    clutch bleeding issues *i know its been covered...*

    I use a different approach, and it works every time, first time, no need for even a second person to "pump the clutch". I bleed from the bottom up. Use an old fashioned oil can pump. Fill it with brake fluid, attach a hose to the nozzle end. Slip the other end over the OPEN bleed screw. Take...

    WMO mixes

    Just a couple of thoughts. A set of injectors for a 6.0 will cost you more than a complete pre-computer IDI 7.3 truck. The service history for the 6.0 is full of people with problems. It's a "sensitive engine" by all reports. Messing with the fuel system of a 6.0 to save a couple bucks on...

    Parting out 91 F350 DRW extended cab 7.3 IDI (located near Columbia, MO)

    Coletrain - thanks, I'm a buyer at that price if I can afford the shipping. I'll need your zip code to give a trucking company for location. If you want, send me a PM with details and lets work out how to get you paid and such. I need the brace brackets, front and rear both sides also if you...

    Manually unmounting tires

    What diesel crawler said. A set of semi tire spoons will cost you less than one trip to a tire store to mount/unmount a set of tires and you will always be glad you have them. The angles and curves are "just right" and you won't do damage to the bead mount area on the tires, a pry bar and...

    Manually unmounting tires

    Build yourself a bead breaker first. Take a piece of 2X6 [oak would be great, pine is OK] about 3 ft long, and a 1/4 sheet of 3/4 plywood. Lay the plywood on the ground [if you are doing this in dirt it keeps the rim from eating into the dirt, and the tire from scooting away from the next...

    Ready for baby!!

    Baby check list: 1. Box everything in the house that can be broken and put it in storage for next 18 yrs. 2. Buy two extra deep freezers to store enough food. 3. Take a good look at the inside of that nice truck one last time cause soon it will be covered in "baby stuff" and all the support...

    Electric Fuel Pump: Holy power gain Batman!!

    That is a turbo oil scavange pump by the listing. Should have plenty of staying power. What kind of fuel pressure are you making with it??? Sounds like your old pump was starving the IP and now you are getting enough fuel to make power. How much for the pump, if you don't mind sharing that?

    building f-450 4x4, I have questions

    Go to the parts books on that one. Is it even possible to mount up a 10 lug hub on an 8 lug axle? Where would you get them? The number of 10 lug trucks I've seen are mighty few. I have a F450 , 10 lug 2 wd truck... Based on what I see on the rear axle I'm thinking a 450 front would be way...

    any JP8/JET A burners here?

    Don't know how it might work for you. It's not something you "just walk in" and get done. Since 911 all airports and all maintenance areas are behind high fences and locked gates with key code passes. In my case, I'm both a Commercial Pilot and an Aircraft Mechanic [among other things] and from...

    Doug Nash Overdrive question

    I fully note that the site has undergone a complete makeover. Mine is not the reason why, but to bitch and cry. I miss the old setup, I liked it. All that said, WHERE THE HELL DID THE THANK YOU BUTTON GO???? Now that I have vented. THANKS Warden for posting the entire DN tech manual. I...

    Trying to identify turbo

    Allied Signal merged with and were bought out by Honeywell. Product support at Honeywell should still have parts and support for that unit. The Allied Signal name changed, products remained the same [for the most part]. Cliff Garrett started Air Research way back... that name remained in use...

    any JP8/JET A burners here?

    In aviation, it's required to drain a fuel sample from the bottom of each tank to make sure there is no water . All wing and fuselage tanks have sump drains designed for that purpose. This fuel then must never go back into the airplane and must be disposed of as a Hazmat item by the airport...

    pumping wmo

    Since I've been quoted out of context here a bunch of times guess I better chime in. First, PVC has held up just fine in my application for picking up WMO. Second, I regulate the vacuum to the tank in the "suck" mode to 20 psi vacuum or less. Third, I regulate the pressure to the "blow/push...

    any JP8/JET A burners here?

    A word of caution. Jet A does not have lubricants like No2 diesel. You need to add some or your IP will suffer quick damage. Other than that issue, it's a fine fuel for your diesel truck. Same base stock as schedule 52 fuel [pump diesel] just adjusted to work in the extreme cold of high...

    Does this look healthy?

    If the CDR is gummed up crankcase pressure goes up and blowby goes up causing leaks and oil usage. Put that on your list of things to check or fix. Listening to the video I hear a stumble that sounds to me like a couple injectors laying down on you. They could be streaking instead of spraying...

    another wtf?

    Can't imagine how it would be under the trans for noise. If it was over the top to quiet down the cab, maybe.... Ohhhh well... it runs faster without it.. [I'm sure]..haha My 92 F450 is a 10 lug wheel truck.. btw... if that makes any difference... Looks like your F250/350 is 8 lug.. same...

    another wtf?

    I have one that I took off my 92 F450 1 ton.. it's still laying on the bench if anyone wants it.... I've found the truck can survive without it.... hahaha.. A real pain in the ass to do trans service with one in place,, but you know... it must serve SOME purpose, otherwise why would Ferd have...

    Glove box high tide

    ;Poke;Poke Drill two 1/4 inch holes in bottom of glove box and drive on. Your windshield is leaking. The drain holes will drip on the floor of truck and let you know it's raining outside. ;Sweet :rotflmao Seriously, from my experience, the rust spot you found is likely a small part of the...

    First start of powerful Idi build...

    AAahhhhh hell.. everybody knows exhaust smoke only causes cancer and breathing problem in California.. as soon as you pass the state line it's healthy to breathe. [If you go south, that is] We are all worried about their lung health, but when the hopped up engine grenades it will probably...

    First start of powerful Idi build...

    Pushing the envelope for power and speed only takes cubic dollars and time. Looks like these folks have spent plenty of both. I wish them well... loved the turbo spool on the video... which is about all I could get from it after smoke wiped out the visuals..
