    Old vs. new PS pump

    saginaw pump shafts can be had in different lengths...i took a different approach and converted my ford c2 pump mount to saginaw after never finding the correct van bracket. works a treat but I need a different pulley, I'm using the same lines and pulley from the ford pump IIRC, works a treat...

    Does anybody still have the carburetor lid for the Banks PowerPack

    you probably cant share photos yet, but are you talking about the big rectangular setup? i have a non-wastegated banks turbo and dont need the whole intake hat filter housing thing... when you say messed the engine up, what do you mean?

    Brainstorming

    your engine is burning motor oil. Either the turbo is leaking oil into the intake area to be burned, or you have internal engine problems. If you know 100% that the engine has 114k then I would be looking at turbo shaft leak. In other words, an old injection pump / injectors CANNOT cause oil...

    Added Manual Glow Plug relay, now no power to IP shutoff

    When I'm home I can help you wire up a manual gp relay setup but you gotta find out the current issues. If you splice into the red with green stripe wire it's hot only on key on, use that to tie in for only being operable when engine on. Iirc have the big main hot power source, a splice from...

    eBay intercooler worth it?

    Another route is water to air, more complicated but there are pros and cons to it. You can do a reservoir and dump some ice in to lower charge temps more (towing or other performance needs), but you have to pump the coolant around. I'm thinking about reinstalling my mechanical lift pump and...

    Semi interesting experiment

    Please post pics of the setup, sounds neat. Is it a bypass filter or one of those rotary ones?

    Radiator temp

    I agree with oldbull, clean the ball up and make sure it moves, you don't want that hole wide open. If it gets clogged you would blow a hose off, that's what my UHaul engine did the first time I warmed it up. Dirty ball, cleaned right up and was fine after.

    Radiator temp

    Back when I put in my engine without a mechanical fan, I used five computer fans hooked up to the new fan controller, while I was waiting for my dual electric fans. They did the trick and then some, monitored them with a pair of pc heat sensors just in case. I wouldn't tow like that, but it was...

    1984 6.9 non-turbo blew coolant all over engine

    Blue is oil consumption, white is usually cold. Coolant won't blow either until up to temp, take it for a run

    1984 6.9 non-turbo blew coolant all over engine

    On my uhaul engine there was a ball bearing on the upper radiator hose mount, it was clogged up from sitting in a warehouse for a while. I had air in the system and this bearing helps bleed it, being clogged up I took the new engine for a spin and blew the radiator hose off after a short trip...

    Help(Fixed)! Driveline fell out (T-19) from failed U-joint

    all napa had were napa brand or skf, which seem to be good too. I got spicers on both ends of the driveshaft now

    Help(Fixed)! Driveline fell out (T-19) from failed U-joint

    Yep you are right, I saw that while I was under there. I'll have to look at how to drain and fill it. I threw a tarp on the mud and slid under there, was on the road in 15. No vibrations that I could feel. Felt good, seems like it locks in better now. The u bolts were fine

    Help(Fixed)! Driveline fell out (T-19) from failed U-joint

    spicer 5-1330X seems to be the right one, its sealed though. There are lots of opinions for and against sealed - sealed are stronger but greasable are servicable. I need to get the truck moving and trust sealed spicer more than greasable moog. ----- Getting ready to head back to the truck and...

    Help(Fixed)! Driveline fell out (T-19) from failed U-joint

    I just ran back into the garage, I need a ujoint that is 1.062 Inch on all 4 caps to hook the yoke to the driveshaft. I have two for the other end that joins the rear axle. Might have to settle for moog for the yoke ujoint then... cant seem to find any spicers in store online, but ill call around

    Help(Fixed)! Driveline fell out (T-19) from failed U-joint

    tube and yoke are perfect, popped all of the ujoints out in about 5 minutes once i had the crap. The yoke doesnt fit on the 1330 spicer 5-1204x, the caps are too large. Its looking like maybe this was just for the rear end connection like you said laserjock - oversized for the ubolts. Looks...

    Couldn't get to my jumbo vice but my second biggest popped them right out. Driveline is straight, scuffing from falling is hard to see in pics, I'll upload some tonight.

    Help(Fixed)! Driveline fell out (T-19) from failed U-joint

    I recall using a huge clamp with a small socket slightly smaller than the cap on one end, and a huge socket the cap could fit inside on the other and clamping down to drive them out. And then pressing them back in was easier than out. Called some shops, disconnected phones and one wanted 35$...

    I slammed my foot on the clutch pedal and pulled right over coasting. No pics been a hell of a few days, just got phone back from losing it Saturday. Minimal damage, thankfully I'll snag pics tomorrow
