    Good online source for cylinder head?

    Justin's work at R&D is pretty top notch. How long can you could live with your truck being down? If I used it to make money, I would run it but stay as far away from the rev limiter as possible. It's a gamble, and know that if you get some interference with that valve and the piston, it will...

    What she worth?

    First and foremost: hang in there, keep your head up and keep looking for solutions. Lots of things possible for able bodied/knowledgeable folks and I think you have those two things covered. Keep in mind the rig you are considering selling is one of the most sought after bricknose trucks...

    DIY left handed ATV throttle

    Nice work JF. The lefty throttles were popular on mountain snowmobiles in the Northwest, particularly for sidehilling. Way to show off your hoarding and fabrication skills ;Sweet

    12V Cummins in lift truck?

    A friend of mine has an opportunity to acquire a 6 cylinder Cummins diesel in a towmotor. It sounds like it got the small individual valve covers and it's tan in color. Anybody over on this side know how to identify what generation Cummins this is (maybe by the injector pump?) and whether or...

    Sudden loss of oil

    Before you give up on your IDI, you might want to try a dose of AutoRX. I've had really good luck with using it in my old red & white truck.

    E4OD Won't move

    Like I said earlier, the resident E4OD expert has now spoken :p

    E4OD Won't move

    I agree it sounds like a torque converter issue. Hopefully it didn't fill your trans with metal, I'd pull the pan and see what's stuck to the magnet. If the pan doesn't show anything terrible maybe just a torque converter will fix you up? Hopefully the resident E4OD expert will chime in with...

    Another terrible loss..

    Very sad news indeed. I feel privileged to have known Russ as I would put him in the truly wonderful people I could call a friend category. Hard to see really good folks leave this world too soon.

    Hello Everyone

    Welcome to OB. Durability and parts cost will be very cheap compared to Cat and Dmax stuff. If yours is stock and normally aspirated it won't win any races but the simplicity and durability will be pretty hard to beat. Ask lots of questions, everybody here is pretty helpful and as a general...

    93 7.3 idk crank no start no smoke from exhaust

    IDI injectors from a company that has no feedback is most likely your issue. I would pull them and start over based on past experience with other injector suppliers. Order a set from RussRepair, lots of folks on this forum who would vouch for him personally. Keep at it, you'll get it running...

    What kind of fitting for injector pump inlet?

    If you want to do this on your own, do yourself a favor and go -5 male ORB to -6 JIC male, then make your turn and hose connection with a corresponding hose fitting with a female swivel nut. Part number should be a 6-5 F5OX-S (I only speak Parker adapters). If you really want to make it easy...

    Charging question

    If the batteries load test OK, I agree with Clb in that there's something going on inside the wire insulation. Good luck, wiring stuff is challenging.

    Bad oil leak at the base of the dipstick tube.

    There's an oring in there, you have a pretty common symptom, pretty well documented. Google search is your friend: there's some fixes out there that require a tool to hold onto the internal piece while you reseal it...

    Trailered home a 1989 F350 dump truck that looks great on the outside, but the 7.3 IDI is something else

    The 10.5 elockers fit the 10.25 sterlings. I believe you have to pay attention to short or long pinion design.

    Trailered home a 1989 F350 dump truck that looks great on the outside, but the 7.3 IDI is something else

    I have heard that the locker duallys do great regarding traction. The electric lockers are now pretty available/cheap if you have a sterling 10.25 axle. I have a set of chains for my dually, wish you were closer as I’d probably give them to you. Good luck whichever way you go.

    No vent on a 70HD?

    Here you go, and FYI you are not the only guy who’s been baffled by this vent design.
  21. lotzagoodstuff

    No vent on a 70HD?

    Look at the brake line tee, I believe the vent is built into that tee. If the hose is missing it’s hard to find and I’ll bet you two drinks it’s clogged and causing your wheel end issues.

    Tires for 1991 F350 DRW - 235/85/16 or ?

    ^ Agree with above on spacers: dont use them on anything with more than 5 lug nuts. I’ve been running the Dynapros on my dually and they are quiet and grip well. I liked BFGs in the past on my 4wd stuff, but they are loud which is what you get with aggressive tread. Best of luck. Picking a...

    1994 Crew Cab F350, 7.3L IDI, Factory Turbo, Front Brakes: remove & replace calipers + rotor / hub assembly

    If it's 4WD F350, pretty sure it's got a Dana 60 in the front. Should only be one option for brakes on a D60 front axle. Others with more expertise will chime in, but I think you'll have more of an issue with finding somebody who stocks the rotors and calipers locally, but I think you'll be OK.

    6.0 intake box

    One thing I was thinking of was the "holiday 50% off at the Pic-n-Pull", where you really might be able to score the battery tray as well as the air box cheaply. I know that most 6.0 PSDs get parted out before they get to the junkyard, but there's a lot of those trucks out there. Either way...
