    Custom instrument cluster build

    There is an adjustment on the back of the tach that you turn to calibrate it. It’s a tiny allen screw head.

    Great CDD experience

    I had an issue with their steel injection lines, but the company itself is great and I would buy from them again. I still have their decal on my truck if that says anything :)

    1991 F250 diesel 4wd rear axle housing sleeve for inner axle seal on hub

    I think that is part of the original seal, and is supposed to be removed before the new seal can be installed. What Franklin2 is describing is a scottseal, which is what National part #370047A is. You should be able to remove that sleeve and install the new seal and be good to go.

    Custom instrument cluster build

    I sure don’t earn anything lol. I saw that pop up and hoped it was oilburners that got a kickback. That would be nice

    Custom instrument cluster build

    A couple things I forgot to add: - my truck is an 89. Other generations might have different issues with fitment. - I used two 12-pin DT-style connectors to connect the cluster wiring to the truck wiring. - If you buy the same Amazon speedometer and fuel gauge I did, the white backlight is...

    Custom instrument cluster build

    Finally, I put everything back together. The finished product is looking great! I have a few odds and ends to tie up still. I haven’t connected the hose for the fuel pressure gauge, and I bought a voltage meter / USB charging port that I’m going to put where the ash tray is now. I also realized...

    Custom instrument cluster build

    I’ve been kicking around the idea of a custom gauge cluster for a couple years, and I decided recently to go ahead and attempt it. I learned some things along the way, so I thought I’d make a post to help anyone else wanting to tackle this project. My reason for doing this is that the flexible...

    Oil Cooler Rebuild

    Dorman part 904226 is a replacement for the center tube part, but it’s not cheap. I replaced my o-rings when I had the heads off to do head gaskets, and I found the coolant passages almost completely plugged up with sediment/scale. I used a combination of CLR and a cleaning brush for a small...

    Core support fix???

    I’m in the same boat as you with my 89. It’s crazy that nobody makes a replacement core support for a diesel with a/c. I’ve been watching FB marketplace for years, but in the rust belt all the used ones are as bad as mine. What I think I’ll end up doing is getting a core support for a bricknose...

    Egt gauge installed

    I run 550-650 cruising on the Highway, depending on whether I’m on a slight incline or flat stretch of road.

    ZF5 Lubricant

    I used to advocate sticking with ATF in the ZF-5 since that’s what Ford recommends, until I found out that ZF-5 transmissions are actually used in many other vehicles all over the world. They’re in medium duty trucks in Europe, and even in Chevy pickups down in south america! For non-Ford...

    Blown head gasket or cracked head???

    I meant just to buy a used engine off of FB marketplace of you can. I don’t know about your area, but around me there are always a couple for sale for $300-600. They probably won’t be turbo, but you can swap all the turbo stuff over.

    Blown head gasket or cracked head???

    I noticed your current pistons are already .030 oversized, so you’d probably have to sleeve all 8 cylinders if you rebuilt this engine. If I were in your shoes I’d be shopping for a good used engine rather than rebuilding this one. Sorry this happened. It happens to all of us eventually but it...

    I painted my truck one piece at a time

    Do you remember how much material you bought to do it this way? I’d like to do this too, but I imagine I need to plan for more waste doing it in lots of little sections. Looks amazing BTW!

    Hydro boost question

    When I went to hydroboost I bought the PS pump, booster, new master cylinder, and new hoses off of rock auto. I just bought parts for the f-superduty of my same year. The only issue is that you don’t get the pushrod between the booster and the MC, but you can buy that on Amazon as a “universal”...

    Lol please help

    Have you verified that you have 12 volts to the fuel shutoff solenoid on the IP? Can you hear it click? I know you said it had compression, but are you sure all 8 cylinders have enough compression to fire? I would test it before I go any further. Good luck!

    I’ve definitely thought about it!

    stereo installation

    I bought the metra 99-5700 kit for my 89. Here’s the result: I don’t think I could have just installed this stereo in place of the stock one, I think there was a gap around the outside that this kit fills in. I also added sound deadened and replaced all my weatherstrip. Honestly I can still...

    Wobbly Alternator Belt - Cause?

    I’ve kicked around the idea of adding a spring-loaded idler pulley to the alternator belt to stop the wobble. Maybe something that was meant for a lawn mower deck belt can be adapted, or a belt tensioner meant for a serpentine belt can be modified to fit.

    LMC Truck (parts)

    I’ve bought some stuff from them with mixed results. I was not happy with the fitment of their molded carpet, and my doors still don’t close right a year after installing their weatherstrip. I think their body panels, radiator core supports, and trim pieces are good though. Jeff’s bronco...
