    1986 Water Separator Electrical Diagram

    Hope this helps, pretty sure the ground wire is the case being bolted to the firewall.

    Thoughts for how to wire this

    You can not put dc into one of those power adapters it won’t do anything (mite warm up though). I use these little things...

    Dana 50 re-gear: missing crush sleeve!

    When your setting up your gear set, don’t use the crush sleeve till the very end, just tighten the old pinion nut just enough that the pinion isn’t loose and turns easy, this will save you a ton of crush sleeves and your arms. Also don’t put in the thin oil baffle till the very end as you may...

    Dana 50 re-gear: missing crush sleeve!

    You have the wrong crush sleeve, should look like this If you tossed the shims your going to have to do a complete gear setup from scratch, you have to do gear setup anyway but if you had the old shims you could use them as a starting reference. Look on line for a good Dana 60 gear setup...

    Fan clutch upgrade...

    I find with the one I’m using is it starts up in whatever state it was in last, so if it was locked up when you start the truck it will be locked for a bit. This doesn’t have your typical Toyota truck fan roar every time you start the truck. The clutch is a little slow reacting till it warms up...

    Fan clutch upgrade...

    If you wanted more control over your cooling this is a good way to go, find a clutch for a good price and get a bushing made up, grab a cheap fan controller and you not be disappointed. You can also add a manual switch for full control. I know at the beginning I was talking about a complex...

    Fan clutch upgrade...

    I didn’t get much of a chance to play with it last summer as I pulled the engine to swap cranks and by the time I got everything back in the weather cooled down. At the moment I just built a very simple comparator circuit (actually 4 of them in one) that reads a ford efi temperature sensor in...

    Am I dead in the water

    I haven’t seen it mentioned yet but isn’t that the same area where the weap hole in the ip housing would dump if the outter oil seal went bad? @Thewespaul

    Project CrewCab

    A few weeks ago I finally had time to put in the 4.5” lift kit I got from the wreckers last year. I had a 2.5” lift block in the front which just killed the caster on this axle, even adjustable bushing couldn’t get it even close to spec as the upper ball joint started to bind at only 1.5degrees...

    Next was fixing the rear door wiring, I really do want to know what ford was thinking when they thought thick stranded wire being bent in half was a good way to wire up the rear doors.... all they need to do was move the hole in the cab up a few inches and use a wire with more smaller strands...

    Project CrewCab

    Next was upgrading the fan clutch, found a electro-viscous fan off of a 6.4L Powerstroke that has the same rotation as the idi, made a conversion bushing and bolted the idi fan blade to it, controlling it is real easy as it just power and ground and that will make it lock up, remove power and it...

    Project CrewCab

    I got an 08 hydroboost unit and mc, I cheated with this one and just swapped the mounting plate and pedal rod from the obs unit. I would have more pictures but I was being stupid and was breaking the big nut free on the hb unit using a wrench while pushing on it and decided to use my rib cage to...

    Project CrewCab

    A few updates I forgot to post from last year. Found a Ford tailgate emblem with camera from a newer truck, the camera puts out standard NTSC video output with the backup lines which can be used on any aftermarket stereo. I made a cardboard template of what needed to be cut out to fit the...

    Dana 50 re-gear: missing crush sleeve!

    I’m 95% sure the gear set you got will fit the older axle, I know the Dana 60 stuff swaps over so the 50 should be fine also, if you have your front diff pulled apart already you can take measurements of the pinion old vs new and the main stuff should line up except where they put the crush sleeve.

    Dana 50 re-gear: missing crush sleeve!

    The 99+ superduty trucks Dana 50 and 60 use crush sleeves. The older Dana 44, 50, 60 and 70 used shims, both work well for your average daily driver though the crush sleeve does sometimes let the pinion nut come loose.

    New engine, no oil pressure please help

    Are you getting any oil pressure from the oil gallery that the turbo is plumbed into? How does the engine sound when it’s running? Valve train noisy as hell?

    New engine, no oil pressure please help

    I think you mean oil regulator valve, the bypass will still have oil pressure just not filtered.

    Wtf is this bracket

    You have one hacked together front end there. The red piece is a drop pivot mount to correct for camber when you lift the front end, you should have another one on the other side of the crossmember. Your truck has the wrong steering linkage on it, that linkage is for a solid axle not a ttb...

    Draining ALL the oil from block, not just the pan?

    The only major part that keeps oil is the oil cooler itself, it gets filled from the top and leaves the top, if you really wanted to get most of the oil out you could turn the oil cooler bundle 180 degrees and it would all drain out when you pull the filter. Only down side to that is the oil...

    Gutless and IP adjustments

    I do have a 0-30 psi gauge I’ll rig up this week and see if the fuel pressure is keeping up or not. This IP doesn’t have a torque screw so that’s not limiting anything there, as for boost I’m not sure yet, plan this week is to hook up the boost and pyro and rig up the fuel pressure gauge before...

    Gutless and IP adjustments

    To start with I know what the problem is, I need a new IP that’s calibrated but I don’t have $1500 for a new one right now so I’m hoping I can tweak the current one I have a bit. A few details: timing is set @8 degrees @2000rpm pulse method, throttle goes to wot so the cable is good, new...

    Glow Plug Solutions from Classic Diesel Designs

    Good question, I’ll let you know when I figured out why I kept them if I can find them haha. Yes I could do 6.5 plugs no problem, there’s nothing super special about the setup I have, could do pretty much any plug that’s out there that’s 12v. If we could use the DI plugs in these trucks I...

    Ya you can but I’m in Canada so shipping maybe high. I may have an autolite and maybe a Bosch plug laying around if I didn’t throw them out, I’ll take a look tonight when I get home.

    Glow Plug Solutions from Classic Diesel Designs

    Finally got my new oscilloscope in, I used the negative wire from the power supply as the current sense resistor which is why I have a ton of noise but it worked, I captured a total of 7 seconds which is when the glowplug was fully orange. The yellow trace is the voltage, you can see at ~8v the...

    Glow Plug Solutions from Classic Diesel Designs

    I’ve been meaning to post this up for sometime now but didn’t know where. I have a meter that reads low resistance accurately to 0.01 ohm, I bought 8 brand new zd9 plugs, at a room temp of around 70-72F they all read 0.25 ohm, this will decrease some the cooler it gets outside. The current...
