Ok, thanks for the info guys.
Time to pony up on a flywheel and clutch kit. :-(
I bought the truck not running. Fired it up on gas through the intake.
Today I blew out the clogged fuel lines and ran her for a while getting all the old gas out of the system. The trans is in perfect shape...
I have 3.55's, so the wide ratio of the gasser is what I was looking for.
As far as I know and what research I have done, the t19 fly will work just fine for the zf5.
Anyone got anything different?
My 89 7.3 turbo c6 isn't in horrible shape, but the constant slight slipping under acceleration when towing and the massive slipping in 2nd when I get on it (even empty) have forced me to go manual... Ok, probably not forced, but I wanted to before I got this truck. Haha
So I'm doing it...
I knew I was losing a little coolant from it evaporating out of a seam leak at the top of the rad. Very slow, but still knew it was there... So I figured it was just from being a little low on coolant.
I was also in somewhat of an emergency situation and needed to get back on the road asap or...
Ok, so all I should need are the o-rings?
Not yet. Gotta sell my motorcycle first to find the swap. Thought I had it sold, but the guy backed out last minute. :-(
My truck got hot (235°) one day (about a month ago) and I immediately pulled over and opened the cap. Coolant boiled over and a big chunk of orange rtv came out with it... I put 2 gallons of coolant back in it and it's been great ever since.
Until I saw my radiator start leaking a week or two...
So... My radio also died the same day it started, but it was $7 from China... So I was expecting it.
Night before last I pulled the radio and unplugged it and plugged it back in. The radio works great again and the blinker/blower issue has vanished.
I'm not very excited about that... I would...
I wouldn't say it's "better", being the right manual is bulletproof, but an auto gives you almost an infinitely low 1st gear. The control and torque available as low as you want makes it pretty nice and gives you good control in tricky situations.
Doing that produces heat, which could burn it...
I have searched the webz and haven't found anything.
Everything (except the cruise) works in my truck. Ac is ice cold. Replaced the round blinker thingy and it has no issues. I also replaced the AC blower when I got it and it has no issues.
The other day my ac blower stopped blowing. I popped...
That's awesome!
I'm amazed at how straight that truck is!
If misfortune strikes with the title, hit me up! That bed will look beautiful on my truck... Just saying. Lol
Awesome truck, looking forward to watching this build!
Drove the whole family (6 total) to the family Thanksgiving with all the bikes, soocters, etc. in the bed. My kids (oldest is 4) love when we take my truck anywhere.
Much more fun than the Durango Citadel. Haha
And the broken head unit makes the sound track very pleasing if you ask me. -clack...
I'm all eyes. I'm trying to get some ideas for... Anything different. Lol.
That looks a lot better than I thought it would.
I am thinking about trying to replicate the IH travalette/travelall/scout grills. I'm not a Ford guy, so any possible way to ditch the Ford logo, I'm down for. Lol.
I...
I was wondering if anyone here had played around with dressing up the dricknose a bit.
Anyone have a custom grill they made? The only aftermarket one I have seen was just tiny horizontal lines with no badge or anything else.
Anybody got anything?
