    I Bent It. idit me

    Shame on me for not paying attention to this thread of my creation. I suspect a bent push rod from the usage of ether in a diesel engine. The other option might be bending a conn rod. Now if I pull the V/C, remove the push rods, roll them around and if I find no damage, then the next step might...

    I Bent It. idit me

    I appreciate that. I know this subject of installing/wiring a fuel pump has been hacked to death. The fun part is going to be locating the push rods.

    I Bent It. idit me

    Oh fudge. So the truck sat for about 5 weeks and I went to start it. Crank, crank, oh shtge! Let the glow plugs cool off about 20 minutes and give the intake a shot of ether. It started up and runs. Now it restarts with no problem because I have not let it sit another 5 weeks. Low speed has this...

    This being a Furd means installation of the required anti-grav kit. See Scotty in Engineering.

    If you find a real set of "No Drill" you then have to install the "Anti-Grav"kit.

    Bullnose / Bricknose chassis questions

    My '86 standard cab has a decent tight turning radius. The '87 extended cab is a joke. The '94 CC Dually matches the Titanic for turning radius with a Dana 60

    Trip "RESET" button. Remove the clear instrument panel, it should come right out.

    1986 A/C-Heater air flow, not right

    I'll throw in my 2 cents worth. Typically if the HVAC vacuum hose fails, the default position for the vents is the defrost mode. If you have air coming out of other vents then I suspect your control is broken. As for the hard plastic lines, you can repair those easily enough with rubber...

    '87 6.9 needs to go away.

    This toy can get swapped into someone else's life. I did go out this afternoon and add 2 quarts of trans fluid. THAT might help. I will fire it up tomorrow morning and see what happens.

    '87 6.9 needs to go away.

    Time to let the '87 F250 4X4 6.9/C-6 find a new home. $2205. It's not a beauty queen but for the money, Not that the transmission taking it's time to go into gear first thing in the morning was bothering me, or the slight water intrusion into the cab area from a body seam up front somewhere...

    strange whirring noise.

    West Texas. Getting home might not be a problem, Or is that fence slowing down the push crew? I spent some time in El Paso back along 1965/1969.

    Steering Stabilizer or Sway Bar with RFS?

    Tight. "Officially Giving up"? Ho-No-Sir. Your stuck with THIS albatross around yer neck. She wanted the no ECM diesel. Dodge is overpriced. That made it a Ford for an option. And the engine went kaflooey with 126 on the clock. Might as well do the trans at the same time. Add the Truetrac...

    Steering Stabilizer or Sway Bar with RFS?

    Everything is new. Everything matches the identical model with the mono beam axle. I am going to add the sway bar back into it and see what happens.

    strange whirring noise.

    Ideas. Next time, shift to neutral, turn off the key and DO NOT PUT IT IN THE "LOCK" POSITION. Just enough to stop the engine. Still got noise?

    Thank you for that bumper recommendation. I am also looking at changing over to the 2017(?) front bumper that hangs down a bit lower for concealment. Now if the 2017 front bumper has a larger front vent area, this should happen. However, a lot of this is boiling over into next year and soon...

    Six States, now called Truckpro at roughly 6111 NE Columbia Blvd did the job on the drive line. The tractor is a 1956 Ford 851 with a 40 HP gas engine. I believe it might get a front blade hooked up to the power up valve located under the front seat and with a 5' brush hog behind it next year...

    A third hand for the brakes

    Brake line should be a flare fitting. if it doesn't seal, either it's still loose, deformed or plain worn out. if the system does not hold, you might be loosing pressure at the wheel cylinders. You pull back the boots to make sure they are dry before adding line locs?

    I F this gets rid of the vibration problem, which I really believe it will, the next step will be the larger injectors, pump and turbo. Bring money. The inter cooler is a dimension problem with potentially having to move the radiator back. The radiator has the pins that drop into the slots at...
