    “The 6.9” project thread

    OK, gotcha. I have thought about changing our the rear axle off a 03 - 05 for the Disk Brakes. Do need to redrill the Hubbs for the 8 on 6.5" bolt pattern if you want to stay with your stock wheels. I bought the template to redrill them, A shop in Sparks, Nv. sells them for about $35. If...

    99% sure it's the booster. Thoughts?

    My experience, when you hear a whoosch under the Dash when pushing on the Brake Peddle, Time to replace the Booster. Another symptom, if you have one good application and push the peddle a 2nd time and not much or nothing there, Could be the Booster., or the Vacuum Pump. That was my last...

    “The 6.9” project thread

    You are going to install the 86 Cab, Bed and front Clip on this 05 Frame? If I remember right Commieornia goes by the Vin# on the Frame. So what year is the truck going to be registered as? I know there is the sticker on the Cab by the Drivers Door with the Vin# also. Goat

    Rock Auto, scam on shipping?

    I usually google (click on Images) what I am looking for, and all the pictures come up. Then poke around to see what is available. Parts Geek will have the part on E-Bay, under their name, listed same price, or a bit cheaper some times. But on E-Bay, no shipping charge. Napa is always higher in...

    Fuel Selector Valve

    Your 86 is like my 86 with the smaller whitish Plug? Had to buy the newer style plug, Forgot about that. Standard S-544 I did cut and splice, but solder`d on Weather Pak connectors. Idea was if I could only find a Po lack FSV with the round pins, I could solder on a Weather Pak connector to it...

    6.9 IDI hard start and idle lope

    When you delete that line, you could cause the next Injector "O" Ring to leak. I cut the hose off at the cap nipple and was going to stick something in the short piece of hose to block it off. By doing that, the next one moved and started to leak. I finally just removed the whole side, replaced...

    Fuel Selector Valve

    Right, the China one (maybe all of them) is a plug and play. Looks like the original Ford one. Don`t know why some one would buy the ****** one, and then need to cut/splice wires, and cut the push on fuel lines, and then splice in rubber hose and clamps. Over on FTE, member "Number Dummy" a...

    Rock Auto, scam on shipping?

    When I order something I expect it to come from the person or business I order it from, not 2 or 3 different places. Like the GP`s I ordered from RA, the ZD-1 that were discontinued and were a killer price....But only had a few not a whole set. So then ordered 8 of the new ZD-28`s. But came...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    You have been fully Baptized into Diesel ownership. Been there, done it. When the next FSV malfunctions and you get frustrated enough, replace the rear 19 gallon tank for a 38, new Sending unit. Then plumb it to the engine and return back to the rear tank. Goat

    Squealing Noise Until Operating Temp

    Harbor Freight has the Solar Battery Chargers that could trickle charge the batteries while the truck set between uses. That could help. I usually change my Batteries every 4 years just before winter hits. Get pretty cold here in Northern Nevada. If I lived along the Calif. coast, I would run...

    Squealing Noise Until Operating Temp

    Why are your Batteries exhausted just starting your engine? Are they tired old Batteries? Ready for retirement? Tired old Starter that takes a while to pick up speed? Why do you need a 150 amp Alternator? Running lots of lights, Boom Box`s etc...? I swapped out my old G1 Alternator for a Power...

    Summit Radiator?

    We bypass the Post Office and go to the UPS Store to ship stuff. People are friendlier. Sometimes there is a line, but it`s moved along fairly fast. Another plus, they remember you. First time I used them was the store in Carson City. I needed to ship a Head off a 78 Mercedes 240D to Dallas...

    Winter idle

    Most accidents are caused backing up. It`s amazing watching how people drive in a parking lot like Costco, Wally World etc... People do not know how to back up, let alone go forward. Seem like the smaller the vehicle, the more difficult it is for them. I have been saying, they should take...
