    Bearing Fun

    Yep, just picked up bearing pullers and attachments for my slide hammer and swapped everything out fresh. Went with 26 in-lbs rolling torque. RTV is setting up tonight, fluid going in tomorrow morning and then a long evening cruise to wear it in.

    Bearing Fun

    In the process of doing a front wheel bearing and tackling the rear diff pinion bearings. As I have the 44HD it was unclear on rockauto and o'Reilly's as to what I neeeded to order and I got mixed info here. Front passenger side outer bearing was told it was A35 but the bearing removed was...

    6.9 IDI Radiator 37x15

    Update: I tries soldering the old one after a pressure test and when reinstalled, it spring two more leaks. Most the cores were pretty corroded. I bought the spectra one off rockauto and it looked pretty good out the box. Installed with no leaks. Only complaint is the fan shroud holes had one...

    6.9 IDI Radiator 37x15

    Thanks everyone. Good call @Rdnck84_03 I may cut the fins and see how bad it is. My fear is if one spot is getting rough on a 38 year old rad, more may begin. I will gove soldering a go, worst it does it get me to the dump a few more times and haul some wood before quitting again. @u2slow when...

    6.9 IDI Radiator 37x15

    Hope everyone is doing well. I just sprung a leak in my radiator last week and after running shroudless to inspect, it is dead center in front of the fan. Radiator express seems to have an OEM one with the correct size, 37x15 core, but at $950 I am interested to see what my options are. I...

    Three legged animal...

    As for your water intrusion, I had three areas on mine causing the rust that you have. 1 was the seam beneath the hood cowl allowing water to sneak inside around the steering column to firewall area. 2 was a section of windshield seal that was rotten, that went away when I replaced windshield. 3...

    “The 6.9” project thread

    Sort of. I blew a leak on one of my hoses and after redoing my system and adding new coolant, to be safe I swapped the 13lb for a 7lb as recommended by Chillman. Still runs at 190 no matter what I do to it

    New injectors arrived. Advice?

    The reason there is mention of the IP removal is most likely to service or replace it with the injectors. It is not uncommon to have IP issues after new injectors due to the higher pop pressure of the new injectors and the worn out IP.

    Infant car seats in these dinosaurs..

    Currently in my 85 with the vinyl rear seat and only lap belts, I drive both kids all over. What I do is pull the belt all the way to the stop, thread it thru the seat and buckle, then I retract it into the reel. On mine, the lock feature keeps it from coming out so I kneel on the seat to really...

    Finally got around to repairing my water temp gauge, wire was cut at firewall. Also removed my broken arm rest and made a set of blackwalnut ones. Went thick to give me a good amount to grab and make me slouch less. Beats having a rusty screw poking my elbow.

    1994 F350 idi..... with a gear vendor o/d and an exhaust brake

    I wouldn't pay that, especially with the body lines. Check that angle between cab and bed. And it has that gross blue tint thats probably scratched to heck. And the bra is broken, looks great.
