    underbody/frame coating recommendations

    Resurrecting this thread. I used one can of fluid film on the front frame section on my truck. I think it stuck pretty well, I can see the wax/stays where you put it advantage, but I wasn't crazy about the coverage and I felt like it would have taken 5 cans to do what I wanted to do on my...

    17 years later I did a compression test

    It’s unlikely that you have one cylinder that’s got varnished rings, but it’s not impossible. I recommend AutoRX as one of the only fix in a bottle I’ve ever used with excellent results every time. It’s hard to find, but worth it for applications where you need a slow but effective cleaning...

    Where to buy a turbo bumper cutout insert

    I say put it off to the side. I think it looks like "I need airflow and I mean business" :fight: If it's cool enough for a Raptor, it cool enough for your warmed over bricknose!

    Monroe gas Magnum

    Others will chime in I’m sure, but I’ve installed lots of shocks including Monroe Gas Magnums. Your performance description is typical. IMNSHO, when it comes to these trucks, you can buy Bilsteins or spend less and get less performance.

    97 12v in a skoolie.

    Welcome to OB. There's not a ton of traffic for Cummins stuff here as the majority of the content is 6.9/7.3 Navistar. Just trying to let you know if you don't get a ton of participation, don't be surprised or frustrated. My suggestion would be to look towards a more 12V Cummins specific site...

    Anybody need a good deal on a 7.3 PSD clutch kit?

    This looks like a very good deal to me. Wish I needed one. https://columbus.craigslist.org/pts/d/galena-clutch-kitsolid-flywheel-for/7675062678.htmlg

    Wiring harness and thinking about selling

    So here’s my opinion: the lift and big tires are really hurting you regarding towing. The “doggy when towing” is all relative: I pulled my race car over several passes in a normally aspirated IDI. Was it ideal? Nope. Did I spend a lot of time in third gear with my foot to the boards until...

    Vegetable Oil Off The Shelf

    The only shortcoming with soy or canola is low temp and/or blending issues, but down where you are I don't think you'll have any issues. I say go for it, especially if you like the way it smells :) One more thing to consider: it's common in many states for diesel pumps to be B5 or even...

    another possible cab swap

    You missed a number on the medium duty, sometimes referred to as "business class" :joker: I know, I know: you are going to use what you have, and you have an F350. Still an awesome swap IMNSHO ;Sweet

    another possible cab swap

    "Basterd Powertrain Hybrid" :rock: I love it as it irritates the Ferd and Chebby crowd, as well as any purists who just love stock because it's stock. Go for it, sounds like good old fashioned swappers guide cool :cool

    Keep cracking heads

    +1 with JoshBear on the fact that you have an odd issue. IDIs do a lot of goofy stuff, but cracking between the valves isn't very common. One additional question: is this issue happening on the same head(s), or have you swapped heads only to have a different head crack in a similar place...

    Bolt down system for truck canopy

    Nice fabrication work ;Sweet Kudo's to you for being a packrat and saving the old bed off your truck. Nice write up/documentation too. As an OBS with canopy owner, my view is pure jealousy.

    Slow crank after possible overheat

    Best guess is that is carbon build up from infrequent oil changes. If it was my truck, I'd suggest a couple things if they want to keep it a long time: Clean and reshim all the solenoids. My truck had some cold start roughness at just over 100K, and all the solenoids needed to be shimmed. It...

    Got to do a rear brake job.... any advice?

    I was just inside of my dually rear brakes last weekend, it's a 1995 and the drums definitely slide off. You are in California, so they shouldn't be stuck on, but just in case they are, be patient and use the extra holes in the drum as well as the holes for the studs to apply the penetrating...

    Advice: Tire valve extensions /TPMS/ Pressure EqualizersDRW

    Thanks to all for the collective info and recommendations. I appreciate all the insight on the stainless steel valve stems, and I will go that route when I replace the tires, but I wanted to be able to remove/replace a leaky stem on sight without breaking down the tire. I figured this might...

    Need Part # and /or Source for Park Brake Actuator

    I'm betting you've got to buy the whole "brake hardware kit", which will come with all the springs, bushings, washers, keepers, etc. Sucks to have to buy all the other stuff you don't need, but at least it will all be shiny and new when you are done. Good luck in your quest for the one high...

    WTB Clean ‘93-94 Ford F250/F350 IDI 4x4

    Buy Stu Bailey's truck, and agree to give him first right of refusal to buy it back when he gets back. You'll get a great rig at a fair price because it's built into the potential buyback program. Everybody wins :cheers:

    Selling the rig

    That's a super nice rig. I really liked my old 1992 F250, and 160K is pretty low considering that truck is now 30 years old. IMNSHO, you should consider two things: 1. If you really want to sell it, you have to put a price on it. 2. You should really consider keeping it. I don't know how...

    1989 F250 Stage 3 Intercooled T04Z for Sale (PA)

    So I gotta ask: what medium duty platform are you going to build? I'm just curious what GCWR you are going after with what I can only guess would be a more pumped up IDI. As the National Enquirer used to say back in the 80s: "Enquiring minds want to know." :popcorn
