    Can I do this to test something

    I put grease on a paint brush and dab the throw out bearing, clutch fork, and input shaft where the t.o.b rides about once a year. This is on a zf5 though. These clutch springs are very stiff either way. I’ve been trying to talk the south bend clutch guys in to building new hydraulics for our...

    Money Pit #2 Won't run.

    You said you had it running out of a 5 gallon gas can? Do you have a return line ran into the can from the injectors? If not, run one Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Is a turbo mandatory for fuel economy?

    I have an all stock 96 f150, 302 5 speed 4x4 3.55s and it’s lucky to get half the fuel mileage of my idi Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Is a turbo mandatory for fuel economy?

    Check out some Prius forums if you want fuel mileage. These motors are very efficient. I get about 16-17mpg combined driving mildly aggressive with the truck smoking black. I babied it roughly 28 miles at 55mph once and it only took .9gal to fill back up, that’s 31.1mpg... Sent from my iPhone...

    Will Donaldson ELF 7405 fit 7.3 idi?

    What I found on my dana 50 is you would have to remove WAY more than a 2wd so I stopped, went down and got a fl1995. I have 2 elf7405’s I’d give away if you want to come pick them up Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Leaning pickup

    If it has front and rear sway bars with all the bushings in good shape, that broken rear leaf can make the front lean also Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    High oil pressure

    I haven’t done testing to verify but I have seen a lot of guys on here say the factory gauges don’t move accurately. I’ve seen them called glorified dummy lights many times lol. Get you a set of mechanical gauges to know for sure what’s going on with your motor Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    High oil pressure

    I have a mechanical gauge and it will read about 56-58psi when on high idle and really cold out. What temp is it doing that in? I personally wouldn’t worry though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    7.3L idi boots max stock pressure

    I blew my head gaskets at 5psi. Put some block sealer in there and now I can peg my boost gauge Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    On to some smaller stuff..

    I use a radio transmitter for music off my phone. It plugs into the headphone jack and emits a radio frequency of your choice. Tune the radio to it and you have your music. Runs on 2 AAA batteries, I got rechargeable because it goes through them pretty fast. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Dbl7405 filter install

    I can fully vouch that it will not fit the dana 50 with out completely destroying the crossmember. I started cutting, couldn’t get it to fit, so I went and bought an fl1995. Wish I had never started cutting now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    BW1356 transfer case oil change

    When I did mine I found a lot of people saying to use ONLY synthetic. Couldn’t find a lot of solid evidence on synchromesh or stuff like redline mtl. And then there were the guys saying they’d ran motor or gear oil for a bazillion miles with no issues lol. My 2 zf5’s, 2 bw1356’s, and m5od has...

    Parting out: 1986 CC dually 4x2

    And it’s a 4 speed?!?! How much to ship whole truck to 46171? Lol but seriously, it’s sad to see state laws pushing someone to want to part out a truck like that. I hope someone closer to you can save the whole thing Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Robs wvo & wmo plans

    I have mixed in 1 gallon of wvo with about 20 gallons of wmo, didn’t know any better. Should I pitch it all? Also, can idi’s run say 50/50 diesel/ wmo with out a fuge, only filtering? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    subwoofer for 1991 ford f250 regular cab.

    I had this in my old jeep Comanche (1/4ton truck) and it sounded great. Holds a single 10 and I think I only had to give up one notch sliding the seat forward. If you’re headed up to Indiana for any reason I’d probably let it go for the cost of bullshitting about idi’s for a while. Ok, and maybe...

    Robs wvo & wmo plans

    I’ve been saving wmo and wvo for a while now and I’ve been doing some reading but still a little lost. Just from this thread I didn’t know you couldn’t mix the 2 or that viscosities could damage injectors? If you don’t mind, could you elaborate on that? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    HE351VE Remote Mount Turbo

    I personally love my old trucks. I can’t stand looking under the hood of all this new crap. My 83 does everything I want it to do, it’s cheap and easy to work on, and it just makes me smile. Half the time when I’m walking in to a store I turn around look at my truck and think “damn that’s sexy”...

    Did he say how much they would be after the jig and first one was built? I’m sure we could all come together to get this going, I would be willing to pitch in even though I’m not rich lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
