6.9 & 7.3 idi electric fan clutch conversion
that's the hope, is incredible cooling ability and still staying reasonable for the idi masses. Basically my goal was to give idis the ability to tow with newer trucks, and not overheat doing it. we may not be as fast, but if you and the family can haul your trailer over the pass/grade/hill...- 03wr250f

Rsk lift amount
the springs in 70's Ford trucks are Not parallel, the frames kick in at the cab just slightly. this tucks the rear of the spring in. that binds the spring so the axle is being held in place by springs that are slightly bound up in any way but perfectly up and down movement. but it makes for a...- 03wr250f

Believe me I don't want to pay to fill it and not tanks up any more than the next guy. But we took a trip down the Oregon coast to California this spring. As we drove down the coast it went from a consistent 4.09 all the way through Florence and then to jumping to 4.49 in Coos Bay/bandon near...- 03wr250f

yes you must run a track bar with a solid front axle. the only time you wouldn't need to is when running a triangulated 4 link, think Jeep xj or like 70s ford/chevy trucks as the leaf springs are not parallel they sit in the truck like this -\--/- I use a sky's adjustable heim track bar. the...- 03wr250f

Rsk lift amount
because they used something like 7/16" rivets from the factory to mount the rear spring hangers. you only ream them enough to fit all the 1/2" bolts in and the frames are mass produced so the holes aren't perfect. you will need a reamer to get the bolts in, and I promise there will not be any...- 03wr250f

How to set up a Reverse Shackle Kit Tools Needed Corded Drill, as it will put up with the abuse of lots of drilling and a reamer 7/8’’ reamer. Trust me it’s worth it to spend the money on it versus buying a harbor freight step bit. Air hammer and chisel bit Plumb bob, in a pinch a piece...- 03wr250f

you may end up needing a f350 block but I actually think you will be close to factory f250 height truly after the springs settle is when you will need to measure block height to level go with a sky's kit and I can help walking you through how to set it up there is some finesse to get it to...- 03wr250f

7.3 IDI
You will need a turbo like the stage 1 drop in turbo for a 110cc IP Comp valve springs are also a very good idea I would if possible get the rotating assembly balanced. It makes for a very smooth engine, but you will have to balance if changing pistons and rods because it throws the balance off...- 03wr250f

@Cant Write it does, however there may be additional work required. Had one guy on the Facebook pages install it in a bullnose motorhome.
