Bump steer issues on twin I-beam F350
The issue started this winter, I though I simply had a bad alignment at first, the steering wheel was tilted 2-3 degrees to the left but one day suddenly it was tilted to the right a few degrees. Now that it's spring time and the roads are truly disastrous with the thaw, the issue got worse, if...- WMO4IDI

Has anyone ever tried maxing out cetane boost in synthetic WMO to avoid friggin' around with the timing?
With the price of diesel reaching over 7,60$/gal in the glorious Chinese Republic of Canad'uh!, I'm kicking WMO production into high gear. My access to high quality hydraulic oil isn't sufficient enough to keep me rolling full time but I do have access to loads of used (mostly) synthetic motor...- WMO4IDI

Single vs double V-belt on 3G alternator upgrade - can someone clarify this for me?

Thinking of making a reusable oil filter from stainless steel sanitary pipe, fishing for your thoughts.
I've been juggling the idea of making a reusable oil filter from as many readily available parts as possible for a while now, stainless steel sanitary pipe seems like the best option. Obviously the core is the most important part, stainless steel wire mesh is easy to source, which leads to...- WMO4IDI

'89 F350 - ABS junk system and safety inspections
I finally received my fresh & Ford certified Vin Label sticker from Marti Auto Works (4 months wait time...) and discovered that someone at the DMV along with a previous owner falsified the GVWR numbers on my truck's registration. Registered as 4499KG (9919lbs) which meant it didn't require an...- WMO4IDI

Electrical adventures thread - I blew or burned out something...
Well, what started out as a fun electrical project turned to crap. My '89 F350 has had lots of mods done to it, mainly a big rig sleeper cab installed & lots of lights... so many unholy electrical splices done under the dash by POs and it bit me in the ****. The two main projects I was working...- WMO4IDI

Tachometer wiring from sensor to instrument cluster question.
I've been hunting a tachometer issue since I bought my truck, it's basically dead now. It used to work on and off, changed the sensor on the IP to no avail, a good slap on the dash sometimes helped it give a reading. Before I go looking for a newly used tach on Ebay, I want to fully rewire it...- WMO4IDI

Priming/bleeding after fuel tank & line overall, can't seem to prime injector lines.
I finished my new fuel tank install, fuel tanks >>> R12T filter >> ACDelco FSV >>> mechanical lift pump. The truck hasn't ran since early october when I got a huge fuel leak before the lift pump & air got in everywhere. That's when I decided to finish the new tanks instead of just fixing the...- WMO4IDI

Another fuel system overhaul thread...
In parallel to my PoBoy wmo centrifuge project I posted, I've made 2 custom aluminum fuel tanks & I'm redoing the entire fuel system. I was hoping to get some input from more experienced IDI guys. What my plan is: Driver side tank is clean D2, passenger side is WMO & once my flatbed is built...- WMO4IDI
