DT360: The beginning
Looks like the DT manifold will outflow the Cummins by a good bit. Looking forward to pics of you pulling the head off as well as shortening the water pump. Maybe if shortening the pump doesn't work you could examine the possibility of making an adapter to put a commonly available but more...- dpaqu

Worth messing with this starter?
Is going to a rebuild shop better than buying a rebuilt unit? Hmmm. I guess that would depend on the rebuild shop. Autozone lifetime warranty is interesting but I am more interested in it just not failing in the future Getting a free replacement after I spend 300 dollars getting towed is...- dpaqu

Worth messing with this starter?
I thought I had burned out the starter on my '86 f-250 when it all of a sudden it quite cranking. Weather is finally good enough that I got some time to pull the starter. When I did I noticed that the wire that grounds the starter to the case had come un-soldered. I took it to Auto zone and...- dpaqu

I haven’t noticed any oil in the coolant. Just the two mixed together on the ground. I will double check when I get out of work. I will post pics too as soon as I figure that all out.- dpaqu

Should I fix it or sell it?
Ok, long post but bear with me. I bought an extended cab 86 F-250 XL with a C6 in November for 500$. The OD has rolled so it probably has 153,000 maybe 253,000. Miles. It started with no block heater in 13-degree weather and I witnessed no blow by when I removed the oil fill cap. I bought...- dpaqu

First diesel truck
Yeah its still for sale price reduced to 4,900$. I am tempted to pull the trigger on it. I am trying to figure out how much a trans refresh would cost if I farmed it out. local shop here in MI says 2 grand maybe more. Of course I just bought an '86 IDI F-250 for 500$ but I guess you can...- dpaqu

89-93 1st gen with 72-77 body panels
I imagine it would be easier to find a good pre-emissions truck and swap in the drivetrain and associated components. I see a lot of trucks with good engines but with the body/chassis falling apart around them.- dpaqu
