    Cup holders

    Is this what makes the rockin' world go round? She could not only hold your cup, she could pour you another from the thermos.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I drove down Cummins Road and brought back an '88 crew cab flatbed. It takes about an hour to drive 15 miles down the washboard on that road. Had to ford a stream that had washed out the road about 5 miles in. It was about axle deep. I brought it back on the trailer behind my old green plow...

    Batteries 100% drained dead - new problem

    The only thing I'd do differently than beastmaster would be to start by pulling all the fuses. If that turns off the test light, then plug them back in one at a time until the test light comes back on.

    This is great! Following.

    Previous difficult cold start > Now it seems like not getting fuel and won't start at all

    I would give serious thought to putting a fuel shutoff switch on the dash, running a wire from the battery to it, then from the switch to the FSS. Flip the switch in the cab to turn on the fuel, flip it off when you're done. I like a pushbutton on the dash for the starter, too.

    Power glow plugs thru a switch straight from the battery?

    Another option would be to abandon the existing relay in place, and install a heavy duty relay where you can reach it, light gauge control wiring runs to the dash, heavy gauge power from the battery through the relay then to the glowplugs. I would put it on the driver side, and pull power from...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Put both switches in series so that both must be closed to power the pump.

    Return cap o-rings local source?

    McMaster Carr wanted $100++ to ship that 50 pack of viton orings to Alaska. They don't get much business from me.

    Broken Bell housing fix sort of

    That's clever, and might be stronger than the original. If it works on the back roads, I expect it will work on the highway.

    Replace a C6 with an e4od?

    I'd better ask my friend what year that frame, bed and drive line was.

    Replace a C6 with an e4od?

    Whew! VSS on the t-case means I have it. If it was on the rear differential it'd be a problem, because I didn't get that axle. I could swap in the newer t-case along with the newer transmission.

    Replace a C6 with an e4od?

    The tps I have, the tach sensor is probably still on the old engine. Where would the vss live?

    Replace a C6 with an e4od?

    I have the ragged-out engine that was in front of the e4od, so I do have the spacer.. The C6 isn't working right, so I'd rather pay to get the e4 fixed than the C6. If I'm going to put this on the road I'll want od, it's 100 miles to the big city.

    Replace a C6 with an e4od?

    I believe I have the cross member and tps from the parts truck the e4od came out of. Might have to have a drive shaft altered.

    Replace a C6 with an e4od?

    I just bought an '88 F250 Centurion with a C6. I have an IDI e4od sitting around. What would it take to swap it in to replace the C6? I figure I'd need an aftermarket transmission controller. I'd need to add a button on the dash. Does the tranny just bolt in, no spacers or adapters required...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Good to be sure, thanks. This would be a great candidate for converting to a manual, then!

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    It was yesterday, but I went out and dragged home one of the trucks I bought last winter. It's an '88 F250 Centurion 4x4 with an automatic...pretty sure it's a C6? The upholstery is faded, and so's the paint. It ran when they parked it 7 years ago. The only major problem with the interior is the...

    Anyone in Missouri have a decent rig for sale?

    @KansasIDI, there is a lot of heavy construction in Alaska, but probably no real scope for your specialty. We could have a much bigger cattle industry if we had a slaughterhouse, but right now herds are sized in dozens, because there just isn't a way to dispose of more.

    Yes, she bought a little Toyota, and started driving north yesterday with a friend.

    Do we have a source for the mesh guard on the intake manifold?

    Thanks, man, but Goat already sent me a couple, so I'm good.

    What is this on my precups?

    You have white, powdery looking deposits on some valves and the portion of the cup that's inside the combustion chamber. No clue, I've never seen that before.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I installed a new mechanical fuel pump in my '91 plow truck. The one I replaced went in last June, so I got about 10 months out of it. I've ordered a Walbro FRB-13 to have on hand in 10 months when this happens again.

    Odometer question

    The question with our old rigs isn't whether it rolled over, but how many times it rolled over.

    Injectors without o-rings... do any exist?

    Dregs Garage brass caps were expensive, and worth it. Not sure he's still in business? Definitely use viton orings.

    How good or bad is the E4OD?

    If you're going to have an automatic, e4od isn't terrible. The one behind my Powersmoke lasted many hard miles. Turn off the OD while towing.
