    Pics of IDIs still working?

    Here's a vid of the 83 late last Winter. It's in my garage getting a new frame and paint job right now. Salt sucks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhpRbgNTHjE

    ATS Aurora turbo kit

    Thanks for the input. I'm 2 inches from canceling and calling hypermax. I could use some friendly customer service. I'll post pics whenever I get a kit for this beast.

    ATS Aurora turbo kit

    I bought one for my 6.9 on November 6th. Still haven't got it. I called them and they say they are waiting for a part. They took my money, but keep telling me it will ship early next week.:dunno After all this time I have been thinking about the Hypermax and wondered what people have to say...

    replace head gaskets 6.9 diesel

    I can take my engine out with a cherry picker without removing the hood. It was tricky, but I can do it. It is way faster and easier to remove the engine and change out HG's.

    Truck gargles after I shut it off.

    I put new head gaskets on a year ago, used Napa Permatorque. Runs fine, no oil in coolant or coolant in the oil. No white smoke at all. It starts right up when I turn the key, cold or hot. It started boiling over after running for about 5-10 minutes. I put a 16 lb cap on it, and as a backup...

    ZF-5/NP205 T-CASE INSTALL PIC'S.

    Both of my 79 f150 have them on the front driveshaft at the T-case. And the rear shaft at the T-case. PITA to change the ujoints.

    I have ventured to the dark side!

    I went to the dakside too. I just plowed 33 accounts with my IDI Monday and Tuesday. Just after reassembling the 6.9 on Friday. That 6.9 is a brute pushing snow. I then drove the PSD around to rake roofs and shovel walks. I have a minute mount plow, but it isn't on the truck yet. Can't wait to...

    What's that hissing noise

    I got ya, should be fun going truck to truck.

    What's that hissing noise

    I thought that might be what was happening, seems to be right in the middle of the engine housing. It's pretty annoying. I did notice the temp gauge never gets above the first "Normal" line. Could/would this have anything to do with the EBPV, I didn't find anything about it in the search...

    What's that hissing noise

    I just bought this 95 with a 5spd manual. Just curious to know what that hissing type sound is when I'm planed out at a steady speed. It also kind of stumbles when I come to a stop. IPR dirty?

    no more BERU GPs from autozone!!!!!!

    Jd, it is the stock gp system. And that has always worked fine. For what I know of that system. I replaced the controller 2 years ago, don't know the life expectation of these, but it better be more than that. :) Putting the Beru's back in and going with it. I will be putting the head back on...

    Gotta love Sears Die Hard Batteries

    I have always used diehard golds in my trucks. I just put 2 new ones in a couple of weeks ago and it made that beast wind over real quick. My tool chests are 99% craftsman, love getting replacements after I wear them out, shows I did something. I think the Sears Wishbook from 78' is still...

    Motor stumbled and came out of it, ticks now

    That will be my mantra for sure. Aside from the schrapnel in the piston making noise, I would have let it go. I did buy another plowtruck in the meantime. Now I have 2 diesels to contend and compare. :)
