DB2 Fuel Intake Thread
Got my IP back from a CDD rebuild and the fitting at the center intake was removed. Asked them about it and was scolded for not removing it before sending in. Fine, lesson learned. Now I'm trying to find the threads on the pump to get an adaptor. There is no way in hell I will purchase a new...- divemaster5734

Ford Says "Hold My Beer"
It is possible the truck rolled off the assembly line with the switch mounted on the dash, with everything in place to add an extra tank except a fill tube, sender wiring, and fuel lines to the selector solenoid. The wiring for the Bronco part under the hood and dash is crazy low budget. Open...- divemaster5734

1989 ZF542 on 7.3 Clutch Interlock
In truth I could just leave the bypass jumper in the connector that's buried above the steering column they used for the E4OD's, which I'm getting rid of. Kept the interior harness, but have the ZF5 tranny harness and the manual PCU. I haven't driven a stick in years, and am mostly concerned...- divemaster5734

Ford Says "Hold My Beer"
Yup. I wonder how many of these trucks that went out like this had some random failure that cost unsuspecting owners a lot of grief.- divemaster5734

Ford Says "Hold My Beer"
Tearing out the dash on a 1989 F350 Lariat Centurion conversion today. It's a short body crew cab base with one tank. Found this tank switch with the selector electrical tapped to the 1 selection. It was buried deep behind the dash, right next to the clutch interlock connector with the bypass...- divemaster5734

1989 ZF542 on 7.3 Clutch Interlock
Attached is a extract of the interlock from the Ford service manual for 1989, all E and F series. It shows two clips, one orientation and one plastic retainer, that hold the switch in place. New clutch masters don't come with a clip or retainer, nor do new switches. The new master does come with...- divemaster5734

7.3idi Fuel Check Valve Recommendations
Getting rid of the mechanical fuel pump on my '90 7.3idi. Picked up a Holly Red pump and Racor 500 water separator/filter/heater, which I'm installing on the frame rail at the tank. Going to install a Holly 4-9psi regulator and gauge on the plate that previously held the OEM separator. The...- divemaster5734

7.3 Diesel Transmission Adaptor Plate
I'd be willing to pay for your time and shipping. I ordered one that's on the way, but I don't know if it will fit. Once it's in I'll mount the starter and see how it works. Is the a PM feature on this forum?- divemaster5734

7.3 Diesel Transmission Adaptor Plate
Appreciate the confirmation! This engine transmission swap/conversion is several "first's" for me, that the donor and mod trucks are 34 and 35 years old, with inconsistent listings and upgraded parts bolting on only adding an unexpected quandary. Thank you.- divemaster5734

7.3 Diesel Transmission Adaptor Plate
To keep a long story short, I've found myself in need of the adaptor plate for a 7.3idi to ZF542. I know the part number is 1800475C1. Doing a search that includes the engine/transmission year has limited options. That said, doing a part number only search shows these plates listed for 88-91...- divemaster5734

The one pulled off has a rubber middle between steel. I'm going with the solid, no middle rubber one. Thanks for all the input.- divemaster5734

Solid vs Elastomer Harmonic Balancer- Which is Better?
Understanding just enough to get myself in trouble consistently, I'm hoping someone with a better understanding of all the competing harmonic imbalances can help clarify something. I searching for a replacement balancer for a 7.3idi engine that I'm adding a modified 088 ATS turbo that is...- divemaster5734

'90 7.3idi Harmonic Balancer Fit Years
Can't say I understand why they would delete the earlier years, unless the new model's are of better quality. Heading out shortly to a chain store to compare. The only ones listed for 88-91 are also listed up to 97, so obviously interchangeable. Which only opens up a Pandora's Box that will now...- divemaster5734

'90 7.3idi Harmonic Balancer Fit Years
Been searching for a new harmonic balancer for a '90 F350idi. Going through online parts suppliers it appears as though the '88-'91 model parts are scarce. That said, '92 and up are everywhere. I'm wondering what's the difference, if any. For instance, I had to get a new clutch/slave assembly. I...- divemaster5734
