    Block Heater & Oil Pan adhesive heater to bypass glow plugs?

    CDDs glow plug relay kit and some motocraft ZD9 plugs would solve all your problems with a limited number of wires and you can throw that factory style controller in the nearest scrap bin.

    96 First Powerstroke

    Got it back with the rebuilt E40D, I can’t really test it yet because of the break in but so far it drives like a new truck, absolutely wonderful and the new trans cooler is bigger than my house.

    No nothing seemed odd, I already ordered studs. They fit a 7/16ths 12 point so I guess I do have the 6.9

    I could get all ridiculous and spin them in the lathe and measure them with a dial indicator, but we all know I’m not about to do that.

    Yes that is correct, I wouldn’t be opposed to overhaul and especially on what appears to be an excellent candidate but I don’t think it’s due yet and with the transmission in the psd at the same time I’m already pushing it on funds.

    The diesel test is a good idea, I will likely clean it up and do that test. I am not worried about the slightly faded cross hatch, in all my years of driving old junk I’ve never even had a cross hatch this good.

    That is a good thought thanks @IDIBRONCO I am pretty sure the piston scuff clearanced it self already but I may be able to file it a tiny bit.

    As far as I can tell the valve seat looks to have been I damaged by the headgasket it ate, I may lap it just for the sake of doing it.

    What about this little piston scuff?

    Pulled a 1987 out of a hole

    Is this a problem where the gasket got sucked into the valve?

    Do I need to pull the IP to remove the valley pan?

    OD worth the $ ?

    I can’t imagine it would be all that difficult to mount a cross member under the gear vendors. Are you saying that when backing a trailer or something they have a tendency to fail?

    Pulled a 1987 out of a hole

    I have an injector that always leaks diesel and I have tried every return setup imaginable and it still leaks, I want to replace coppers as part of my reseal while it is out but I am scared the injector will come out in three pieces. Is that a valid concern? Do they ever just fall apart when...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I took the engine out of mine.

    This thing is heavy, I need a bigger stand so I had to go the old tire on the ground route.
