    ZF6 input seal and pilot bearing

    Wanting to change the input seal on a high mileage 1999 ZF6, while I have it out. Any tricks to it? Never done one on a ZF6 before. And what's the latest on pilot bearing upgrades? Is there a go-to pilot bearing upgrade out there?

    Driveline Park Brake

    Anyone on here have any experience mounting/fabbing/custom installing a driveshaft parking brake on superduty F450/F550 4x4 applications? Dana 135 diffs in my case. The factory hub style park brakes are a joke and i'd like to upgrade to something much more robust and trust worthy. Any...

    Head gasket failure pics.

    Had a head gasket failure as shown in one of the pics, in the bottom front corner of the passenger side head on a studded 6.9. Turboed pushing max 10psi. They were Felpro gaskets, installed a few months ago, maybe 5000miles max. Not sure really what caused the failure, but anyways I have to...

    Reusing ARP head studs

    Have to pull the heads on a fresh build 6.9 to address a head gasket sealing problem. It has a fresh set of ARP studs in it. About 400miles on the engine. Is it safe to re-use the studs? Thanks

    What's this in the oil pan?

    Found in the bottom of the oil pan while doing an oil change. 92 E350, N/A, runs good. No noises. Lifter parts? The mech fuel pump has been deleted and blocked off, so not from that.

    Hybrid factory turbo collector to Banks turbo, ideas please.

    I'm messing with a project with a Banks 1st gen turbo and I am trying to eliminate the ridiculously long and inefficient Banks up pipes (which needed to get redone anyways). I am wanting to use an exhaust Y collector from a factory turbo kit, and fabricate a nice short up-pipe to the Banks...

    Installing engine and trans together.

    I've pulled and installed many idi engines. Curious about pulling/installing them with the ZF5 attached? I have lots of lifting power/reach and means of support. Im doing an install of both engine and trans in the bush soon without means of a decent jack or decent ground to work on. The...

    Where's everyone at?

    The PSD section of Oilburners seems to have died off these days. Where has everyone gone to for PSD forums?

    C1145 RF Wheel speed sensor code

    1999 F550 4x4. So im getting an ABS light on (I couldn't care less about ABS but for inspection purposes the light has to cycle within spec/not be on) and a code C1145. Both front wheel sensors along with the hub assemblies have been replaced, no change. I replaced the plug on the harness...

    Coolant heated fuel filter header, coolant flow questions

    Outfitting a truck currently, that is going to move to Alaska and the fella burns a veg oil/bio blend and wants a coolant heated fuel filter header. What would be the best place to tap into the cooling system for the best flow/least disruption to the cooling system. Im not a bio diesel guy, and...

    Extended range, midship fuel tank options

    Has anyone installed an extended range midship fuel tank such as this one? https://zips.com/parts-detail/transfer-flow-midship-diesel-tank-34-gal-080-01-11001 I need to add fuel capacity to a wrecker chassis, with no option of a behind the axle tank as the wrecker wheel lift is in the way...

    DT-466C exhaust brake

    Does anyone have an exhaust brake on a C model DT466? Pre 1990-ish. They have a max rated back pressure of 32psi, due to the valve springs. Curious if it's even worth it to install an ex brake with such low allowable back pressure, where other engines have allowable back pressure of 45+ psi.

    Powermaster starter "specialty" install tool

    For those that run the Powermaster 9051 in their PSD's, you know the challenge of trying to access the top mounting bolt with a socket/extention/wrench/universal etc. I find that a wrench bent like this one, works really nice when reaching in from the wheel well, to access that top bolt. I...

    E4OD, part found on the bottom of the pan. What is it?

    1992 7.3 F450. Every gear position on the column shifter, except P, results in forward motion of the truck. Park holds the truck, RND21 ALL go forward. Trans shifts thru the gears as it should when left in D. I had assumed a seized, broken or somehow messed up forward drum/clutch unit, if...

    Riffraff Up pipes

    It's been a while since I have bought up pipes. I recall hearing about Riffraff being out of stock on SD 7.3 up pipe kits a while back and it seems to be the case on their website. Does anyone know the estimated wait time or if they actually are still selling them? If not, where's everyone...

    6.9 intake valve question

    Had an 85 6.9 develop a sudden and consistent, rpm dependent intake "chuff". The same chuffing that's usually related to a sticking lifter or a bad guide. Since it was consistent and didn't go away like a sticking lifter chuff often does, I figured that it would likely be a broken rocker or...

    Fuel pressure regulator suggestions.

    What are the current recommendations for a decent fuel pressure regulator? Currently running a couple e-pumps that are delivering 6-9psi. Would like to regulate down to 6 max. I don't need a gauge or anything on the reg as I already run pressure gauges in the cabs, just looking for a...

    Bought a WVO Designs Extreme Raw Power centrifuge today. Going to use it mainly for spinning WMO. I run a 70% diesel to 30% WMO blend. Will report the centrifuge performance results when I have it running. Anyone on here running a WVO Designs centrifuge?

    GB REMANUFACTURING Injector install kits, the caps don't seal. FYI

    Just a word of caution that the GB REMANUFACTURING, part number 7003 Injector install kits (for 6.9l) include caps that do not seal. They are way too loose fitting. I install several return line kits a year and sometimes try new brands that become available in search for the best quality...

    GB Remanufacturing valve cover harneses

    I have only ever used Motorcraft valve cover gaskets and harnesses on powerstrokes, but I recently bought 2 set of GB Remanufacturing 99-03 7.3, new in the box harnesses at an estate sale of a Ford mechanic, for next to nothing. Any horror stories with GB Remanufacturing? I might give them a shot.

    Source for Motorcraft TPS sensor?

    It seems as if the TPS sensors are getting harder to find, especially the sensor alone without the entire pedal assembly. Does anyone have a source for Motorcraft sensors? The dealer can't even get them here without buying the entire pedal assembly, and that ain't cheap. $760Cad.
