    86, block heater question ,,

    5 + years ago when I was doing my Oil Cooler puking oil into the cooling system flush. I removed the 2 drain Plugs on each side to drain the block. They are Brass Plugs, and came right out w/o any trouble. As I remember a 9/16" Socket removes them. I used one of those Cement Mixing pans from...

    86, block heater question ,,

    5 yrs ago when I was flushing the Oil out of the cooling system from the Oil Cooler fiasco, I noticed my Block heater was wet and green around it. Removed it, and it was the Rubber "O" Ring that was at the end of it`s life. I did replace it with a new one, but probably the "O" Ring could just...

    Trailered home a 1989 F350 dump truck that looks great on the outside, but the 7.3 IDI is something else

    It`s all looking good, coming together for you. When I did my Oil Cooler gave me the excuse to buy the same press you have. One end popped right together, the other end had to fiddle with it several times to keep it square. I used Syl-Glyde to lube up the Rings. That heater/Blower assembly...

    30 degree cold start (opinions wanted)

    Well I don`t know what the gap is, is what ever Ford put it to at the factory, don`t think the engine has been over hauled. I know the pump I took off was a remanufactured one. I put around 160K miles on it after we bought it. Have no idea how many were on it before. With 362K miles now...

    NEED HELP SHOULD I BUY ? TURBO QUESTIONS

    Looks like a ZF-5 spd and a Transfer case laying there. What front axle would it have? If you are looking for a used Turbo set up, check the impellers inside the Turbo for wear and up n down play on the shaft. If they have been hitting housing = Bad. needs a rebuild or keep looking. Goat

    LMC Truck (parts)

    I don`t think I have ever used LMC. Buy some stuff from Bronco Grave Yard and the Carpet from Rock Auto fit pretty good. Rock Harvey, don`t think the after market Door Seals are made right or too stiff of rubber. My doors would not suck in flush with the cab, would stick out. ordered 2 sets...

    Rebuilding ZF5, looking for preload shims

    The T-19 does not bolt to anything, I drops straight into the Transmission. There is a Bell shaped piece that slips over the shift lever and screws onto the top of the transmission tower. Painting your Transmission yellow, makes it easier to see if you have a leak. I painted my Oil Cooler John...

    30 degree cold start (opinions wanted)

    Timing might have something to do with starting. I installed the new IP, Injectors, Glow Plugs last July/Aug. Old pump (UKN miles) the engine would start almost instantly, rev or 2. Could sit all day and never need to hit the Gp`s. (manual switch) summer time or something over 50 deg. In the...

    Wix Fuel Filter and ATF

    I have always filled my filter with ATF, even used Marvel Mystery oil, just what I had on hand. I never filled them to be a cleaner, just so I don`t insert air into the system, and have to do a lot of cranking on the Starter to fill the Filter etc.... You won`t hurt the injection system. I have...

    7.3 IDI excessive oil usage

    Take the intake off the turbo and feel the up and down and side play on the impellers/Shaft. If the bearing goes and oil then gets into the Exhaust side, you can get a good fire going on inside it. Blew a Turbo on a Dump Truck hauling a load of hot Asphalt for a paving job. Climbing up a log...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Drier than a pop Corn F art here, looking up the mountains from down here we can see Tahoe. All the snow up on the higher mountains is slowly going away. We don`t go up to Tahoe if we can help it, so don`t know what is left on the kommie fornia side. Few winters back, we were to get 3", but...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Had the muffler replaced today, dropped the truck off at a shop in town. Picked it up just about dark, so will crawl under and see how it looks in the morning. Old one looked to have been under there for at least 38 years. Bottom was rusted out some back in 2014, when we bought her. Was getting...

    Yeah, ya gotta get your $2 worth. Isn`t that what the entry fee covers? They need to weigh me when I go in and leave. I don`t have one of those wire thingy`s on my 86 MC. Goat

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Post 12211 above mentioned the Fuel cap was leaking in the rear tank. Swapped front cap to rear tank. I had replaced the Rubber seal with a new one a while back, so swapped the two seals, and we`ll see if this fixes the leak. Wiped down the mess on the Frame rail the Fill Tube etc... under the...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    That Garage door Weather strip, looks like what has been mentioned in the past to replace the Hood/Cowel seal. I bought 25 ft of it off an online site for a good price. Did the 86 and was going to do the 85. My Bro in Law has a couple trucks and was going to do his too. I was thinking when...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    52 here today, think winter forgot about us. Nights get dang cold here in the high desert. Rabbits and Lizards are going to have to pack their own water next summer. Maybe we are going back into a draught year. Goat

    Worked on the 86 today to change out the other L/R Wheel Cylinder. Did the other side about a month N half back, it was starting to weep a bit, caught it just in time before it got onto the Brake Shoes. Noticed some oil on the rubber splash shield front and rear of the tire. Edge of the...

    Trailered home a 1989 F350 dump truck that looks great on the outside, but the 7.3 IDI is something else

    That is the one for the rear seal for the 6.9/7.3. That is the best price I have seen in a while, and free shipping. Think I paid $38 or something like that. Not something we use everyday, but puts it in the plate at the right level. I would rather have a tool I may not use very often, but...
