I have a 89 f250 7.3idi with the 4x4 zf5 transmission. I have a buddy with an 89 f250 v8 parts truck that has a recently rebuilt flywheel, transfer case and zf5 trans. Anyone know off hand if the gas flywheel, transmission and transfer case bolt straight in to my diesel?
@IDIBRONCO hey, thanks for the advice!
I really don't have time to wait around for a delivery from Ebay, this truck is my only vehicle ... I think I'm just going to get an aftermarket pump from the parts store today.
So, it's better to get a used pump in questionable condition from Ebay than to buy a new aftermarket pump from a parts store?
Also, do you all know of a decent write up (or video) online for replacing the lift pump?
I have the Haynes manual for my truck but it doesn't cover the idi. It's very...
I drove my truck up to 8000' on Mount Lassen in northern California yesterday. When I reached a parking lot near the summit and stopped to look at my map, the truck hesitated a couple of times at idle, exactly the way it does just before it runs out of fuel. My gas gauge don't work and I know I...
@franklin2 Very interesting. Glad to get that tid bit. I didn't put any extra grease on my passenger side. Kept everything really clean and didn't drop my bearings in the dirt this time. I'll mark on my calendar to pop off the lock out hub area and check for excessive grease in a few weeks. It...
Got the drivers side ball joints finished. That was considerably more work than I expected. Now that I've done one side, and have all the tools and grease handy, the passenger side should be a piece of cake tomorrow. Thanks guys!
Aw shoot! :idiot: So, what would happen if I watched a YouTube video that told me to put a big glob in the cavity, and then I did it? Burst a seal or worse?
On with the next thing. So... I ended up having one of my wheel bearings fall out of the hub while I was putting the darn thing back on the spindle. Of course the bearings fell in the dirt. Now... I think to myself... maybe that's a sign to clean this old hub, replace the seals and repack the...

I started replacing my ball joints today and I just realized that I need an axle spindle nut socket. Can anyone explain to me which socket I need to get? Autozone said they have 6 point and 12 point spindle nut socket sets that "should work". I can't find any information as to...
:idiot: I just cross threaded the top of one of my injectors while replacing my return caps. I see several different posts that suggest using a tap and die to rethread it. However, there seems to be several different people suggesting several different thread sizes. Anyone what size thread our...
Here's a picture of my return to tank setup. As you can see there's the 5/16 push connection at one end. Leading to 5/16 nylon. The last 10", where it ties into the hard line from the injectors and injection pump is 5/16 fuel hose. Should I replicate this setup or is there a better way to do it?
I was afraid of that. Guess I'll put that job on the back burner for now. It seems to be my luck that for every one thing I fix, two more come up along the way. At least my batteries are charging again! Hopefully it will be a while before I need to take my newly designed, all in one, fuel filter...
