    Trailered home a 1989 F350 dump truck that looks great on the outside, but the 7.3 IDI is something else

    The 10.5 elockers fit the 10.25 sterlings. I believe you have to pay attention to short or long pinion design.

    Trailered home a 1989 F350 dump truck that looks great on the outside, but the 7.3 IDI is something else

    I have heard that the locker duallys do great regarding traction. The electric lockers are now pretty available/cheap if you have a sterling 10.25 axle. I have a set of chains for my dually, wish you were closer as I’d probably give them to you. Good luck whichever way you go.

    No vent on a 70HD?

    Here you go, and FYI you are not the only guy who’s been baffled by this vent design.

    No vent on a 70HD?

    Look at the brake line tee, I believe the vent is built into that tee. If the hose is missing it’s hard to find and I’ll bet you two drinks it’s clogged and causing your wheel end issues.

    Tires for 1991 F350 DRW - 235/85/16 or ?

    ^ Agree with above on spacers: dont use them on anything with more than 5 lug nuts. I’ve been running the Dynapros on my dually and they are quiet and grip well. I liked BFGs in the past on my 4wd stuff, but they are loud which is what you get with aggressive tread. Best of luck. Picking a...

    1994 Crew Cab F350, 7.3L IDI, Factory Turbo, Front Brakes: remove & replace calipers + rotor / hub assembly

    If it's 4WD F350, pretty sure it's got a Dana 60 in the front. Should only be one option for brakes on a D60 front axle. Others with more expertise will chime in, but I think you'll have more of an issue with finding somebody who stocks the rotors and calipers locally, but I think you'll be OK.

    The condition or the color was minty? :joker: Nice rig, welcome to the Powderchoke part of your diesel ownership.

    6.0 intake box

    One thing I was thinking of was the "holiday 50% off at the Pic-n-Pull", where you really might be able to score the battery tray as well as the air box cheaply. I know that most 6.0 PSDs get parted out before they get to the junkyard, but there's a lot of those trucks out there. Either way...

    9 years in the woods

    Very cool rollback. Just wondering: what's the powertrain? I'm guessing stock that should have come with a normally aspirated 6.9 with a T-19, PTO coming out of the transmission?

    6.0 intake box

    I thought the lower EGT and response were pretty nice results, especially considering folks who might not want to do an intercooler. By the way: the filtration of the Donaldson 6.0 filter is considered to be some of the finest available, even being a 20 year old design. If you want to make...

    6.0 intake box

    Kudos to staying with it when this install kept adding parts and money. Great documentation and pics too I wonder how feasible this would be on an OBS truck. Any comments on whether you think this would fit in an OBS engine compartment?

    E4OD IDI transmission with billet converter

    Let me know if you are still interested as I have some time off in the coming weeks.

    Wiring harness and thinking about selling

    My buddies 6.7 Ram just lost the wastegate actuator, apparently from not ever exercising the exhaust brake. After doing goofy boost stuff for a while, it gave him a check engine light and wouldn’t make any power. >$1000 for the replacement part, and the truck was inoperable until he replaced...

    E350 / E-350 XLT 1993 7.3 IDI Radiator?

    Unless all the fins are paper thin and turn to dust when you lightly run a finger over them, I would try to keep the old radiator if at all possible. I would pull it out using lots of caution, an extra set of hands, and cardboard covering front and rear fin areas to prevent any "whoopsies" as...

    Arctic Ambulance

    Sweet rig. Keep it normally aspirated or find somebody very small, double jointed or both when you need to work on it. I love driving and camping in vans, but I’d rather gather snake venom than work on a van. Working on a turbo’d van is like gathering snake venom in a dark closet.

    LuLuBelle is possessed!!!

    As a friend of mine likes to say concerning any “pre-carnage”: this factoid seems suspect. I’ll bet two dozen chicken wings there are bulged, broken or missing springs on your DMF. Pictures will be required please.

    Mechanic needed near Rock Hill SC (just south of Charlotte)

    Just found out that my buddy’s son is moving. I’ll delete the other thread as soon as I can figure out how but I thought a fresh thread might get more interest. Thanks in advance for any input.

    Holley Red are garbage, what else quickly?

    Just keep in mind when you are looking for old NOS parts that have seals or diaphragms in them, the shelf life definitely matters. Better original built quality vs. the potential for a dried up seal and/or crusty mating surfaces.

    Just wondering: what's your mileage like unloaded? Speaking from my own CCLB experience: that's a heavy truck.

    underbody/frame coating recommendations

    After a couple of days to observe, I can tell you that the bar and chain oil definitely has a tendency to drip if overapplied just a bit. I think you've got the perfect recipe with the wool wax/bar n chain oil mixture. Now you just have to find a couple of friends to split the 5 gallon bucket...

    7.3 idi fuel filter light but worse

    You are pulling air in from some leak in fuel system. If you want to verify, do a quick search on "clear fuel line" and you'll get an idea of how to install a clear plastic line so you can see the bubbles from the air intrusion. Last question: what's your fuel gage reading? Might be as...

    $745 Driveshaft games

    If there was a "sexiest driveshaft" category, I think you would have a legitimate contestant. Just wondering: what driveline shop in the greater Portlandia area put that together for you?
