    Trust machine shop and buy new heads or hold out for a second opinion??

    You van guys have my utmost respect. I really like vans, right up to but not including working on one :eek:

    HELP!!!!!!!!

    One other thing you could consider, even if you end up going through the dipstick tube, is having your truck someplace where you have access to compressed air and a welder. Plenty of folks have cut a hold in the pan and welded it back up rather than pulling the engine to remove the pan. You...

    overflow tank

    Post a pick of the crack/damage on your current tank. My wife has shown me some stuff that was glued with some of the new hybrid epoxy's that I thought couldn't be glued. New adhesives are pretty remarkable, and worst case: it will just leak :joker: If it was good enough to pull a train, it...

    Project Queso

    I don't know how much time or dollars you have in cerakoting, but the final assembly looks pretty dandy.

    1990 7.3 idi stalling under load

    If it was me, I’d change the fuel filter right now and carefully cut open the old one and see if/what it’s full of. On a newer OBS truck the fuel filter light would tell you if your filter is plugging, but I don’t know the brick nose trucks of your vintage very well. You could also think about...

    What do you think about this deal?

    That's a really good looking truck with a lot of nice custom touches. Somebody definitely cared about that truck to put all those extras and a brand new engine into it. The posting doesn't say whether it's normally aspirated or turbo'd. If it's not boosted I believe you will have a really...

    Anybody need the under valve cover injector/glow plug harness for an OBS PSD? (twin plug UVCH)

    I upgraded my harness to the Super Duty parts, the front side was pretty cooked but the rear was fine. I'm happy to give this to anybody who needs it as I just hate throwing perfectly good stuff away. Again, I think this is a 1995 to 1997 only part as they changed to single pigtail on the SDs.

    GB Remanufacturing valve cover harneses

    I can't say anything about GB, but I recently tried to buy OEM ones but they were backordered, so I purchased a set of Mahle UVCH/gaskets as my past experience with Mahle is they make good stuff. I was really pleased with the parts when they showed up: Made in the USA and copper contacts on...

    Drive train experts...please step inside!

    Input shaft or bearing on the trans? Here's another thought: have you checked the big bolt that holds your pinion gear in place? I would take your truck to a trans/driveline place and have them take a look. The guys who know that stuff really can find a bad u joint or driveline related...

    1992 crew cab dually, zf5 and banks turbo

    Good job: that looks like a great rust free truck that just needs cosmetics. Good for you for peddling it to somebody here on OB.

    Need help finding part

    If you want to pick one up locally, looks like Oreilly's and Napa both stock this one. For what it's worth, I've run both the shock absorber as well as the closed spring version. I think both tensioners are pretty crummy as I had both grenade on my IDI. My theory is the diesel vibration is...

    2003 7.3 power stroke shuts off after 15 minutes

    Body lift.

    Look at Performance Accessories. You don't lower the radiator, you just trim the fan shroud on the bottom for fan clearance. The bricknose guys should chime in here, but I know on a 92-97 you have to go 2" and clearance the firewall just a bit. 3" make massive interference between exhaust...

    Remans.

    As a general rule, I don't endorse machine shops. As a former machinist I think it's a little unfair, as I expect it to be better than I could do it myself. I'm going to tell you that after seeing a block that Justin at R&D decked on 7.3 IDI block, the finish was incredibly high quality. I've...

    2003 7.3 power stroke shuts off after 15 minutes

    +1 on what greenskeeper is suggesting. You really need to have Forscan or Autoenginuity plugged in and monitoring when it stops to see what's happening when it shuts off. I will also tell you that I had something very similar happening on my 95 PSD and it turned out to be the ignition switch...

    i am in need of some much needed direction.

    Is that last pic a super single? If so: you just cranked it up a notch..... :popcorn:popcorn

    Stick to the damn topic when posting

    Scott, vote yourself a raise. IMNSHO: You do a great job of moderating. You give everything enough leash to run around, but as you see things going from a little messy to genuinely over the line/personal, you drop the hammer. I can't help but make the comparison between your rules and...

    Odd braking

    Pull the check valve out and inspect it to see if it still “checks”. It’s free to do and it might tell you something.

    Hvac help!!

    +1 on what chillman said above. If it was me,I’d pull the resistor out of the firewall and inspect it, because it’s free and it’s not that time consuming.

    How can I tell if I have a dually rear end

    FYI: Sounds like the dually axle is definitely wider. If you trust that a 1995 dually rear axle is the same as the era you are searching for, I'll be happy to measure mine and report back what I get for measurements, but I don't have a SRW to compare to it...

    Factory Ford E-Locker in OBS Sterling 10.25

    2011 and newer Superduty’s have an option for the electric locker. Here’s a link for somebody putting one in a 10.5, just trying to get a little more insight from the 10.25 crowd. i know there was a short pinion 10.25 early on, but I’m pretty sure that my 1995 should be the long pinion...

    ZF5 Single or Dual Mass Flywheel?

    I've had both DMF and SMF in my old red and white truck. IMHO, the rollover noise is a small nuisance. Having a DMF come apart can lunch the transmission. Get your truck timed right, and turn up the idle a little bit and the rollover noise will quiet substantially. I would never go back to a...

    Factory Ford E-Locker in OBS Sterling 10.25

    Any of you guys on here done this yet? I've got the rear tank out of my truck, I want to put a limited slip in it and it sounds like the factory ford Elocker might be the best way to go in a dually. Been a while since I set up a ring and pinion, just wondering if there's anything I need to pay...
