    Alternatively Amazon sells a two pack of fleetgaurd (Cummins) wf 2071. Great price on a great product

    Cow Catcher

    Also the psd won't turn on the alternator withought a psd tach or some custom work, I don't think the idi cares either way, but I've never tested that one

    Cow Catcher

    Done lots of cluster work. Have large portions of an idi cluster in one of my psd trucks right now. What's wrong with yours? Parts of them are interchangeable, other parts aren't. The speedometers are universal so far as my experience, if what I've found holds true, they all had the capability...

    1984 6.9 radiator re-core cost

    Yeap, got a ranger in the driveway with the exact same problem. Also have an idi in the yard with a copper brass radiator that did exactly the same thing too. And a powerstroke w/a nice mishimoto aluminum radiator that blew up at a weld seam. Again, not defending how many are made, but it's...

    Do I need new front leafs

    Yea nobody but people who are really familiar with the ttb know anything about them. If it's not from a desert racer or someone well versed in one fords, you can just about bet it's wrong any more unfortunately. Almost everything about these trucks is different than "normal". You'll really get...

    1984 6.9 radiator re-core cost

    Not that I'm certain or have inside info, but from a reasonable standpoint, the same reason you don't make the block out of it. Very low torque handling capability, more shatter/ breakage prone, cost to mold it in that shape. The material that radiators function based off of is not 100 percent...

    1984 6.9 radiator re-core cost

    Risky statements coming -Plastic is technically a better thermal conductor than even aluminum. The reason most say stay away is because it's more prone to crack and leak at the mating surface than it's all metal (and welded) counterparts. No doubt in an idi's case it's true. At this point...

    Do I need new front leafs

    Nope, factory reverse arch. But they do settle over time and may be a little worse for wear. In my opinion, add a leafs are the best "repair". Anytime I've added a least to a ttb pack, not only did it help bring the front back up, but the ride actually gets a little softer because of the load...

    Emissions testing in Nashville area

    Yea but if he's in Cali, the highest middle TN prices we have will seem like chump change. The massive influx of people has certainly raised the rates. I won't make this about why people are leaving Cali in droves, but please remember if your coming here, help keep it the way that makes it a...

    How can I tell if I have a dually rear end

    I'll never be one to deny the truth, upon a new measurement of a couple of the 10 obs axles I have at the house, 65" looked correct for the srw, disregard my earlier post.

    How can I tell if I have a dually rear end

    While they may be close to dodge measurements as well, the srw 10.25 is definitely wider than 65" wms to wms, the dually wheel only needs about another .5" to actually bolt on to a srw axle and clear the leafs. I can probably measure again this evening to be sure, but I'm 99% certain of those...

    How can I tell if I have a dually rear end

    As well as (on the 70 that is) it has to be from a pretty rare truck. 81-85 pickup bed dually. Pretty uncommon where I am. I've never actually seen one, but far be it from me to say they didn't exist. I've seen several things I didn't think existed on our trucks factory haha.All 86-96 hd axles...

    Engine shutoff and dragging start at normal temps

    You're right it is only one wire, but bear in mind that one wire is enough.the fuel shut off solenoid is what needs power to keep the engine running. Bear in mind too that as heat increases so does every negative aspect of anything electrical, like connection issues,resistance, anything that...

    Engine shutoff and dragging start at normal temps

    Also, did you check your alternator output/ battery voltage? As well as the other connections? May just have a hot ground main lead working loose since it got buried or something. Bad grounds do wired things

    Found another one. 1994 f350 factory turbo.

    I can't believe the cab visor was still there. If shipping it wasn't such a risky and expensive thing I'd ask you to grab it for me, but to my dismay, it is.It took me 3 years to find one ,and it's gonna need repair at that.

    $5 Ram Air Intake?

    Oh ho ho ho.....it's not that I don't know other,better,options exist, it's that all of this setup (excluding a new Spectre cone air filter that's shelf stock at O'Reilly's) was 100% free! That was the point of this 1/2 million mile beast, and honestly everything I own at this point, that good...

    $5 Ram Air Intake?

    Flexible dryer hose has been my go too for years now, over 30k miles on my powerstroke setup .

    electric fuel pump conversion

    That's good to know, and I may even steal your idea on the high idle as the signal as well, I hadn't considered that until you mentioned it. It really seems like a great idea given that it would keep the pump running with the rest of the "automatically controlled" factory startup systems.

    3G Alternator Question

    Yea but on an idi the gpc cycles off almost immediately after the truck starts. As for a quality "drop in" replacement electrical component https://www.dbelectrical.com/products/alternator-4-2-ford-pickup-van-97-04-4-0-explorer-ranger-95-01.html Good quality rebuilders right here in my state...

    Defrost only, no vents or floor

    It's extremely rare, but there is also the possibility that the selector head has failed. It would be the absolute last place I checked as I've never seen that part of one fail before, just the electric part of the head. As stated above, you almost certainly aren't getting vaccum to the head in...

    electric fuel pump conversion

    Ah yes, that's exactly what I was thinking. I suppose time will tell how he likes it in the long run

    electric fuel pump conversion

    Since this thread it moderately active, how about a " different" idea that came in passing the other day T's at both the inlet and outlet side of the mech pump, and a switched e-pump to prime the system. Using a check valve so as not to push fuel back through the mech pump obviously, I can't...

    PSD Oil fliter

    Lf9027 from fleetgaurd if you want "the best" it's one of their Venturi stratapore dual media bypass and full flow . Bigger than the factory psd filter but still fits the idi. The 9691 that holds almost a gallon just barely doesn't fit. It does on a PSD. If price is something that causes you...

    Vinyl tubing and diesel fuel?

    I hate that guy. For some Reason though, I can't help but watch some of the craziness. He might be alright in person, but his YouTube personality is just too rancid

    Experience with GV install anyone?

    Even a 4x4 though, the t case stays in the same place, as the gv mounts rear of it. so the drive shaft to the front axle doesn't need any change. That's really my only complaint with a gv, I'd like to be able to split whatever I'm doing, not just 2wd. It's not really a big issue, I can't think...
