I purchased this truck from the owners son as it was his dads truck & it sat for a little while (10ish years) with small drives just to keep fuel ok, I’m pretty sure it’s the original head gasket, what’s the best way to tell for the head gasket? I dont see any white smoke or bubbles out of the...
1985 F-250 6.9 IDI
Been driving truck around with nicer weather and a trailer, been getting up to temp for sure & pushing coolant around.
have a small coolant leak coming down on the back side of the engine driver side, thought it was oil or even break fluid from the slave cylinder but it is...
I got the IP from custom diesel design, heard great things & had a shop that works on idi’s install, I wanting to think it’s a glow plug related problem, tiny shot of ether always starts up immediately!
I recently got a new DB2 pump and fuel lines installed in my 6.9. Ever since the new DB2 was installed my starting when cold has been very tough and hard, lots of white unburnt diesel coming out the back. Almost have to give full fuel pedal to keep the up the engine so it does not die. The fuel...
I have replaced the shut off solenoid multiple times as well. The spring on the bottom is being pinched when tightened ever so slightly to stop leaking.
Hello, I have some accross a problem when tightening stanadyne fuel shut off it tends to stick in the closed position. When loosened to free it up it will leak fuel, has anyone ever ran into this problem?
The only way I can get my truck running is when it is leaking fuel from the studs on the...
I want to say yes, I replaced my glowplugs right before I dropped it at the mechanics, I want to say I felt something weird happening like this while driving to the mechanics
I don’t think they caused it.
I recently just got my truck back from the mechanic, I had a bad rear output seal leaking oil into my overdrive unit. It since has been fixed.
I am noticing a decrease in power and a jerking / surging motion or almost like my pedal is not opening to send fuel. I want to say there is air...
The last seal on the trans is the rear seal, I would think that is the problem and needed to be replaced but I am not sure.
Thanks for the seal number I’ll send this info along!
He said he’s been looking online I am not sure it’s been taken apart yet.
Said he doesn’t want to take gaskets off or seals off unless he knows he can find replacements.
Gear oil from T-19 leaking and overfilling the Doug Nash Overdrive bolt on unit.
My mechanic can’t find the seal or part to fix this problem, anyone know what I’m dealing with?
I think it is the rear seal of the transmission right before it bolts on to the overdrive unit.
Check trans oil level today & it’s low, I do think the oil is leaking past the seal between the trans and the OD unit
Does anyone have an idea of what seal I’m working with? I for the life of me cannnot find any info on a seal in between.
Maybe the rear output shaft seal, but that would be on...
Has been leaking very little (couple drops here and there) but today I seen a shine from under my truck when it was parked.
Check the photos out, looks like a leak on the speedo line, also leaking more from a part I am not aware of, please let me know if you know what this is on the top of my...
Update: I have replaced the slave cylinder for the HD metal option from Rock Auto (AMS Auto S0702) what a difference m, this was 100% the problem with hard shifting.
Next will be changing the rear seal. I need to do some research beforehand to make sure I don’t break something.
I have the Doug Nash OD on the T-19! I have been driving around and the clutch most likely does have air, the connection to the master push rod is 100% with no play, I’m assuming there’s air I can’t get out, I’m going to check connections to my clutch and see if something is leaking air, reason...
Ok sweet thanks all for the info. I have some basics about the 6.9 but I have little to 0 info about t-19 and normal wear items on this trans. I did replace all the oil in the trans maybe 6 months ago and the old looked really good.
I have really cleaned up the O.D and parts on the trans that...
Ill
where would be the best place to buy a new rear seal?, also I am not familiar what the yoke is!
Also are there specifications on o-ring sizes or just match old with new sizes when replacing them for the Speedo cable?
What is leaking and how should it be fixed?
Got under after parking today and checked out anything shinny / reflective with a flash light & seen some nice leaky oil?
The FSS was bad, I replaced it, but not without taking precaution. I installed it correctly and turn the key on, then off and it died!
I did break a cheap FSS and had to order another. You would think it wouldn’t be a part that would be made cheaply but some vendors sell a junk FSS!
I haven’t driven the truck since the photos were taken and moved some snow under the radiator, nothing is leaking consistently but something did leak from the radiator for sure!
I am going to tighten the claps and see what happens next, got some free time today so I’ll keep you guys updated on...
