    ONLY use FORD throttle cables!!

    yep, i learned that lesson also. mine was not so much about the cable breaking down but the aftermarket cable was about 1/4 or more short from giving me full throttle.

    Can you remove heads in truck with studs installed

    i thought it was possible if you leave the studs in the head being held up by an oring or rubber band. you have to sort of slide things into place. not fun but doable.

    Cheap Ebay selector valve?

    sounds dangerous, getting parts caught under the creeper wheels is NO BUENO!

    MB OM617 powered Wrangler or VW TD powered Sidekick?

    wow, just learned about that outfit. funny, they are only about 20min from me. one of the biggest things between the CJ and the newer Wrangler is that the CJ has the round headlights. the square headlight wranglers had improved rust prevention and better engines with fuel injection but i don't...

    Sitting truck frozen drum brake advice

    yep, if they are that frozen it might be time to sacrifice them. if it gets to that point i skip the hammer and get the sludge!

    MB OM617 powered Wrangler or VW TD powered Sidekick?

    just reading through the question, why is re powering the XJ not on the table? i am a big Jeep CJ fan (even wranglers are ok) but it sound like a lot of work building a re powered wrangler, engine and drive line swap. the XJ also has a larger more stable/comfortable wheelbase and suspension and...

    Project: The New CDD Shop Truck

    thanks, that is a generous offer! i might take you up on that, i don't want to derail the thread but i have not been overly happy with my turbo upgrade and i am starting to suspect a possible intercooler problem. i have just not had the time to give it much attention. i can PM you

    Australian headlights, a bit hard to get but i think they improve the look of the truck

    Project: The New CDD Shop Truck

    very nice, i have given thought to pulling out my stock OBS Ford intercooler and trying a smaller one like you have. they "claim" the added efficiency will make up for the size. i am thinking the added airflow over the condenser and radiator would be an improvement. do you know if these...

    how long is 5.9

    i cant answer your questions about adapters, i chose to stuff a DT360 in my truck ;burnout but do you have some pictures of how the shifter works with the rear trans? i can agree though with the strength comment, i have a Eaton fuller FSO 6406 transmission and even though i like the ZF-5 the...

    Big Ugly goes to rehab

    ouch, it always sucks when something big like that is failing but it sounds like it was no surprise. but at least you got it home safe and can plan what to do next.

    Antarctic IDI Build

    i just read through this, great build! i have to say, that ambulance body looks impressive on a 4x4 frame with some meaty tires!

    Pre fall get together repairs.

    i am almost surprised it did not hit higher! those were some serious exhaust leaks. i would try to clean off as much of that old carbon as you could, you don't want that stuff promoting rust.

    Deutz Diesel Bronco

    i am not sure how that would work bolting a transmission to the adapters. usually the adapter rings i have seen for say a SAE#2 to #3 are only a thin bolt ring to bring the size down. i am no expert though. what is the bolt pattern on the back of what you have labelled as bellhousing 1? it...

    Pre fall get together repairs.

    do you think the freeze plug rotted out or was it a bad install? anyway, nice work, i know what you mean with taking it a little easier on the body. one of the reasons i am adding a winch on the front of my truck for firewood. let the machine take the abuse!

    2008 Escape

    one of my current favorite channels! i am not even sure i would grind it down much. if it is that thin you might want to keep all of that bubble gum weld. just make sure to seal it up to help keep the rust demon at bay.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    i did the same thing when i was running some WMO in my IDI. i did not have any luck with an electric pump keeping up with anything more than straight diesel in the summer. the electrics even fell behind when it got cold out with straight diesel. i just made sure i went with a Carter lift pump...
