    Current radiator recommendations?

    I was told a recore of my OEM 94 idi 7.3 van radiator was going to run approx $195 -$395 avg. with the re-core shop saying it could more a little more or a little less, (no labor because I'd R&R) but tax @7% would be added, the variable in price to recore, depending on several factors they...

    Draining ALL the oil from block, not just the pan?

    You see, Wes, that is the answer I'm looking for. I really don't want to do this if it is a stupid idea. From my threads, ya'll can see I'm NOT a true mechanic, just a guy with more time than money now, asking questions about concepts that seem like a good idea but, In years past, I and...

    Draining ALL the oil from block, not just the pan?

    Nope, SHERPA, Not so smart, really, thats why I'm here, asking you all for input. I might have some "hard won" life sense, thats all (some would argue that too). I am just tired of making the same mistakes, expecting different results. I'm headscratcher, for sure, and as such, think alot...

    Draining ALL the oil from block, not just the pan?

    So, Oilburners.... Who else knows about this? And, who else does this when changing their oil/filter?Personally, I've never done it because I never knew this existed...until now. So, here goes.... I have read somewhere that there is another oil removal location BESIDES the drain plug at the...

    Christian 9112: My bad. My issue was with my browser. I shut down everything and rebooted. Now I see the 4 fans pics and other pics. All I can say is, SWEET setup. I really like the 4 fan idea. Just by looking after reading so MANY threads trying to figure out my own approach to this...

    Great effort and many thanks for posting pics, some are not showing up for me anyway. Links show they are broken for the fan setup pics and a couple others in the suspension. I know its a PITA sometimes to upload pics because of size, extension, etc. anyway, thanks for sharing what you have...

    Water pump seal & plain water coolant?

    Thanks for your input. I will do more research. That info on using liquid was what Ive found also. "They" say DONT use it, you say "I have been using it for years".

    I thought a little more today about how I'm going to mount the two 12 inch fans onto the 3 core aluminum champion cooling radiator. I'd ultimately like the new radiator install to be a clean, pro looking install but at as least $$ cost with using as many partsas possible that I already have on...

    85 front springs

    Leaf spring info I'm no pro but have dealt with my share of spring issues over the years. To me, IMO, your springs, from the pics, look like they need rebuilding/re-arching, just from what can be seen from the deflection. The front and rear leaf springs were adaquate from Ford, for that year...

    Worlds FASTEST shipping on 7.3L I.D.I. N/A-G.R. STARTER

    Here is the Ford (Motorcraft) version for the 7.3L IDI. Not to much like the Nippondenso clone I received from DB Electrical but a nice starter. This one mafr'd for FORD, sold by DBE, is GR also, and its 4KW but, its also almost $150...

    +1 MacRobb, for being on target. It is a chinese starter and I didn't know it was a DENSO-CLONE, so, thanks for pointing that out. Nope, never said or thought it was "special" or "unique" or "better" than a $400 Mean Green" or any high dollar Gear Reduction name brand starter, for sure, just...
