    Fuel Pump Block Off Plate

    Deleting the stock fuel pump, this is the block off plate that the googler spit out. Does this get the job done or are there other recommendations out there? Spectre Performance 42473 Fuel Pump Block-Off Plate with Bolts for Big Block Chevy...

    Hantzel and Gretel

    So when I fired up Frank the Tank (it was -10) the other night to clear drifts, on my return trip I noticed this lovely Hantzel & Gretel trail coming up the driveway. I thought, “hmm, blew a hydraulic line on the plow - it happens”. I parked immediately, to be greeted by a hazmat level...

    Fuel filter heater terminal leaking

    The terminal on the top of my fuel filter is leaking. This seems to me a common problem. Anyone have a procedure for fixing this issue? My NA fires right up cold, runs for a few seconds, dies, and then I need to crank til the fuel comes back. After that runs fine. Smacks of air...

    Cab Swap - Feasible - Has any one done it?

    So the Cab on my 87 IDI is shot. Corners, rockers, seatbelt mounts gonzo. Mechanically well maintained and I'd take her on a long haul with zero concerns. So, Cab swap. But if I'm going to do it, I want to do something fun and unique. I found a brilliant Ford N750 donor. I know that with...

    Dana 60 swap

    For those who have done a swap, I'm in the tail end of mine. Quick question: What would you do in the this situation? The centering pin on the new RC springs are long enough that they prevent the spring sitting all the way down in the axle shoe. Add a spacer? (That seems like a bad idea)...

    U-Joint Counsel

    Pulled axle shafts from my D60 to treat her with new ujoints. A task I’ve performed several times over the years on multiple vehicles. Upon reassembly, as you can see from the pic, c-clip groove isn’t presenting itself, and the ear looks bent. Any pro tips on solving this or am I...

    “Flooding” a 7.3 - it is there something else?

    Can you “flood” a 7.3. Will an IP let my electric fuel pump push fuel into the cylinders in the time it takes the glow plugs to cycle? On a cold start, crank and white smoke, means there’s fuel. Glow plugs are new, cranks fast. Takes three to four cycles to get her to fire up? What am I...

    Injector Pump Diagnosis

    Looking for a good tech article to walk a diagnosis for an IP. Saw the sticky in tech articles with the stanadyne db2 and the trouble shooting didn’t seem to line up with my issue. Truck starts great. Idles fantastic. hot or cold. Gets up and goes down the road like it’s supposed to. Except...

    Axle Swap Question:

    Think I found my fuel starvation issue...

    Pretty sure this was why Frank the Tank wouldn’t start. I’m done with lift pumps. Time to go electric. Thoughts as to what may have caused this rather epic failure? 88 7.3 NA. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    1990 F350 4x4 D60 front axle

    Gents - Quick question. I blew out the front LH axle shaft on my D50 ttb. I found a complete springs, steering box, D60 out of a DRW (whole front frame clip). 1) is converting a DRW front axle as straight forward as removing the adapters and you’re done? If so, does that mean I can use...

    FIS Fast Idle Solenoid R&R

    I’ve diagnosed my issue down to what appears to be a failed FIS. On cold start, the circuit that powers the FIS is getting a solid 12v, but the solenoid isn’t popping out, nor is it staying out when I know it’s energized. Has anyone had any luck taking this animal apart, cleaning it and...
