    WTB 94 Radiatior Core Support

    They have them new at LMC for 189.95. I know nothing about where they were manufactured. Just remembered seeing them. Good luck, Doug

    Part fell out while changing the oil (bypass valve)

    I could put everything back the way it was and re-stake it but I don't want to find this problem again. I called Conestoga Diesel and Mel had a cooler assembly that he could sell me with new O-rings. It's the newer style that has the snap ring which just feels better to me. I don't know how...

    Part fell out while changing the oil (bypass valve)

    Changing the oil for the first time and these fell into the oil pan when the filter came off. What does this mean? Can I put them back in and pin them in like they were when it was made or do I have to replace the oil cooler end? Is this easier on the Powerstroke than on the IDI. Do I have...

    Just bought a 95 from out of state

    Overall, it runs well. The characteristics of this engine make it feel a little underpowered when your just putting around, but it springs to life with a little peddle. Pulls very strong. Extremely impressed how it can move a four ton truck. She lights right up when the WTS light goes out...

    Just bought a 95 from out of state

    Well, Tuesday evening it arrived...... I guess low resolution pictures and movies don't lie. It is rough. A lot rougher than I thought a truck could be with only 155,000. As much as I didn't want another project, I think it just arrived. Positives are it has no rust which is really something...

    Van and truck steering columns?

    How similar or how different are they. I found a column from a van in the pick and pull and it only has 13,000 miles on it. It's sad to see her getting picked to pieces and there is no guarantee that is still there from last week. Anyway, my '86 is very floppy, not tight like the van one...

    Thanks bud, I really appreciate it. Hope you and the family are doing great. I'll keep all posted. According to the carrier it should be here by the weekend. Hoping those low resolution pictures were telling the whole truth :) Fingers crossed. Life is good. Talk to you soon, Doug

    Just bought a 95 from out of state

    Okay, so, after spending probably two hours reading multiple articles on the CPS I ordered one that is dark grey with a blue O-ring. My head started to hurt with all the colors and model numbers that seem to make cylinders 3 and 8 cranky. Especially cylinder 8. I'll put the wrench and socket...

    Just bought a 95 from out of state

    WW, The service manager at the dealer where I bought the truck felt similar. No reason to go back to stock, just make sure you keep the filter clean. He said he has seen too many come through with packed air filters. Dirt was getting past and dusting the turbo. I guess, maintenance is always...

    Just bought a 95 from out of state

    Thanks guys. Feeling much better. It's getting loaded on a carrier as early as tomorrow. They speculate anywhere from a week to ten days. Apparently there are a lot of stops along the way. It's all good. I'll keep ya posted, D

    Just bought a 95 from out of state

    After driving it for a few weeks youll be wondering why you ever messed with the idi. It's funny, I still can't help feeling like I'm cheating on her.

    Just bought a 95 from out of state

    Thanks for the words of encouragement. The 6637 is one big filter. I'll leave everything as it is till I get my feet wet with all these sensors and computers. Just more stuff to learn. Thanks again, D

    Just bought a 95 from out of state

    Kind of a weird feeling. I'm in Maryland and my new toy is in Colorado. A lot of pictures and they did a video walk around. Nice solid rust free truck with 155,000. It has the extended cab and 4x4 which it was I was trying to find. Looked for around three months to find a '94 with the ATS...

    Front end issue.

    Had a similar problem. Replace a lot of suspension components and had it aligned. Drove straight but would hang up and not pull itself out of a turn. Sometimes it would be but those time were rare. The left from universal joint was sticky and giving me the grief. After replacement life it...

    WANTED: ACCELERATOR CABLE for a 1985 6.9 IDI

    I just looked it up on Rockauto.com and they showed one from ATP Y290 for $36.79. Looks the same? There might be others out there. Good luck, Doug

    Looking for recommendations for transporting

    I just bought a '94 F250 in Washington state and I'm here on the East coast in Maryland. It has been awhile since I transported a vehicle and I'm looking for recommendations. Anyone on the list transporting cars? That is how I moved the last one. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly...

    2wd to 4x4 on a f350 dually extended cab

    Wow, this seems like a lot more work than I thought. A donor truck would definitely make life monumentally easier. Sadly, I went back on Craigslist this morning and the listing was gone. I think it just expired because it had been listed for two months. Must be a sign. Soooo, the quest goes...

    2wd to 4x4 on a f350 dually extended cab

    Been looking for another truck for awhile and am having a terrible time finding exactly what I want. Found a 2wd extended cab with dual rear wheels but I really want a 4x4. Did a search and didn't seem to find anyone who has done this. Is it even worth it? Is the cab tunnel different between...

    Timing adjustment problem

    One off the wall thought. Could the harmonic balancer have slipped on it's rubber dampener causing the reading to be off? I say this because of something that happened about ten years ago with Michael Fowlers other truck. I checked his timing using the ferret adapter and found it to be...

    Factory IDI turbo on an '86 with auto

    Stumbled on a factory (ATS) turbo on Craigslist that has already been removed. Has most of the hard parts except the crossover pipe. I'm having difficulty locating the grommets and square o-rings and other soft parts needed to freshen it up. I'm just trying to be sure I can bring it back to...

    Valve stem seals, three choices

    Thanks Kevin for the CDR cleaning thought. There is a film of oil on the intake screen so a good cleaning wouldn't hurt a thing. As far as the seals go I just ordered a set of both. Once the packages came it became clear on the application that the shorts are for the 6.9 and the longs are for...
