    Reviving a 1990 F250

    I will pull the top cover off and take a look at the governor rod. Does that top cover use a gasket to seal? Anything else to check while I have it open?

    Reviving a 1990 F250

    So a quick update. I got back to work on the truck this past weekend. I replaced the fuel filters and filled with fresh diesel (5 gallons mixed with 1/4 of a qt of diesel clean and a little 2 cycle oil) I installed clear tubing on the return line from the top of the injector pump and the line...

    Fuel Filter

    Unless someone comes up with something I will take the specs for the baldwin to my local fleet supply and have them find something. I was just hopping someone was already running something so I would know it works.

    Fuel Filter

    I don't have the fuel bowl, I have the "one piece fuel/water separator" Its currently a Baldwin 1222SP. I don't really see the need for two water separating filter units. So my question was is there a standard fuel filter (that is not marketed as a fuel/water separator) that will fit the housing?

    Fuel Filter

    Good afternoon everyone, My truck is set up with a 10" fuel/water separator under the bed and has the standard one piece fuel/water separator under the hood. Is there a standard fuel filter that would work under the hood? I am just looking for a cheaper option to the napa gold $50 a piece filters.

    Promise... the build

    its not cheap but west system G-Flex is a two part epoxy that is designed to work with ABS plastics. i have used it extensively and it works very well, as with anything prep and following directions makes something work properly and last.

    Reviving a 1990 F250

    No I haven't tried pull starting. The truck cranks happily but it is not getting enough fuel I don't think, and I am chasing someone else's bad wiring job. I did figure out that they installed a manual glow plug button, the wire was broken so I hooked it up and the wire started smoking and the...

    Reviving a 1990 F250

    I haven't had much time to play with it. I did clean up the valley pan to see if I could see where the fuel was coming from, I cranked the truck several time and no fuel has shown back up yet (kinda confused about that). I cracked the injector lines and cranked the truck for about 10 seconds...

    Reviving a 1990 F250

    Signature has been updated. It is A Manuel 5 speed. So can I remove that sensor or does it need to be on the IP? I also have a fuel leak under the IP. What should I be looking for as the culprit of the leak? I will try to post a picture in a while but the fuel looks to be coming from closer to...

    I understand that, That's why I have been using this site as a reference for a long time. But that being said A book to make notes in and Highlight while I am tracing wires or running new ones is needed.

    Reviving a 1990 F250

    So I just jumped in it this morning and tried to start it with and without the petal depressed. I did 15 seconds of cranking followed by about 5 min of letting the starter cool down, I did this 4 times. I could smell some exhaust but it never started. It did sound like a couple cylinders may...

    Reviving a 1990 F250

    Short term enough to try to get it started. I was thinking about pulling the glow plugs and testing them and perhaps just making temporary wire and bullet connector leads. If I need to disconnect them and try starting fluid would I just trace the wiring harness from the glow plugs and disconnect...
