    2KW Block Heater?

    Yeah, the BH is 1000W, is on the Passenger side next to the Starter. It will for sure warm the engine for quick starts from the coldest of nights. They do not heat the engine oil, just the Coolant. Price has gone up a bit, paid $50 for the last one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/160697330480 Here...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    The 86 has been starting great the past 5 years with the ZD-1 plugs. Been noticing past month or more she didn`t have the same old zip starting cold. Yesterday she had a dead hole and shook pretty good, gave her another glow with the toggle, and gave the other cylinders more heat and the dead...

    New age headlights

    PNP= Pick N Pull wrecking yard. Seal beams were $5 then went to $6, was great on 50% off sales. Now they have Composite Light assemblies, and Seal Beams have sort of gone under that price range. Cheaper to go to O`Reallies for lights now, but I do have my stash. Found a couple YT Vids on the...

    Help! Vehicle Dies.

    When it stalls out, pour cool water over the head of the Injection Pump. If it starts back up, then yeah probably need to replace pump. There are 2 electrical plugs on top of the IP. One to the front is the fuel solenoid that turns the fuel on and off. With the ignition turned on, remove the...

    Finally gonna rebuild my ZF-5!

    I pulled a Peddle Bracket assy. out of a Bull nose for my 86 several years ago. Bought the new Bushings from the local Ford Dealer. Wern`t all that pricy as I remember. Took it apart, wire wheeled all the c rap off it, made it pretty and shot some paint on it. It`s easy to disassemble it and R&R...

    6.9 IDI hard start and idle lope

    There was a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) quite a few years ago about the problem. I removed the return line from the Filter to the first Injector. Have never had a problem eliminating it. Did that quite a few years ago. Never spray ether and use Glow Plugs at the same time. Big NO NO. A...

    Another terrible loss..

    It`s sad to read of the loss of one of our Forum members, even long time members that have been on the Forum many years, decide to sell their IDI and move on to other things. All their knowledge to share is suddenly gone. The biggest loss is to their family, Wife, Kids, Grand Children etc.. a...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Just find a rear axle out of a 03, 04 etc... that has the Disk brakes, just redrill the Hubs to 8 on 6.5, and you have the whole shebang. DugBoy66 looks good, you will stop better for sure, and not have to worry about Brake Adjustments. I think it is the F-450 that has the Drive Line Parking...

    Yep, ya got us off the sand bar and back to smooth sailing. I have not read about reaming out the GP holes on these IDI engines. Carbon from the combustion gases can pack up around the GP. Noticed this couple months back when I tore into the top of the engine replacing the Hyd lifters, Push...
