    Lucas Super Coolant

    Hmmmm. It needs ions in the water. I think I'd pass on that. You might try some redline water wetter. I use fleetcharge for my antifreeze. The instructions seem pretty simple and I can get it at Oreilleys but they keep it in the back.

    Carbon fiber accessories for idi's?

    You should have built some fat flares into them. All the cool kids are doing that. Make sure you paint a big middle finger on them for the safety inspection guys and tell him to rub his hand along the edge really fast to check for any rough edges. What a racket that is. Exactly how is that a...

    short wide radiator

    I don't think an 84-87, 88 power booster is even the same as yours. I would be looking under the hood of that f450 and seeing if I couldn't steal a hydroboost setup :sly Power boosters are pretty reasonably priced. Around $60 for a rebuilt one. edit to add. Can't hurt to try the later...

    Reasonable engine rebuild estimate

    Hook a battery and some fuel to it and it'll sound like a big rig with an air starter starting. Which leads me to believe the impact will spin it fast enough.

    Real sharp IDI in town for sale

    The interior ought to be whorehouse red. Bring it down to California. Towcat'll chop it up for scrap. ;Poke "Last year of non-turbo idi (pre-powerstroke)" That right there makes me want to go buy it.

    hard brake pedal- great start to the day!!

    A1-Cardone 64-1006, 64-1008 It's something like that but look it up for YOUR truck. Check for a loose vacuum hose, too.

    New injectors

    Why wouldn't you go new? Price is about the same for quality remans. If you buy from the best, ask if you can send them back and have them pop tested and adjusted when you put your new pump on. Type4 and Agnem both offer matched injector sets.

    For those of you with vans. I salute you.

    Try five alternators in a 914. I got paid for the first one. I truly hated seeing that car come back into the shop.

    Reasonable engine rebuild estimate

    Brad, Did that everything include Bronze valve guides? icanfixall, you have a more specific location? PM me if you prefer.

    Boost gauge sender sealing.

    Get in the habit of not using teflon tape on anything except for water pipe. Then you'll never do something stupid and use it where it shouldn't be used which is everywhere else. Teflon tape is spectacular at plugging really small holes and causing really expensive damage. It may have been...

    New injectors

    Run 'em. Only improvement you could do would be to go to a vendor that will test 100 of them on the pop tester and group them in groups of 8 with similar pop off pressures. Those Bostech look like remans to me. Especially since there's a core charge on a search I did. Be aware that timing...

    Where to ground a wrap style fuel filter heater

    I would put a relay in and use the GP power as a signal for the relay. Can you run your wire to the other end of the battery ground cable? There should be a bolt there you can put a ring on. That's how all the positive wires seems to be done on mine. Ring terminal to the hot side of the...

    Where is it located? Since mine has never worked, I'd like to see if the PO disconnected it.

    #8 Exhaust Manifold Bolts...both broken...

    I found this in the 6.9L update 83 A code vs 84 and later B code engines -- S/N 125553 Remove exhaust manifold locking tabs to ease servicing. I wonder if that has something to do with your prevailing torque vs. standard bolts?

    Long story/ amp lite on

    The warning lamp on a ford sits between positive from the alternator and positive from the battery. When the key is on but the engine is not running, power flows from the battery (actually the battery cable), through the lamp to the alternator. Once the engine is running and the alternator...

    Injection Pump Nut Wrench

    It's for the three nuts on the back of the housing, not for the bolts inside the housing. Those are 12-point 5/16, not 9/16. You really only need it for the passenger side in my experience. Look at how icanfixall ground it. You need to take quite a bit off of it. I think a little more bend...

    Coolant leaks on the heads

    Tom, Thank you for the picture. If I may steal it, it appears that mine is leaking where the red circle is. Except it's the rear cylinder on the passenger side. You mind me asking about costs on rebuilding your heads? I have to decide to try some supposedly low mileage used heads or go...

    #8 Exhaust Manifold Bolts...both broken...

    Being that your bolts fell out, I would hazard a guess that there wasn't an interference thread situation going on there. You do know prevailing torque means, use once and throw away? They're also designed to be torqued to a specific amount. How's the access in there for a torque wrench...

    Fuel problem has everyone around here stumped.. Please Help!

    Did you remove your fuel cap and drive around? That was mentioned earlier. Regarding the suggestion of using a faucet supply line for a fuel line. There's a reason they don't last and the particles that are being released when it breaks down are going directly into your fuel delivery...

    Coolant leaks on the heads

    It appears I might have two coolant leaks. Parked the truck and went out the next morning and saw moisture under the driver's side. Taste test says it's coolant. Crawling under the truck it appears that the coolant is coming from the top of the rear of the head where it mates to the block. A...

    coil springing a D60 front

    LCAM, I think you maybe misunderstanding the wristed setup. It puts a pivot just behind the C section of the front of ONE of the radius arms. It basically eliminates the gigantic sway bar made up of the two radius arms and the front axle tube. When you do want that sway bar effect, you just...
