    Back In the Saddle

    Thank you for your reply. the pistons I was looking for actually have the wrist pin .01" higher to lower the compression a little bit, but mostly to make up for taking material off the deck of the block if needed. I have actually been following your build and will hopefully be doing a very...

    Back In the Saddle

    Can someone verify that this is the correct part number for the turbo pistons that are .01 lower in height? it seems to be in the part description, but just want to be sure. http://www.opticatonline.com/part/mahle-original-224-3512ha-engine-piston#engine:3500

    Back In the Saddle

    I am in the very beginning stages of planning for a refresh/rebuild on my turbo IDI from my old truck. plan is type4 cam, one of the moose pumps, fresh injectors, head studs, a full reseal and whatever else we find when it is torn down. Now my question. worse case scenario, it needs new...

    Colorado isn't much better than CA these days. All the liberals moved out there and promptly started changing the state into CA 2.0. The idiots ruined one state left and are doing the same thing to another. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Strange Issue and question

    California is an amazing state. Beautiful and rich in resources, it is just the liberal idiots in the bay area and Los Angels have ruined the state for everyone. They have destroyed our freedoms and taxed us to death. Most of the clean air stuff I actually agree with in theory, but then...

    Actually. You don't need to have 90 posts to see his thread because he is a vendor. The 90 post restriction is only for the personal classifieds. I know the OBS conversions are really nice. Never seen the brick nose ones and like IDIoit said he wasn't thrilled with it. Maybe things have gotten...

    Strange Issue and question

    ok well supermotors is not working right now, so pictures will have to wait. From my reading it seems that the actuator, part number F2DZ3E723A is the most likely culprit. It could also be the lower actuator, part number F0DZ3E715A. I need to take apart the steering column to find out, and am...

    Strange Issue and question

    ok so after further investigation the actual switch seems to be working fine. It seems that the slider the connects the key cylinder to the switch is broken. the key will push it forward, but will not pull it back. so the slider gets stuck in the forward position and allows the key to turn...

    Strange Issue and question

I cannot turn the truck off with the key, but i can start it.:eek: I can freely turn the key all the way from just the accessories on to the point where it cranks the starter with no resistance and nothing changes. If i go...

    Mine is an 89 250. Extended cab. C6. 460 4x4 long bed. With an egg under my foot and never going over 65 I can barely crack 11 mpg with 90% freeway driving.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    On really old stuck hoses I use a knife and slice it lengthwise along the neck. Can't use it again, but comes off nice and easy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hood Stuck Closed

    Haven't had time to do much searching, and I am running out the door so I thought i would just throw this up. We have a hood on a '94 F-250 that is stuck closed. You can pull on the release and nothing happens the actual plastic handle moves, but it does not release the hood. Any tricks for...

    Vacuum pump output

    So I think my vacuum pump went out. yesterday coming home from work, my brake pedal became rock hard. pushing as hard as I could against the pedal really did nothing to slow the truck. even going slow enough to not register on the speedo it takes me 20 ft to stop with me pushing for all I'm...

    DT360 into 1991 F350

    Thanks for the info guys. That makes sense. I will be watching how this goes and how happy you are with this. I have been thinking of using one of these engines in a project I have in mind, but it won't happen for a couple more years. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    DT360 into 1991 F350

    Does the 360 have less cooling requirements than the 7.3 in the same truck under the same conditions? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
