Massive coolant leak on block above starter
If the tank you are using has more than a 1/4 tank of fuel, and you only have starting issues when the truck is warm..... heat soak possibly is the issue. How many miles are on the injection pump? How about fuel pressure? Any way to check that at the fuel filter head? Heath- hesutton

Brick nose speedo
The cable run close to the hot turbo plumping? Any change it has gotten a bit toasty? I'd look at the drive gear and driven gear if ya can. That's what has given me the most trouble on my '86 F250. The drive gear in the T-case is crap on 1356. It will work occasionally and bounce a little...- hesutton

Need IDI help! (Gary,Brian,type4) chime in!
Smoking more than normal? Rougher idle? Injector knock (for me at least) has always been associated with more fuel smoke, rough uneven idle (a miss), and I can't hear it at all when not at idle. Also, common to have a very hot injection line and melted return cap. Often the failing injector...- hesutton

Tilt wheel swap
I swapped the column on '86 to the '91 gasser parts truck. Ditched the auto trans stuff for the "manual" column (or whatever you wanna call a steering column without an auto trans gear selector). Took a few hours but some of that was cleaning the coal dust/mud off the donor column. LOL Had a...- hesutton

Official test results of fuel inlet presure/timing
Yeah, gotta check your fuel pressure after the filter. On my IDI's I run a fuel pressure gauge in the cab so I know what it's doing all the time. The Autometer sender is in the filter head where the factory filter light sender would go on both my rigs. Heath- hesutton

Zombie Slayer: DNE2 Overdrive Install
I have a US gear UNDERDRIVE on my '86 F350. It is between the ZF5 and the NP208 transfer case. Underdrive and 4-low are really good combo for backing up the camper. But, with an OD US gear, it'd be really rare to need OD with the transfer case in 4x4. Not that there is anything wrong with...- hesutton

random valley pan question
The new style valley pans have two small oil drain holes. Not gonna move much volume, but they are there. I have always drilled them to ensure my turbo drain has no issue and reduce the chance of an oil leak at the rear of the engine. The tiny little mating surface between the rear of the...- hesutton

why does the slave cylinder refuse to stay in place??
Must be damage to the mounting tab on the side of your ZF5 or something screwy with the clip on the slave. Not really something that happens. Heath- hesutton

7.3 Idles Rough, Runs Great Otherwise
My guess is those injectors are leaking or opening at very different pressures. Pensacola is notorious. Heath- hesutton

Scored this today...
My worry would be a warp at the cylinder deck somewhere. Had that issue on my 6.9. Bad head gasket. Pulled the engine, new head gaskets, added ARP head studs. Put it back together and had it ready to haul my 5th wheel to PA to Mel's rally. 30 miles from home, coolant was covering my...- hesutton

T3 undivided to T4 divided adaptors on the Banks turbine inlet. Cut the horn off the intake manifold. Modified the DP. Made a new throttle cable mount. Had to reroute the intercooler pipe a hair.

NEW PRODUCT INTRODUCTION! Moose Boost turbo KITS now available!
Had this turbo on my 6.9 for roughly 4 years now. I've posted about it several times. I mod'ed my Banks kit, and intake manifold, but it was worth it. It's not gonna tow like my '17 F450, but I wouldn't expect it to. But, it is much more pleasant to tow the camper than it ever was with the...- hesutton

With such a large group in a large country, I don't think a single rally for the whole continent would be practical. We've had a few brave souls make the cross country trip to the east coast rally. Gary (icanfixall in '09) and Calvin (towcat in '12). It think the only way it could be...- hesutton
