    New Clutch Doesn't Work *NEW ISSUE*

    New slave cylinder in, 3G swapped from the crew cab, clutch now works and truck now charges. Some of my awful sounds are even gone, but I have one new, very awful one. A terrible clutch rattling when it's engaged, at least at idle. Planning on getting a new clutch fork but could that really...

    New Clutch Doesn't Work *NEW ISSUE*

    Looks like removing from the transmission allowed the slave to die. It has bled off again overnight. Luckily, new slave cylinders aren't real expensive.

    Sticky Throttle Shaft?

    Aside from my new, no charge issue after replacing the clutch (turns out the alternator died at that exact time), I've noticed that this new to me IP has a sticky throttle. Like, there's more resistance to turn the throttle shaft on the IP than the one in the crew cab. There's currently no...

    New Clutch Doesn't Work *NEW ISSUE*

    I ended up finding the bleeder and that did end up being the problem. Unfortunately, new clutch hydraulics aren't in my future at three moment, but I am thinking about pulling the master and slave from the crew cab and swapping them (so I can still move the crew cab around). Now I have to...

    New Clutch Doesn't Work *NEW ISSUE*

    I swapped the clutch in Thumper from an older SMF kit to a new SMF kit (flywheel and all). This is about the 4th or 5th time I've done a SMF clutch on an IDI (first time with a turbo though), but this is the first time that the pedal has no resistance afterwords. And it's my only vehicle at the...

    Fuel Level Sender Pegged

    I must have at least one bad and one intermittent connection. With any luck, they aren't between the pump hanger and sender!

    Fuel Level Sender Pegged

    This is odd, but I've just dropped below 3/8 of a tank in the rear and filled it back up, now the gauge is pegged all the way for the rear tank too? Does not having a connection send the gauge to max?

    Acorn lug nuts for dually

    I've had those lug nuts and washers in my eBay watchlist for a couple of years now. As for chrome budd wheels, I resolved to have a set dipped sometime...

    Thumping only while cruising?

    Possibly just cowl-turbo contract? The sheet metal and bushings are in great shape in this truck, else I would've have bought it. The red/white crew cab has the whole driver's side frame sitting in the frame rail and only the passenger front cab mount is the only solid one, or one that's still...

    Thumping only while cruising?

    I've decided to name this new truck Thumper! Being a single cab long bed dually, and because of this thumping sound it makes once I'm cruising at 65 mph or above in 5th gear. I'd almost buy that it's high pressure air buffering under the truck, but it stops as soon as I clutch. There is a bit of...

    Fuel Level Sender Pegged

    I have the 38 gallon tank in the crew cab, but a hole rusted in the sump and it's only a few years old! I could never quite get the float arm adjusted to read properly. I have gotten the chance to jumper it at the FSV harness (which works much better than the one in my CCLB), but I'll plan on...

    Fuel Level Sender Pegged

    I thought when the senders go, they short and read empty? I guess I can try jumpering at the FSV plug once I finish fighting with getting the big mirrors on.

    Fuel Level Sender Pegged

    Back with a new (to me) bricknose IDI. As I'm working through fixing or modifying a few things, one of the more minor things I really want to fix is the front tank always pegs the dash gauge. Tanks are switching correctly every time. Rear tank reads fine, front tank always pegged. Rear tank...

    Back with another IDI. 89 single cab dually with a Banks Sidewinder.

    Sag Pump Conversion Problem

    I am not. Honestly, I only really visit here anymore as far as forums go. I guess I'm going to attempt to cross reference the Ford part number on the bent pulley when I take it back off.

    Sag Pump Conversion Problem

    I've installed, removed and installed pulleys and pumps so many times that I'm very close to lighting it on fire... The 300-121 for a GMC truck with a 350 can only use the outer of the 2 grooves. The single groove pulley that was sent to me with the bracket is so bent that it looks like fan...

    Sag Pump Conversion Problem

    Looks like there's no difference between the 2 pumps. I ordered a 300-121 pulley, so I'll be waiting another day for that.

    Sag Pump Conversion Problem

    I finally got around to installing my E350 7.3L power steering pump bracket to use the GM ham can and a pump from a '93 E250 with a 4.9L (AZ/Endurance part# 7075). It turns out, the diameter of the shaft is larger than my dual v-belt pulley. I have a pump from a '90 E350 with an IDI arriving...

    Need a shop recommendation...

    Thanks about how much another truck that needs a new engine costs around here. I'm just looking for head work, not block work.

    Need a shop recommendation...

    I guess I also need the specs for the proper machining clearance between the valve stems and ID of the guides. I had the info saved, but it must've been one of the links that got wiped last time I had a tech glitch. I'm fairly certain that the Jasper reman in the Enterprise had the guides reamed...

    Need a shop recommendation...

    Kind of a long shot, but anyone happen to know of a shop in the southern or central Ohio area that knows what they're doing with an IDI? I'm finally about to start getting a tiny amount of income, so I'll finally be able to start chipping away at a rebuild. Cylinders and slugs look ok, but one...
