    New truck

    That's a nice looking truck! Glad you were able to find a nice IDI to get back into.

    C6 to ZF5 clutch hydraulics question

    To me it would be easier to get a new MC. They're like 20 bucks for a good one. Not worth the hassle drilling the holes.

    Impressive! Glad it was a good trip. You're mileage seems OK to me pulling through the hills like that. And would expect it to come up a bit as discussed. :Thumbs Up

    No gears at all until engine is shut down,restarted,then gears - E4OD

    I know nothing about auto transmissions. Other than they take ATF. But would a solenoid hanging up reset itself when the engines turned allowing the system to bleed pressure and reset the solenoid?

    Flashback Friday, my first IDI.

    This is my 89 in 2003. I bought it in 1998. In this picture it was already swapped to 4x4 with alcoas. Today.

    Steering and suspension

    Checked you're pinion yoke? Mine's loosened up a couple times now. Normally is more of a vibration than anything. I have the same feeling in the back of my F350. I've thought about building some axle wrap bars to help hold it in place. But haven't yet. I just did Bilstein shocks and it seems...

    Better cooling theory

    Interesting. I have my heater core bypassed when the a/c is on max. Next time I'm getting hot I'll try putting the a/c on normal and let it flow through the core again. See if the restriction helps.

    Oil at the add mark

    I run mine 1/2 way between the full and add marks. It's about a quart to bring it to full. If I leave it there it stays there a long time. If I go to full mark it consumes that quart very quickly.

    Does this sound right?

    Sounded ok to me. These things are loud and noisy. I'd time it and see how it does. Maybe timing related fuel knock? I hear maybe a click noise but nothing id be too worried about.

    Oil Pressure Gauge

    I had a bad dash gauge that did that.

    Yeah where did you end up on timing? If it was me I'd drive it. Especially empty to get a feel for it.

    You pull it again with the hitch on it now? Any difference?

    Project Big Red

    Definitely check timing. Makes a huge difference. The lack of boost seems weird. You're outside my knowledge area with the intercooler and upgraded turbo. Have you had the alignment checked yet? Is there a chance it needs more caster? Are you running overloads on the rear? If you need an...

    Project Big Red

    Mike Well done! Finding gremlins will go on longer than expected I'm afraid, and I hope you don't experience that. Run the wheels off it just like you're doing. You've done an epic amount of work. So there are a lot of little things that could crop up. I run V-belts and Serpentines. Truthfully...

    The wiper switch is different for delay and non delay. So if you remove the delay box you will need the non-delay switch also. Damn, It's like a fully functioning truck now! Nice :Thumbs Up too slow.....

    Fuel pressure problem

    I hate to say it, but have you tried cooling the injection pump down when it dies? That's a typical heat soak test. I know you have a new injection pump, but as you seem to have fuel pressure it leads me to the injection pump. Does it die returning to idle or just turn off? My 93 would die...

    Towing temps boost pyrometer and gears

    Something seems wrong here. I would expect more from you're setup without major work. MY 89 is a CCLB 4x4 zf5 3.55 with stock 7.3 and ATS 093 turbo. Factory tire size. I turned the fuel up several flats when I added the turbo and tightened up the wastegate. But I can pull 22K gross reasonably...

    T-19, Flywheel, Clutch, NP205 transfercase

    I'm in NW iowa 51046. I'm not against shipping on a pallet, but it will probably double the price.

    T-19, Flywheel, Clutch, NP205 transfercase

    I'd go $250 on the transmission and parts. The transferase is sold.

    Bricknose HVAC control question

    This is the way both my trucks are setup. Works great. I've done the vacuum line over the rotted white line also.

    If you need to throw some tape on the fender corners so the bumper doesn't accidently hit them during install. Oh and an engine lift can be great for bumper install. You know all this. Just reminding. Sometimes in the heat of battler I know I don't thinker real well. Looking Great as always...
