    1987 F-350 Crew Fummins build

    Thank you! I don't know why I missed where you said that you weren't installing the intercooler at the moment...I saw where you said that you had two IC's sitting around and assumed that one of them either was or was about to be installed. My mistake...and, thank you for the link to the tach...

    the newest piece of fecies.

    Your neighbors must just LOVE you... LOL Could be worse; imagine having the grille and hood off on a truck and doing a top-end rebuild with the truck facing out of an open driveway...in the most expensive part of town in Palo Alto :shocked: :rotflmao the neighbors were all multimillionaires...

    Game over

    Thank goodness you're okay...of course that's the most important part, although I also can understand the heartbreak around your pride and joy being destroyed like that, especially after pouring so much money into her. I'm sorry, man...

    The NIGHTMARE TRIP! Will I be asking too much of a IDI Turbo?

    Agreed 100%...I'm not sure how much I would trust the Cadillac rear brake calipers on an empty truck that weighs 2K more than the Caddy the caliper was meant for, forget a truck towing the loads you are towing. I like disc brakes and wish it were practical to do a disc brake conversion on my...

    WTB Bricknose Fuel Filler Necks

    What needs to be done to modify them? I haven't had a chance to compare a set of g@$$er and diesel DRW filler necks, but I have a set of g@$$er DRW filler necks that I either need to modify or exchange for diesel filler necks...

    Do you have any pics of the intercooler setup? Also, I saw the tach setup in the center picture...where'd you get the parts, and what sensor are you using? Thanks in advance ;Sweet

    1st Gen Power Steering pump on 97 24v

    I think the 1st Gen trucks had vacuum brakes...I know my friend's old '91 W-250 had a vacuum booster. Note the vacuum booster in the upper right of the picture ;Sweet I think '97 would still be 12 valve; IIRC they switched to the 24 valve midway through '98. I'm not sure if the power...

    Air/water heat exchanger vs trans cooler

    Forgive the slight tangent, but do you know why Ford went this way with the 6.4l after the 6.0l and 7.3l put the a/c condenser in front of the intercooler? For that matter, how did the 6.7l handle it? I ask because I have an intercooler out of a 6.0l that I want to put on my truck, and I've...

    The NIGHTMARE TRIP! Will I be asking too much of a IDI Turbo?

    I've launched boats countless times with a 4x4 IDI with a manual transmission (ZF and T-19). My recommendation for boat ramps is to keep the front hubs unlocked (or, lock them if the ramp's slimy) and put the transfer case in 4L. Couple that with careful application of the brake and clutch, and...

    Stranded! And the only thing I can do is get it towed

    Sounds like fun LOL I was part of a crew going down there from the Bay Area every weekend from February to May '98 getting this beauty ready to be put in the water: If memory serves, she had been sitting in that parking lot for a while before we took ownership of her, so she may have been...

    Stranded! And the only thing I can do is get it towed

    Okay, I have to ask...what timeframe were you stationed at Port Hueneme in? I ask because I spent quite a bit of quality time there in the spring of 1998... Gary, you think the Acura's bad...you should see the new Cadillac XTS that my company's replacing the Town Cars with. You practically...

    Red Rodney in a Bricknose

    Sounds like it's a moot point now, but Gary (icanfixall) has a Rodney Red in his bricknose...you might want to PM him if you run into anything else, if he doesn't see this thread...

    Stranded! And the only thing I can do is get it towed

    Which is why owning an electric vehicle is pointless for me, unless they got the cost down low enough that I could viably own three vehicles...

    Stranded! And the only thing I can do is get it towed

    My biggest problem with Teslas is the range limitation. For me, a prerequisite for any vehicle is that it needs to be able to make it from the Bay Area to Los Angeles without any issue. I used to use that metric to determine if a vehicle was worth keeping based on its reliability (or lack...

    Stranded! And the only thing I can do is get it towed

    I hate them because they're so ubiquitous around here and generate so much smug pollution. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnFAAdOBB1c I also drove one once...most unergonomic design I've ever seen. Even if I was pro-hybrid, I wouldn't want a Pious...

    Stranded! And the only thing I can do is get it towed

    Listen to what Gary said...THIS IS IMPORTANT!!! You might be able to get away with putting the transfer case in Neutral; I don't remember for certain either way...but, the output shaft on the transmission absolutely cannot be spinning with the input shaft not spinning; this WILL burn out the...

    I'll put in the time-off request tomorrow. ;Sweet I'll try for both days, but if I can only get one, is Saturday or Sunday better?

    Power Window Question

    The purpose of the plastic nubs is to have a breakway feature, in case someone sticks a finger or a neck through the window as it's trying to go up and the person operating the button doesn't realize it for whatever reason, or if the button's stuck or there's an electrical short. If Ford did...
