We're rich!
Before everyone jumps on the bandwagon, those prices are in monopoly money. It's like $320 US.- Dirtleg

Picked up 96 F250 5 Speed.
So I have an update. I dropped the oil yesterday and about 2 1/2 gallons of crystal clear water came out before any oil. None of it was milkshaked. Great. Oof. I knew this might be a scenario, and it was. I then pulled the oil filter. Zero water contamination in the oil filter. This is a good...- Dirtleg

So what did you do with your truck today?
Today I ordered a one piece flywheel for the IDI. My truck was originally NA, so I ordered that flywheel. The donor truck is a Powerstroke and I am planning to drill the flywheel so I can use the 13" Powerstroke clutch setup. I have the tools necessary to do it right, so that is my plan.- Dirtleg

Picked up 96 F250 5 Speed.
In conversation with the seller he suggested he messed up in his troubleshooting. He at one point thought it was the HPOP as well. He said pulling the injectors was the wrong move as after it was all said and done he found that one of the IPR wires was detached from the IPR plug. Thinks that...- Dirtleg

Wanted 1 factory 16" Alcoa SRW
Well I lucked into a set of 3, factory alcoas on a truck I just picked up. So now I just need 1. Thanks. Edit. Picture of wheel. I can get a close up if needed. -
Picked up 96 F250 5 Speed.
After another day of assessing this trucks condition I am not going to scrap it. Unless of course the engine is shot. I will make a legit attempt to get it running before making that decision. Any parts needed I can either borrow from my other 7.3 Powerstroke, which is getting a new frame...- Dirtleg

Picked up 96 F250 5 Speed.
So in my quest to obtain a 5 speed swap for my 93' F350 IDI I came across this truck. It was priced similar to what I am seeing a ZF-5 go for by itself. The good. Well it's 4wd. Seems completeish. (More on that in a bit) 7.3 Powerstroke that does turn over. New IDM. (Previous owner installed...- Dirtleg

So what did you do with your truck today?
That is one option. The truck doesn't seem scrap bad. I haven't had a chance to go through it yet and see what's good/bad. If I can get it running well I may throw a spare E4OD in it and give it to my son. He want's an OBS Ford pretty bad. I got a title with it. He's on deployment currently...- Dirtleg

So what did you do with your truck today?
Today, actually yesterday but I just got home, I picked up a 5 sp donor truck. 96 F250 7.3 Powerstroke ZF5. Engine is good but he pulled the injectors chasing a no start. New IDM as well. He suggested at this point it could be IPR wiring as he believes one of the wires is broken off the plug...- Dirtleg

Engine swap - 2001 into an early 1999
Should swap right over just fine. I believe the injector spec's were different on the 99 from the 01, but since IDM's are interchangeable year over year it shouldn't be an issue.- Dirtleg

I am perplexed
Good to know. I will make sure I address it before putting the truck back into service. Apparently the truck ran well before the squirrel got it, at least that's what I was told, as the damage happened before I acquired it. So I naturally thought it was the crossed exposed wires that damaged...- Dirtleg

Engine making a "knocking" sound and whistling from the exhaust. What things should i check?
Have you tried loosening 1 injector line at a time while running to see if it is indeed injector related? When I bought my skid steer it had a bad knock. Thought it might be the bottom end initially. It was extremely obvious that it was injector related, not mechanical, and which cylinder when...- Dirtleg

So what did you do with your truck today?
Well today Big Ugly got the front grill, bumper, and headlights installed. Managed to get the bumper sitting a bit straighter than before. I noticed the upper part of the mount on the frame was bent backwards a bit so I bent them back forward. Also added a shim to the top bumper bolt. It's...- Dirtleg
