    Fan clutch upgrade...

    You wouldn't have to worry about it fragmenting if you used the complete fan and made a new shroud..... Just sayin'..... On a side note, before worrying about it either way, maybe you should try the 6.4 fan with NO shroud. Yes, without a shroud and the stock IDI fan it doesn't cool enough, but...

    87vs91 fuel tank difference

    That's what I was thinking, but normally I've either bought a new tank or it's come out of a parts truck that's the same year. I just wasn't sure if it was a different diameter hole in addition to the different sender arm on the 18 vs 19 gallon tanks.

    87vs91 fuel tank difference

    Anyone know what the actual difference would be in this application? The rear tank on my truck is shot, I previously extended the life by a few years with some roll-on bedliner, but it's toast at this point. I have a '91 F-150 I can snag the rear tank from (it was a new poly replacement a...

    $8000 for a conversion

    Nope, it's worth $3500 the day you list the ad and $1500 the day you finally sell the darn thing. LOL I'd offer them 2 grand and walk away.

    24 volt starer

    A lot of Cummins powered HD trucks and newer tractors use a 24V starter system and have a 12V electrical. It's wired about like this, I don't really want to draw one up when this gives you an idea of how to wire it.

    The Official "Show Us Your Ride" pictures of member's trucks thread.

    Ya'll need to think more outside the box sometimes. Marine bow rails were around a long time before they started using those parts on trucks. I took mine off my old boat, I didn't want the bow rails on it anyway. LOL I'd take a picture, but they are still in a box somewhere from the move. Same...

    Tire choices

    They had a machine at the car dealership I worked at. It had a vacuum pump, it would pull a vacuum down to -1 psi, fill with nitrogen, repeat this cycle 3 more times before filling with nitrogen, took about half an hour. It worked fine, set the final fill pressure and it did it automatically on...

    Remove for Fording?

    Well, since it's been resurrected......

    I'm done

    If you're honest about the issues, about $500 in my neck of the woods.

    Tire choices

    They are in my signature, 10 ply load range E. Mine sit at 75psi front, 80psi rear 24/7. If it's moving, it's loaded. Lightest loads it'll see are hauling a 6x12 u-haul trailer next week multiple times. I've been known to put a 12-ply (load range G) tire on the rear of my trucks at times.

    Proper clutch diagnosis?

    I'm just going to leave this here in case you end up having the same problem I did with the crappy adjustable pushrods. https://www.oilburners.net/threads/chinese-junk-is-garbage.68025/ I haven't had to touch mine since I did that.

    Glow plugs randomly stopped working-tried everything

    Personally, I'd give a local stereo shop (not best buy or a national chain) a call, in my experience, you can get a higher quality AGU or ANL fuse holder with a fuse cheaper through them than you can an automotive use MAXI or MEGA fuse (MEGA fuses are what you are talking about BTW). If you want...

    1925 Chevy C-cab

    I saw this this morning on facebook, not too unusual in my neck of the woods, but since he's got a valid title, it might be good at that price for someone who would need to ship it.

    Next truck

    That's the one that looks like it needs a 20 ton shackle in the center of the grill for a hog ring right? ;Poke Sounds like you're looking for one of 3 things: Newer truck with a 20k price tag. Older truck that someone's got at minimum 10k into it, so again, high price tag to get them to...

    IDI as a stationary power unit.

    Shoot, if it's stationary, you could run 60' of 3/4" fin pipe for hot water heating as a supplemental radiator. Cut it into 3' lengths and put it on the heater core loop in front of the radiator so the fan pulls air through it. It'd be redneck as it gets, but I imagine you'd struggle to even...

    IDI as a stationary power unit.

    I think I'd be finding a pre-97 2.0 or 2.3 powered 2wd ranger to power it. Around here you can find them under $500 running and driving, not the prettiest at this point in their life, but for what you're doing, it wouldn't matter.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I changed the batteries. Later I'll fill the flat right rear tire. I *may* even start it. :dunno On a side note: This getting ready to move sh*t is for the birds. If there is a next time, I'll spend the 2 grand for someone else to do it for me. LOL

    Batteries load tested ok but voltage dropping

    I disagree. With your apparent support for a universal wage hike, it shows you to be one of people who don't understand basic economics or cause and effect. Please post about it in the refinery so I can educate you. Poor people cannot afford to buy cheap things, and if you can't pay cash, you...

    Batteries load tested ok but voltage dropping

    Sounds like our society in general. Everything is disposable now to make it cheaper. Take faucets for example, 20 years ago your faucet would have a metal body, solid brass valves that could be rebuilt, and a real chromed finish. Now it's plastic. If you notice, the dollar is not worth as much...

    Glow plug connectors-really good ones

    I have been thinking about ordering some metric long barrel gold plated spring style female bullet connectors through a local hobby shop. They are supposed to have 2mm thick silicone boots, come in a pack of 10. I can't remember the diameter, they are available in .5mm diameter increments, I...

    A great loss.

    I have never had the chance to meet Calvin (or many of you) in person as I have too many irons in the fire to make any long distance trips. I have spoken with him a few times, both on here and in other ways. Great guy, not exactly the news I wanted to hear, he will be missed, in both his...
