    New Purchase 90 F350. Need Advice

    Hey everyone. The wheel base is 137. I found a 137 cab and chassis frame in a local salvage yard but unfortunately the part that sits under the cab is almost as bad as mine from being sunk in the ground for probably over a decade. Terrible shame seeing as it was identical. 137wb and 4wd. There...

    First time welding cast iron

    Hello all. A few pics of my first rodeo with cast iron. It's the 093 ATS downpipe slip joint housing, the bigger 3" version. I positively loathe the slip joint idea I cannot believe that anyone thought this was a good idea. Stopped at a welding shop and told them I wanted to melt mild steel and...

    Please educate me on V Bands

    I want to install a v-band clamp connection on the 3" downpipe for my 093 ATS turbo. I don't know what to order. The only ones I have played with were on a dt466 and a 4 cylinder john deere diesel. Both of those had 2 flanges that touched each other then you put the v clamp around them and...

    New Purchase 90 F350. Need Advice

    S*** sorry didn't have my coffee yet. Cab and Chassis. CC threw me off. I have stretched and shortened quite a few frames over the years, but all behind the rear axle. Never in the dead center of the truck. Really sucks guys. Sent from my LG-H810 using Tapatalk

    New Purchase 90 F350. Need Advice

    Crew cab frame. The poly tank was for liquid calcium carbonate aka liquid rot my truck that was pumped to sprayer heads on the salt spreader on the back ( spreader not in the picture fyi ). Unless the tank leaked I still can't see why it's rotted so bad. I will measure wheel base tonight and...

    Maxed stock pump longevity?

    Hello everyone. I can't keep draggin my feet on buying a injection pump but my turbo 6.9 is not going to be done anytime soon. If I purchase a new stock pump from CDI to use on my NA 7.3, can I expect a long happy life if I turn it all the way up when the turbo engine is done? I didn't want to...

    Glow plug controller relocation

    Ok, I ordered that kit. Looks really nice and the connectors fit TIGHT to the bullets. Now, what your saying is you cut off this factory end plug and you ran one thick gauge wire through the loom and soldered it to each individual smaller wire correct? So completely remove the wire from the loom...

    Displacement vs Turbo charging

    It's a 8.3. [emoji50] Now I'm really thinking about it! I still like the DT line better personally but I have no experience with a 8.3. Sent from my LG-H810 using Tapatalk

    Displacement vs Turbo charging

    Hello all. I suppose I could also state this thread as "Upgrade or setback" My international 4700 with a DT466E and 6 speed manual has a 25,500 GVWR. It's a little light for what I would like to have (or should have bought). I just found a Freightliner FL70 with a 33,000 GVWR with a 98 5.9...

    Time for the clear line test?

    Will do! Truck has sat for 3 days so it should be a good test if air is leaking in. Sent from my LG-H810 using Tapatalk

    Time for the clear line test?

    Cold, it starts then dies IF you dont put your foot heavily into it. I absolutely loathe revving a cold engine even in the heart of summer so it's a delicate balance of keeping her lit but not screaming. Usually half throttle "pumps" until it smoothes out. If you don't throttle it, it will light...

    Time for the clear line test?

    Negative. Oil does not smell like fuel. Lift pump one year old. I will begin the clear line test asap. Thank you for the reply. ****NEW THOUGHT**** This is a 89 F350 cab and chassis truck ( dump ). The rear plastic fuel tank is ready to fall out on the road due to the previous owner using it...

    Time for the clear line test?

    Hello all. 3 years later, still starting the 89 7.3 with ether. If you don't put your foot on the throttle, it will stall. Glow plug system works good, new controller ( disabled ) and new Beru ZD9. New stage 1 R&D injectors with new o-rings, new return lines caps and olives, new designed fuel...
