    WTB US gears overdrive

    @Martin0759 Been eyeing this one, but I can't afford it. Figure I'd pass it along. https://sacramento.craigslist.org/pts/d/north-highlands-us-gear-dual-range/7643306327.html

    Rear taillight wiring question

    Should be able to ground it anywhere you get a solid connection. If the run/license lights don't run after, give them their own ground. https://www.garysgaragemahal.com/index1.html Go to Documentation on the top Then Electrical Then EVTM Then you'll see the EVTM for 1986 or 1996, either one...

    Stuttering / whiteish smoke

    My white smoke issues have all been related to injectors. Swapping them out largely cured it, still have one sticking a bit, but not getting the white clouds of acrid smoke like I was prior. Should be noted I am rebuilding them myself because I'd like to know how to since I'll be running 100%...

    Gettin' pissed over a ZF-5 install

    I have a LUK 07225 kit on mine. Had a bit of rollover noise so I took off the shift stub and overfilled it by a quart or so as many posts advised to do. No noticeable noise now. This is in an 86 6.9

    Project Thread: 1986 F250 “Farm Truck #1” Build Thread

    I was having trouble bleeding my clutch after doing my swap. Another member here, I cannot recall who, posted about propping a stick to press the clutch pedal down for a day or three. That worked for mine, well too since I was still working on other parts of the truck.

    Your shift stub has been welded it looks like, maybe torched and bent too

    Gettin' pissed over a ZF-5 install

    @John_piv You've got a weird one. I just took the shifter stub off of one of my 4 ZF5s, pic attached. Angle of yours is all wrong, no idea what that is from. Possibly modified for a custom stick.

    I did not see a manual pedal assembly in your list, don't forget that. Do the heim joint mod as well. You'll need a different floor pan if you go ZF5. For my ZF5 swap I was able to use the C6 crossmember and moved it back, there were already holes drilled if I remember correctly.

    Is your shift stub assembled backwards? Maybe someone repaired the plastic bits at one point and put it together wrong.

    Gettin' pissed over a ZF-5 install

    @John_piv That shifter looks to be mounted backwards. Should tilt to the bottom left, basically mirrored from where it is

    Gettin' pissed over a ZF-5 install

    Mine took less than 10 minutes to get in there using a normal floor jack. Raise the back up as far as it'll go, I used 6 ton jacks on wooden platforms. I removed the transmission crossmember Used two long pieces of all thread on the bottom bolts as guides I marked a tooth of one of the top...

    89 ZF5 into a 85

    @JSVD During your swap also take a look at the condition of your clutch pedal linkage and consider doing the heim joint upgrade Also take a look at the firewall for flexing/cracking where the pedal mounts, it is known for being a weak point.

    89 ZF5 into a 85

    Getting the entire truck? Driveshafts could be an issue depending on wheelbase differences. Floor pan for trans is different between T19 and ZF5, use the newer one.

    ardunio madness

    @1mouse3 What bulkhead connector is that, or what did it come off of? Looks perfect for the harness I am redoing.

    Steering gearbox

    Need to get my front axle sorted out before I swap it over. 2005+ steering gear is a bolt on swap if you're doing an axle swap. Might need to modify pitman arm if you're not doing axle swap. May require a bit of hose work, I can tell you when I'm done.

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

    Did a ton of research since posting this thread. Ended up with a 2005 F250 2wd rolling chassis. Will be using the rear axle, wheels, and steering gear from it. Also took all of the bracketry I needed off, specifically the radius arm mounts and coil buckets, since they are the same between the...

    GearVendors behind ZF5 4x4 - Anyone done it and care to share their setup?

    @hesutton I have a US gear underdrive as well, not setup for ZF5 though. Would you still recommend it with 3.73 or 4.10 gears or would you rather have an overdrive then?
