    Ex Wife- my LONG term build

    Dually fenders take a beating from rocks that get stuck in tire tread and then ejected inside the fender. Mine have a few star cracks on top from rocks hitting the inside. Often wondered if I could adapt the fender liners from a step side bed to a dually fender... LMC Truck sells them. 1993...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Come down to the gulf coast.... But wait a couple days, its supposed to be getting real cold Sunday night, all the way down to 30 degrees. [emoji16] 1993 F350 Crew Cab Dually 7.3L IDIT with a Banks Sidewinder ZF 5-spd manual transmission

    Zf5 swap and engine swap

    If you rear drum brakes are not adjusted properly you'll get a spongy pedal. 1993 F350 Crew Cab Dually 7.3L IDIT with a Banks Sidewinder ZF 5-spd manual transmission

    Glow plug time issue.

    A disconnected and/or loose glow plug lead can do the same thing. 1993 F350 Crew Cab Dually 7.3L IDIT with a Banks Sidewinder ZF 5-spd manual transmission

    Dana 60 going in...eventually

    I've had good luck with Fluid Film too. I don't like rubberized undercoating as they can hide damage. Ever seen what happens when moisture gets under the rubberized undercoat (through a crack, pin hope, etc)? The water gets trapped against the metal and creates a bad rust cancer environment...

    Anyone in the Market?

    You would think the seller would at least TRY to clean the interior before posting the add! There is more dirt inside that truck than in my kids sand box! 1993 F350 Crew Cab Dually 7.3L IDIT with a Banks Sidewinder ZF 5-spd manual transmission

    Anyone in the Market?

    This is a conversion, Ford didn't build Extended Cab Dually trucks in the '80s. My parents had a 1985 6.9L 'F250' Extended Cab Dually. 1993 F350 Crew Cab Dually 7.3L IDIT with a Banks Sidewinder ZF 5-spd manual transmission

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I got tired of dirt, moisture, and leaves getting under my window trim promoting rust, so I got some small bulb house door weatherstripping and inserted it under the trim just far enough you can't see it. It has been working well, a lot less crud, and the hidden drains don't get clogged all the...

    Camber Adjustment

    The offset bushings shown in this thread are for king pins, I used them on my 1972 F250 2 wheel drive with twin I beam and king pins. Moog lists them for 1986 too. 1993 F350 Crew Cab Dually 7.3L IDIT with a Banks Sidewinder ZF 5-spd manual transmission

    Camber Adjustment

    I used to have a 1972 F250 2x4, when I had to fix camber I found out there were 'offset' bushings for the king pins, you might be able to find them for an 86. Edit, found the adjustable bushings, Moog has them: https://www.moogparts.com/parts/suspension/alignment-parts/adjustable-bushings.html...

    Electric Vacuum Pump?

    I converted my truck to hydro boost... which got me thinking, the only thing I need the vacuum pump for now is to operate the air conditioner controls which is very low demand. Anyone ever replace the vacuum pump with an idler pulley and use an electric vacuum pump in its place?

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I've thought about putting a 4X4 Zf-5 with transfer case in my 2 wheel drive... just so I could use '4-low' to backup with trailers at a slower, more sane speed [emoji16] 1993 F350 Crew Cab Dually 7.3L IDIT with a Banks Sidewinder ZF 5-spd manual transmission

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    This is a week spot on old Ford pickups. For some reason Ford refused to use relays for the headlights. 100% of the high and low beam headlight current runs through that connector and light switch. They are notorious for overheating and melting. A few fires have been reported too. Last time...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I was told that this is often caused by clogged filters at the gas station... and that you probably don't want to be pumping diesel into your vehicle if the filters are that clogged. 1993 F350 Crew Cab Dually 7.3L IDIT with a Banks Sidewinder ZF 5-spd manual transmission

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    After trying for several years to find a 'better' wiper, I found the expensive ones don't seem to really last longer (even the silicone ones). Went back to OEM style Trico blades. Found they last almost as long as the expensive ones, and honestly couldn't tell much differnce in wiping quality...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I think you need to turn down the IP a couple flats, shouldn't smoke that much. [emoji16] In all seriousness, hope you are OK, that can be an expensive loss. 1993 F350 Crew Cab Dually 7.3L IDIT with a Banks Sidewinder ZF 5-spd manual transmission

    Downshifting from 3rd to 2nd

    2nd gear syncros might be shot. Friend of my family had a ZF5 they would always start in 2nd... eventually they couldn't even get into 2nd gear. 1st gear in the ZF5 is not a 'granny gear' like the old 4 speeds (really 3 speed with a granny). It is intended to be used everytime you start out...

    What autozone/orileys coolant can I use?

    Saying 'all' extended life coolant is bad is a misnomer. You have to get the right kind of ELC Antifreeze, granted it may be hard to find at the local parts store. Myself and many others use Delo ELC which is designed specifically for diesel engines and to prevent cavitation...

    ZF5 Single or Dual Mass Flywheel?

    Truth be told, I believe the majority of people went with SMF because the DMFs have always been expensive. I had 215k miles on my DMF when it was replaced, but I'm pretty easy on my clutches, I try not to be abuse them. 1993 F350 Crew Cab Dually 7.3L IDIT with a Banks Sidewinder ZF 5-spd...

    ZF5 Single or Dual Mass Flywheel?

    I swear they didn't have this one when I replaced my clutch and flywheel a year ago... that or I was blind and missed it. I'm going to save my pennies now! 1993 F350 Crew Cab Dually 7.3L IDIT with a Banks Sidewinder ZF 5-spd manual transmission

    ZF5 Single or Dual Mass Flywheel?

    Can you even find a DMF anymore? I couldn't find one for my 93 IDIT. I personally would go back to a dmf in a heart beat, I miss how much smoother and quiter it was. 1993 F350 Crew Cab Dually 7.3L IDIT with a Banks Sidewinder ZF 5-spd manual transmission
