    FS crossover pipe

    having just put in Russ's repop crossover pipes, I can definitely say the fitment tolerances are spot on. On top of the fitment, the slip fit is tight enough not to need to clamp the two halves. just let it soot up to seal. I've been running the truck for three hours and there is no soot...

    1991 F-Superduty Fuel Sending unit

    here's a suggestion if you have the room on the frame(which you do) out there in this world, there's an Isuzu NPR missing is tank and brackets. gets rid of many issues except the fueling bill. i retained my oem tanks and added the Isuzu tank (35 gal) for a total of 69 gal of fuel capacity. :D

    Got free truck have a few questions.

    3.55 is a commuting gear. 4.10 is a towing gear. I've never towed with a 3.55 gearing. but with a slushbox, you shouldn't bog down much. I'd say 20 to 30 mph........ but don't hold me to it.

    7.3 idi turbo crank no start no oil pressure. Stranded in vegas.

    1st) make sure the FSS is clicking. it's the terminal closest to you on the driver's side. 2nd) IDI's don't need a HPOP to fire. 5 to 7 psi at idle is what we run on. 3) if the FSS clicks, pour cool not cold water on the injection pump. crank and see if it starts then. 4) if it does start, your...

    What is this part called?

    at least you're in the part of kali where the labor rates are somewhat reasonable. you're going to want to start looking around for an alignment shop that can handle your van. that will be the adventure :O

    What is this part called?

    off the cuff, I'd say a 6-8 hour job with alignment.

    What is this part called?

    unless you have a serious set of tools and a place to spread out the mess, have a shop do it. hint....wheels, rotors, calipers, steering knuckles all have to come off. if you got the cash, do all the tie rods at one time with the ball joints or you are looking at alignment work a second time.

    No tach trains is acting out..

    no sense on doing any other checks fix the tach issue first. that will be your core problem. the ECM is dependant on a clean tach signal. same with the fipl. both must have clean signals.

    Transport/temporary tags help

    in kali, the plates go with the vehicle. as long as you have a valid kali title on a kali purchase, your info filled on the new owner section, and a current insurance policy with the vehicle VIN number clearly printed on it, you can drive a kali plated vehicle to Timbuck3 as far as kali cares...

    Can anyone tell me about this BD Retarder?

    it all boils down to if the mods get notified of not. most often, the "notify" button is mashed before a mod makes it over to read the thread. on the whole, members here don't need any babysitting.
