    F-Superduty hydroboost

    I've got an F-Superduty hydroboost unit for sale with all the hoses. $220 shipped to your door I also have 3 hydroboost units without the master cylinder/reservoir that I can do for $150 shipped. If I can rustle up any hoses on those I'll toss them in. I know I've got 1-3 hydroboost to...

    slightly different zf5 swap question

    You'll have to utilize the parking brake in order to keep it 2wd. Just move the cross member back a little bit and shorten your driveshaft as necessary. Trans mounts are the same

    slightly different zf5 swap question

    2WD cross member should be fine. 4x4 is shaped to allow front driveshaft to pass to the front axle.

    1986 A/C-Heater air flow, not right

    Not sure your exact issue, but I've rebuilt my entire AC/Heater system and can tell you the issues I found. The blend door itself had hinges that were damaged, so I made my own hinges. The rear of the heater/AC control panel had a rubber block that all of the vacuum lines attached to which was...

    Trouble finding fuel sender for early 90's E-350.

    Ford gas senders are something like 16-158 ohms, except for older ones, like pre 1981 or something Ford diesel senders are something like 8-78 ohms I replaced the sender boards on mine with gas ones and used Auto meter gas fuel gauges If I did it again I'd figure out something that uses...

    California Diesel Conversion Tale of Woe

    There are CA counties that do not require biannual smog checks. Might be worth getting a PO box in one of those counties, San Bernadino, for instance, and registering your vehicle using that info.

    Front sway bar advice

    Are your front coil springs old and blown out? You'd gain some height on a new set if so. Not really gain, I suppose, but get back your original ride height.

    '86 Extended cab project thread

    Got the tube welded on, leaving it long until I know how short to cut it. Will end up making a bead roller out of a crimper to put a bead on it.

    Useful PDFs

    So it turns out a lot of libraries offer the Chilton online manuals which have a plethora of electrical diagrams, as well as the ability to sign up for a card online. Downloadable as a PDF as well for offline use or printing. Use a Los Angeles County USPS location address and sign up on the...

    '86 Extended cab project thread

    Welded a plate onto my intake today. First aluminum weld ever besides my practice lines on scrap. Turned out less fugly than I thought. Still need to grind it and drill out the center for a 3" hole. Was going to go V-band, I think I'll just do a 3" piece of tubing instead. It's not like...

    Traveller Smurf (Cubey's '89 van)

    I got a larger rollover valve for my tanks or ditched it all together and ran tubing from the tank to the fuel filler. On the fuel filler neck I drilled and added barbs. I used grommets and press fit them in there, I'd redo them given the chance since I can weld now.

    Traveller Smurf (Cubey's '89 van)

    @Cubey The one I have is floating around here somewhere, couldn't find it in a cursory search, it looks like this one. If you search for a super duty filler neck on Amazon Warehouse, a few options come up, like linked below. Two of them available at $18 ea...

    Traveller Smurf (Cubey's '89 van)

    Not sure if it is a direct fit. It has the vent tube as well, I'll send a photo today. I swapped the ones on my truck with ones off of an F-Superduty, was a direct swap. This one is from an 05 super duty

    @Cubey I've got a super duty filler neck I can send you, it has the larger opening.

    Belt driven fuel pump discussion

    @chickenpot Impressive, just saw the video. That pump is about 4x as big as I thought it was. Any chance you've got one with less flow? Seems like it is way overkill, though stout I'm sure. Smaller will definitely help with some of your pressure issues. Did you use a clutch or is it just a...

    Belt driven fuel pump discussion

    @chickenpot 30 psi is very high I just bought a pump from Justin at R&D and his test sheet was for 7 psi. Anything over 9-10 starts to really mess with timing is my understanding. Is that VW oil filter for the fuel? They are sort of like a Frantz, correct? Also, I just picked up two older...

    Putting Oil Change into the Tank

    Most of the folks running WMO are filtering it quite a lot before it ever goes to the tank. At minimum I'd let it settle for a month or two before dumping it in, this lets at least some of the stuff drop to the bottom. A 500 mesh screen will catch big chunks, but you could find yourself with a...

    CDRs - Glow Plug controllers - climate - cruise - steering pump/bracket - etc $20/ea

    The ATS 093 is the aftermarket turbo and came with a 3" DP The factory turbo is made by ATS but has the squished downpipe

    Down pipe and v clamp

    Couldn't one just bolt one of these generic eBay vband clamp plates on and get a bigger exhaust downpipe? Wastegate would be deleted, though some of them have a wastegate configuration as well. 3" vband clamp 5 bolt t3/t4 adapter comes up with a ton of results and configurations

    Value of early 90s idi dually with blown motor

    If it's a ZF5, 2wd I get about $800 on those, selling a 4x4 SBF ZF5 (351, 302, 300) tomorrow for $1200. These are all CA prices, not prices from the land of reasonable states. Sold my last C6 for $300. Worst off you get a parts truck and make some money on it, even with just the turbo kit...

    Value of early 90s idi dually with blown motor

    I haven't sold a turbo setup for less than $1,000, so there is that. I paid $2,000 for my 86 extended cab with decent paint, a dirty but in good shape interior, and a bad pump/injectors/filter/everything that normally goes wrong, no turbo. This was also in 2020 and prices have only gone up...

    Value of early 90s idi dually with blown motor

    Would need more details. It'd be a steal in the 0-500 range if the body is clean, at least by California market standards.

    Electric window swap

    Alternatively if you got a momentary switch capable of handling the full DC current (an AC rated switch will get carbon fouling from arcing on any sort of higher current DC circuit and fail shortly), then you'd be able to skip the relays and do a simple polarity reversing switch using a DPDT...
