    Scoping cylinders through GP hole.

    Yeah, Looking at a cutaway now I dont see a way to get a good view without pulling heads. Might get a better look if I pull injectors but not sure. Wonder why the scope went in further on #7 though.

    Scoping cylinders through GP hole.

    Finally warmed up enough to do things again so I got around to pulling all the GP's and putting a boroscope down them. Scope is 5.4mm dia and wouldn't go into the actual cylinder in all but #7. Thinking theres something up with that as all the GP holes should be the same size no? These are the...

    Pic(not mine) from the drivers side, you may be able to run through the ecu wiring hole.

    Project build "Apep"

    Main difference seems to be the lower hoop, there's definitely a difference between the gas and diesel ones, AFAIK no aftermarket company makes the diesel ones correctly. Not sure if a PSD one will fit properly. If not that makes it even harder to find as brick specific stuff is almost...

    Project build "Apep"

    Ok thanks! Yeah that's what I'm thinking. Wish I could roadtrip! Would need a capable vehicle though which was the motivation behind this truck. Current daily tops out at about 80 km/h and is tiny. Southern vehicles are basically the holy grail, I've never seen a vehicle here older than 2 or 3...

    Cruise: Starting to feel that way, sheetmetal alone's gonna run me around $700 including shipping and Canadian peso exchange and that doesn't include all the little things(seam sealer, paint welding consumables etc) Add that to the fact that I don't really know how to weld, own a welder that...

    Project build "Apep"

    Bit of an update, been a while. Haven't had much of a chance to do anything, gets dark 2 hours before I finish work so. Got the seats pulled and the carpet up on the pass side I've seen worse but still.

    got a super duty frame and an IDI??? engine mount pic requests

    This guy did an IDI into an 08+ http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1393528-6-4-to-7-3-idi-swap-8.html Think he used the OBS motor mounts for the most part. Little different from a 99 but still.

    Little update: Tore down the starter motor, bit of a pain getting the brush holder screws(ugh phillips) out but nothing too bad. Cleaned it up, shaved down the areas with spatter flush with the rest of the bar and cleaned out the bar seperator. Yeah I think this brush has about had it...

    Project Big Red

    Damn what a journey! This thread is great, amazing seeing it come together. Build goals for a lot of folks, myself included. Nearly there too! Can't wait to see it all buttoned up :D

    Calling on Canadian IDI Owners

    Depends what. Rockauto isn't too bad as long as you can keep everything from the same warehouse or get things shipped to a border town. Ebay works if you find a supplier that's good. Plus there is you can sometimes get it shipped from inside Canada instead of international. There are a few...

    Project build "Apep"

    Mmhmm, showed ok in the preview then broke when posting haha. Pulled the drivers seat and pulled the carpet up a bit to see what I'll be dealing with floor wise. Was pleasantly surprised. The floor pans have been replaced at some point in the past so theres only some weld line rust to clean...

    Finally finished pulling the starter and getting it tested.(canadian tire, not 100% confident but it does make sense) Shes toast. Still gonna pull the GP's and make sure there's nothing in the cylinders. Wish I could find my dang boroscope so I could get a look in there. Eventually LOL...

    Project build "Apep"

    Hahaha nice on the extension tower to the front bumper. It's pretty well out just have a few threads left on that top bolt. Was surprisingly a lot easier than I thought it would be, damn near frustration free. Only spent around 40 mins getting that far, had to go to work though and it only just...

    Project build "Apep"

    Heh yep, among other things. I've had fairly decent experience with RA. Better than most places I've dealt with anyways(ie. I ordered wheel bearings for a Lexus once, received a steering knuckle for a Grand Prix instead) After seeing a couple starting videos I'm thinking the starter wasn't in...

    Welcome to the wild and lovely world of a Canadian. Pretty well par for the course, there's a lot that's not available and when it is it's overpriced. cookoo Doesn't help hitting that dotted line when shipping bumps the price usually around $50(go figure, it's free shipping to NY but it hits...

    Project build "Apep"

    Thanks, yeah plan on pulling the rest was getting tired and cold last night haha. What is the best way of testing the starter? Not sure if Partsource does starters or just alts/batts. No O'reilly here unfortunately :/ We get kinda screwed in parts stores. Theres basically autozone/Canadian tire...

    May end up doing that Cruiseomatic, you know I'm in Canada though right? Not sure how easy the process is going down but coming up is a bit of a pain(import crap) Update on the engine this time, she stopped turning over:eek: Cranking got slower and slower now just goes thunk and nothing. Not...

    150 4X4 front on 250?

    The axle on the f150 won't be though. Thats what I found in regards to swapping to 4x4.

    Evil creatures. I dream of one day working on a rust free vehicle. (not likely here!)

    150 4X4 front on 250?

    The 2WD f250's and 4x4 150's were both coil sprung, so you could reuse your springs(assuming you have the coil springs in front) You'd still need to have a 4x4 trans and tcase and your front wheels would be a different bolt pattern from your rear(8 vs 5) I thought about doing it too but it's...

    Little update. Got some pics of the underside of the cab. http://imgur.com/a/h5NtP apologies for the pic angles. Not running yet, thinking lift pump may have bit it. Manually primed from the tank to the lift pump but batteries were flat again so they're charging now.

    Project build "Apep"

    Nice! That helps with a few issues I was thinking of in regards to the e4od as the build I've looked at used a C6 and an OD unit. Wonder if it would be possible to use the 5r110. Would need some sort of standalone tcm though. May end up looking more at a C6 or other non-computer controlled...

    Haha duly noted. Yeah your build is awesome! Love the 6 door idea. Been working my way through laserjock's Big red build thread, your 6 door was next on the list(80 page build threads take a while to go through LOL)
