zf 5spd towing
2500 up to and over 3000 rpm is the sweet spot in mine wen loaded down. Empty I shift at about 2000, loaded I shift at about 3000. With my 5er in tow, anything under 2000rpm is pointless. It pretty much means that you're 1 gear lower than usual all the time when loaded.- bike-maker

Need help again :) Bleeding fuel lines ..
I can crank on mine in 20 second bursts about 5 times before it starts to slow down (with a minute wait in between each burst). That's with 2 fresh stud top group 31's; Same batteries used in a semi truck.- bike-maker

Need help again :) Bleeding fuel lines ..
When I changed my IP a few months ago; I ran the electric pump for about a minute, then cracked all of the injector lines loose at the tops of the injectors. Held the throttle wide open and cranked it for about 10 seconds, tightened the 2 lines that started weeping, another 5 seconds of...- bike-maker

zf 5spd towing
My ZF5 works great towing. The only issue I have is the big jump in RPM when downshifting from 3rd down to 2nd while towing; but if my NA IDI wasn't such a slug, it wouldn't be an issue.- bike-maker

The Crew Cab's Vibration Mystery Solved!
They should have the capability of spinning the flywheel by itself, and verifying that it is neutrally balanced. This is how it should be done to a internally balanced rotating assembly. If they took weight off of the crank to compensate for the out of whack flywheel, what would happen if you...- bike-maker

Electric FSV - manual valves questions.
Parts list is gonna be kinda rough because I had most of it already. FWIW, adding the parallel electric pump can be done afterward. Sounds like you need to get yours converted to the manual valves, and you can worry about the e-pump later on (that's how I did it) I got the valves from...- bike-maker

Electric FSV - manual valves questions.
I can draw up a diagram if needed, but I'll try describing it first...... Fuel lines come from the tanks and go directly to the 3 way tank selector valves. From the tank selector valves to the electric fuel pump setup seen in my first pic posted above. Return line just goes from the valve up to...- bike-maker

Electric FSV - manual valves questions.
The harness for the rear lights are in there, as well as the brake lines, with an additional 1/4" air line for the rear air bags, and 4 extra wires for the trailer wiring. I just bundled it all together and zip-tied the hell out of it. Homeless, the way I have mine run, I hardly ever use the...- bike-maker

Electric FSV - manual valves questions.
Sorry to hear about the ripped nipple..... My FSV suffered the same fate while I was laying under the truck trying to pull the lines off to bypass them because the FSV was pulling out of the front tank and over flowing the rear. I switched over to manual valves, and ran a Carter pump parallel...- bike-maker

My 1994 F-350 4x4 CC TD
I have gray front door panels out of a 89, and have sprayed the original rear red door panels to match the front. I tried 3 different brands of vinyl spray paint out, and every one of them comes out considerably lighter than the cap on the paint suggests. I've had to spray them 3 different times...- bike-maker

highboy body swap with 7.3 IDI and ZF5
Here's a link to a guy putting a 79 crew cab body on a 96 F-Superduty frame with PSD/ZF5. Looks like his main issue was firewall clearance.- bike-maker

highboy body swap with 7.3 IDI and ZF5
I researched this a little bit when I first started putting my truck together. I was looking at finding a 70's crew cab body and long bed to throw on my CCLB chassis; but the crew cabs are rare, and therefore worth their weight in gold. The wheelbases are the same, but that is about where it...- bike-maker

ball joints
I went through the same research process before I changed my ball joints out about a year ago. Through this site as well as many others, Moog seemed to be the brand of choice. If you start looking further into the Dodge forums, they swear by the XRF joints, and are unhappy with the Moog stuff. I...- bike-maker
