    IDI Guy Stumped

    I agree, the original timing marks on the pump housing do not mean much at this point. To properly time the truck it has to be checked with a timing meter.

    Yes, I will share what my son and I find when we dig in. He is super excited to have his first truck!

    A Post I Don't Want To Make

    I have a neighbor with a bore scope, we still might have a go at seeing what we can do or at least get some pics of what happened (I found out he has an extra IDI also lol). From everything I have seen here I believe you are correct. I think the connecting rod most likely has a curve to it now...

    1992 rear axle

    no I don't, thanks for the suggestion. I should give that a try. I know lubricating the studs can have a dramatic effect on torque and opinions vary wildly on that one. I know lubrication can have a large effect on clamping loads. Enough that I remember talking to a fastener salesman when he was...

    1992 rear axle

    Thanks for the suggestion but I am single rear wheel, I have cranked my torque wrench up to 150 and now check them a couple days after I put everything together again and usually find 1 or two that work loose. My plan if I start driving the truck again is to switch over to some basic steel wagon...

    1992 rear axle

    I agree, I never really worried about it that much. What finally did it in was having a wheel come off and trashing my backing plate (I have trouble keeping lugnuts tight on these aluminum rims even with a torque wrench to 110 ft lbs) lol. good excuse for an upgrade. sorry for the thread highjack

    1992 rear axle

    My 94 F350 Crew had a semifloat axle in it when I got it. Ran it for years towing whatever. When I pulled it apart the bearings showed some wear but I never had a problem with it. I am sure someone swapped it in before I got it.

    It's fallen . . . and won't come out.

    I found it easier to pull the turbo with the lower cast mount intact when I was working on mine. of course depending on how your bolts have bonded together over the years that can dictate your course of action. IIRC the turbo mount bolts were impossible for me to break loose on the truck.

    Interesting gauge mounts

    That is what I did with my truck, I will have to snap a pic when I can.

    It's fallen . . . and won't come out.

    I pulled the engine with the turbo, transmission and transferase when I did the engine swap on my 94. It was a tight fit and I pulled the front clip off the truck but it can be done. The starter can come out, the hardest part is getting the right amount of extensions to reach the top bolt that...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Been there! I find it is usually because I always have something else more important to fix every time I have an extra moment. Or I have done something temporarily to get by and it keeps working so I keep using it!

    What all runs on vacuum?

    for what it is worth I agree with Brett from how the problem was described. It would still be worth pulling the rear brake drums and taking a look at the rear brakes. You dont mention loosing any brake fluid. I could believe that the rear caliper was damaged from heat when dragging and leaking...

    What all runs on vacuum?

    Some might say the driver LOL Like mentioned the HVAC, brake booster but I am not sure about the cruise. my 94 does not have any vacuum lines to the cruise. just a electrical plug and cable to the throttle, 92 might be different. anyway, I have had issues with the thin little vacuum lines...

    “The 6.9” project thread

    I have run into an issue with my aluminum radiator where the ears that hold the radiator cap bend up with pressure. I have bent them back down and made sure the cap seals but it bends back up over time and does not seal perfectly. The neck of the radiator is just not strong or thick enough to...

    "No user serviceable parts inside" no one tells me how to live my life, lets open this B*&#$ up! Haha I just noticed my signature is censored, apparently my W-i-l-l-y-s pickup is offensive.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I don't know, that looks like the edge of some flux on a trace. Worth checking out I suppose. It might be the relay itself on the board that is going out. Can you plug it in with the cover off and feel if it is clicking and putting out power?

    1989 F-250 7.3 Project

    I am sorry to hear about the motor, sounds like you have a solid plan to move forward now. live and learn, I try not to get my blood pressure up about things anymore, just figure out what to do for the next step and not to shoot myself in the foot again LOL

    1986 F-150 conversion thoughts

    he is not on here very much anymore but @Darrin Tosh did a clean 4bt on a F150 that he uses as his plow and run around truck on the car lot. He really liked it and thought it was a great fit. unfortunately I don't know many of the install details. I would have to search but he might have did a...

    Best clutch hydraulics

    one of the keys I have found for bleeding a clutch line is to pull the clutch pedal back. I was going nuts trying to bleed my clutch when I realized that the clutch pedal was not coming back far enough to expose the port inside the master to pull new fluid in. Once I did that the bleeding was...

    that's right, I was thinking you were farther east, you are more north so you have about the same drive as me, maybe a little less.

    Solid rear brake line.

    Those little brake line flaring tools are a little tricky to use. I have found on of the keys is to add some extra clamping on the regular clamp. Make sure the inside of the tube is de burred and they can be made to work. If I had to do it on a regular basis I would invest in a eastwood set up...
