    F-superduty Hydroboost have a filter?

    Hey I was looking at parts for my hydroboost and there was an inline filter shown. It looked like an AC system orifice tube. Is there a filter in the hydro boost system somewhere? And if there isnt' should there be? I'm wondering if I have a dirty hydroboost and was looking to add a fitler. Or...

    Window motors, any good sources or all junk?

    No kidding, I'm amazed at the lack of love for the crew cabs.

    Window motors, any good sources or all junk?

    I got tired of crap windows and bought the Dorman Window regulator with Motors. They work great. Best my windows have ever worked in my 89. My theory is the regulator starts getting tight from rust and lack of lubrication and kills motors. The new regulator and dorman motor design seems to work...

    My new Shop Truck

    So process question here. Are you going to paint over the rock guard stuff? Or do you have to mask it off? I love these. I would buy a Jetta just to do this. My neighbor has a jetta and I keep trying to talk him into this.

    Don't run Sketchy Bearing locks

    Running around saturday and almost lost the front hub off my 89 crewcab. Overall no damage, just my pride. The bearing retainer looked sketchy when I did the brakes and swapped locking hubs a few weeks ago so I ordered new ones, but hadn't put the new ones in yet. That was a bad choice. I'm...

    Bummer....7.3 bit the dust

    92 and 88 should be fine flywheel wise. 93-94 factory turbo trucks have the different flywheels. Wow! that sucks. I have a hard time believing the 5-speed swap had anything to do with it. Broken cranks are not common. Sorry you get to experience that. Jeremy

    Pondering Glow plug issues.

    That's funny. I've always used a 10mm to do my glowplugs. I went so far as to cut down a 10mm deep socket for easier access on #5 and #7 around the turbo. Never dawned on me they were english. Should have known. Interesting on the controller though. So if you have a good controller, but the...

    A pleasant surprise

    Or hit rock auto. It's 158 on there, but shippings probably 20 bucks. I love LUK clutches. They are the only ones I install. One last question. Did the flywheel come off a Factory turbo truck? The factory turbo trucks take a different flywheel than the N/A trucks. The Flywheel you need would...

    T-19, Flywheel, Clutch, NP205 transfercase

    I don't know how to edit the add. I'd do $400 on the tranny and parts. $200 on the transfer case.

    89 CC build thread Frame off resto!! - Bad Idea

    Well quick update. I finally got my 5-speed and 1356 swapped into my truck. I took it on a 4 mile drive last night see if it worked and it did. I think I'm going to like the 5-speed. My US gear made it more challenging than I had hoped. I replaced a T-19 and NP205. The T-19 was fine, but the...

    Worst case cut out a pice to gain clearance. Then build a small dog house to put back in. I'd consider riveting the piece back in myself. That way you can bedline it or other coatings ahead of time. No reason to screw up any more existing coatings with weld heat.

    If you tilt the cab a 1/2" in the front will the body seem bent in the middle between the bed and cab? Body lines not seeming straight down the side? Possibly bed to cab gap not being consistent top to bottom? Not trying to be a fly in the ointment. Also what about beating the hell out of the...

    I'll work on getting some pictures up in the next few days. I just swapped a 5-speed and 1356 transfecase into my truck and have some parts for sale. I will ship, but this stuffs heavy so it won't be cheep. 1. T-19 Transmission. Was rebuilt while I had it. Shop did synchro's and bearings and...

    how does this even happen?

    Other guys have used the girdle from R&D I'm sure. So why are you the first guy to have issues? I have a hard time believing the others installed them much differently than you. Thanks for tearing it apart. Amazing that a water leak was what initially doomed this engine. WOW.

    I've got a Devilbiss Finish Line 3 gun for priming. With a 1.8 tip it's done really well for me. I know they talk about turning down the air for primer sometimes. Higher air pressure means finer droplets less orange peel. But with primer you need to move some volume and peel is less of a...

    Sides look great. Yeah the roof looks like it's going to need some sanding. I know cause I've been there. I've had the exact same issue. What devilibiss gun do you have? I don't remember. I'm surprised a 1.8 wouldn't do it.

    When I use W&G I use a spray bottle to apply the product. Then use two paper shop towels to wipe it down. 1 is the initial wipe and the second is the second wipe. Once the first 1 gets too loaded I use the 2nd rag as my 1st stage and get a new 2nd wipe rag. I typically have wet spots also when...

    Yeah that primer looked good to me. I'm impressed you were able to prime the whole cab and doors in one shot like that. I would caution though on painting that much at one time. Painting jambs is a different gun setup than painting the outside for me. If I hit jambs with my full size I end up...

    Clutch slave bleeding problems

    Used to be the guys talked about removing the slave from the mount. Keep the bleeder closed. Push it against the frame or transmission. It moves a lot of fluid and pumps up much quicker then. Basically pushing air out the slave by pumping it VS the master. Heath and towcat both have...
