    Proper pushrod length?

    I replaced mine year ago last Aug. with Elgin, think they were like $75, also replaced the Hyd Lifters, as I was replacing Injectors and IP. You mentioned Hydraulic Valve Lifters. They are the same for 83 6.9, all the way up (I think) to the 6.7 Diesels. Some GM cars used them also. I got mine...

    Paint opinions

    Looks good, should be Corn Binder red. Though I did paint the Oil Cooler John Deere yellow when I had it apart a few years back. Idea was I could see if I had any leaks. Goat

    Battle Born Brakes

    03wr250f watched your Video a couple times. Looked up what Silless is, it`s made in the Ukrain, and all out of stock. Guess the war put the kabosh on it being made. I have Kill Mat (Dyna mat) the tar against the FW should make a good seal. To adjust the Booster to MC Rod length, this tool is...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Took the Destudded tires to my tire guy for balance. Tires are older than I thought, 7 yrs old. I was thinking maybe 4, dang time fly,s. They sat in the shop when not in use, and only used when icy/snow, then took them off when dry. So not a lot of use. can`t see driving on dry pavement. Spun...

    Trouble shooting new brake system

    What larger bore MC did you buy? I swapped in a MC for a 89 for my 86 F-250 to get rid of the old Rusty MC Ford used. Then after installing it, the Brakes were so much better. I don`t know the bore size of either MC, or if the bore size of the 89 was larger. I bought it from O`Really`s. Rock...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Got the Studs removed on the 2nd tire, there are 112 Studs. Think it took hour N half to remove them. Just time consuming. Then worked on one of the Bumpers I dragged home from PNP. Layed it across the Wheel barrow with a piece of carpet over to protect the chrome. Lots of dirt/rust, get it a...

    86 F-250 Wiper motor and Switch. Fuse, Circuit Breaker or Fuse able link?

    So far haven`t had the problem of not able to turn the Key Switch. Sounds like it had a ton of wear on it. I had the 86 for over a year before I accidently discovered I could turn the Switch W/O the key. I don`t have the intermitent Wipers, and when light rain, mist thrown up by traffic, have...

    86 F-250 Wiper motor and Switch. Fuse, Circuit Breaker or Fuse able link?

    Thank You for you help. Guess we both learned something about where Circuit Breakers are. On the Wiper Switch, there is the 6 flat pins, and a plastic sort of block. That must be where the Circuit breaker is. Power comes from the Ignition Switch, directly to the Wiper Switch, got me to thinking...

    86 F-250 Wiper motor and Switch. Fuse, Circuit Breaker or Fuse able link?

    Sitting here having first Coffee this morning, and looking at the wiring diagram. The Ignition Switch sends big power directly to the Wiper switch, if Iam looking at this correctly. And the only fuse is the Circuit Breaker in the Wiper Switch. When I had the Wiper Switch removed from the...

    86 F-250 Wiper motor and Switch. Fuse, Circuit Breaker or Fuse able link?

    Thank You franklin2. I have the standard 2 speed on off switch. I don`t see where the Circuit Breaker is in the Switch. When the old Switch came apart, front 1/2 is the rod the knob connects to, that turn the part that licks over the copper nubs for the speeds. The back 1/2 is plastic, must be...

    86 F-250 Wiper motor and Switch. Fuse, Circuit Breaker or Fuse able link?

    I have checked every fuse in the Box with my Ice pick with the light. All good. No where on the Box Lid does it show what Fuse is for the Wipers. Did some searching and one thread mentioned there is a Fusable Link for the Wipers, Another search said a circuit Breaker in the Switch. Once it...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Went to PNP yesterday to pull the peddle assembly off a 81 F-150. Peddles from 80 - 86 are all the same, F-150 to F-350. This one was set up for manual linkage. Only difference is the little lever going to the Clutch MC is longer, just need to change it. $47.79 out the door. see prices on E-Bay...
