    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Finally got the bed back on and bolted down. Fuel lines reconnected. I pulled it because front tank was leaking, really didn`t see from where. Tightened all clamps etc... I have a 2/4" threaded fitting screwed into the Roll over grommet, maybe it wasn`t down tight enough? Pulled it and thought...

    Rear main seal replacement

    I was under the impression all IDI`s (6.9/7.3) were all the same. (as far as the Crank) maybe the 94, last year some changes were made because of the factory Turbo. I doubt Ford had 2 different cranks for 250 and 350. I don`t remember reading anything on it. Iam still stumbling along learning...

    Rear main seal replacement

    In the kit it has a metal cup to drive it on? I bought that same one, and thought what is this goofy thing? None of the pictures of an IDI Crank did I see a speedy Sleeve with this Flange. So then bought a different one or type OEM From Ford (but through E-bay) Has 4 pins and a tool to drive it...

    Best radiator hose clamp?

    My 82 Datsun 720 KC had the OM 300ZX clamps when I bought it new. Never had a leak problem with them. Goat

    Rear main seal replacement

    Hacked89 did have a good YT Video of installing the Real Main. Guess he took it down. I watched it several times before I installed the Plate. Be sure you clean off the top of the Oil pam and corners, then apply your RTV (Right Stuff) especially in the corners. Tip the Plate at an angle like...

    Rear main seal replacement

    How about something like this? I assume you are talking about the rear of the Engine. https://www.autobodytoolmart.com/product/3m-scotch-brite-roloc-clean-strip-disc-black-07466/grinding-discs Walmart has one I buy, pretty agressive and should clean up the back of the engine. They around 8 -...

    "Snake Eyes" 1985 F350 Project Thread

    The Sleeper is the right size to not over bear it. Seen some look like take off`s from a Semi. Yours is balanced out pretty good. Goat

I have a fuel leak from the front tank, so decoded to finally pull the bed to take a lookie at it. Getting good at it, 4th time with the Cherry Picker. Did the Fast Fill vent mod to both tanks...

    Rear main seal replacement

    Did you read through the link in post#5? I must have done something right even though I was unsure if I was doing things right stumbling along getting the dang rear seal installed. Put a few thousand miles on her and no leaks. I put a link of the Rotunda Ford tool to press the seal into the...

    Trailered home a 1989 F350 dump truck that looks great on the outside, but the 7.3 IDI is something else

    That is great you are going the extra mile and doing the engine right, cutting corners can come back and bite you in the .... Pay now or pay later. If this truck isn`t going to see many miles as you said above, why not just go with one tank, and eliminate the FSV? I went through my fuel system...
