    4.10 to 3.55 Power loss?

    I think I have found complete front and rear ends with 3.55s. Those of you that have swapped out your 4.10s how much of a power loss did you notice? I am tired of the engine running at 3000 RPM on the freeway. On the other hand I don't want to loose too much power going up the mountain passes...

    Bronco 33 gallon tank

    I have heard of guys using the Bronco tank. You won't be ale to keep the spare tire mounted under there if I remember correctly. Seems that the hole size would be fine. Not sure on the Sending unit.

    Injection Pump Life Expectancy?

    Thanks for the advice guys. I am glad to hear they don't go suddenly and leave a person stranded. I think it will have to wait a while. Maybe like Aaklinger I will get close to 200k...

    Injection Pump Life Expectancy?

    Hey guys, Trying to remember what the life expectancy on our injection pumps are. I thought my memory was telling me about 100k? I am currently sitting at 108k and on the original pump. Just started thinking it may be time. I would hate to be out on the road camping this summer and have it...

    Front receiver hitch?

    Anyone have one? Just thinking about one to put a rack into to carry my dirtbike without having to haul my trailer when I have the big ole camper on the back. The bike weighs about 250 and the rack maybe another fifty. Would a hitch on the front have room to bolt up to the fram or? Would the...

    6.9 & 7.3 IP's, interchangeable?

    Not sure on the IP, but are the injectors still Battleship Gray like the engine? If so they are probably original. My Stanadyne replacement injectors are black.

    Oil Pres. Guage Interference?

    I will try changing where I tapped in for power. However my temp guage and pyro are on the same power and working fine. Maybe the oil pres. is more sensitive? The sender is hooked in with the stock sender between the two turbo feed lines. The one line comes up from beind the oil filter...

    Oil Pres. Guage Interference?

    Not like this. It is almost a quick flutter up to about 60 or so psi then back down to where it should be.

    Oil Pres. Guage Interference?

    I finally got my oil pressure and water temp. guages installed. They are the Isspro EV series. My oil pressure guage seems to be picking up some interference from the tach or engine or? When I hit the accelerator it will jump up in sync with the tach then settle back to 15-20 psi where it was...

    Glow Plugs????????????

    Jim, I got the same thing, Wellman's from MFWI. Since I was already comitted to the job I went ahead and installed them. That was in November, so far so good. I actually posted the same thing you just did on the other site. I didn't get much feedback from anyone running them. I think it...

    7.3l GP system?

    Tim, I think I remember the thread about the Constant Duty, weren't they made by LDM? I have seen them show up on ebay, but I am not coming up with any searching this AM. Also FWIW, the SS system on my 87 has been great. Even the crappy autolite and champion that were in there when I...

    Truck with new tires

    I agree, they definately look better than the 235s. They probably help your gearing situation a bit. Is it noticable?

    Oil pressure gauge questions

    Tim, My Electrical guage is going to be read off of the plug down by the oil filter. I haven't decided if I will tee off of my turbo feed line or use the other plug up in front of the filter. I want to keep my factory one working for looks, well okay maybe more fro shits and giggles about how...

    New (to me) Wheels!

    Thanks Frank. I think they are the Outlaw II or a look alike. When I bought the truck there was a canopy on it with the spare and a small side mount tool box in the bed. I actually have a in the bed type camper. Due to clearance reasons the tool box had to come out for the camper to fit...

    New (to me) Wheels!

    Thanks guys! Russ, the balance seemed to be just fine. Nice and smooth on the freeway coming back. Oh and the blinker issue was the flasher unit taking a dump. I love those easy fixes!
