    Clutch Heim Joint Mod and my trained left foot

    I replaced the pin/pivot with a bolt and greased it up. New master cyl. No issues.

    Rear drum brake keeper spring pop off

    I had one instance of those springs letting go on one side of my F350. Fixed it with new hardware and never happened again. My E350 and Dodges have those drum brakes too, yet no similar issue has come up for about 15 years now.

    Core support fix???

    I would say yes. I have saved the same piece from an old diesel support just in case.

    E4OD speed sensor?

    Referring back to post #8, the ring or pinion had shed a tooth and wedged between the tone ring and ring gear. It caused a blip in the signal every revolution and the trans didn't behave as a result. Never know what can happen. It's at least worth pulling the sensor and using it as a view port...

    E4OD speed sensor?

    Check the sensor tone ring too!

    E4OD speed sensor?

    That's may well be the case for an IDI. My '97 was a powerstroke - had no TCM. It had the IDM and a PCM.

    E4OD speed sensor?

    I thought the diff signal fed into the PCM, and then processed/routed for speedo, trans, ABS. This is just my loose recollection from when I had my '97 E350... I was messing around with changing the gauge cluster.

    E4OD speed sensor?

    The E4OD depends on the diff signal being proper to shift properly. I worked at a shop 25 years ago where we changed the trans for acting funny. That fixed nothing. It turned out it was the diff tone ring that was damaged.

    Oil pan differences? Gm 6.5 6.2

    Chevy half tons were available with diesels. I believe there's a change in the rear main seal at a certain year. Could affect the pan.

    Dana 60+ divorced t case?

    Review the link in post #3 if you haven't already. Keeps ride low, and abandons the unstable stock shackle.

    Dana 60+ divorced t case?

    $400 should be able to get you the stronger/newer np205. (73-77?) My Dana like that was $150 I think.

    big block chevy fueling for your IDIT+!!

    I subscribe to it. Haven't had a choice due to finances. Common doesn't mean its sensible or within reach for all.

    Dana 60+ divorced t case?

    The actual problem with the factory front shackle is how Ford built it. They recycled the TTB arrangement, which needs to pivot. With a monobeam (i.e. Dana 60) it doesn't need to pivot. Here's an alternative...

    1992 f250 2wd cab and box on 1994 4wd frame

    Same generation trucks from 92-97. Plug and play. The vin # seen thru the base of the windshield is something you need think about. Needs to match your registration/title. What do you mean by a big cab? Supercab? Crew cab? (Doesn't matter if both the same).

    How Much Are You Towing with Your 1st Gen

    I agree with the sentiment, but that is NOT a hard spec. If it were, it would be stamped on the door-jamb decal along with the gvwr. The highway cops here will check your axle/pin weights against your gvwr, gawr, tire capacities, and hitch rating; if you are licensed/insured for that weight...

    1995 F-250 4x4 frame swap

    My best recollection from my auto-wrecking days is the F250 frame/crossmember difference stems from the gvwr. Above/below 8500#. Say you have a 5.0L or the semi-float rear axle, then it's a low GVWR. The diesel fits the high GVWR frame. I have a spare '94 frame chunk from a diesel if you need...

    1995 F-250 4x4 frame swap

    Shouldn't have to worry too much as 460, diesel, and 351w came in the same frames. Personally, have seen the pickup frames fold up from hard use, so I would look for a cab & chassis frame if you couldn't care less about the pickup bed.

    Show your shop.

    Wished my bylaws allowed that size. Had to settle for this

    Hydroboost Saginaw pump? (a little off topic..)

    Full frame as far as I know.

    Hydroboost Saginaw pump? (a little off topic..)

    Anything is possible i guess. I've had the mc39309 master on my radar for probably 20 years for running a disc brake rear axle, as it fits the otherwise common 'rear drum' hydroboosts. There is a revision to an even larger master piston size (92+? 96+?) but then the stud spacing increases and...

    Hydroboost Saginaw pump? (a little off topic..)

    '94-95 are tough year examples because they made the G30HD with rear disc, tilt nose, and 19.5" wheels. Is that in your FSM too? Also with GM, diesels always got hydroboost. Here is the mc39309's application list. Each of these had rear disc in a specific configuration, except the H1...

    Re'stirring the pot for intercoolers

    So long as you have the square radiator (not the 16:9 movie screen shape) any 99+ Ford or 94+ dodge intercooler should reach around just fine.

    Hydroboost Saginaw pump? (a little off topic..)

    It would not surprise me if that was used on both vac and h-boost; and the listing is wrong. We parted out a lot of 1ton Chevy vans back in my wrecking yard days (church vans and dually cube vans) - all rear drum. None used the MC39309 master... It's an easy one to spot.

    Hydroboost Saginaw pump? (a little off topic..)

    The master you posted for the van with dual bore sizes and dual reservoirs seems van-appropriate. Never seen one of those on a pickup. 1ton C/K series always got hydroboost in my experience, plus diesels, plus some military-spec K20's. Vans are funny because 10-20 series are both 5lug, and the...

    Hydroboost Saginaw pump? (a little off topic..)

    My JB8 braked '91 v3500 (hydroboost, SRW) shows a 1.31" bore. The '93 JB7 master (vacuum) i used was 1.25" bore. The NMC11318 and MC39309 masters are for rear disc - check the other things it fits. I believe the G-van application for them (rear drum) is incorrect. Edit: SRW can be 2.5 or 3.5"...
