I was under the impression going electric and removing the mechanical takes away any chance of getting diesel in the crankcase? Or is that just for people that kept the mechanical in place instead of removing it?
Don't mean to hijack CP.
Apparently nope, myself included LOL
In all fairness the description did say solid axle style which I guess was meaning the solid bushing and not roller bearings.
Did you have to modify anything to fit the group 31's? I can't believe your group 31's were only 700 CCA's, seems like that defeats the purpose of going to the bigger group 31 that usually won't fit in standard trucks without modifications. Unless maybe 31's give more RC; seems like that is what...
So I guess the general gist is for the IH applications, 7.3, 6.9, 6.5 etc the roller bearing ones are still the way to go.
Is it worth throwing in that bushing ones that have the oil journal in them might be a good "middle ground?"
I don't think the international/ford ones have oil...
I must have misworded it.
I get the 10% cashback from using my credit card.
The $50 off is through Sears if you spend $400 on the batteries which would be the price initially. So anyone can get that.
I will go back and specify. I apologize for the confusion. ;Sweet
The ones you posted are ~$315 for two, the ones I posted after getting the $50 bucks off are only ~$360.
So if you are in a pinch sounds like both are a no go lol :dunno

That is what I am about to order right now and are also AGM design.
I get 10% cashback on my discover card getting them. Sears is also running if you spend over $400 which you obviously...
So is that basically the general consensus here that if Cpdenton opens em up and they have an oil journal to feed the bearing then they are good enough to keep and use?
But if not then we need to try and get our money back or sell them?
Also if he listed them as oem and had oem part...
Yep I am in the same boat as you guys.
Still waiting to see from you all if they are worth keeping, or trying to send back or what?
and so these are bushing bearing roller lifters instead of needle bearing roller lifters, but the bushing bearing journal is better then the needle bearing...
They both were fastened like they should be just the brake line stuck out a small amount and it was right where the filter came in on an angle.
I just zip tied it closer to make sure that it prevented it from knocking against the filter.
Im jealous man. You do good work.
I also hate that you can't get a stupid 3 gauge pillar pod for Bricknose trucks. YES I know you can modify an OBS one but still.
:dunno
Probably one of those things we will never know but they did in fact make them for the driverside bricknose trucks at least at one point in time. Who knows, it might have just been one of those things that were done just because and not any true reason behind like they have been known...
Yeah I tried looking for that the other night but I also don't know what to be looking for. I guess I am going to have to pull a fender to get to it?
Matt you are correct. When I talked to my guy about it he said that it won't come back with anything because it is a discontinued part. But...
Well update on this I finally got it ordered and installed.
If anyone is curious it is a huge filter lol, but that is to be expected since it holds a quart more and is originally for the PSD.
It is a 25,000 mile filter listed at 98.7% at 20 microns but I of course will be testing mine as I...
Any more detail on how to ohm them? I just picked up a multi-meter for these kind of things but I haven't used one much yet so I am still learning in that area.
Isn't the block heater a seperate heating unit? As in it should start easier with the block heater even if the GP's aren't working...
:eek: Jeez now I see why it's always being posted about. There are a lot of things that could allow air in especially when dealing with these being older trucks.
I knew about the driver and passenger side and it being for a 97. If you look earlier in the thread, it was posted that they dont think the bricknose all have one on that side but the obs does and should be the same style and the part numbers were posted for me to order. Which in fact I did...
Lol the MOAR was just a saying a lot of forums use when they need and want more pictures badly, I dont know how it started though LOL
As far as your post, good that's what I wanted to see :backoff
:D
