    So what did you do with your truck today?

    It’s not a factory part. But any small 3/8 diameter tube transmission cooler should work. I do not have a stock bumper (Ranch Hand Legend series) so the way I have my fuel cooler mounted isn’t an option for most people. There is a thread on here called fuel temp, more info about the why in that...

    Passenger side oil leak

    My advice is to reseal it all while you’ve got it apart.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Well the post I made with pictures says awaiting moderator approval. Anyways my front fuel tank is full of rust and the sending unit is disintegrating. So I ordered new front and rear sending units from Gas Tank Depot. When my front arrives then I’ll tear apart the rear tank even though it...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    That got ugly right off the bat… At least I got my fuel cooler mounted. I’ll run off the rear tank until I get a new sending unit for the front, and then use the clean ‘94 tank shown on the left in the last picture. Anyone have recommendations on the best place to get an 87-91 front tank...

    Diesel radiator size

    There are two different sizes. Was/is your truck equipped with air conditioning? That is the determining factor

    Finally gonna rebuild my ZF-5!

    That in itself isn’t a problem, unless it makes it harder to put the transmission in gear. At least I think. I’ve never had a vehicle that engages the clutch right off the floor, sounds potentially hard on the clutch if you don’t quite get it down all the way. A couple of my friends trucks, a...

    Russ's cams

    Still available. His wife is running the website and still kept agreements with the company who actually makes the cams. Injectors are only thing NLA According to FB

    Good replacement for Holley Black Pump?

    I’ve already deleted the line between the filter and return.

    Good replacement for Holley Black Pump?

    I really don’t know. He said he would make some after he finishes up a couple of engine builds. But he didn’t directly say what he was gonna do. He mentioned something about November. I am also running two tanks, and don’t intend to change that. He makes a kit for 38 gallon single tank...

    Good replacement for Holley Black Pump?

    I am running a Walbro FRB-13. Doesn’t quite flow enough, with maxed out Moose Junior pump I can outrun the Walbro pump and starve for fuel. R&D makes one heck of a kit, regulated return and everything, I plan on getting one when they are in stock again.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    F Super Duty 88-97 are equipped with the driveline brake. Difficult to adapt to 4WD and expensive to rebuild. They work great though, but if you don’t have deep pockets then probably better off to find something else. A friend of mine has a dually 10.25 with disk rear conversion, and a GM...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Keep in mind, my service truck is extremely heavy and has a fairly large front surface area as well. His EGTs make sense, as he is geared a bit taller and like you said is in a headwind. Just putting my numbers out there

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Your cruising EGTs seem a little high for being intercooled I run about 700ish at 70, but keep in mind that’s almost 3000 rpm in 5th with 5:13 gears Food for thought ig

    Newbie to Ford’s with questions on hauling

    Other than the arguable superiority of the Ford trucks themselves, what you speak of would be a true downgrade in powertrain. Don’t get me wrong, many people have had good luck with the 7.3 IDIs and PSDs, but there are plenty of people that haven’t. The 5.9 Cummins is a superior engine. Really...

    E 350 V Belt Issue

    A handful of us like to collect mostly irrelevant information ;Poke

    E 350 V Belt Issue

    I am very confused about my truck’s belts. According to what you’re saying, my truck uses van belt lengths. But it is from out of the country, maybe they did things differently in Canada. At any rate, other than replacing the belts when I first got the truck, I’ve had no issues there. I do have...

    Fuel temp

    I am going to put a very small trans cooler below the intercooler. Probably with an electric pusher fan that I will connect to the same fan controller that the Workhorse Customs (@03wr250f) engine fan is operated by.

    Fuel temp

    After some research, I found a few sources saying that 140° should be max fuel inlet temp for the 6.5 GM diesel, which uses a fairly similar injection pump. Aaand now it’s time for me to order a fuel cooler lol

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I typically warm my new oil up to at least room temperature for an oil change. I typically have to add between half and one quart between oil changes.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Then I will probably swap to the 6.9 style at some point

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Looks like the threads are pulled on one side of the cover that bolts to the front of my IP gear case… odd that I hadn’t noticed it before, I must have overtightened it when I turned the fuel up the other day. I didn’t ever feel like I got it very tight, but I am guessing that’s what happened. I...

    Reusing ARP head studs

    Just so you know, next 7.3 engine I stud, if that ever happens again, which I kind of doubt at this point, I don’t plan on retorquing.
