    E40d - t-19 swap

    Knew that was what he was asking, and agree just leave it. Being never done one before not really sure how things compare between the two body styles.

    E40d - t-19 swap

    Everything should fit other then maybe drive line. No computer to worry about as the engine does not need or use one. Steering column can leave , just remove shifter handle. never have done it myself , but with both trucks in front of you just start comparing things.

    Gaugeing interest in western Mt get together

    I would be interested Adam. Not sure where you are thinking , Hauser Lake has a real nice area that has an area where one can reserve. An spot for about 6 trailers or so. But one has to get at that one soon to reserve as it books up fast.

    Alleged IDI Turbo with "C" as 8th digit in VIN??

    This list is not complete in not showing that in fact in 1993 the factory IDIT 8th position should be a C. The information I posted comes from a 1993 7.3 IDI Turbo Diesel Ford service Manual Supplement.

    Pushrod out of alignment?

    Those bowels as you call them are the rocker arms, a left handed bit normally will spin the bolt out. When you used ether did you disable the glow plug system. NEVER NEVER use ether with an active glow plug system. It can and will cause damage, could be what broke the bolts and push rods...

    Need idi timing help

    A lot of guys shops just time them by ear anymore. Its the only way I have done mine. Also pretty hard to even find a shop that has one anymore. How does it run set at the factory marks and what kind of problem are you having now with it.

    My 7.3 engine build

    What does the gear vender have direct and over or an under to. When I first got my 93 dually it had the wide ratio, was great on the road empty, but for what I pull loaded, 18 to 20k it was no good. Rebuilt the trans and made it a close ratio , pulls great now and run down the road 75...

    Am I dead in the water

    The 5.7 GM diesel was very closely in looks and design to the 5.7 Olds engine. It is what make them nice in swapping to a gas engine. The gas would bolt right in and if remember right there was hard parts, tin work that you could interchange. It is also what made them a poor diesel too. Even...

    If you get a ZF5 get the close ratio one for pulling that kind of weight. Had the wide ratio in mine and it was no good for pulling what I do. Have no experience on the ZF6 .

    Am I dead in the water

    You would need to pull water pump then front timing cover plate to insure pump gear does not jump when pulling the pump cover where your leak is. Although more work is probably your best route. Either way the pump and lines have to come off first. After that could pull the pump cover and if...

    what is your top end right now and mileage now? You might regret the 3.73s I would go with the overdrive or ZF first if it was me.

    Am I dead in the water

    You would have to be extremely careful pulling the pump cover without pulling the whole front end off.
