    Loose nozzle on new injector.

    I get a set of new Standayne "G" code injectors and installed them yesterday (along with a NOS reman IP and GP's). Well I run to one of my customers and when I stop I hear a hissing noise. There is air and fuel spraying out of every hose and gasket on my fuel tank. Turns out Stanadyne didn't...

    Bad lift pump or?

    I've had a problem for a while where at times the motor would idle or run rough, like there was air in the system, but it never lasted long. Well I head out to a call tonight, jump on the highway and at about 50 mph it was like someone shut the key off. I kept the clutch out and the motor...

    Local gas station going back to LSD (500ppm)

    I don't know the reason, but the local Speedway has signs up stating that they will be switching to 500 ppm fuel.

    I've gone stackless

    Finally cut the stacks off of the rollback truck. WOW it's so much quieter. The stacks were actually amplifying the sound, easily 2 times as loud. My original plan was to have a new exhaust made with quiter mufflers. But it's so much quieter now all I'm going to do is add a couple extender...

    Anyone have a "extra" 6.9 head bolt?

    I was adding brake fluid today when I noticed one of my head bolts is now headless. The truck (wrecker) is going up for sale soon, so I don't want to buy a whole new set just to replace one. Anyone have an old used one that they could part with?

    My new IDI

    Picked this up outside of Boston and brought it back the nearly 600 miles to Cleveland. 85, 6.9L and 5 speed. The stacks are coming off, they make the cab so loud you can't even talk. I may run the pipes straight back and use the stacks as sidepipes. I'm surprised that this engine appears to...

    The "horse rehab ranch" eBay guy is at it again

    Return cap o-rings, better material?

    Someone posted a link a while back to better O-rings that could handle the ULSD.... I went back through the posts and couldn't find it. I changed my O-rings in August and I'm leaking again. Nothing like a tow truck that stinks like diesel fuel.

    7.3IDI style dual coil glow plugs

    I saw these a while ago on eBay. I emailed them to confirm that they were dual coil, they said they were. I don't know if they will work with the factory controller but if anything they would beat trying to rewire to use 6.9 style dual coils...

    Neighbors' brakes making "funny noise"

    It actually took me a few seconds to comprehend what I was looking at. I'd like to blame it on the fact that he's a PowerStroke driver....... He pays me good money to fix stuff after it breaks. No, the drum didn't break. The brake shoe backing wore completely through the cast iron!

    130 amp 3G alternator install

    OK, my stock alternator was making some nasty noises from the bearings, so I figured what better time to do what? MOD! I happened to have a 130 amp 3G reman off of a van I had scrapped (92 300 I6). One off of a Taurus will also work. Now if you are going junkyarding, you want to be able...

    Injector hard line emergency patching tip

    Well I had the #4 line break on the wrecker last week, which resulted in frantic phone calls and finally locating one at a Ford heavy truck dealer 45 minutes away (International did not have it anywhere in state). So I change it out and go about my business. Night before last, the #1 line...

    E4OD diesel case, case only $50 pickup only

    This is a leftover case, I took it to be rebuilt and basically all the parts inside were fried so I got a used trans to replace it. It's been sitting in my garage for 2 years now and I'll never use it, but I hate to just take it for scrap. All that's there is the case, extention housing and...

    Fuel filter part number?

    I want to change the filter on my 85 6.9L It currently has a Baldwin BF786, which does not have a water drain and I assume does not have a water barrier. The factory water seperator is bypassed. Sooo, I need a part number for a filter WITH a water barrier and drain, but no water sensor hole...

    Timing adapter missing

    Yea, that funky adaptor is missing on my "new" 6.9L. You can tell pretty easy because the line is bent wierd to connect. It also looks cross threaded onto the injector. Am I correct that having a shorter line causes that cylinder to have advanced timing relative to the other cylinders? The...

    Turn signals stop when brakes are applied

    This is on my 85 F350 in my signature. Both turn signals work fine, until you press on the brake pedal. Thinking maybe it was a load issue (tons of lights on this truck) I installed an electronic flasher unit. Same thing, no change. It's been a while since I've dealt with these older trucks...
