    Farmer Rock's crew cab and 12 valve swap....

    Hey, yeah it got put on hold unfortunately. A lot of stuff came up with work, and I'm trying to start a business right now, so a lot going on. Kind of a long story, but I ended up with a 12v 2nd gen dodge and a 91 crew cab international. I'm using the international for work now, trying to slim...

    Zd29s vs Zd9s...for the inquiring mind...

    Are we talking about the Oldsmobile diesel plugs? Rock

    Zd29s vs Zd9s...for the inquiring mind...

    I know they aren't Beru plugs, that's kind of the point here. Whether or not Beru plugs is what showed up isn't the question, I already know they aren't. The point is that they were advertising them that way. And this was Rock Auto surprisingly enough. Amazon or eBay I would believe, but not...

    Zd29s vs Zd9s...for the inquiring mind...

    That's the kicker, in the add they had Beru engraved just like a zd9, then they got here and had no writing. My guess is they used the zd9 picture in the add, and sent me china crap. I'm surprised, I've always had good experiences with Rock Auto, but we will see what they have to say, you can be...

    I also have no clue if the gp tip made it out or not, but it runs perfect. Rock

    Zd29s vs Zd9s...for the inquiring mind...

    Zd29 And the answer is zd9s,lol. So I bought these motor craft zd29s by mistake from Rock Auto. I thought they were 9s. I figured I'd try them anyway. On my way home today, and it was like deja Vu with the 5.4. I couldn't believe it. So I say all this to warn you against 29s. Rock

    6.9 Sounds Hollow, Clatter/Rattle with Low Oil Level.

    Is it the plastic return line caps that leak? If it's a high pressure line leaking, you will absolutely have a knocking sound, being that it's really only running on 7 cylinders at that point. I do have to ask though......why would you start it up knowing there was very little oil, if any. Rock

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    No, previous owner used those stupid tap thread adapters on 3v plugs. Stripped out what was left of the threads. Rock

    Project Thread: 89 F250 Franken Truck

    I believe I remember hearing of the IH dealers pressurizing the oil cooler with compressed air. You just have to figure out how much psi, and make all kinds of adapters. There was an old thread on this. Rock

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I ended up having to daily drive the IDI since last Wednesday since the 5.4 blew another plug:smash:..... I've got plans for that truck though, since I like the truck but not so much the drivetrain. Anyhow, the old IDI has been great under the circumstances. I planned on going through it before...

    Easiest 4x4 conversion?

    Nobody has mentioned the gearing difference. The f super duty will probably have 4.88s or 5.13s. meaning if you swap in an f350 front axle, you will have to regear one of them to match. The f350s had 3.55s,3.73s,4.10s, and sometimes 4.56s. there will be a difference in gearing either way. Rock

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    That one I pictured, has just been sitting around here, so I figured why not. That was something I wanted to do with my first IDI but never did. I think it'll be neat, and paint it all up decent. The measurements look very close, it should work. Rock

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Didn't do a whole lot today, but mostly because I spent a lot of time swapping doors and adjusting them. I feel like I'm driving a Rolls Royce, I got me some power winda's and locks,lol I was rather surprised that everything functions properly on the new doors I didn't think it could look any...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Most likely, I'll find out next tank full. I'll just figure out the fuel usage and find out. I'll probably pull the bed off soon anyway for something else, so I'll replace the shower heads with hose at that point. Rock
