    87 Crew Cab w/ 6 doors

    Shame '99+ require smog in CA...an IDI or 12 valve conversion in an Excursion would make for a fun rig...especially with a ZF6 :sly ;Sweet :sly

    Replacement Windshield wiper arms?

    $75 for OEM? Doesn't sound too bad...I've been thinking about doing this myself (I've gotten spoiled by the Bosch single-piece wipers on my Jetta, but they're hook only). I remember reklund did this a few years back and was very happy with it...

    Gassser Tach In Diesel?

    I'm pretty sure it won't; IIRC the g@$$er tach signal is completely different from the diesel tach. I thought you were selling a factory slant-nose diesel tach?

    87 Crew Cab w/ 6 doors

    Why not take it a step further and install a jump plug like what tow trucks use? Something like this: http://www.awdirect.com/polarized-sockets-for-jump-start-cables-w-4-leads-associated-6137/jump-start-sets/ That one's rated for 500 amps...I wish I could find something with a higher...

    Wow that looks good! I wish I had your welding/fabrication skills ;Sweet

    Question about a 89 F350

    Welcome aboard! ;Sweet Did the engine die immediately after you shifted out of gear, or was it idling in neutral for a few seconds before it died? If it died immediately, it might be a stuck metering valve in the injector pump...doing a few severe overdoses of PowerService fuel additive...

    Fuel Tank Shower Head

    Someone once linked to a brass or bronze fuel pickup assembly...I wish for the life of me that I could find that link or that post, but that was many years ago and I lost the bookmark. It was intended for a marine application, but it seemed like it'd be a perfect replacement for us. I like...

    Disc brake dually

    Having put a number of miles on a Chevy C5500 bus, I have to say that I'm underwhelmed by GM's hydroboost system that that bus is equipped with, although maybe the system's better on a smaller pickup? :dunno I've also had the pleasure of driving an F-350 CC DRW with a fully done hydroboost...

    F-350 with Transfer Case driven PTO Setup

    Good evening! Thought some people on here might be interested...I had an opportunity to take a look at an F-350 DRW factory 4x4 last week. This is the first time I've seen a functional transfer-case-driven PTO, and I took a few pictures of the setup. The PTO was originally driving a winch...

    Cummins into 1996 E-SuperDuty Bus

    Thank you for the update! That's very good to know...that info may come in handy...

    1990 club wagon idi

    Are there rails for the third 2-person seat and the 4-person seat? I assume the seats themselves are long-gone. Not like I'm really in a position to jump on this, but I would love to get my hands on an IDI-powered 15-seater van someday...

    Disc brake dually

    Right, and compared to the rear calipers you see on pickup trucks with factory disc brakes, the Cadillac calipers are tiny. In the end, it's your truck and your decision, but I really don't think that going that way is a good idea. Please don't put anybody else at risk...

    Disc brake dually

    I'd be curious to see more on this, but I'm guessing that you still lose the parking brake function. There is this: http://www.fordmann.com/F350.rear_disc_brakes.htm although it's pretty involved, requires welding abilities and a fair amount of machine work, and you still have to source a...

    93 Econoline 7.3 IDI - tachometer gauge- how to?

    Actually, it might be simpler than that. If memory serves, the instrument cluster from an OBS E-Series van ('92+) is interchangeable with an instrument cluster from an OBS F-Series pickup ('92-'97); the main difference is that an F-Series instrument cluster has a tachometer built in. I...

    Runaway Diesels Do's And Don'ts

    Both of these are good points, but IMHO even while understanding that using a fire extinguisher could ruin the engine, it's still good to have as a backup in case you can't block the intake for whatever reason. Keep in mind that a runaway engine can literally explode and do damage up to and...

    First Diesel Braking Issue.

    Welcome aboard! ;Sweet Maybe I should ask first...when you say that you feel like the truck doesn't stop well, can you be more specific? If it feels like you need a lot of effort to move the pedal even a slight amount, that would indicate a problem with the brake booster, vacuum pump, or...

    Make my 89 F250 a dual wheel?

    WOW!!! That's very interesting...I've seen plenty of OEM Ford steel rims that came off of trucks with 10.25" DRW axles, and on every single one of them, the lug surface was flat. I wonder why your DRW axles came with coined rims?

    Make my 89 F250 a dual wheel?

    I think the primary application is DRW trucks with a Dana rear axle, but I'll defer to those with more experience with them :angel:

    Make my 89 F250 a dual wheel?

    Resurrecting this thread... Got a few pictures of a 16" "coined" rim this evening. Look at the holes for the lugs...they're alternating between convex and concave. IIRC that's to locate the rim relative to the lugnut for a lug-centric rim (as opposed to a hub-centric rim where the lugnuts'...

    figuring out my truck...

    The biggest thing I'm noticing is that the article's using International-Harvester part numbers, as opposed to block serial numbers. Here's the list of improvements made to the engines based on block serial numbers: I'm not sure what the star is either, but for what it's worth, his block...

    License Plate Light?

    For what it's worth, I have the same assembly on my truck. I don't know why LMC lists it as being for a replacement bumper, because my housings have OEM Ford part numbers. I've seen them in painted silver, painted black, and chrome...I used to have painted silver, and snagged a chrome set from...

    Craiglist find

    :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: WOW!!!! Even in California, it's rare to find a Scout 80 that clean!! That guy must have no idea what he has...$2500's a Ray Charles deal at that price! I can't justify another vehicle and my $$'s tied up elsewhere; otherwise I would seriously consider that truck...

    Craiglist find

    And, that's what I was referring to. Actually, other than the floorboards, that truck has less rust than my '84 extended-cab :cry: As a former owner of an IH Scout, that's an exercise in understatement. The aftermarket support for the Scout II is VERY limited compared to other vehicles from...
