    Fuel Tank Breather Modification

    When I was shop forman I made sure that everyone under me knew there was no such thing as a stupid question. I found the person afrad to ask a question was the one who would make a mistake and ruin the part he was machining. never liked journeymen that made fun of or refused to answer...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    But to give idi Bob his due when I'd converted my 84 from 4 speed to 5 speed I found 1st and reverse to be very fast and though I never wore out the clutch I felt it was ******* the clutch. The s47 transmission changed that

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I only drove 40 mph at the start of the break in increasing my speed as I got farther into the break in period. The truck runs at 1600 rpm at 60 mph And on the gently rolling hills in my area drives easy and is much quieter then it was with the 4.10 gears. I have not driven it at expressway...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    As far as mpg with all the short trips I took while doing the break in I am still about 1 mpg better than with the 4.10 e4od setup that was in it. I expect that it will only get better. Though I may not reach the milage that you get, most likely because I drive faster.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Hi idi Bob Your my favorite dark cloud!! I am looking for a experienced eye to let me know if I am wrong but the pictures don't show the fact that you can still see the faint marks from the tooth grinding process when they were manufactured. The dark line is not there in real life but the...

    Engine Hoist for Tractor Loader Bucket

    You would have to invest in a silica carbide grinding wheel, also knowing that silica carbide wheels can't be used on ferrous metals after spending your money on it so it may not be for everyone But I have had good success reprofileing cement drills into a metal cutting point, for drilling...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I just finished my 500 mile break in for my controversial 3.31 gearing. Pulled the cover to drain the oil and fill with new. This is my first automotive regear and this is the pattern after the break in. To me it looks like a good pattern. So far I I love getting back to rowing gears with the...

    big block chevy fueling for your IDIT+!!

    I am not an expert on auto mechanics, but have worked in heavy industry repair all my career. Worked on many types of pumps. A pump that can be rebuilt sounds like something I would personally prefer if mine fails, even though I am happy with the stock performance of my idit. I'm assuming...

    Clutch master and clutch safety switch

    There is a metal clip that snaps onto a groove in the od of the of the cylinder protruding into the cab that that the switch hooks on to. I got what I needed from a parts truck. For myself I want to teach my grand kids how to drive a manual transmission. So I consider the safty switch...

    Cleaning out Fuel Tanks

    What onetonjohn just did. I did it exactly the same. I also sprayed fluid film on the top of the tanks after they were installed and before putting the bed back on. The top of my old tanks were a corroded mess from the road salt

    Intermittent Start but runs good when it does

    Correct, it did not have glow plugs. Owner's manual called it a cold start aid

    Intermittent Start but runs good when it does

    Right from john deere. My 3130 had a port to screw on an ether can right inside the cab. Never used it as I kept it plugged in. But this set up was not unusual and I knew farmers that used ether for years without disaster.

    Tired IP or Possible Retarded Timing?

    When I bought my 94 Idit last year. I was told they had recently replaced the injectors. The truck was putting out a lot of white smoke at start up and it never quite went away even when at operating temperature. The transmission shift points were also badly off. after driving it a few days...

    “The 6.9” project thread

    My grandfather had a Farmall, but I am not sure what model, though it looked similar, and a massy 35 which was almost brand new at the time when he decided to teach me how to drive them. Over 50 years later, I tracked down that massy and now own it.

    drive line angle

    Sometimes it is just nice to go slow. The transmission mount and drive shafts that I used in my truck, came off a truck that had been converted from 2wd to 4x4. Thinking back to that truck, it’s drive line angles must have really been messed up. Especially as it also had the axle spacers...

    drive line angle

    I thought I would update what I did with my drive line. I decided to check all my angles, starting with the engine as per chart above. This chart came from a 1994 manual. To be clear, I installed a zf5 with transfer case into a 2wd automatic truck, but I am keeping it as a 2wd. Just like the...

    Engine ground washer

    I have seen the star washer between the frame and cable. Thought it may be to bite into the frame to maintain better electrical contact

    drive line angle

    Thanks u2slow your picture clued me in. I just checked my parts truck and that hanger bearing bracket is a good 2 inches deeper than the one on my truck. So any one converting from 2wd to 4x4 needs to nab that bracket also.

    drive line angle

    Found these specs. They are based off of the bottom of the frame rail just behind the cab. Looks like an angle change of .9 degrees at the tail of the transmission to front drive shaft, and a 1.9 degree différance between the 2 u joints on the back drive shaft with an 8.3 degree or a 7.6 degree...

    drive line angle

    Thanks all I suspended the hanger bearing by longer bolts, and a 2 1/4 inch gap gave me matching angles. This is the super cab, so maybe this is normal. It may look weird, but I think I will space the hanger bearing to bring the angles closer together.
