    This does not look good

    Where is your axle vent hose thing? Awkwardly hanging down by a tire can do weird stuff on the highway in heavy rain.

    Headlights...I cant see diddly squat at night

    LED's in non projector housings won't pass state inspections in most states, in PA they'd force you to put halogens in since factory lights for obs style are reflectors. They also pull people over all of the time for led/hid bulbs in reflector housings. Not sure what OP's state rules are for...

    Headlights...I cant see diddly squat at night

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TM1P3CZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Those with led bulbs in the high and low beam are as bright as new cars led lights, not crazy expensive. Probably out 250 between the lights and getting separate led bulbs. I have them in "Alfred" my...

    A Post I Don't Want To Make

    I had added a quart of marvel mystery oil to the oil when we weren't sure if it was a sticking lifter so if the oil is extra runny that's why fyi, not sure if that got brought up when you guys were here or not. It was definitely ready for a change also. Hopefully that cylinder comes back for...

    clutch slowly seems to fail

    The problem is it's awful working on any of that where it is in the trucks. Even if you get the large nut off the top part of the pedal arm, it's pressed into the pedal with little burrs that dig in as it goes in so it can't pivot. I tried rigging mine when it started to depress the clutch only...

    clutch slowly seems to fail

    Rod to the master cylinder doesn't look centered. I'd say that is egg shaped and it's wallowed out the metal on the pedal. I had this happen in my 90 F350 and had to put a new pedal assembly in.

    Headlight focus

    I've gotten 9004 / 9007 bulbs before where the filaments of the bulbs were wrong. Take out a bulb and compare to an old one if you kept them. 9004's are horizontal, 9007's have vertical filaments. I think somehow you can put them in upside down also (the bulb holder) which will make the beam all...

    A Post I Don't Want To Make

    Yeah it poured for a good 3 days in a row before I started it. You can see in the last video the cowl seal is bent up in the middle of the hood, not sure if the custom hood messed up that. It's also an aftermarket cowl seal, the on that was on the truck when I got it was brittle and cracked. I...

    clutch slowly seems to fail

    T18's first isn't synchronized, which would explain a lot of things since your symptoms indicate a clutch that is engaged even when you have the pedal pushed down. I'd say your pedal isn't fully depressing either from a bent rod or bent firewall or tired bushings in that area.

    85 6.9 4x4 T19 Bad Engine

    1500 without pump and injectors on the bad engine 2000 if you want them too? I'd rather sell it to someone on here than fight with fb and craigslist.

    AC Condenser as Trans Cooler

    I swear it had obvious looking tubes like second one in from the left in that picture, I'll have to double check when I get home.

    AC Condenser as Trans Cooler

    I've seen this done on several vehicles online, just wondering if anyone here has ever done this or heard of it. Not IDI specific in that I'm looking to add a trans cooler to my gasser that has an E4OD but only the radiator plummed cooler, on a 90+ degree day driving in hills I can tell my trans...

    At 13 seconds that's all air going.. somewhere in that piston. I swear it's back out the intake.

    85 6.9 4x4 T19 Bad Engine

    It's time I get this out of my driveway. Supposedly 145k on the engine / truck, #8 will only make 250 pounds of compression and it has a miss / clank noise. I have the valve covers off, and the rocker and push rods out of #8 while I was investigating the issue. Glow plugs are out also to do...

    Air stuck in heater core

    I believe I got it figured out now, I ended up pulling the core to make sure it was good and flushed it out, then filled it with distilled water and put it back in and filled the two hoses up with antifreeze while holding them up in the air, haven't heard the noise since. Stupid overflow was...

    92 Factory Stereo Removal

    Yeah I ended up getting it prying the corners with a screwdriver. Now the new question, does a 92 have any under dash wire that would trigger only in reverse? I didn't even realize this head unit came with a backup camera, and I have it hooked up but have to turn it on with a toggle switch. I...

    92 Factory Stereo Removal

    I'm going to destroy my dash in a minute. Factory stereo won't come out of my 92, nothing works on it anyways most of the time. It has the 4 holes on it to release it, left side I can release every time. Passenger side holes do nothing. How do I get this out of here without destroying the dash?

    "Good" 92-97 Headlights

    My new 92 has the usual garbage headlight output of factory lights of this era. My two brick noses Iegit cut the headlights apart to mount projector style bixenon / led 4x6's inside the usual mount because there was no aftermarket support at the time. This model year however has stuff on Amazon...

    Air stuck in heater core

    Lol I thought I had it today, once I let it cool off on level ground it still did it yet it will stop once I drive it for a couple minutes. The sound almost sounds like the inlet of the heater core is clogged and it's getting fired into the core like a narrower jet then a full flow.

    Air stuck in heater core

    I made the mistake of getting some air in the system taking the radiator cap off a wee bit hot the other night, now when I go down hill for a bit I have air traveling to my heater core and sounding like someone is running water when I accelerate for 3 seconds until the air moves on. I've tried...

    A Post I Don't Want To Make

    I tried this with no rocker arms, I can't hear air going anywhere when blowing it through the glow plug holes. Pulled both pushrods and they're clean and straight. I spun the engine over this way but I guess if the piston can't pull air in through the intake it's not going to build much on a...

    Cannot have a single good day

    Just got the same thing off amazon. Things seem fine now. I think my biggest disgust with the other truck scenario is just not having any of the tools to pull it. I don't want to spend money on an engine hoist and dig super far into something only to by a miracle get the engine out and find...

    Cannot have a single good day

    I'm just disappointed in the time frame of everything. Just get done fixing things up on the 6.9 [long list of things] just to throw a rod for seemingly no reason. Not like I turned up the fuel and beat the egts with it or anything, I'm fine with stuff breaking its just disappointing when it's...
