    Glow plug Controller confusion?

    Op has a bullnose truck so his controller is the post in the back But he's correct anyway, he doesn't need anything going from the controller on the bullnose style since they just use a separate contactor. If you've got power on one side of the contactor on the two bigger main lugs, but not...

    Glow plug Controller confusion?

    Another thing to check are main grounds basically everywhere. battery's are most commonly the culprit, due to frequent removal/install. Bad grounds can present extremely strange, and sometimes unrepeatable scenarios

    Help please. 86 f250 6.9 idi non-turbo (another gpr thread)

    I don't mean to be contrary, but the silver one on the wheel liner is actually the glow plugs relay. Finding a fender mounted style starter relay capable of handling what our starters pull is very expensive and unpractical. Idi starters do what many starters do and run a constant 0/4 wire...

    Hypothetically speaking..... power level?

    I guess that's not horrible. Direct drive must have been spinning some serious rpms too. I guess if a decent block can handle that, it should fit most of my needs Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

    Hypothetically speaking..... power level?

    How do egts run at such a level? Can you tow heavy? In your video above things look ok, but was there any load other than standard gear? Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

    Hypothetically speaking..... power level?

    Ok, went through and read that, what rwtq , in your experience, would you assume tq of such a modded pump to be? in the 450ish Range? Also, I assume the electric pump negates the need for the "check valve" portion of the inlet fitting that gets removed? Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

    Looks like I'll hafta read up on the free pump mods, all I was really aware of was turning up the fuel and timing. Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

    Hypothetically speaking..... power level?

    Now that's more the info I was after. Are you starting with working pumps, or building them yourself! I seem to recall you've gotten into doing that right? Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

    Hypothetically speaking..... power level?

    I'm well familiar with the age old " Ford detuned the idit not to upstage the p.s" mantra, but this is more an apples to apples deal. 395k stock OBS 7.3 ps with a ts6, vs turned up turbocal pump w/factory turbo setup on a studded 6.9 block. Having owned a few stock turbo trucks, a few na trucks...

    Hypothetically speaking..... power level?

    What do torque numbers consistently hit with a setup like that? When I start building my 87' 6.9 for my 92 dually I'm wanting to match my stock powerstroke on the "tow" setting. Sounds like your getting there with all stock parts just maxed out Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

    It's not about drowning one though. A member here will tell you very quickly (I can't remember who at the moment) that water does not compress, and higher cylinder pressure lifts heads even at lower temps. Especially at times when you would want to spray like wot scenarios. So you may be right...

    So how would you attach it to the heads, I would assume some custom tigged runners? Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

    Clean/paint that darn intake snail. Come on you amateur! Kidding of course, just looks out of place with all the rest being so "complete". Looks great! Small opposing colors like the valve cover spreaders really pop in my opinion Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

    Bolt in seat options

    I've had one that had a factory bronco style setup, in fact I still keep the center console I took out for a cupholder in one of my regular cabs haha. I don't think those inner mounts will bolt to a factory crew cab pattern though. The extended cab had a different floor pan style in the middle I...

    Diff covers.

    Well even after watching the new video, I feel as though I've moved 25% closer to agreeance with his major stance that the square back to cover is the most relevant feature/ detraction of an after-market cover. The aeration is important, however when reviewing the original video doesn't seem to...

    Bolt in seat options

    The 92-94 version of your 90 model center console should bolt in, and those cup holders work ok in my opinion with the little "base" that pops out for bigger cups, but I don't know if you'll like it any better really than what you've got now... Depends on your preference really Sent from my...

    Bolt in seat options

    Imho, the wood cupholders are about as "functional" as any 90s era pickup. Ford or otherwise. Dodge truck didn't get a cupholder at all haha. If your truck is an extended cab, the oe center console from the captains chairs trucks should bolt in Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

    Bolt in seat options

    The wood cupholders were likely a Centurian or Mark V aftermarket conversion as I don't believe Ford ever put any real wood in their seats setup, but that should not change the interchangeability Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

    Diff covers.

    I don't think I agree with his logic on the shape of the diff cover controlling the flow of oil though. Centrifugal force dictates the throw off of oil at an angular direction from the ring gear is what causes oil to be scattered about the housing, not the oil "riding up" the cover. The oil that...

    Bolt in seat options

    Yes but corbeau seats have this Ridgid wing that sticks up your backside and brakes your tailbone whenever you try to get in like a normal human bieng. Im an extremely agile individual for my size.many on this forum would not consider themselves as such, and I imagine those folks would really...

    Sitting truck frozen drum brake advice

    It's a shame Ford didn't think to put threaded holes in these drums like several other manufacturers did to just thread a few bolts in and essentially "press" the drum off of whatever was holding it tight. If all else fails a slightly loose wheel and a several inch drop off a jack will usually...

    7.3 cooling mod

    I've got a "certified" 87'. 6.9 in the basement about to be torn down for a rebuild, so when I get the heads off, this will be the first thing that I will check. I've got the 7.3 style glow plugs system for sure on this block, but the flywheel seems to be a dual mass, and I read somewhere that...

    1992 F250HD dually conversion questions.

    A good compromise in form of a locker is a selectable but as to the Op.s original concern it is not really cost-effective looking at at least over a grand if all you do is the locker. Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

    1992 F250HD dually conversion questions.

    I've seen a Dodge 1 ton on 40 by 1450 tires get stuck on wet pavement in four wheel drive because it's front tire was over a curb. One instance does not a characteristic make. Nor does bad driving indicate a Vehicles total traction. I will certainly agree however that a pair of 285 / 75 / 16...
