    A friend of mine scored himself a free '78 IH truck with a DT466 Turbo diesel in it. The hub meter claims 144K, the hour meter claims 2,XXX hours. Motor supposedly is rebuilt. He was going to use it to haul is triple axle gooseneck, but I told him that the DOT would be on him like stink on...

    '93 7.3 IDI core, ZF trans, remnants of the truck, etc etc

    Motor has 340K on it, it blew a head gasket. Motor is still complete, it has all of the accessories on it still, injection pump included. $400. It came from a '93 Ford 4x4. If you want just the longblock minus the accessories, $300. That is all I know about it, all I guarantee that it is a...

    Fuel economy question, 90 E350

    What kind of fuel economy can I hope to get out of an early 90s E350 van with an E4OD trans? The local junkyard bought one (cheap I assume) and he will sell it to me for $1000. The trans looks recent(30-40K) but the fluid is brown(doesnt smell burnt.) ODO reads 92K, I assume its 192K. I...

    Would this be a cool axle to ditch the TTB front end with??

    This is a 10 lug axle off of a pre 98 superduty. It looks pretty cool :D http://pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=666038

    As far as ZFs are concerned...

    Is there anything wrong with an earlier unit in comparison to a later one built say in the 90's? I know with autos, they are always being improved and updated. I found a "lower" mileage ZF out of an 87 and was wondering if it was any better or worse than the one I have out of the 93 that I...

    How do you check out a ZF that is not installed in a truck??

    Just wondering. I bought a parts truck, with a ZF. Truck was high mileage, at least 340K based on the oil change sticker on the door. I got the trans cheap enough that at this point, if it needs a rebuild, the pain in the wallet wont be so bad. I was staring at it, it made me wonder if there...

    Wow, its amazing what clean fuel will do for fixing problems.....I r teh stoopid....

    Maybe next time I will start with the simple things first... (bare with me, this is somewhat of a rehash of past days events) When I began messing with my truck, I did not catch on that grapefruit juice colored red Diesel(ran on the ranch only, WINK WINK) was bad news. I replaced my...

    What was the gimmick behind this air cleaner lid?

    Found this at the junkyard on a 6.9. What was this thing supposed to do aside from look expensive, and allow water into the motor?

    This guy is posting AGAIN??!?? WTF now? (warped Banks air cleaner lid/shrunken K&N)

    I have 2 new problems,and a couple of questions. First, it seems that the Air filter has shrunk some(It's a K&N made for an early Banks) It has shrunken just enough to not fit properly into the track provided for inside the air cleaner. The first time I took the lid off to check the...

    NICE!! Check out this fuel system...

    THE PO said that he did the filter recently on the truck, I wish I had not taken his word. I put on the used pump, then got a wild hair to check/replace the filter AFTER I got it running.. Man, I think I just bought myself alot more work..... The paper towels show what came out of the filter.

    I R retaadeded, Injection pump install gone wrong....

    Ok, so I aquired a "good" used IP to slap on my truck to replace the one that leaks. So tonight I did some homework, made the Y that the bolts made sit in the right spot, brought the balancer to TDC, yanked the entire IP and housing. I did not want to mess with dynamic timing, so instead I...

    Mileage improvement C6 to T19/ZF5/ZF6? +4sp to 5 sp improvements

    Another newb question, I am sorry, I cant help it. For those of you who had a C6 and swapped either to a T19, or a ZF, what kind of fuel mileage changes did you notice afterwards? If you went from a 4 speed, to a 5 speed, what kind of difference, aside from being able to go faster on the...

    Looking for somebody to rework a PSD harness, or a kit?

    I have a buddy who is mating a 96 PSD/E4OD to a 50~something Ford pickemup. He wants the thing to run, doesnt give a rip about anything aside from that, and the transmission working. Who either can work the harness to make that happen, or who sells a pre-made harness that is clean??

    Is there anyone near the Placerville CA area who can set IP timing for me?

    Imma replacing the leaking IP on my new (to me)brown turd. I would like to get the timing spot on, instead of guessing. Anybody within shooting distance of me (95667) that maybe can help me out? My pump is leaking from someplace, it stalls when you let off, and supposedly stalls under power...

    6.9 w/old style Banks stalls when you let off, and is addicted to ether.

    Newb to the diesel scene, I recently aquired an 86 F250 6.9/C6 with a first gen Banks turbo, 3" staight pipe. The truck, when given the go pedal and let off will stall. Also, while going down the road giving it alot of fuel, letting off it will stall. The previous owner claims the injection...
