    Pulled a 1987 out of a hole

    I did, too late now. She’s gone, although I’m not sure there was anything you could have used except maybe a dash and hubs

    Gas vs diesel zf5

    I have a 1989 460 truck that I idi swapped with the ZF five and I believe 4.10s, the smaller gap compared to the t19 I had the idi in before is amazing. I am NA and the ZF doesn’t have that giant gap in the 3-4 shift it’s very helpful when hauling.

    Trans gear hunting e4Od

    +1 on the brake lights, these E4ODs rely very heavily on the brake light circuit (including third brake light) mine would almost have to be towed if a light bulb went out it was ridiculous. I had a water leak into the third break light housing and it was non stop drama until I absolutely...

    Pulled a 1987 out of a hole

    The timing solonoid or the wiring harness? I’m intending to put the timing solonoid on a switch for those zero degree cold start days.

    Pulled a 1987 out of a hole

    Thanks! I am going to have to either DIY part of my harness or find a replacement from a 91 7.3 idi. I may have a few more questions for you guys.

    Pulled a 1987 out of a hole

    I ran into a serious problem with the wiring last night! I put my 87 diesel front harness into the 91 and than I learned that most of the plugs on the 91 are different, specifically the ones that relate to all things happening under and in the rear of the truck. So now I have turn lamps and...

    Pulled a 1987 out of a hole

    I had a close call with some rain!! Thankfully as soon as it started I thought “oh no I never checked to see if that truck has a good cowl seal” and ran over and threw a bag over the air cleaner. Of course it stopped raining shortly there after.

    Pulled a 1987 out of a hole

    Maybe it can be one more thing for the trash bin then. New aluminum fuel lines installed! I’m hoping a 30 foot loop of aluminum will help keep fuel temps down on the 110 degree days.

    Pulled a 1987 out of a hole

    Here is the core suport video for you all. Just got my new alluminum fuel lines from summit today so I can put together the fuel system and get this thing ready to hopefully tow its old self to the scrap yard soon.

    Oil leak from lift pump weep hole

    Mechanical fuel pumps leak essentially out of the box and that’s industry standard now, on my powerjoke 7.3 I went through 4 in less than 3,000 miles both Napa and ford dealership and I have never had a leak free pump on my idi.

    Pulled a 1987 out of a hole

    It runs! Off a can and there’s not core support yet but it runs and it moves at least 0.5 of an inch…….. :)

    I need an engine!

    There’s a free block on marketplace in northern Oregon no heads just a block unknown conditions. What are you looking for? Reman ? Known good runner? A custom build thing like Justin at R and D?

    Pulled a 1987 out of a hole

    There were some bolts that stuck out too far from a front trac bar that tried to tear open my oil pan as I didn’t see them and for some reason it was just a very difficult fit in the input shaft in the trans, icing on the cake was that two of the bolts on the freshly modified ZF gasser bell...

    Pulled a 1987 out of a hole

    That’s exactly what I wanted to hear! It has to move under its own power by Monday so I don’t have a lot of room for error on parts comparability. I need my welding shop bay back next week!
