    Carb size for a 1997 F700

    I got the truck off a propane dealer near Monticello, NY (somewhat near Woodstock). He bought it for the extra-large tank on the truck's frame. He removed the tank and found it was too big for the configurations he had on his fleet (of mostly Diesels). The propane guy put it up on eBAY in not...

    Carb size for a 1997 F700

    I made a mistake, it is a 4 bbl earlier in the post. I meant to say that the 429 was explained to me as having to be a 4bbl or it gets quite cranky at having anything like a 2 bll on it. This is the second 750 I had to put on it. I had the first one stolen the night before I went to move the...

    Carb size for a 1997 F700

    I bought a 1997 f700 about a year ago. It was a propane powered truck that got converted by my friend in the middle of the trip after not finding a propane refill anywhere close by and running out of fuel cause the gauge on the side was stuck on full. My friend placed an Edlebrock 750 on it...

    Compressed Natural Gas System

    I have that issue of diesel power and can't understand how they calculate the MPG using Diesel and a secondary fuel such as CNG. In that article in the magazine, they calculate only the diesel fuel for him to win the category handsdown.

    HHO on an IDI?!?!?!

    Home Brewed Ethanol for your gasser

    I picked up a HUGE (700 page) book called Alcohol Can Be A Gas! A very interesting read to say the least. It goes over EVERYTHING needed to grow and Brew your own fuel, including the legal aspects. It also goes over a lot of the misinformation with the subject and the technical aspects of it...

    Friend's truck question, yeah I know....

    He claims now his water pump took a dump. I guess he drives it too much to notice any puddling. Most likely has the AC running 24/7 and that blends in with his puddle.

    Tow Truck PTOs (hydraulic over electric?)

    I was going convert it to E40D. I have a few spares lying around. I was going to have it rebuild by a local tranny repairer. Basically the labor is $400 to $500 bucks plus all the parts & kits I supply. Doesn't the tranny case have a PTO outlet on some? Do I need a new case and throw all the...

    Someone stole my radiator

    Went down to check on my pile of trucks and show them to a friend who is interested in buying a few (half dozen) possibly. Went to the last truck to show it ran and opened the hood on my 96 F150 (6 cylinder) and no rad at all, just the rad cap sitting on the battery box taunting me. :mad: My...

    Fuel economy mods

    This may be of interest, though it was done with a gasser 460, IN THEORY some of the mods should respond to diesels. http://www.performanceunlimited.com/projectmpg/ http://www.performanceunlimited.com/projectmpg/photos.html http://www.performanceunlimited.com/projectmpg/specs.html...

    Friend's truck question, yeah I know....

    A buddy of mine has a 2500 or 3500 with a 6.2L with an aftermarket turbo on it. I asked him to make sure it is not a 6.5L due to the look/age/style of the truck. Anyhow he seems to lose coolant and it doesn't go anywhere he can find? Is it going into the cylinders? No puddles underneath and an...

    Tow Truck PTOs (hydraulic over electric?)

    I got a tow truck project, perhaps the correct term would be basket case really. It is a 1986 F350 with an 18ft Chevron Aluminum Bed. I bought the truck off of eBAY last summer with a cracked frame, up by the power steering pump. The dude sold it a few times on the site and every time before...

    Bought a Backup truck that needs work

    Thanks for the welcome, I appreciate it. If the heads are cracked, is there some specific replacement model year/engine code one to get, as to not make matters worse? Or is all really the same?

    Bought a Backup truck that needs work

    I paid for it already, just have to yank it home with an Eager Beaver and a borrowed dump. Anyhow, it is a 1995 GMC 3500 HD Utility truck. It has 40K original on it. The problem is: "This truck Starts and runs with a jump, but when idling it smokes bad, and heats up quick." So what do you...
