    Someone go get it!!!

    So this truck sold for $10.5K. I probably should have done this with my Centurion truck and sold it on Bring A Trailer as I believe it was even more period correct, and I had almost as much original paperwork, with no bodywork or respray like this one that just sold. I really figured somebody...

    Cooling system upgrade time

    I ran my red & white truck for more than a year without a cooling fan at all. The only fallout I had was you had to pay attention to when you could run the a/c. If it was really hot out you could not just let it idle with the a/c on blast, but as long as you were moving at 10+ MPH, no...

    4wd conversion is done.

    IMNSHO: Single cab duallys do not get enough love. They haul, tow and maneuver really well, and as a current crew cab and past extended cab owner, the percentage of time that the back seat has nobody in it is far greater than 51% of the time. Great looking rig and nothing but respect for...

    Cooling system upgrade time

    No idea why that doesn't work. Try going to www.parker.com and putting DC603-4 in the "What can we help you find?" search field. I promise the drain valve works better than the link I attached.

    Cooling system upgrade time

    This is the one I like best with the forged handle that never breaks off or rusts away. https://ph.parker.com/us/en/product/drain-*****/dc603-4

    Paint opinions

    I vote for black or grey accessories. I would consider doing the valve covers in a different color along with the accessories, but that's just my preference. Looking good, and nobody can say your engine bay looks too "cookie cutter".

    Does this E4OD selector cable connection look correct?

    Thank you for the detailed and referenced feedback. I’ll inspect the cab side connection as well as the cable itself this weekend.

    Does this E4OD selector cable connection look correct?

    So my shifter selector started feeling a little "less positive" than it used to, and it might just be old/worn, but I figured I'd take a look at it and it seems like it should be closer to lever rather than out on the end of the mount. I looked all over the internet for installed pics but all I...

    Good online source for cylinder head?

    Justin's work at R&D is pretty top notch. How long can you could live with your truck being down? If I used it to make money, I would run it but stay as far away from the rev limiter as possible. It's a gamble, and know that if you get some interference with that valve and the piston, it will...

    Happy Easter OB

    Have a happy and enjoyable Easter.

    What she worth?

    First and foremost: hang in there, keep your head up and keep looking for solutions. Lots of things possible for able bodied/knowledgeable folks and I think you have those two things covered. Keep in mind the rig you are considering selling is one of the most sought after bricknose trucks...

    DIY left handed ATV throttle

    Nice work JF. The lefty throttles were popular on mountain snowmobiles in the Northwest, particularly for sidehilling. Way to show off your hoarding and fabrication skills ;Sweet

    12V Cummins in lift truck?

    A friend of mine has an opportunity to acquire a 6 cylinder Cummins diesel in a towmotor. It sounds like it got the small individual valve covers and it's tan in color. Anybody over on this side know how to identify what generation Cummins this is (maybe by the injector pump?) and whether or...

    Sudden loss of oil

    Before you give up on your IDI, you might want to try a dose of AutoRX. I've had really good luck with using it in my old red & white truck.

    E4OD Won't move

    Like I said earlier, the resident E4OD expert has now spoken :p

    E4OD Won't move

    I agree it sounds like a torque converter issue. Hopefully it didn't fill your trans with metal, I'd pull the pan and see what's stuck to the magnet. If the pan doesn't show anything terrible maybe just a torque converter will fix you up? Hopefully the resident E4OD expert will chime in with...

    Another terrible loss..

    Very sad news indeed. I feel privileged to have known Russ as I would put him in the truly wonderful people I could call a friend category. Hard to see really good folks leave this world too soon.

    Hello Everyone

    Welcome to OB. Durability and parts cost will be very cheap compared to Cat and Dmax stuff. If yours is stock and normally aspirated it won't win any races but the simplicity and durability will be pretty hard to beat. Ask lots of questions, everybody here is pretty helpful and as a general...

    93 7.3 idk crank no start no smoke from exhaust

    IDI injectors from a company that has no feedback is most likely your issue. I would pull them and start over based on past experience with other injector suppliers. Order a set from RussRepair, lots of folks on this forum who would vouch for him personally. Keep at it, you'll get it running...

    What kind of fitting for injector pump inlet?

    If you want to do this on your own, do yourself a favor and go -5 male ORB to -6 JIC male, then make your turn and hose connection with a corresponding hose fitting with a female swivel nut. Part number should be a 6-5 F5OX-S (I only speak Parker adapters). If you really want to make it easy...

    Charging question

    If the batteries load test OK, I agree with Clb in that there's something going on inside the wire insulation. Good luck, wiring stuff is challenging.

    Bad oil leak at the base of the dipstick tube.

    There's an oring in there, you have a pretty common symptom, pretty well documented. Google search is your friend: there's some fixes out there that require a tool to hold onto the internal piece while you reseal it...
