    Putting Oil Change into the Tank

    I did read that one of the IP rebuilders, will not take a Pump that was run with old used Engine Oil. Your Engine, do what you want. I remember back ...maybe in the 70`s, Coors was taking the used oil from their trucks, running it through a set of Filters on a Dolly kind of set up, and pumping...

    NV to UT road trip

    Yes that is the name for the road. The Bus driver was a great narriator and knew the history of building the road and the Curved wood bridge was interesting. He said the laminated curved trusses were shipped down from Oregon as I remember. Yes I saw Mt. Rushmore framed by the tunnel, and may...

    Removed cluster now gauges are off

    My bad, didn`t pick up on the year of your truck. 86 I think was the last year for the ICVR, may be a year or 2 later, don`t remember. I did a bunch of reading on these things a couple months ago. And save a few threads and YT`s on the info of these things. I haven`t pulled anything newer...

    NV to UT road trip

    Trying to locate Justin`s shop, seemed like the old GPS was taking me for a ride. Stopped a Fedex delivery truck and she got me going in the right direction. He has a real nice place and still finishing up getting his shop totally set up, and getting Engines out the door and other projects. That...

    Removed cluster now gauges are off

    It could be the (ICVR) Instrument cluster Voltage Relay. There is 12V going into it, and 5v coming out of it. This so the gauges are not damaged by too much voltage. If the oil, fuel and temp do not work, chances it is the ICVR...

    NV to UT road trip

    Spent the night in Rock Springs, and a Windham motel, wasn`t too bad of a place, clean as they can be I guess. $139.00 after Taxes etc... Left this morning at 10:25, Exxon $4.59. Thinking maybe fuel would be cheaper further along, go quite a ways and decide I better tank up, pull off at...

    NV to UT road trip

    Yeah might sound kind of confusing... Driving from Carson City, Nv,. Across Nevada on I-80, and leave Nv, and enter Utah at Wendover. Drive across The Salt Flats of Utah, and enter Salt Lake City. stay on I-80 east, and enter Wyo. at Evanston. When we get to Rawlins, we turn north on Hwy 287...

    NV to UT road trip

    Leaving here tomorrow for Rapid City, Ut. for a Ships Reunion (Navy). 57 years ago I walked off the ship for the last time, walked down Pier 5 in San Diego, Sea bag over my shoulder, turned for one last look of her. She and I were launched the same year, 1944, though I was 19 when I reported for...

    Our beloved FL1995 oil filter is no longer cheap at Walmart

    Was at Wally World today, and 2 1995A Motorcraft filters on the shelf. Still $9.44 ea. the price has not changed any since all the Covid sillyness. Everything else has gone up, but these stay the same. When I heard there were going to be shortages, I slowly stocked up on them, have probably 13...

    Leaf springs

    Have you thought about installing Air Bags? I installed a set of Firestone Bags on my 86, really made a difference hauling a load. When empty you can drop the pressure down to 10psi which they recommend to keep them at. I saw this YT Vid which I copied. I didn`t install to haul more, but...

    KansasIDI’s 1986 Ford F250HD 7.3L IDI

    I wear gloves 99% of the time for most things I do. Walmart has these 3 packs of black vinyl Palm and fingers, but back is a nit cloth. They really hold up, use them for everything. Some times I wear the lite blue mechanic gloves inside them to keep my hands clean and the vinyl one`s keep the...

    Last night i come crawling in 7:30 after working on the Carpet project, and have dinner. Roasted Brussel Sprouts and wild caught broiled Salmon. Turn on the computer to see what you guys are up to, then watch YT vids. Wife hits the sack at 10:30, ok I`ll see you in a bit, I wake up 2am in my...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Today started out, I was going to drop the front tank and see what is leaking from the top. I have pulled the bed about 4 times, but read easier to just drop the tank. OK, I`ll try that. Park the truck in front of the garage on the concrete, go out back crank up the tractor, load up the...

    Motor work. Bent rods, loose lifter,

    Yeah, you never see any older cars on the road anymore. Some don`t pass smog, but are really clean. Before my Wife and I got married. What ever car she had, needed a Water pump. Well she came home with a new Pump, but was attached to a new 85 Mazda 626. Cars today all look alike, one Mfg, to...

    KansasIDI’s 1986 Ford F250HD 7.3L IDI

    Same here. I run the supply line from the front tank to an electric pump. then the return dumps into the side of the rear fill Tube. I cut a hole in the side of the tube just large enough for the threads of a Barb fitting to grab the steel edge. Then JB Welded for a leak tight seal. Be sure to...

    Rear window dividers

    The one question I do have, when installing the inside plastic panels, there is still the inside divider. I wonder if the panel from what ever the year they first went to this new window, will it fit into our older trucks? So we get rid of the inside divider. I see in LazerJock`s thread a few...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Story on it, guy bought it, brought it back said it didn`t work. Manager thought he wired it wrong, but don`t see where any one has been in there to mess with the wiring. My guess he brought it home, and Mama said take it back....LOL Just a fluke I happened to be there that day, but yet...

    Well didn`t do anything today to the truck. Did take apart the Cherry Picker and leak the parts in the corner of the shop. Moved the new Ingersol-Rand 60 Gal up right Compressor I picked up at farm Supply a month or so back, to the back of the shop where I want to install it. It was marked down...
