    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Service my PSD today, added hot shot. Between new oil and Hot Shot hope that will cure the cold morning loping. Old only had 4100 miles on it which is not real bad. Polished the headlights too.

    Cleaning out some spare IDI parts

    Where did that go?

    If it just going into the flat plate of the timing cover, I believe they are 5/16 -18 UNC ,probably 3/4 to 1 " long. 14 lbs torque. If in doubt on length stick a wire in until bottoms out then a little shorter.

    7.3 idi 93 to 89 swap?

    You have to change your drive belts though, pulleys and such unless you are upgrading to serpentine belt. 93 will be serpentine.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    So advancing it some will make it not roll coals as much? On my 93 IDIT it will roll pretty good , pulling pretty heavy 18k, Always timing it kind of by ear being have not found anyone around here with a time meter.

    Autolite Failure (Non idi)

    Nope used them clean up until 90s when stop being a mechanic, can't say I ever had a problem then with them. Did a lot of engine rebuilding and use a lot of them.

    2x4 to 4x4 swap. What years for parts?

    1 ton duallys that are 4x4. They all are built with cab and chassis parts. Or 2x4 dually boxes where put on them. Ford did not built dually 4x4 until 1999 , like my picture. I guess there was a good number of companies out there that did after market conversions though.

    Dodges,but not Fords unless they where modified.

    2x4 to 4x4 swap. What years for parts?

    But again if you only what to use one set of rims , duals, the front axle will need to come from a cab and chassis truck, as duallys with pickup box where never make as 4x4 from the factory in those year. One could use a single wheel axle but IMO would look funny.

    2x4 to 4x4 swap. What years for parts?

    I have a 93 dually IDIT , limited slip been driving for years in snow country. That said a lot of pieces to find to make it 4x4, parts from a cab and chassis is your best bet. to keep it as a one ton and a cab is chassis is all you will as a 4x4 in those years.

    torque values

    Taken from my Ford service manual supplement. For a clutch flywheel , but see no reason a flex plate would not have the same torque value.

    4x4 shifting

    Shift my 90 all the time rolling with little noise. tires need to be all the same size and not under load when doing. I drove a lot of old farm trucks with straight cut gears too.
