    Growling in trans/clutch/flywheel area after Lucky mod?

    I overfilled my ZF and the rear seal (new by the way) leaked until I drained it to the level of the fill plug. What a smelly mess all over the exhaust!

    Lucky Mod

    Just thought I'd post another failure. I am a machinist by trade and drilled the 6 holes for grade 8 bolts using new drills. The steel being drilled through is pretty hard. Harder than I expected in the material used even with coolant so keeping a sharp bit may be pretty important or reaming...

    Come on guys....any ideas here? How can I make/add a trigger wheel on the crank or some where that will operate the stock tach?

    pyrometer/boost gauge

    Tachometer

    I have the tach in the dash of the 1992 and the connector that went to the IDI is just hanging there by the IP. I transplanted (after catastrophic engine failure) another engine that has no sensor or plug for it in the IP housing (Mel: thanks for the try, guess my luck is still the same old...

    Tachometer

    6.9 to 7.3 Tachometer Conversion What drives the tach on a 6.9? Will it drive the tach on the later 7.3 IDI?....or is there some sensor I can use from Pick-n-Pull maybe? I knew the 7.3 housing had the sensor but not having the equipment to re-time the IP and not wanting to disturb its...

    1992 F250 2X4 Ext Cab 5 Speed

    Heath, It's a real lousy situation. I just did a lot of work and got it all done and set up for reliable use too. I would like to keep it but I guess it just isn't feasible. The wife wants a car and guess we will be looking for a VW TDI or something along that line. Whoever gets this truck...

    1992 F250 2X4 Ext Cab 5 Speed

    1992 F250 Custom 2x4 IDI diesel, 5 speed, extended cab, long bed. 195k on truck, about 50k on engine. Factory rebuilt transmission. A/C, cruise control, new starter, clutch, and rear main seal. New tires. I believe it to be a good reliable truck. Hate selling but can't keep everything...

    Hood Pull Cable?

    I already lubed it and it is working freely but the cable is definitely too long by about 3/4 inch. Guess I'll see if a cable supply company around here has a way to crimp a new fitting on for a shorter loop. Thanks for the responses!

    Fuel Additive that Removes Water?

    Thanks for the response and the info and links. I think I have some RL-2 here. I'll run some through.

    Hood Pull Cable?

    My hood pull in the cab doesn't release the hood every time and I usually have to pull it a couple of times right at the end of its travel to get it to release. It doesn't return to its position either as if the return spring is not working....if there is one. I checked the cable and it seems...

    Fuel Additive that Removes Water?

    Does anyone know if any of the diesel fuel additives actually mix with and remove some water? Just thought it might be a good idea for a while since I got my Ford running this past week and it has been setting with the tanks empty for a year of so. Seems to be running well but I am cautious.......

    SMF Minimum thicknes

    I can't imagine there being a problem until the release bearing lever won't operate the bearing any longer. Even then you could modify the lever to make up for it. I guess if you got radically thin it could warp the flywheel from heat and torque.
