    Took some life away from my starter today

    When a start sticks engaged cranking it's almost always due to low voltage at the starter caused by low batteries or junk cables. The contacts in the internal starter solinoid get hot and weld together when voltage gets low because amperage goes way up when voltage goes down. Usually 1 hit...

    C6 Intermediate Band Adjustment

    I just did one last week. The best way to do it I read is to grab a buddy if available and jack up the rear end. Put the trans in neutral snug the band bolt down you'll notice the driveshaft will only turn 1 way with that nut snugged down at this point have your buddy trying to turn the shaft...

    7.3 idi build for my S1654

    Oh yah i knew I was forgetting something the oil pan is different as well as the pickup tube and the dipstick is mounted in a different location usually. The 7.3 going in has a block heater I'm going to replace it with a new one just because I don't trust a 33 year old unit. I'll definitely...

    7.3 idi build for my S1654

    True that I'm putting a pickup engine in it and i believe but can't confirm it has a pickup 6.9 in it currently. The 6.9 is grey not the international truck engine color and i was told it had a engine at some point that's why I figured it must have a pickup pump because it definitely revs past...

    7.3 idi build for my S1654

    Trucks previous life it was owned by a old couple that hauled a horse trailer down to Arizona every fall for the winter. I could not imagine pulling a horse trailer cross the states with a NA 6.9 in this truck. Granted the truck alone only weighs 8900lb I found hard to believe but I had it on...

    7.3 idi build for my S1654

    I scooped up a 85 international s1654 with a 6.9 in it and a spicer 5 speed. I know it's not a ford idi but I'd rather post here that the medium duty forum because this post is mainly about idi engines. I have a January 1992 7.3 stripped down to the block on the stand one of the cleanest...

    Russ's cams

    Russ cam is the "logger cam" and Justin's cam is the performance cam the way I've heard it. I wish I woulda tossed one of either in my truck. IIRC Russ's cam was originally ground for NA idi logging trucks to get more grunt out of them but also works good with a turbo

    John Deere engine swap?

    I have a tractor engine in my C30 a Perkins T6.354.4 its a road variant engine but its more of a tractor engine than a 6bt. The 354 has been used in a ton of Massey and white tractors and equipment over the years. I have a Clark 5 speed and a Spicer 3 speed brownie behind it but only using...

    John Deere engine swap?

    I would be swapping many different engines into a L8000 before a multi fuel. I like 3208s and they were a factroy option a dt466, 6v92T cummins L10 or a mack E7-250 would be long before my list for swaps into a medium duty chassis

    John Deere engine swap?

    Yah I have a m35a2c with a multifuel in it. They are a 7.8L engine they are way too huge for a pickup and stock they are only 135hp for the turbocharged engines. they are a diesel engine with different pistons and injectors that spray a stream of fuel into a hole/chamber in the piston then it...

    Oil overfill ok?

    I dump 12 quarts in with a powerjoke filter every time never had an issue. I overfill everything just a tad when I change oil (1/4-1/2 inch) I'll bet on any given engine you'd have to overfill a few inches at least before the crank was dipping in the oil.

    White Smoke When I Let Off

    Two ways I check for compression in a radiator is with the engine cold take the rad cap off to relieve any residual pressure put it back on and start the engine DOT NOT rev engine at all let it idle (revving the engine the water pump pressurizes the block therefore the radiator cap will allow...

    White Smoke When I Let Off

    Removing Timing Cover

    I want to add that I learned a trick from brian and it backfired on me because I did it wrong doing this exact fix on mine I ended up using a buffed/polished butter knife to use as a mirror to align the timing marks for the ip gear. But the trick is to get some longer 5/16-16 bolts all thread...

    88 Chevy 2500 6.9 IDI swap

    The problem is the hose barb orientation is completely different on gm to ford/idi custom metal piping would probably have to be made which I've done stuff like that before maybe its feasible for him to do with this I've gone from 6.2 diesel to a ford idi radiator before was metal cross over...

    Anything look weird?

    Physically you won't see a faulty injector no such think as telling by carbon build up or wetness unless the tip is dripping. If your doing the IP injectors should be done too they say the ip and injectors have a 100k mile service life I know many many of them are way past that on originals...

    7.3 idi knock

    Is it making chuffing or popping noises in the intake or exhaust listen with the air cleaner off. Next I want you to loosen injection lines at the injectors one at a time this is a manual cylinder cut out if/when you find one that changes or makes noise go away swap that injector with another...

    pre fill oil filter?

    I know this thread isn't brand new anymore but I bought a m35a2 (military 6x6 deuce and a half) last week and it has the Hercules multifuel turbo engine in it. They mounted the 2 canister oil filters vertically mounting the filter head at the bottom naturally within a hour or two after **** down...

    72 Highboy swapped IDI on Deboss Garage

    Ofcourse deboss will down talk a idi but he put a junk ass 3126 Caterpillar in a aeronose. 3126 is a electronic heui engine and they are good for like 300hp or so and don't last for ever and they are a "disposable" engine just like a 6bt

    Cold start

    High idle helps it warm up faster and get some heat in the cylinders to prevent cylinder washing. You should step on the throttle every time you cold start anyways I always push half to full throttle depending on temperature when cold starting as instructions can be found on the visor stepping...

    pre fill oil filter?

    I used to fill them then heard Caterpillar says not to some filters even have a picture of a X through oil being poured in and it makes sense a chunk of crap from transfer or where the oil came from or who knows can plug a oil passage or score though a bearing. I don't fill heavy truck filters...

    Factory bullnose wheels

    I was mainly going after single wheel but I didn't make it specific because I can't say I've seen a 80s Ford dually on aluminum either

    Factory bullnose wheels

    I did some digging around and came up empty handed. I can't say I've ever seen a F250/F350 bullnose on factory aluminium wheels. Were they only on steel wheels? I'm pretty certain the ford alcoa wheels were aeronose wheels came out in 93 or 94? No aluminum for bricknose either or?
