    DT360 into 1991 F350

    Yes - SAE #2 is the most common interface for these.

    DT360 into 1991 F350

    FWIW, I was shopping for these recently. 5305/5306 is commonly used with the 5.9 cummins, and the 6306 shows up with DT466 and 7.2 Cats. I ended up with a 6306 due to price and availability. The Spicer 7 speeds (aka "6plus") are another one to look at.

    Changing Transmission Fluid.....

    I put basic stuff in. Bought a whole bucket of oil. Now is the time to consider things like a deeper pan, temperature probe, and/or possibly an external filter. I put in some Lucas transmission snake oil in at the same time. It may have helped something. Didnt do anything bad. Sold that E350...

    Stressed over issue

    Best thing I ever added was a pressure gauge for the HPO system. A few bits from a hydraulics shop to get setup. (fitting, hose, gauge.) If the HPOP doesnt/cant make pressure, the engine cant start. Not starting with good pressure is an electronics problem.

    FS6306 procured!

    I finally nabbed a real transmission Now the harder part remains.... the rest of the bits. I have the SAE2 flywheel housing and divorced 205 - but still need a clutch, flywheel, starter, slave cyl arrangment, mounts of some kind, and a spicer 1710 weld-yoke.

    Source for quality rotors?

    There is no sure-fire way to get quality these days, so I roll the dice and get whatever i can land on my doorstep cheapest.

    Should I buy this truck?

    If you're not familiar with older IDI diesels, they do seem underpowered. Its even worse with an auto trans though.

    Should I buy this truck?

    Diesel with a manual trans and turbo... $1200 wouldnt bother me at all. Even at $1500

    2000 mile trip in 1990 F250 with 2,400 lbs in bed?

    PTOs are very specific about what they fit for gear pitch and size. Only the 6 bolt flange is generic.

    2000 mile trip in 1990 F250 with 2,400 lbs in bed?

    A tire catalog or tire shop might say that. I had no issues running them for about 10 years. Thats 285/75R16 Kelly ATRs on a ford 16x7 wheel. Kept the tire pressue rather low unless I actually had payload to haul. I save my 8" wide wheels for 315/75R16's.

    2000 mile trip in 1990 F250 with 2,400 lbs in bed?

    Nice! I prefer 265's over 235's for that reason. Haven't seen those 14ply 235 skins in a long time. I had a set that were re-treaded... and that was 25 years ago.

    2000 mile trip in 1990 F250 with 2,400 lbs in bed?

    235/80R16 trailer tires migt be 3800#, but 235/85R16 truck tires are typically only 3050#.

    Can't Find 2" Lift Kit - 1986 F-250 6.9L 4x4

    2000 mile trip in 1990 F250 with 2,400 lbs in bed?

    I wouldnt have any problem with a ton in a F250 with a fullfloater. The axle can handle more. It is de-rated for the stock tires. Load E doesnt say much. How many actual pounds? I try to run 3500-4000# tires on my trucks - the rear anyway. 285/75R16E is usually 3750# rated and fits nicely on...

    Grease for driveshaft slip yoke splines?

    Dana/spicer series ujoints mean dana/spicer shafts. edit: to be clear, dana/spicer end yokes on the shaft that use 1330, 1350, 1410, etc ujoints.
