    6.9 Superduty

    I don't know how I missed this thread. I SWEAR I saw you in town and was thoroughly confused at the SD that sounded like an IDI I have the Snap On timing stuff if you want to bring it over and double check your settings. Also, I second the motion to ditch or hollow out that Cat asap!

    Erratic Speedo 1992 F-250

    That's on the list prior to having the cluster repaired, but as I said, the waveform looks good on an oscilloscope, so that leads me to believe the signal being generated is clean and good enough for normal operation. This time of year its hard to find time to go tinker with the truck with all...

    Erratic Speedo 1992 F-250

    Thanks, Towcat. That would help confirm my diagnosis. What will it take to ship it?

    Erratic Speedo 1992 F-250

    On the way home from Salt Lake City a week ago, my speedometer began behaving erratically. At random times, the needle will drop roughly 10% of whatever speed the vehicle is moving, and then bounce back to the normal speed. So far to diagnose I have: Observed the waveform of the rear axle speed...

    Pondering Glow plug issues.

    That is exactly why I'm such a proponent of the factory solid state controller. Those boys at Ford/IH were thinking when they made it and it's hard to improve it.

    Transfer case output seal

    I need a new rear output seal for the Transfer Case in my truck. Ford says they no longer offer the seal. Oriellys lists 3 different seals on the website. Which is correct for the stock BW 1356 with a slip yoke rear output? Im not near my truck or I'd just stick my head under it and look. I...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Cruised my old truck 1000 miles this weekend. Cold started fine in Salt Lake, after a ~30° night. On the way home today my speedo started bouncing up/down about 10mph at 75mph. I think the VSS in the rear axle is going out again. Other than that small issue (which killed the cruise control and...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Forgot to add these the other day. I added some SAE/DOT approved driving lights up front, and some nice diffused flood lights in the rear bumper.

    What size of battery cables

    Anyone have experience with these? http://custombatterycables.com/application/f350_cables_1987-e99.htm The original cables in my truck are now 24 years old, and it occasionally has a slow crank first thing in the morning. I'm thinking the OEM Starter and cables are beginning to show their...

    Swapped out an outdated and underpowered Galaxy CB for a proper HAM setup today for chase duty.

    Clean it up the other day and put it away, just before it started to rain.

    secure center consoles and seats for an OBS

    I have a tuffy box in mine. It works out great. At the time I installed a nice Galaxy CB in it, but have since removed it and installed a proper HAM radio for chase truck duty.

    How much air do you reckon goes UNDER our trucks? RE: inter-cooler radiator

    Put it up front. If my AC keeps up here in Vegas where its routinely 120º, you'll be fine. I have the ATS intercooler that mounts down low and utilized the bumper holes (I put on a newer PSD Bumper) and it works great.

    87 Crew Cab w/ 6 doors

    I love working on 22Rs. Just about the easiest and most enjoyable setup to play with. I see ARB compressor and solenoids too. Nice setup!

    Scared to buy "reman" ZF5

    I bought one from Zumbrota bearing and gear in Minnesota. Even with shipping to Nevada it was a good deal. I did have a little leak out of a case plug in the bell housing, but they made it right. I had to remove the trans and strap it to a pallet, but they picked it up, shipped it back to...

    long trip checklist??

    SEMA is a shit show, if you've never been. Forget the truck and trailer- bring yourself some real good walking shoes! I average 11 miles a day on foot during SEMA!

    long trip checklist??

    When is your trip? If its May or later, it's gonna be hot here in Las Vegas. The heat radiates out of the pavement and kills old/questionable tires in a hurry. I'd advise that you double-check the tires on the truck AND trailer. Repack trailer wheel bearings and tune up trailer brakes. On...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Started mine up Friday for the first time since last fall. Seems the fuel lines drained back into the tanks (tanks were each below 1/4) so I had to crank it some to get it to fire. Once it lit, no problems since. I changed the oil and washed and waxed it. Drove to Bass Pro with my daughter...

    New transmission time

    Well to be honest, I parked the truck in May, and didn't touch it until November. Fired it up in November, drove it to go get an emissions test without any problems, and parked it again. I've been incredibly busy with work this year, and just haven had time to enjoy the old truck. I plan to get...
