    Project Le Blanc

    Unfortunately the piling on of issues led to a small block swap.

    blakpete91 88 F-250 IDI Build thread

    Comes down to the application, similar to what Ford did. My single cab bullnose came with a single piece from the factory due to the short wheel base and trans combo. With this particular one, the short length of the rear shaft (43.7”) made for an easier driveline angle with a single piece, so...

    Luk or South Bend?

    I’ve slipped luk clutches with 110s, but not with normal use. I stock southbend 13” clutches here with custom clutch options up to 550hp ratings, hard to beat the luk for the money, the throw out bearings they include could be better though.

    Project Jerry

    Well Jerry’s old engine lives on in a bullnose now, since then we’ve picked up a 200k mile “Centaurus” crew cab dually (for sale if anyone wants it...) that had a bad e40d and a good running idit. Pulled the driveline out and stripped the block to see what were working with... bottom end looks...

    Antarctic IDI Build

    Ambo time! We had some 20* mornings here lately and the poor ambo was struggling, I did a voltage drop test across the driver side to passenger power lead and had almost 5v of drop when cranking so we replaced that lead with 4/0 marine cable and replaced the terminal ends with fresh copper lugs...

    Project WA5MOE 91 F250 4x4 IDIT Build

    I think the keystone rings help a lot, I’ve got three other IDITs here we’re building with similar wear despite the miles.

    blakpete91 88 F-250 IDI Build thread

    More progress, after much deliberation we got the driveshafts setup and built by driveshaft specialists here in sa, 1350 and 1410 joints all around with single piece custom shafts to match the 88 running gear to the superduty axles. Fit like a glove on first install.

    Project WA5MOE 91 F250 4x4 IDIT Build

    Overdo to get this build thread going, this is a project we got from @Mike Linger and @aggiediesel01 earlier this year for an engine build and some upgrades. The truck is a 91 F250 4x4, originally with a na 7.3, 5 speed and D50 front, Mike and Steven earlier this year had the truck repainted and...

    EBAY TURBO BUILD

    The problem with ebay turbos like this are they are not balanced so they will not last very long compared to a quality built turbo. They also use a mixmatch of knock-off chinese parts that you will not be able to purchase individually to rebuild the turbo when it goes, they are pretty much a...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    You guys know they still have horses around? People said they would get rid of them and horse carriages in Henry fords day... sure they are more novelty than practicality, but worse case scenario that’s what becomes of the infernal combustion engines. For practicality, the electric motor tech is...

    E4OD experts please chime in

    The computer is what supplies the codes, so if the tcm were going out you may not get a code even if there are other faults. The new trucks are definitely no fun to work on, but the computer system is drastically improved with diagnosis being much simpler than the antiquated 0BD1 system, once...

    Truck won't start anymore, no fuel out of ip

    Pull the fuel screw cover off and turn the engine over, if the rotor moves then the pump is not seized and the shaft is intact. Next pull the nose cone lock between the two top injection lines off and turn the engine over, there should be high pressure coming from this port if your transfer pump...
