    What’s it worth?

    To clarify to @94turbocrewcab-lb, you are correct 093 @Nero. Factory was 093 & had FORD on the filter/breather lid like my '94 engine. ATS 093 was identical IIRC but had ATS on the same filter lid.

    Not that far from you @Jesus Freak & Pensacola but I don't remember what yr it was (about 1977-78) but I was leased on to C&H Transportation Heavy Haul. I had a big oversise, non escorted load headed over into a Mississippi power plant. I bootlegged it into small truckstop on east side of...

    Tires for 1991 F350 DRW - 235/85/16 or ?

    My '90 dually came with 215x? 16. I been running 235x85x16 for long time. 235'5 are the widest I can run. Wish I could find some taller tires that weren't wider. Anything wider nearly rubs dualed. Even with a 1/2" spacer still can't get enough between tires clearance to run taller & wider.

    '98 F-350 how do they behave in very cold weather?

    @Bart F-350 when you say "Our 230V is on two legs, 50Hz" is that 230 V on each leg ? Usually the 50-60Hz part won't matter on the block heater. Just trying to figure out & maybe help you.

    '98 F-350 how do they behave in very cold weather?

    @Bart F-350 is your 230 Volt electricity single or 3 phase? And is it AC electricity? Do you know if your electricity is like 120 volts on 2 legs, then a neutral leg? Actually you probably have some funny form of 3 phase electricity over there!!!! I have 3 phase electricity up town at the...

    Rear leaf springs for f350

    On my '90 LBCC dually, my '86 single wheel, my '88 single wheel, as well as both U-Hauls, & my other Fords they are all 3" wide. My '85 CCLB Dually Chev has IIRC 2 1/2" wide rear springs. Don't remember without going out to look how many leaves on them all. 10 leaf sounds like a lot, unless they...

    Zd29s vs Zd9s...for the inquiring mind...

    I asked above.....Do the 80034 plugs go ahead and seat well in our 7.3's? What I meant was that somewhere before it had been mentioned that someone has machined or dressed off part on the hex so the 80034 or the 60 G plugs would seat into the head. I never was clear if they meant about seating...
