Diesel junky
I stopped by the local Ford parts counter this morning to buy a new release bearing for the dually and I asked the parts guy if the 460 and 7.3 for the same year listed the same clutch kit - he said no....Now I wonder if that's because the system things the IDI has a DMF and Not a SMF???....Looking at both clutches in my garage they look identical. I have a SMF and like new clutch that was on the 6.9 with a 4 speed (1987) - it looks identical to what was in my diesel 5spd so that's what I planned to use for my swap....Anyone have any input on this? The IDI clutch has more lining left than the 460 (1992) clutch but both are still in really good shape.....Also what is the flywheel bolt torque spec for an IDI?....My IH IDI book only talks about heavier trans stuff.
