    Did my IP finally fail

    i have a 83 6.9. Lift pump is an electric in line and has worked good as long as I have had the truck. Lots of fuel at the schrader valve on the filter. I started the truck after a big dump of snow to move for plowing. Had it idling for about 10 min while shoveling it off. Went to move the truck...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Drove up to around 6000’ and built a wood shed at our snowmobile shelter a few weeks ago.

    Anyone running Jet A with stanadyne mixed in on their 6.9

    My buddy sells aviation fuel and just gave me 2 barrels of jet A that was drained from a tank and can’t be sold for airplane use now. He has been running it in his 2000 Cummins for a few years now with no issues. He is mixing in standyne for some lubrication as jet A is pretty dry I guess. Just...

    Air in fuel filter after sitting

    My 83 6.9 has started to need to have the air purged out of the fuel filter before starting all of a sudden. It already has an electric pump from the tank to the filter. It did fail a while ago and I replaced it with one I had that looked identical. The starter also piled up at the same time due...

    No it’s just an aluminum flat deck with a ramp. The side slide in when you don’t have the sleds on so it’s only as wide as the cab. I just modified it so it sits Close to the frame and built fenders and chain hangers. There’s a tool box on the other side. The decks usually just sit in the box of...

    I can’t switch from vents to defrost

    My brakes are not the greatest. Got to really push the pedal to get any action. Maybe vacuum pump is shot. I know my 96 had a vacuum leak and wouldn’t switch to ac but that was a 460. Wasn’t sure if the old 83 6.9 would be similar. Thanks I will check that out.

    I can’t switch from vents to defrost

    83 F-250 and I can’t get it to switch to my defrost vents. The front slider moves fine. I think something is unhooked but I just can’t find any rods that aren’t hooked to anything. Anyone know where the selector is in the dash?

    Fuel leak fixed. Couple other questions now 1983 6.9

    I got my seals out. There was some left on both ends it not much and hard. Used a pick to get them out. New seals are in and it’s all good. Runs and starts way better now. As for the block heater there’s an inline circulating heater installed that works good. Also has a block heater but the circ...

    Fuel leak fixed. Couple other questions now 1983 6.9

    Will check that out for sure. This truck is going into my cabin in BC and that’s where it will live out it’s days. I’m so far away from anywhere I wanted the simplest truck out there. It has an aftermarket tach I need to get working and a temp gauge which I found the broken sender wire already...

    Fuel leak fixed. Couple other questions now 1983 6.9

    Hi all I bought this old truck to build into a bush truck snowmobile hauler. I like the simplicity of these engines that’s why I picked this truck. I put in new glow plugs already which sucked as the ends were swelled but got them with my slide hammer and vise grips. I have a small fuel leak on...
