    New Injectors

    really? that truly is shocking. I am a Mechanical engineer by day and it is rare to find companies that think it is worth investing in tooling to make a part that already exists. Interesting.

    New Injectors

    those are actually the ones i was looking at. However... I came across BWD injectors at advance auto. They have a 3 year warranty and are new injectors as well. Using 30% off online purchases, a set can be had for $200. Not really trying to pinch penny's but at the same time, i think it is a...

    New Injectors

    i think i will end up ordering a new set of stanadynes for not much more than rebuilt injectors from the local shop. This way i dont have to turn in my old cores either, i can keep them for future use. Are the return line kits between 6.9 and 7.3 the same? Is the "old style" and "new style"...

    Tach issues

    most likely the tach sensor. On my '87 the sensor is on the drivers side of the oil fill housing, though i think engines with serpentine belts may be on the other side.. mine is a v-belt. Someone else can probably confirm. https://www.amazon.com/Ford-E5TZ-17B384-A-SENSOR-ASY/dp/B000O0PHE0

    Transmission or flywheel noise?

    I had my wife depress the clutch while I was under the truck. I couldn't get the flywheel to move at all. It looks like a dual mass to me, but seams pretty solid. If it is a dual mass then I will likely replace it when I remove the transmission. I dismissed the dmf for the offending noise...

    Transmission or flywheel noise?

    just got back from another test drive. Truck makes the same noise in every gear, and in neutral with clutch pedal depressed and coasting. Because of this, i don't think this is an issue with the input shaft... as it should be disengaged in neutral and the noise continues. it also makes the same...

    Transmission or flywheel noise?

    update.. The same noise exists, although slightly less pronounced when the clutch is in and coasting in gear. I'm starting to thing it is a transmission problem.. would a pilot bearing exhibit this?

    ZF5 to C6

    I had forgotten about that component.. thanks for reminding me. I have heard that the C6 and ZF5 crossmembers are similar and only require drilling new holes. can anyone confirm or deny?

    ZF5 to C6

    Hi there, I am a bit of an oddball in that i prefer an automatic transmission in a truck to a manual (blasphemy, i know). I have found all sorts of discussions on converting a C6/E40D to the ZF5, but none for the other way around. What all would be required to do this conversion? Obviously the...

    New Injectors

    called a local place that will pop test my injectors free. Their replacements are about $28 each (reman) but they will pop test the new ones to be sure that they are all within spec and closely matched. Does this seam reasonable? Still considering the vendors on the site but i do like working...

    New Injectors

    Hi there, I have a 1988 F250 with a 7.3 IDI, I feel like i may have a slight miss so i am considering replacing my injectors with new. It also is a bit tough to start after a few days so i am thinking air intrusion, likely in the returns. I have read that it is good practice to go ahead and...

    Hi there

    Just introducing myself. Funnily enough, when i went to join i got an error telling me i had already joined. Come to find out i joined the forum back in 2008 when i was considering buying a Ford IDI, i had completely forgotten about that. I was one of those ghost members that stuck around for 2...

    Transmission or flywheel noise?

    Hey everyone, I purchases a 1987 F250 that a PO has replaced the 6.9 with a 7.3 (unknown year). I get some pretty nasty noise (gravel in a coffee can) in all gears (ZF5), and to a lesser extent, sometimes in neutral with the clutch engaged, but not always. Press in the clutch and the noise goes...

    1990 f250

    its got teh automatic trannie, which i believe is the E40d, correct? but it ahs an added large trans cooler. I would thing that a t3/t4 hybrid would be small for a single turbo setup, considering thats what honda ricers use, lol. I was only going to go taht small if i did my own setup. A...
