    Smoking

    1994 F350 7.3 idi turbo ZF5 swap Recently truck had been getting hard to start when cold and excessive cloud of smoke when it eventually started. Then it would idle and smoke. When driving down the road no smoke in mirror. When I let off the throttle it will smoke again. Not burning any oil...

    ZF5 swap front driveshaft question

    I have a 94 F350 SRW and when I did my swap I used the original front driveshaft which has a double cardigan and it cleared the crossmember but I did have to get the front driveshaft shortened and the rear lengthened

    ZF swap complete

    Been a long time since I have had a manual trans but I wouldn’t say that it is hard to push or hold down compared to any other truck I’ve driven. But like said above I don’t hold it down for long I just put it in neutral until I’m ready to go. I have heard that the south bend is very stiff...

    ZF swap complete

    Thanks to the help from some of y’all and the search bar I’m back on the road. Took first drive yesterday. I used a ZF from a 2wd F Superduty and got driveshafts shortened/lengthend. I used the crossmember from my E4OD that had to be slightly modified. New clutch pedal assembly and pre filled...

    ZF5 swap help!

    What transmission tunnel of hump (whatever you want to call it) will work with a zf5 swap in a 94 f350? Will one out of a manual trans f150 work?

    ZF5 swap help!

    Do any of y’all know if all 2 wheel drive F Super Duty trucks with the manual trans is the 4x4 trans with the brake on the rear instead of the transfer case? Have a guy who has one but he insists that it is 2WD and won’t work for a 4wd. I tried explaining what to look for and I think he is just...

    Stalling

    Well I did the ATF in the filter trick and let it sit a day. I started it up and drove the mess out of it. Hasn’t stalled out since. Thanks for the help.

    Stalling

    1994 F350 7.3 IDI turbo Recently it has started stalling on me but will restart without a problem. I first noticed it would stall when I let off the pedal and began coasting to slow down for a stop sign or red light. I then noticed that if I rev it up while idling in park and let off it will...

    ZF5 swap help!

    Thank you for the help. I have a line on a diesel ZF5 (Needs rebuilt) and one from a 460 That the seller doesn’t know condition. He removed it from a parts truck. Both here local. I think I’m gonna try and get both if the price is right.

    ZF5 swap help!

    I need to know if a ZF5 from a big block motor will bolt up to a 7.3? I’ve used the search function and can’t find the answer. Seems like several have asked but some say yes and some say no. Does anyone have first hand knowledge? I’ve seen several say that the ratio is different for the diesel...
