    Won't start, sometimes?

    A friend of mine has a 94 4x4 he just traded a guy for, it has a couple of times just died and also when the engine is hot say drive to the hamburger joint, come back out and she won't hit a lick. Fool around with it and for some reason it will just fire up? Since I work on the old Ford...

    Need a gear

    The only thing my truck lacks is a lower gear for backing in my fiver. Got 411's in the rear. Is there any transfer case that will bolt on to the Z5, like from a gaser? or does it have to be a diesel Z5er? Don't want to make it a 4x4 just use the lower gear for backing in the fiver.

    Any fix for die on decell?

    Is there any hope for a an IP that the engine dies on de-acceleration? I can pour a half bottle of power service in a tank of fuel and it goes away, the very next tank of fuel without power service and it dies again when you rev the engine or mash in the clutch, like when you come to a stop.

    What if.

    What would my truck be like with a C-6 tranny with the 4:10 rear end. Just wondering, I came across a 6.9 with a good C-6 I just bought. The dummy pulled it and put a gaser in it's place, no diesel in his blood. Biggest thing I use my truck for is pulling my fiver with and drive 4 miles...

    Oil in my water?

    Yesterday I was changing the oil and giving the truck a good service since the new paint job. Checking the coolant I found a thin layer of oil on top of my coolant. I took a hose and sucked the top layer off very carefully, I found about one or two oz. of oil. Of course last summer I replaced...
