    Ray-Wel High Flow Intake System?

    No sir, this truck showed up with a 6.9 and a T19. I grabbed the T19 and bellhousing to keep as a spare. The hood was in incredible condition. I may be going back for it and the fenders, as I need one the driver side

    Ray-Wel High Flow Intake System?

    A reduction in smoke could be an interesting test. I’m putting an R&D IDI RD2-80 pump onto my 89 7.3 n/a van motor, and I don’t have a turbo for the engine at the moment. It’s in the works. A new kit is obscenely expensive and they’re only going up - I’m thinking about using the same amount of...

    Ray-Wel High Flow Intake System?

    I agree, I’d like to have this top renewed & restored with new paint. It’s a nice looking cap.

    Project Thread: 1986 F250 “Farm Truck #1” Build Thread

    I bought Justin’s remaining RD2-80cc from this run. There are a few N/A pumps remaining as of this post. I have a question: I’ll be running this RD2-80cc pump on an N/A truck, until I can turbo and stud the heads. If I keep my foot out of it and pump screw turned down, Will I run into any...

    I’d keep an eye out one your local Facebook marketplace. Parts for these pop up if keep looking

    Ray-Wel High Flow Intake System?

    Reviving this thread because I found this: There’s a Dyno tuner around the corner. It would be a fun test to answer the question of how does this air cleaner impact wheel numbers.

    What does this noise sound like?

    Thanks, I just read through your thread, and I’ll go back to it when I do that inspection.

    Project Thread: 1986 F250 “Farm Truck #1” Build Thread

    We Found another 86 at the Yard today and I saved the T19 from the crusher. No way I was going to try and wrestle with pulling the 6.9 that was still in the truck, but it looked like a core motor. I’m going back tomorrow to grab the injectors and other misc parts off of it like the intake...

    I got around to trying to use it this weekend. The fittings leaks and I didn’t have any fuel tape handy. I’ll try again on a coming weekend.

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

    If you’re ever in the South East VA section of the state, then I have a complete DTI timing Kit available to use for timing. FWIW I bought a brand new cowl seal from rock auto for about $60 + shipping. Had to put my own silicone caulk sealant behind it for it to do anything.

    Installed Dreg's Garage's brass return caps

    I’m looking into getting a set of these or R&D’s return rail. How have these held up?

    Best location for a fuel CHECK VALVE???

    I’m looking to be proactive with hunting down air intrusion in order to beat difficult hard starts. The check valve should prevent fuel drain back. So I would think the best place to install a fuel check valve in these trucks would be in the soft fuel delivery line just before the lift pump...
