    6.2 locked up?

    Sorry it took so long to reply I had some had a lot things going on and truck went on the back burner. So I pulled the valve covers removed the rocker arms and low and behold it’s a broken exhaust valve. I guess it didn’t take much of turning the crank back and forth to snap it off. So I sent to...

    6.9 idi wiring harness

    I’m really thinking about doing a DT360 swap on this truck and just redoing everything. I’m just not sure if what’s involved in swapping out the 6.9 for the DT360. I just figured if I’m going to take the dash out why not just change out everything. When I got the truck that was the original plan...

    6.9 idi wiring harness

    Thanks for the info on that harness off eBay I believe I’ll be purchasing one. Do have experience with this particular harness? If so was it pretty straight forward to install?

    6.9 idi wiring harness

    Cedricward I agree you just can’t find a harness for an ‘86. I did find a scrap yard with an ‘87 but I wasn’t sure if it would work. I will buy the manual you mentioned and see if I can’t build it myself. Thanks for your help.

    6.9 idi wiring harness

    Hello everyone I’m trying to locate a wiring harness for my 86 f250 6.9 idi.

I wired a manual switch for the FSS truck now starts...

    Wiring meltdown

    Thanks Danielle. The has never been tampered with but it started at the fuel shut off red wire and burned all the way to the harness under the dash. Just can’t figure why it burned at the injection pump. I’m not very good with automotive wiring that’s something that I need to learn.

    Wiring meltdown

    Hello all I need help figuring out what caused my 86 f250’s wiring harness to burn.

Possible link to find new...

    6.2 locked up?

    Thanks 79jasper. Sorry to ask so many questions but I have to ask one more. So all the rocker arms are attached to the rocker shaft, when you bolt it back in place will it bind being that the push rods are in different positions? Or do you just start tightening the bolts evenly again first time...

    6.2 locked up?

    Do the rocker arms just unbolt and bolt back up or is there a bit more involved? I've never done this and just want to do it as smooth as possible.

    6.2 locked up?

    One thing I forgot to ask. Do the rocker arm's have to be removed or can they remain in place?just wandered since I may be tapping with the brass hammer to free up the possible stuck valve.

    6.2 locked up?

    Hopefully I didn't damage the valve while I was working the crank with the breaker bar. Didn't didn't torque on very hard but it did hit a few times spinning the crank.

    6.2 locked up?

    I'll try it if valves are the case. So I know I'm looking for a rocker arm that is probably kind of loose. Where about do you hit with the hammer? Never done this before. I really appreciate the knowledge. Probably won't be able to get to this until Saturday due to working eager to see what I...

    6.2 locked up?

    Got it I'll pull the covers. If it was a stuck valve opposed to a bent one how would I free it up?

    6.2 locked up?

    All gp's looked perfect. I can turn it almost a complete rotation. Truck ran perfectly till the IP crapped out. Could it be a stuck valve from sitting so long? If so how can I tell and how do you fee it up? Thanks to all for the help.
