    1994 F350 7.3 idi needs an engine

    Just order a flexplate for a truck with the M vin code. If the 92 is a standard, there is no flexplate to remove since it has a flywheel. You'll have to order one new. As long as the flexplate specifies for vin code M trucks or says N/A specifically, you're good. And while it's true that the...

    1994 F350 7.3 idi needs an engine

    I'm assuming you're keeping the auto trans? If so, you'll have to order the proper flexplate for the N/A 7.3. Turbo and N/A engines are balanced differently based on the connecting rod differences and should not be interchanged.

    14in sae 2 clutch torque rating

    The weight does affect it. Hard to measure, but transmission, axle, clutch torque capacity ratings are all set with a certain vehicle/load weight in mind. Lowering that weight does increase the torque capacity of the driveline parts. Case in point, this is why you aren't seeing people put T56...

    10-Lug 22.5 Wheel question

    Just picked up a 1991 Ford F800 and admittedly, I don’t know much about the differences in big rig sized wheels between manufacturers. I understand some are lug pilot and others are hub pilot, but I’m curious if there are any major differences across manufacturers and years or if they share the...

    10-lug Swapping a 93 F250

    Interesting. I thought they only put Dana 80's under cab & chassis trucks. So a 99+ F350 Dually Super Duty could potentially have a Dana 80?

    10-lug Swapping a 93 F250

    I'll have to measure the leaf spring perches on my current axle but I know for a fact that the frame is 37.5 inches wide measuring from the outside of the frame rails. The truck that my Dana 80 came out of has the standard 34 inch wide frame that pretty much all cab&chassis trucks have. Are all...

    10-lug Swapping a 93 F250

    I understand that this swap is very involved and yes, it's really not practical given the costs and time vs just buying a F-450/F-Superduty. However, a friend of mine is basically giving me a set of 10-lug front and real axles with all the mounts, springs, etc for free. After doing some...

    1996 F-Superduty 7.3 won’t stay running

    There's actually no block heater installed. I pulled the IDM out of the truck and was going to sell it to a buddy (no codes were thrown about the IDM when scanned) since his IDM is giving signs that its going bad. His truck started on it but sounded like it was only running on a few cylinders...
