    Does the way this previous owner hooked up the boost gauge work?

    They tapped it into the wastegate line. Yes it would work, but yeah, ugly. I put mine on the port you highlighted blue. Sounds like your gauge is a dud

    Throttle Cable Receiver Connection keeps "Popping Off" of the Injection Pump Arm

    Its better than the aftermarket one I put on my dads crew cab... It gets stuck at 3/4 throttle until you stomp on it. And it is intermittent.

    85 6.9 IDI Will not run

    Ive been watching this thread for a few days... Honestly it sounds like you may have damaged something on the internals of the injection pump by more than tripling the spec of inlet pressure. The dynamic timing of these pumps is controlled by case pressure, it may be that the timing got so...

    Headlamp relay harness update or improvement.

    It is a very common upgrade. I did it to my truck, and plan to do it to my old mans truck when I dive into the wiring. Results were brighter lights since they didn't have to go through any burnt connectors at the headlight switch.

    Throttle Cable Receiver Connection keeps "Popping Off" of the Injection Pump Arm

    Your return spring location is in the correct spot. I wonder if the clip is expanded at all... Does it only fall off when using cruise, or normal throttle on hills as well, like wide open throttle?

    Only accurate if it's NA, mine has plenty of power up to 2800rpm.

    Coolant tank / overflow relocation ideas

    Champion 3 core. They were out of stock of the 4 core at the time. Putting the foam around the shroud made a significant difference.

    Coolant tank / overflow relocation ideas

    I have their turbo and intercooler kit, the reason for the move is because the air filter ends up where the overflow and washer bottle goes.

    Coolant tank / overflow relocation ideas

    I run the CDD one, and it expands the full volume of it, so when cold there's maybe a 1/4" of fluid at the bottom. I made little L brackets and bolted it to the fan shroud on the drivers side. I can take a picture of it this evening if you like. I've had it on there for a few years now.

    Truck running weird

    If you get a psi gauge that you can clip onto the Schrader you can measure lift pump pressure. At idle you want about 4psi, and about 5-6 at wide open throttle. This is what I use for diagnosing. The Schrader measures post filter, if I remember right.

    Truck running weird

    Entirely possible. Fill er up with fresh diesel and some sort of biocide, replace the filter again and go drive er some more. Fuel filter light means theres a vacuum detected at the filter, which means its getting clogged up.

    Source for quality rotors?

    I second this. I prefer local for parts like these, only because I've had new in box drums with hot spots in them and had to warranty them out within a day, having my truck down because of something lucrative like brakes isn't fun. I typically go for power stops or just whatever flavor that Napa...

    Grease for driveshaft slip yoke splines?

    @franklin2 you are 100% correct. To clarify, I use valvoline red hi temp for my wheel bearings and u joints.

    2000 mile trip in 1990 F250 with 2,400 lbs in bed?

    Sounds like you have a good game plan. The frames on these are pretty soft, I was able to drill the mounting holes for mine with a battery Milwaukee just fine. I typically run my bags between 60-70psi, really helps stabilize the load. If you can believe it, newer aluminum frame campers weigh...

    South Bend clutch chatter

    I have used south bends in other cars, I would say the chatter is not normal. Chatter usually indicated a contaminated clutch disc or hot spots in the flywheel. I'd reach out to their customer support and see if they'll warranty it out.

    2000 mile trip in 1990 F250 with 2,400 lbs in bed?

    My in bed camper weighs more than that and I drove it with single rear wheel for years. Add air bags and you'll be fine.

    Bump still available. Price negotiable I'd rather not throw it away but need to clean house.

    Precups now available

    But thats 369 heads! 184 and a half engines! Realistically.. If they build an engine every 2 weeks they'd go through it in a year.

    Grease for driveshaft slip yoke splines?

    Grease is grease. I switched mine out for hi TAC red valvoline when I rebuilt my driveline 30k ago, and use is 90% of the time with camper or towing... Zero issues...

    Precups now available

    0.0025 is pretty small, but I could see how it could possibly cause a leaking head gasket issue, espeially on these high compression ratio high psi engines.

    CDD started selling precups, so thats fun. https://classicdieseldesigns.com/collections/hard-to-find-oem-idi-parts/products/6-9-7-3-idi-prechambers
