    If I could get gauges used but in good condition

    I'd be interested in 2 of everything except boost. Possibly 3 of everything. BUT, only if they are complete with sender/sensors/wiring/lines. I'm not going to spend hours searching for missing parts and paying whatever the sellers want, to complete them. I'd also like to know...

    Truck gun?

    A shotgun to scare off an aggressor? I tried that once. The two illegal dirtbags just laughed. Apparently they had experienced far worse in Mexico. In my area, a shotgun is perceived as slightly more menacing than a squirtgun. They don't think you're serious, they think you're Elmer...

    IGNITION SWITCH BYPASS? BROKEN STEERING COLUMN

    On my 1989 E350 column, the ignition key cylinder has a gear that engages the vertical steering wheel locking post. If you can turn the key, the gear moves the vertical locking post downward and disengages from the locking holes in the steering wheel, even if the pot metal actuator is...

    IGNITION SWITCH BYPASS? BROKEN STEERING COLUMN

    If this is the case, I can offer a few tips and pics. I tore down a ford column to replace that actuator. The chinese replacement part needed a fair amount of filing to make it work. If you're a mechanical kinda guy, it isn't hard. Just take your time and figure out how each part works...

    E4OD problems

    Before you spend any serious money... I had the exact same problem with a 1994 E350 IDI with E4OD. The front seal loosened up from overheating and would puke fluid after long drives on hot days. This occurred right after the vehicle was put back into service, after sitting for 2...

    Looking at another IDI

    Yep, here in New Mexico, if a vehicle has visible rust, it ain't gonna sell, cause there are so many rust free vehicles available. On my 1993/1994 E350 IDIs, you'd have to look really hard, underneath, with a powerful flashlight, to find minor surface rust on the unpainted parts. What...

    This what I'm talking about. Cheap trucks in Fl.

    Would those unpaid tickets or back registration prevent the vehicle from getting a clear title in another state? and would they be erased if someone registered it in another state?

    going to kick a puppy

    This probably isn't much help, unless you can wrangle some long-distance transport... but, a flawless truck cab can be had for around $150 here in New Mexico junkyards. They are getting harder to find, because the salvage yards are crushing trucks with rust-free, dent-free bodies after...

    Better get these,

    I cut and pasted this from my May 2011 thread... "Frank Settles of U-Haul, asked me to send his thanks to all of us Oilburners who have ordered their parts, and been patient while their numerous facilities cope with the huge amount of orders. And, he will give special parts buying...

    Anyone run an IDI 2500 miles/week, for months?

    Thanks for the advice guys, I'm pretty well set on spares and tools. I will add a trans cooler and gauges. My real concern is blowing the engine or transmission. With my Buick, that car went from driving 20 miles per week, to 800+ per week, and from 30-45mph, to almost constant...

    Anyone run an IDI 2500 miles/week, for months?

    I'm looking at taking a contract driving job. Averages 500 miles/day, 2500/week. My vehicle is a 1993 Ford E350 XLT van, 7.3L IDI & E4OD. No turbo. 200,000 miles and very well maintained by Uncle Sammy since new. I once took a similar job in college, and it killed an almost new...

    A special deal from U-Haul to all us Oilburners

    I emailed Frank about the problem. I think he will take care of it pronto, if is at his end. I'd try emailing again. I sometimes get similar messages because I cut & pasted and inadvertently altered the address. ETA: I believe Frank has found the glitch and fixed it. Please try...

    Please do. I have a customer wanting me to build him a centrifuge system, but I am finding too many people experiencing problems with the PA biodiesel parts, to buy from them. Thanks.

    Serpentine belt tensioner...do they wear out?

    Just wondering if I should keep a spare in the van. I've never had one fail on previous vehicles, but have only had the 7.3 IDI for about a year. It does have about 200k miles on it. Your experience?

    new fuel filters.........$5.36 each

    The part number "INF829B" is a Racor number. Cross referencing it on the net shows it to be compatible with lots of years and models. Should be good to go for my 1993 & 1994 7.3 IDIs.
