Stephen Wade Chevy Cadillac Nissan. I was in the detail before they "promoted" me to sales.
:puke: ;Pissed -cuss
In the meantime: (I need to wash it and take some new pictures).
I've got some videos too. Search for "fanbrain" on youtube.
My truck has 3" straightpiped exhaust and an ATS turbo. I can take some more videos if you want. The video I made of the truck revving was with a cold motor. It sounds better and smokes more when warm.
Forgot about the Dodge section on this site. I was always in the IDI sections because of my dually (that is for sale).
Good to see your truck again Ezra.
No responses for quite a while. Price too high? Price too low? Maybe it's because most of the people on this forum are on the wrong side of the continent. Sheesh.
Edit: I forgot to add. I put two new batteries in. Sure makes a big difference!
I'm entertaining trades at the moment.
Before I bought this truck, I really wanted a 4x4 diesel with a manual tranny. Tell me what you've got and maybe we'll trade. The more turbos the better :D .
Also, the truck is for sale locally now.
Amen to that. I'll keep it if 2000 is all I can get. I don't want to ebay this truck. I haven't even put it up for sale locally yet. I have loyalty to this group. Friends first eh!
Here is a link to page with a description, videos and photos. If you are interested, post there and/or PM me. Thanks! Truck is located around St. George, UT.

Let me know what you think!
FS: '86 CC DRW, ATS, GV etc...
EDIT: Truck is now for sale. This post will be linked to in the Classified section.
I've only had the truck since May, and it has been fun to have, but it's a bit impractical. I don't have any trailers to tow, I can't take it 4x4ing because it doesn't have...
So I just tap a hole in the side of the tranny pan? Do I drop it first or just go for it?
I posted the wrong picture of the tranny. There is another smaller slightly visible plug to the left of the band adjustment that I was talking about. I just put the sensor in that one. I can move it if I...
Update: I got some gauges and I'll put them in tomorrow (saturday). I have pictures of where I think the sensors should go.
This is the drivers side of the tranny. I'm thinking it's the plug in the center of the picture. Correct?
Here is the place where the drivers side exhaust from the...
I ordered a pyro, boost and trans temp gauge yesterday from egauges.com. I'm going to attempt installing them myself. I ordered the single DIN three gauge insert that goes where the radio goes. The radio is lousy and the speakers are blown plus I don't want the gauges pillar mounted or anywhere...
Can anyone confirm if this is the case? Will a stock pump (turned up) keep up with a non wastegated ATS turbo? Is the turbo-spec pump from DPS worth it? I can get a new pump locally for the same price as a DPS turbo pump; which is better? I'm going to stick with stock injectors (new ones of course).
I noticed this again tonight on a drive. I was showing my wife how the OD worked (It's wired to a switch on the floor right next to the the highbeam switch; in fact it's exactly the same as a highbeam switch. I'll post a picture later) and when I shifted into overdrive, I let off the gas and it...
Update: I had a chance to check this out tonight. Drove the truck for a while, parked it and went to drive it half hour later. It wouldn't start. I poured some water over the pump, and it started right up.
I don't want to carry jugs of water around and make big messes when I need to start the...
I'm making a list of things to buy.
In order from most pressing to least:
pyro, boost and tranny temp gauges
injector install kit
injectors
turbo calibrated IP
tires
I put some injector cleaner/lubricity fluid in the tank yesterday and now I get lots of white smoke at start and...
So, for new injectors, is it worth it for Stage 1? I'm not going to tow a lot, I would just like some more power. Also I can't find the faq for turning up the pump. I'm going to look into getting some gauges over the weekend.
The bulb does work, the truck starts within a couple revolutions...
Here's the chokepipe
the leaky injector location
the engine bay
and last, a front view of the truck (I haven't cleaned it at all- could use some shining)
I bought a 1986 F-350 dually today. 6.9 IDI, ATS turbo, automatic with Gear Vendor under/overdrive. It has about 130k and I got it for $2400.
It's my first diesel, and I have some questions. (I have read almost all of the technical documents and the faq's.)
1. When running, there are...
