    Picked up my E99 zf6

    So........ Yesterday I was coming home with a flatbed trailer, and coming through town there is a really steep hill with a tight turn up top. I'm cruising along up like usual,15mph, and smack dab at the top, there's a pete 379 flying (had to be doing at least 40), in my lane not slowing down at...

    Bullnose front Recovery Hooks?

    Or....... get an old plow mount use the bottom half of course, clean it up and maybe fancy it up a bit, and Bobs you're uncle.. Just a thought. It worked nice on my 87, it was hidden pretty well considering I reworked the hook points. Rock

    Zf6 synchros

    I assume the clutch hydraulics are original, but not certain. The clutch grabs really low, the pedal is extremely stiff/hard, and it feels like it is not disengaging completely. Getting it in L or R is a chore, and it seems to be worse when hot, which points towards the clutch I guess. It almost...

    Zf6 synchros

    This is kind of a stupid question, but I've always been curious if you could delete synchronizers to have an unsynchronized transmission? Double clutching doesn't help, shifting without the clutch does, so I would rather float the gears if it's not hurting the synchros. Then again, it would be a...

    Engine Swap: DOWNGRADE 7.3L idi to 6.9L idi ???

    From what I understand, if you drill out the 7/16 head bolts to 1/2, you won't be able to completely drill out the old threads to make new clean ones, since the jump in size is only 1/16. Rock

    Worth patching this frame?

    My 93 CC had terrible frame flex, mostly because I took it off road loaded very often. Everyone thought I bent the frame at some point. As for the hitch, my truck had the exact same setup, notched channel welded on top of the frame. It had been used for years, but just seemed to sketchy if...

    Hey man, sorry the mirrors and turbo sold today unexpectedly. But honestly, I wouldn't have been interested in shipping anyway. Rock

    Advice on engine

    Why not just build a 6.9 in that case? Sleeving all 8 won't be cheap.. Rock

    They have heat and lights. The adapters go outside of the window, so you can still use the vent windows. Rock

    Air intrusion on 1990 7.3L f350 with banks turbo

    The problem I see with the rails, is that the o rings will still go bad, which kind of defeats the purpose of installing it. The brass caps seem like the best way to go if you have the extra cash. It always seems to be a bad cap or o ring, rather than a fuel line anyway. Rock

    Yes sir, should fit right on with the provided adapter plates. Rock

    DIY Glow Plug Harness -> no "wait to start" light

    Sounds like wires crossed on the relay. I've had that happen a few times. I have to ask though, why are you using household distribution blocks like that instead of soldering a harness? Rock

    Crewcab Project

    Good grief, that's a fine looking rig! Imho, that gray is sharp. Not something you see everyday. I'm also a fan of blue. Hard choice, lol. I'll be glad if my 99 looks half that good Rock

    IDI stuff

    I am out of the game for now. Maybe down the road I'll get another IDI for a backup to my psd, but I just can't afford more than 1 rig at the time being. If I do get another IDI, I'll probably leave it stock anyway since it would only be for backup, so would like to sell what I can. Rock

    Air intrusion on 1990 7.3L f350 with banks turbo

    It kind of sounds like that rear passenger side injector/line, has stripped threads and isn't sealing correctly. That would definitely cause a miss like when you loosen an injector line while running, but that shouldn't give you drain back, because it's on the high pressure side. It would...
