting for sure. Also looks to still be 8 lug front, hard...

    Project WA5MOE 91 F250 4x4 IDIT Build

    I bet this build rings up closer to the $10k mark than the $5k mark once it's done. Sure Will be pretty though

    93 idi with the e40d downshifts when turning headlights on!

    The e4od uses the tail light circuit in it's decision making process. Check the tail lights/ground system as well for any issues.

    Cow Catcher

    Well it still could be the vss as well in fairness then. If that does turn out to be all that's wrong I'd call a psom rebuilder, that way you'd know what your getting and it's really quite reasonable
