    Wheel bearing tightness?

    Banging and popping doesn’t sound like wheel bearing issues to me. Have you look as at the I beam pivot bushings and radius arm bushings? That could explain some of your alignment issues. No harm in going back and rechecking your work. Maybe the high pitched tinging noise is something simple...

    Somebody better buy this truck!

    That’s what I was thinking, and that the very early PSD’s had Turbo Diesel badging.

    Somebody better buy this truck!

    New vehicle prices do a lot to drive up used vehicle prices. I think there’s been a permanent shift in the way new cars are sold. I don’t think you are ever going to see dealers with 300 or more new cars sitting on a lot again. Gone are the days of big rebates and model year close out deals. The...

    Help major tranny leak

    Check the fit of the ID of the new seal on the converter. If so, it should work. Your old seal is probably a better design in that the lip on it keeps you from driving it in too far, keeps it aligned correctly in the bore, and makes it easier to remove the seal without removing the pump from the...

    Somebody better buy this truck!

    Is that IDI or PSD? I can’t remember but I was thinking 94 could be PSD if manual, but maybe that was only as an auto I can’t remember.

    I pulled the old 86 out of the weeds

    I think it has to do with the factory line looping back on itself in such a way as to always keep a bubble of air in it. With Russ’s I literally hooked everything up, filled the master with fluid, opened the bleeder on the slave cylinder, closed the bleeder after fluid started coming out, pumped...

    I pulled the old 86 out of the weeds

    In addition to what Isaac said, there is a plastic retainer for the slave cylinder that is meant to stay in place and function as a bushing where you have added that hex nut. 1/16” here and there can add up to a significant amount of pedal travel. Also Russ @Type4 Russrepair.com has a new...

    Wheel bearing tightness?

    Assuming you’re talking about the front, that sounds correct. The only thing I would add is I like to roll the tire a couple times while it’s snug just to make sure it feels smooth. Tight but smooth, then back it off.

    Another option for studs

    Should be 1/2”-13 going into the block, and 1/2”-20 for the nuts on the top end.

    Help major tranny leak

    If you’re doing the rear main seal as well. Measure the old one first. If a wear sleeve was installed on the crankshaft, it takes a different seal. I don’t think it pertains to you but at some point maybe 93 or so I believe they were built new with the sleeve. I couldn’t find the right seal for...

    No bs radiator replacement

    It’s definitely not a consensus. I’d say thoroughly discussed and not settled. I have an aluminum and plastic one in my truck. It’s what was in it when I bought it. I have no issues with it. I generally don’t prefer an all aluminum radiator do to the way aluminum cracks with fatigue and...

    Garage Door Replacement

    It’s not that hard to do. I did the 3 on my shop by myself they’re 10’ wide x 12’ tall. Have you priced them insulated. The cost isn’t that much, but it makes a difference in both temperature and noise. There’s not much difference between the manufacturers. Go on price and availability.

    STURBRIDGE MA - where can I get towed to?

    It’s been quite a while since I messed with an IDI van, so I can’t recall how easy the filer head is to get to. But if you can get to the schrader valve on it, you can reprime the fuel system with a hand held vacuum pump like this. They are fairly inexpensive. The fitting that screws onto the...

    DTI Tech Time on the way!

    In my experience the mag probe works great. The only trouble is getting it to fit in the hole. The hole is 5/16" and my probe was 8mm. It was just a few thousandths difference. I removed the spring collar from the probe (that will make sense when you see it in person) and filed it down...

    Anyone near Pulaski, Tn

    That’s about an 1:45 from me. I’m definitely not looking for any projects right now though. Seems a little steep to me for a truck that needs engine work.

    HOW TO mount front winch bumper '94 F350 with RFS bracket ???

    I took a quick look at them (buckstop). looks like all their stuff is showing 16 weeks out on lead time. Just FYI

    Clutch noise

    Very well could be. If it’s got enough slop in it that it’s banging don’t wait to change it. It could be ready to come apart on you.

    1989 S1600 x Uhaul truck 7.3 IDI

    you can probably just start out by rotating the top of the pump towards the passenger side by the thickness of a dime or two. That should be a step in the right direction. It may get a little more clatter when cold , but shouldn’t once it’s warm.

    A list of questions while I'm into it this far

    New lift pump fixed it. It’s check valves were not checking. Fortunately I had the forethought to pick one up yesterday in town. It’s about a 45 minute round trip to any parts place from home. I used one of these to diagnose and double check everything. This is also what I use to bleed all the...

    A list of questions while I'm into it this far

    It really comes down to me assuming that the clutch guys were capable of doing what I asked for, and then them not being up front with me about their methods and capabilities. And then more fault falls on me for not doing more to verify their work before putting it in the truck. I was so...

    A list of questions while I'm into it this far

    So, my pump and injectors finally showed up. I was very excited to get the new parts installed. I got everything bled out and she fired up. I was immediately disappointed again. It felt better(maybe?, it had been a few weeks), but it still didn’t feel right. I set the timing. Again, maybe a...
