    2WD Super Duty front brakes to match 10.5 rear axle swap wheel pattern - easy or complicated?

    I have a 1986 2WD F-250 SRW. I am planning on doing a Sterling 10.5 swap in the rear to get disc brakes with a parking brake. The wheel pattern changes, I can either drill it out or change the front to match. I have a line on some 17" Eagle Alloys in 8x170 that I could put on the truck, or I...

    Parts for sale - Gearvendors for C6, Banks Sidewinder, Saginaw pump brackets, etc

    Early Gearvendors unit with C6 tailhousing. Doesn't say Gearvendors on the actual unit, however I sent pictures in to the gentleman that runs https://www.maximum-overdrive.com/ and he told me it looks like an early unit. It definitely wouldn't fit a Volvo where Laycock ODs usually come from...

    Swap in 2011 axle

    The van axle is narrower I believe. The 2000-2004 Sterling 10.5 off a normal F250/F350 is a direct bolt in from what I read. In order to use your 8x6.5 wheels you'd need to drill out the pattern, Motobilt sells a $15 template to do so. You'd run van disc brake rotors in that situation. Been...

    recommenred 12 v auxilary fuel pump for waste motor oil

    What PSI do you need for your injection pump inlet? I have a Carter electric pump at the moment, but it is annoyingly loud. Going to switch to an inline pump for a 6.2/6.5 GM diesel. Rockauto has them, do something like a 1989 GMC or Chevy 2500 with the 6.2 to see what I mean. It is...

    '86 Extended cab project thread

    I agree on covering wiring, I had to be aware of where I left my wrenches when timing it. I'm looking at redoing it a third time so that I am satisfied while also enclosing it all in some sort of waterproof box. It's been a learning experience for sure!

    '86 Extended cab project thread

    Another long gap in this project, almost done with school which has taken precedence. Rebuilt my injectors correctly, working on getting several sets together as I will be running WMO and need to keep plenty of spares around. Got the engine timed to 9.5*, ready for turbo reinstallation...

    Rear speakers in ext. cab.

    I'll be installing 6.5 component speakers in my door. I have electric windows, so I got manual door panels and will mount the tweeter in the window arm hole with the 6.5 speakers next to it. I've got a small amp and a DSP, it'll be a headless setup. Will install a subwoofer in the center...

    I really need help with a weird no start

    Check this thread https://www.oilburners.net/threads/tell-me-its-not-the-fuel-injection-pump.83223/ Also, maybe consider running straight from IP feed line or filter head to a clean container with clean diesel to bypass pump, I believe the IP can pull enough fuel by itself to idle

    What PSI is that electronic fuel pump putting out? Anything over like 8-9psi changes the timing of the IP

    i.p. tech question

    The pumps can get gummed up if they sit without moving for too long. I don't have a specific thread of post to reference, this is based on what I've read here and been told when inquiring about purchasing a pump to keep as a known good spare. A spare is fine, but it was recommended to rotate...

    WMO pressure centrifuge using Spinner II 60SE - general thoughts?

    I took one apart, it's basically the same as the Dieselcraft, but much larger. They run at 2GPM, so to run 4 I'd need an 8GPM pump or larger. I've got a 11 gpm hydraulic pump attached to a PTO that I am going to figure out how to connect a motor to because I found a calculator that says I'll...

    WMO pressure centrifuge using Spinner II 60SE - general thoughts?

    So I picked up 5 Spinner II Model 60SE (120 gallons per hour I believe) pressure driven centrifuges for a song and would like to utilize several of them for processing WMO. Any tips on how to best do this? I posted a couple of videos showing the basic setup I'd like to try for, I figured I'd...

    Diesel Rx Glow plugs

    I tested several plugs today, this is by no means scientific as they are all junkyard pulls. I setup a battery measuring 13.02v (LiFePO4) with 12 gauge wire going to each plug. Each picture is after 10 seconds counted in an oh-so-very scientific one-one thousand, two-one thousand method. I...

    Diesel Rx Glow plugs

    I pull the glowplugs when I see them on JY trucks so I have spares. I hook them up to a battery and check the glow pattern as well as how long it takes to get cherry red, then keep the matched sets in the parts bin. The DieselRX ones are garbage, they only get red at the tip, not the whole...

    What do y’all think?

    I picked up a WVO system for free that I was going to use for WMO. The tanks were covered in WVO gunk, almost like a melted plastic film, wasn't able to pressure wash it off so I gave the tanks away for free. WVO seems like an absolute mess to deal with compared to WMO, though it isn't liquid...

    Your thoughts on my reliability problems

    What are you using them for when you say work purposes? Might be good to get a beater truck in the meantime until one of your two is solid, then sell the beater. I personally drive a lifted Scion XB which handles all my needs while I get my 86 running, it also gets abused for hauling cargo...

    Electric Vacuum pump vs Hydro-boost swap

    My understanding is the electric vacuum pump would need to be quite substantial to be adequate enough for a vacuum brake booster. Generally from what I've read an electric vacuum pump is used after doing a hydroboost swap because about the only thing you're using vacuum for is HVAC vents and...
