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?
Thanks. ZD9 is an idi plug however. The ZD11's in a stroke, are different. The threads of an idi plug will bind when trying to turn them into a powerstroke head (just as to test thread fitment)
Needing to clean up some mangled threads in 1 glow plug hole. Wanting to confirm thread pitch before I attempt to make sure I have it 100% right before I make it worse.
Im getting conflicting info about the threads being 10x1.0 vs 10x1.25
Any insight?
How about the IPR. I recall there are some different part number designations from early to late OBS years.
Is there a reason the 95 IPR wouldn't jive when it's running in a SD truck?
I have a 99 SD with a bad engine. And an excellent runner in a 1995 E350 that I want to swap in. Just to clarify what all I need to change over. Running the SD ECM.
-Injectors and harnesses from the SD swapped onto the 1995 engine.
-Turbo, plenums.
-Mechanical fuel pump delete, for the...
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...
They were pretty common on old OTR semi trucks. Large oil capacity, long drain intervals, many miles, sooty engines. Probably overkill on a small oil capacity engine.
If I were to run one, it would be on an older dirty, sooty engine; certainly not a newer cleaner engine like a PSD for example
Is re-torquing head studs a thing? I re-torque every idi I touch that has bolts still, and never blown a head gasket with them, and they always take quite a bit to achieve spec, so im sold on the idea.. But I've always left the studs alone after they're installed.
That's a good block. Ya the heaters leak after time. Not a big deal to change, when the starter is out of the way. You might get some coolant down your arm, but life goes on
Without looking at the serial number, if you look at the dipstick tube near the block heater area, the casting is slight "raised" and curls around the dipstick tube, on the later thicker castings.
The wix filter does fine.
Always fill the filter with something, of course....but ATF won't do any harm. Filling the filter with ATF, or an additive of choice can potentially help with clearing up some issues like a sticking metering valve, etc.
Go for it. You likely won't notice much of...
Old thread here. But I'm about to attempt an Idi w/ it's ZF, in a 5.4 super duty, base model, manual everything.
If fine with everything mechanical, only thing that concerns me is; will the dash be lit up like a Christmas tree of warning lights? I'd like to keep that part to a minimum to...
I don't bother. It's also harder on the clutch starting off at higher rpms, every time. Proper motrocraft thermostat and some warm up time with the fast idle solenoid does all we could ask for.
