    1992 F250HD dually conversion questions.

    Snow is I think the only place in which the duals may not help, because of reduced poundage per square inch. However given the fact that your only adding two rear wheels, I would venture to say that halfing the pressure is not quite accurate. I may be wrong on this count, but if you consider the...

    1992 F250HD dually conversion questions.

    I think the weight of a typical dually really has hurt the popular opinion on them. Contact patch (aka total tire width contacting ground). Is 100% directly relative to traction, just like airing down/wider tires. As well as the potential to catch different ground (been in several scenarios...

    WTB Banks Timing Cover Adapter 94042

    Yup, running that exact setup on my 92 turbo. Used it when I added the turbo Edit- upon rereading your post and the location of the post, I see you were wanting to buy one. I don't have one for sale, but I do know banks still sells them new for less than $50 Sent from my Moto Z (2) using...

    Rear ends

    If I understand what you're saying you're going to try to install the axle on the premises of the junkyard? If that is in fact the case I would urge you to reconsider. while it is 100% possible, it is ill advised unless you have a team of help and a pretty decent mobile tool outfit. Things...

    Rear ends

    All said and done though a $7 harbor freight set of calipers will tell you everything you'll ever need to know on Wich u joints you need. There aren't any trade secret designs or setups that require anything more than an off the shelf joint, albeit maybe a second grab from an inexperienced...

    Rear ends

    Right. I should have worded it a little better, i was trying to answer the questions with the info that should explain what you might need to make it work. The part number your looking for is 5-648x I believe. There are actually two different 1330 joints though so don't hold me 100% to that.i...

    Rear ends

    1. The yokes are not long/short pinion interchangeable. 2.the auto trucks got 1330 u joints, the manual trucks got 1350.some autos got 1350, but who knows why...doesn't seem to matter 250 or 350, chassis cab excluded due to option variation. 3. 1330 to 1350 u joints can be had at nearly any...

    Transmission dipstick on turbo swap

    There are certainly ups and downs to being the big retailer. I wish giving them an earful would matter, they don't much care what "store level" folks have to say. It's the corprate level they care to impress. As long as the corprate contract stays in place, store level folks can cry a river for...

    Transmission dipstick on turbo swap

    I work for banks' single largest retailer, so I got it through work, on a stock order directly from banks. No instructions, no anything. Normal banks type packaging. Not that I'm at all surprised about a lack of instruction packet that they usually have. I called prior to purchase, and...

    Transmission dipstick on turbo swap

    Just for those who may be interested, I bought the banks piece. Definitely not the whole tube. I haven't even attempted to install it, as I haven't found another stock one yet. It looks to either mount in the tranny and extend it up, or stick in the old one on top. I'd have to see the oe in...

    With a heavy heart......

    Long before I joined as a member, as a highschool kid I remembered reading posts from him that were just the information I was looking for. I never met him. I never even did as much as post on a thread he had been on. Yet I learned a lot from him. Thanks, not just for sharing info on old Ford...

    Air Conditioning Wiring Question

    It will continue to run if the system is even just slightly overcharged. Even still, it would take a very very long time frozen to do any real damage. My dually that I've propane converted will freeze up in about 20 minutes regardless of all other factors because the coil averages about -2 'f...

    Air Conditioning Wiring Question

    I guess I'm more used to obs trucks than brick nose that the op is concerned about in Wich the diode is not immediately obvious and awg is larger. certainly not saying it isn't there, but I don't remember seeing it. The awg on all three obs trucks I have is certainly larger than 12, maybe not 8...

    Air Conditioning Wiring Question

    It might, I've not seen the schematic, but the wire gauge is definitely much smaller on the p.s. feed than the compressor feed. Probably around 12awg to the compressors 8ish awg. It would probably be fine for a long time, but Id always rather be safe than sorry Sent from my Moto Z (2) using...

    Air Conditioning Wiring Question

    The op had acknowledged that. His intent was to just run it through the pressure switch essentially. On that note, a relay may be ideal, I'm not sure if the pressure switch is up to the current draw of the clutch

    You guys that did a Dana 60 swap: Alignment etc?

    On the students, some are actually nuts, not sure of a metric to determine production of Wich are/aren't, but I know a few are, and I believe they are on the engine crossmember if I remember correctly. If everything is tight as you say, I'd look at castor/camber split numbers as stated above...

    You guys that did a Dana 60 swap: Alignment etc?

    "squaring" the axle is called thrust angle. On the front you can eliminate problems with thrust angle by using your toe and steer ahead so most alignment machines don't even measure a front thrust angle,usually just rear. For the most part the same is true for a bent housing although bending a...

    Air Conditioning Wiring Question

    There's always an option for a manual switch when it comes to wiring. Your main problem in my opinion would be your HVAC box because the heat only models did not come with the same design box as the evaporator coil equipped models. Even that part of the swap should be relatively straightforward...

    Coil over springs on a obs idi ?

    I have seen the very rare and Elusive 84 crew cab that had a Dana 60 up front. Not for certain that it left the factory that way, but it did appear as such. It does become somewhat tiring trying to explain the rest of the potential optioning for axles with so much misinformation out there it's...

    I wouldn't be surprised if that's true as far as market affect. Total number of individual sales on such a specific part vs total number of sales to OB members is probably a surprisingly slim difference hahah. Many thanks for the links and answers guys! Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

    You probably mentioned it somewhere in the 2800 or so posts of this thread, but my search did not yield the results I was looking for, so I'll ask,. Where did you get that nifty overhead gauge cluster/switchpod @laserjock? Google didn't even help me on this one Sent from my Moto Z (2) using...

    Transmission dipstick on turbo swap

    I get a pretty good discount on banks products through work so it would probably cost more in material for me to make than just be the guinea pig on theirs haha Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk
