    Tow 12,600 with a 6.9 N/A ?

    I have moved a heavier 530CK with a 6800 lb trailer 45 miles including a 6% grade for 6 miles of it. I used a NA 6.9 with a Borg Warner 4 spd (T-19 or T-18, I forget). I was OK on the flats in top gear and 55 mph. On the grade, I got down to second gear and it was comfortable there. I did not...

    86 f350 6.9 cab/chassis

    Is it a manual trans? If so, pulling it to start it would be better than over working the starter. I had one sit for 11 yrs and pull started it in a half mile.

    2010 maxforce 13 fuel prime

    Can you air it up and pull start it. I am not familiar with the Maxx Force (other to know to stay away from them). On my Series 60, a small dose of either will prime it. Key word being small ( < 2 second blast in the air filter). The N-14 was self priming. I don't know about the X-15 or the Cats.

    ZF5 rebuild preferences? DIY, rebuilder, etc.

    I cored mine out with a regional rebuilder. I would not recommend the same regional rebuilder again, but the second trans is OK. The reason I cored mine out is, I wanted "gas" gears in my diesel ZF5. The gas gear pack offer a lower first gear and after I put 3.55 gears in my diffs, I realized...

    IDI and driveline stuff

    Only time I have a chance to get to KS is in the summer and that chance has past. I do have friends south of Wichita area that do visit here twice a year. I don't know if they have a vehicle that can handle this much weight to get the eng to you though.

    IDI and driveline stuff

    Everything is there. the heads, intake & exhaust manifolds are off. I'll have to look, it might be missing the gear and cover where you put the oil in/tach drive. The short block has been exposed to rain/snow and is "stuck".

    My dumba$$

    Story of MY LIFE!! Except my project is still sitting after putting only 40 miles on it after a rebuild! I got so frustrated I went a bought a new set of problems (PSD). I've had the rear diff rebuilt and reverse fixed in the ZF. Just put new injectors in it too. A LOT more costly than the IDI.

    Leaf spring bushings....

    Poly - buy/install once = cry once If you have the time, put the bushings in the freezer for 2 days before install. Also, cooking oil is your friend. I still have bushings for my Western Star in the freezer. Someday I will get around to installing them in my spare dog bone rods. Is this on the...

    What Gear Oil Do You Run in Your Diffs...
