I do plan to add studs to it eventually. I'd like to rebuild the turbo engine but I haven't even cracked into it to see how bad it is. There mirros SUCK! They always move and are so loose on the mounts. This is the second set I've had. I pulled them off my 95. The rot out from the inside. I want...
Like I said, I plan on plating the frame. I specifically checked there when I bought the truck but since it was on the inside I wasn't able to tell. I had 2 F150s with a lot worse frame rot that never had and catastrophic issues driving them around for a little while longer. The frame is still...
I got some Superduty upfitters and they fit perfectly in the cubby hole (just about). There's a little space on the side but I just stick disposable gloves in that space. Also got a $5 cup holder that works great. Just tucked it under the seat and it stays put. I do have a 40/20/40 seat and...
Some light action. Pics don't really do it justice. They'll light up both sides of a 3 lane higheway (6 total). I have 2 more 7" for the front. Been thinking about getting 2 smallers ones to point off to the sides for full coverage.
44 magnum shells fit perfect over the valve stems...
Hauls the 5500lb empty trailer pretty easily
Had a little mishap on a scrap run, Tailgate took the brunt. Good thing I have another rust free gate. Just needs to be painted. Thankfully my diesel badge survived.
Picked up an Exploder OHC and some new style dome lights. Still have to get the...
Not the prettiest but it got the job done. Slapped some paint on it and put it on the truck. I'd still like to replace it with a rust free one eventually.
In will say the Champion radiator is excellent. I've been running no fan all summer towing decent loads (10k) and only one time on a...
I wasn't able to finish it completely. On top of that my DB electrical starter literally lasted 3 times of cranking before it cooked itself and would barely spin. I also had to fix my rotten core support. I bought champion radiator after my 89's sprung a leak an I robbed the one from my 93 for it.
Not much progress over the winter as I was working outside in a tent which then collapsed on the truck after a heavy storm and not being around to clear it off due to work. Feb rolls around and my uncle, who has a nice shop a couple towns over was going away for the week and said I could use his...
Once of the main reasons I originally got into diesels and IDIs particularly is their tolerance for alternate fuels. Back in mid 2011 I needed/wanted a tow rig crew cab diesel F350 that I could daily. I searched for a few months originallyl ooking for a stroke and ended up Getting an 89 F350...
This truck has been kind of a headache. It left me stranded 200 miles from home. The fuel selector valve stopped working and airbound the system and at the same time the fuel pump died and filled the crankcase with fuel which ultimately killed my starter.
I was daily driving this truck for a...
I have pretty much the same trailer you're describing. It should weigh 5000-5500. Mine is an Eager Beaver 9 ton. I towed my 95 CCLB powerstroke filled with tools grossing over 11k by itself with my 88 F250 7.3 N/A with no trailer brakes. Granted it was only a few miles back to my house, it...
I bought these off Ebay. They were $200 for a set of 4. I had experience with Rigids and these are like the same quality. I am very happy with them so far.
I'm always buying trucks so I was planning on saving it incase I ever need it. I try and save as many parts as possible since I always...
Geez I didn't even realize they were missing on the driver's side! I don't drive this truck really except for around the yard due to the clutch issues at the moment. I do have some extra clamps I'll throw on.
