    '94 F350 Carrier Bearing Drop Spacer / 3" lift

    Getting close to done. . . In the final stages of initial assembly and I finally got the 2 piece drive line in and it is in dire need to drop about 3 inches at the center carrier bearing I suspect. I say three inches due to the 3 inch OEM spacers I installed...

    Pressure Chamber/Turbo Hat to Turbo 'O' Ring source?

    Greeting fellow Oil Burners, Looking for the "O" ring above. Naturally the hat is 'glued' (?) down to the manifold by the PO and I hope I can knock it loose with a hammer stick and not break it. It is not squarely seated on the turbo exhaust and I suspect it will in fact suffer a pressure loss...

    More engine power "research"

    Slush box is good for the wife to drive. The Allison, with the 2 extra gears, might make that engine a bit happier under a load. I am in the search mode, beginning search mode, for an air brake equipped tandem axle dual wheel trailer. So 8 tires under it with nice wide brake shoes on both axles...

    More engine power "research"

    Well, after about 19 months of one problem after another, including, but not limited to a loss of interest, combined with laziness, the Allison '94 CC Dually F350 7.43 idiT might be on the road next Friday. Now that Allison trans is rated to tow 32,500 pounds. The engine, maybe not so much. So...

    Dead horse subject RABS // Parts availability?

    I figured running the Allison with Hydo *might* make the rears want to lock up prematurely. My attempt was to source and possibly procure a RABS valve prior to an absolute need for it. Temperature is starting to drop out there and a few more degrees will keep me inside for the next 3 or 4 days...

    Dead horse subject RABS // Parts availability?

    Okay. My turn. And I apologize in advance. Back when I first got this '94 CC Dually, 7.3 idiT, The brakes worked. Not the best, but the truck did stop effectively enough. Lock up? No way. You are going to hit whatever your aimed at. Add a camper, etc and you better plan ahead. The PO...

    back prime the fuel system?

    Well, the weather guessers are calling for some cold weather for the next week roughly and I am not going to even try to start this toy in less than 35 degrees when ~I~ don't even go outside to play. So it will sit for a week starting tomorrow.

    Winch Wiring

    Hello again. This is getting to be fun. '94 idi. The first battery goes directly to the starter. The second battery goes to the first battery. When jump starting the battery hook up to the first battery. So any problem with hooking a winch up to the second battery? Currently a Warn 12K or I...

    Loss Prevention

    Yes. Tow truck auto theft is a real world occurrence. I once saw a Ford mustang with the steering column demolished trying to hot wire it and the drive shaft between the bucket seats. As far a GP defeat, Once my engine is fired in the morning, it doesn't need GP's again for at least 4 hours...

    Loss Prevention

    Proximity switch to the fuel pump might be a future option. My current approach is a switch in plain sight that can also be removed upon leaving the vehicle. Simplicity is a good thing. The only way a tracker might come into need is either for a smart bandit who knows to listen for the click of...

    Loss Prevention

    Been looking at a few things for Loss Prevention/tracking. I figure one of the best ways to prevent the loss is to stop it before it begins. I will not prevent the engine from cranking but to prevent it from starting for the average individual. Some people might get energetic enough to stick...

    Looking for a GPS Vehicle tracker.

    Air tags require a wifi or some such, proximity. My driveway is already out of range. 99% of those trackers, I have found out charge $12-25 a month. (ouch.) ~~I am going to start with a hidden, built in, no crank or start switch.~~ I am currently looking for the wiring diagram that ends with...

    Another lift pump lets me down.

    Electric pump can be mounted on rubber isolators (One version is a metal stud on either side of a rubber block, another version is similar to your wiper motor mounts) to reduce noise/vibration. I am in the process of adding an in line electric with toggle switch and possibly fuel line routing to...

    back prime the fuel system?

    I figured to use a 5 gallon bucket of diesel with the hose stuffed about 12 inches down into it. Far off the bottom and away from dirt/water. My desire was to fill the filter and fuel line from the mechanical lift pump up to the I/P. The filter is 99% filled up, I just don't desire to crank the...

    back prime the fuel system?

    Well, the truck has been sitting far too long while I play with it. I am about to fire it off in another few days after I play with more things, and I am wondering. Is it possible to remove the shraeder valve from the top of the fuel filter, stuff a rubber hose over that valve and back fill the...

    Looking for a GPS Vehicle tracker.

    Well, it looks like not many people are worried the old trucks might go for a ride without them. My toy is no less than 100% ~over~ top dollar and I am not done yet. Now if I was real smart, I would incorporate an oil accumulator that would pre-lube the engine bearings prior to start up. Hmmm...

    Looking for a GPS Vehicle tracker.

    Greetings one and all. Looking for a GPS Vehicle tracker that hopefully does not need a subscription and works on the smart phone. Any suggestions? Thanks for your time.

    TPS Voltages?

    Yeah. I got the kit from CA Conversions and the cable supplied extends out to about 52 inches but the linkage pulls in the wrong direction, unless you don't mind having that cable routed over the fan shroud. Now I wonder if I deleted that pic i sent to CAC. oops. Well, I found it. The kit I used...

    I suppose the only way to make it work correctly is take apart a PS dash.

    7.3 idi throttle position sensor question

    Well, this might pop to the surface again and looking up the 'updated' Gray TPS / FIPL, Motorcraft # W0133-1700356 (?) it is listed as fitting the 90-96 F150 with the 4.9 6 cyl engine. Checking TSB's on the 93 F350, there is no mention of an upgraded TPS. However. It's only been about 25...
