    Installing helper air springs-pull a leaf from the pack or no?

    What about cleaning and lubricating the existing spring pack? Is it worth it?

    Installing helper air springs-pull a leaf from the pack or no?

    Like it says, helper airbags are about to go in the rear. I am also going to install new leaf spring bushings at that time. Since weight carrying won't be a problem with the bags, should I Pull the overload spring? What abut pulling it a spring from the leaf pack? Looking for a little...

    injector line clamps.

    Email them. They are supposed to send a 4 line clamp too, but didn't with my set. A quick eBay message had a 4 line clamp in the mail the next day. And then another one a week later!(they forgot they sent the first one)

    Low oil pressure

    Looking up some serial number info seems to show some things about you factory turbo engine. I also found this info. Block c/n 10809000C1 was used for the entire 7.3L IDI years of production. The serial numbers for naturally aspirated applications are 500,079 through 1,116,330. So...

    Disc conversion on a 93 DRW

    Last question I have. Promise. Does your 16 inch wheel clear the caliper diameter wise, or are the calipers mounted inboard of the actual wheel. Wonder if the drw wheels and the offset would clear them. Btw, research seems to show they are 1976-78 Cadillac eldorado calipers.

    Disc conversion on a 93 DRW

    Nice, so we could get some of the width by moving the mount plate outboard of the flange, the make a spacer to take up the rest.... If you need replacement calipers in the future, do you know what they came from?

    Disc conversion on a 93 DRW

    So, Brian, your brackets bolt to the original flange the backing plate bolted to. On the hub side or the inside? Looks like you could add a spacer of the appropriate thickness to make up for the extra width of the drw and go. I am seriously going to go this route after a few measurement...

    Disc conversion on a 93 DRW

    Brian, do you have any pictures of the set up is installed on your truck? I want to look at how it is installed then do some measurements between a dual rear wheel and I think I'll rear wheel axle to make sure that is all we need.

    Here is a picture of the casting number on my turbo block heads.

    Low oil pressure

    This might throw another twist in it. I have a 93 model NA engine. It has the larger oil port in the rear of the block. The best way to tell if you have a factory turbo block is the engine is number. NA will start with 7.3D and turbo will start with 7.3T. What was the 8th vin of...

    Disc conversion on a 93 DRW

    In looking at all the options, I haven't found this one. What company is TCM? Maybe a link?

    Disc conversion on a 93 DRW

    Wonder if I could adapt it to a drw application. If I am thinking right, the mount bracket would need to move outward 1/2 inch to make the difference on the srw and drw brake show width.....

    Disc conversion on a 93 DRW

    Brian, did you put this kit on your truck? I seem to remember this. How do you like it? Did you need a proportions get valve? I have the large bore h-boost master cylinder and it wears my rear shoes quicker than I think it should....

    Trip to Tulsa....

    4.10s are your killer over 60 mph. If I tow my travel trailer 55 mph, I can get 14 or so. 65 mph and I am down at 10. Anything over 2200 rpm or so eats the fuel quickly. Just the way it is for me...

    Is this parts truck worth it?

    Probably worth that much in scrap weight. 6.9s with studs are pretty good, and cavitation isn't quite as bad. Pistons are a lot cheaper too.

    Damnit....You may call me the torque master now....

    If it makes you feel any better, I did the exact same thing. Broke the positive terminal off the starter when I was installing the new cable. I did, however, have an extra starter I pulled off a junk engine ready to go. That top bolt is a booger, but it can be removed with the right combo of...

    Replacement Windshield

    I had mine replaced in my driveway for 155 bucks. They came and did it all and it is warranted against leaks. A tube of the proper urethane is 25 bucks too, so if you are buying a windshield to install yourself, figure in that cost. If you know anyone who can cut out a urethane...

    Gauge cluster swap and now not charging

    Let me do some checking in my evtm. The pin out on the cluster harness might be different. The exciter circuit for the alternator runs through the charge light in the gauge cluster. I will do some looking when I get home. Was your truck originally and diesel? Or was the engine swapped without...

    So, just to be clear, the alcoas you have are srw, not the dually ones in the picture on the supercab, right? One of these days I will find a set of dually alcoas.

    New Moose Jr pump and Moose mate injectors

    Do you plan on setting the timing with a meter or just by ear? If you ever make it down to central Arkansas, I would be happy to throw my meter on it and set it exactly.

    new to me 92. need help.

    Gauges could be a bad ground. The gauge cluster is grounded behind the drivers side kick panel. Pull the plastic cover and look for a bunch of wires bolted down with a green bolt. Take it off and clean everything with cleaner or sandpaper to make sure it has a nice clean connection. Glow...
