    Project Little Foot

    Yeah my wife is starting to notice. I need to get the rolling chassis assembled and into the shop - I'm trying to clean up the yard. I'm pretty mechanically inclined, but as I start putting this together, I'm finding out how much I don't know. Rust on the ring gear look OK - or is this...

    Rear axle seals leak. TSB 94-19-24 (PN: F4TZ-1177-C)) - part dealership only?

    Perfect. Anything like this for the Ford 10.25?

    Is there a way for me to edit the first post in this thread? I wanted to update it to include an index so that topics are easier to find. I've been able to edit posts in the past to correct spelling or technical errors, but I don't see the edit button for this post.

    Rear axle leak repair questions. I seem to have a lot of rust, 3 leaky seals and some rust damage to the ring gear. I don't know if this is normal or not, so comments are appreciated. I've got another thread going to find the right parts "Rear axle seals leak. TSB 94-19-24 (PN: F4TZ-1177-C)...

    Rear axle seals leak. TSB 94-19-24 (PN: F4TZ-1177-C)) - part dealership only?

    I'd like to get a book on these axles, and the dana 60 I have up front - any recommendations? The TSB says it's for full float. I'm pretty sure I learned about this here. Anyone familiar with this? The newer trucks have it already, but I've got an 86 and my bearing are shot, so I need new...

    Rear axle seals leak. TSB 94-19-24 (PN: F4TZ-1177-C)) - part dealership only?

    I don't see the oil slinger or new bearing. Is this the seal you use after the conversion? I have 86 F350, and both sides and the pinion are leaking pretty bad. I don't have it apart yet, but I'm kinda thinking I don't have the TSB (new oil slinger & bearing) installed yet and that's why it's...

    Rear axle seals leak. TSB 94-19-24 (PN: F4TZ-1177-C)) - part dealership only?

    I know we were just talking about this - because I got this TSB info from a link you guys supplied. I remember the tread having pictures of the seals and part numbers - I think from Napa. Anyhow I searched with site search and google and can find it. It sucks cause I know it's there, but...

    Promise... the build

    What are you soldering and how are you doing it? If you put the iron on the copper wire directly, it's a conductor and the heat dissipates down he wire quickly - especially if it's a big thick wire. Better to melt the solder into something smaller (terminal, pad,...) and let it cool. Then...

    Nice, and you have routing references in case you can't remember where all the fuel lines go.

    Love my truck but really want/need 4x4

    1k seems like a good price for complete (running?) parts truck. I"m sure the folks here can get you through it, but don't under estimate the amount of work. Unless you are a professional mechanic, I expect it will take you a long time to complete if you are currently working and can't spend...

    Promise... the build

    I don't know what type of soldering iron you have. The older ones didn't need to get as hot to melt the lead solder. New lead free solder has higher melting temp. I have some (soldering irons/stations) with dial temp adjustment - turn them up. My Metcal has different tips, each with a...

    Stupid question of the day. Parasitic draw.

    Agreed you definitely don't need to use a fuse. I can see better getting the contacts extended.

    I used zero rust. My paint shop recommended it. They said it works well for this type of application, it's eas(ier) to apply/work with, and cheaper than POR-15. POR-15 was the alternative they suggested. I can confirm that's it's easy to work with. I thinned 6:1 with lacquer thinner and...

    Stupid question of the day. Parasitic draw.

    9mA actually isn't that bad if you drive the truck fairly regularly. To find the circuit with the leakage current, I normally go to the fuse box with a blown fuse (in my toolbox) and put blown fuse in each slot and put the meter on each tab to measure current on that circuit.

    Sandblaster came today. It was a lot of work prepping for sandblasting. I just got one coat over everything to seal it up. Gonna have to go back over it. It was a long day, I think I'll try doing second and third coat a little at a time. I think this is a milestone. I'm no longer taking...

    Fabricating a t3 or t4 flange onto ats up pipe

    IDIiot - That Y pipe to up pipe (I think that's what it's called-still learning all the terms/components) fabrication is a thing of beauty. What gauge tubing are you using? Will 16 gauge work? Does it hold up OK? It seems much thinner than stock exhaust. Curious what's recommended here.

    Anyone using new Banks, Hypermax, R&D, or home made turbo kits?

    Thanks for the heads up. I should check classified to see what's out there. I'm a little leery of buying a used turbo cause I don't know enough about them yet.

    Anyone using new Banks, Hypermax, R&D, or home made turbo kits?

    If I go the "build your own path", what tubing do you use for the hot side? Cold side? And where are you getting it. I see this Columbia River Mandrel bends site, but they don't do 2" 11 guage mild steel which is what I think I want for the hot side. That said I'm not sure what to use. I...

    Anyone using new Banks, Hypermax, R&D, or home made turbo kits?

    I'd be interested in hearing about the "build your own" option. Do I just need to plumb the exhaust manifolds to a collector that goes into the turbo? Then plumb turbo to inter-cooler? Then inter-cooler to manifold? I know it sounds pretty straightforward, but I'll bet it takes a lot of...

    Anyone using new Banks, Hypermax, R&D, or home made turbo kits?

    I'm looking for NEW turbo kit. Looks like the ones listed in the title are the available options. I'm not completely closed minded on the NEW aspect, but it seems like if I get a used one, and have any problem (turbo rebuild, or missing parts) then I've almost spent what a new one would cost...

    Can you guys tell me about my new 6.9

    Welcome to the forum, and congrats on the new truck! You get the 5sp manual? I can't help you on the turbo info, but I'm sure someone else here can. BTW it's not a stock configuration (the turbo), so you may need to add more details to get help without pics.

    Those 6pt combination?

    Stupid question of the day. Parasitic draw.

    A couple questions. Do you have any circuits coming from the driver side (+) battery, or does it go straight to the passenger battery? If it has no circuits, then here's what I would do: Leave both grounds connected. Disconnect positive from passenger side. Set Multi-meter (you do have multi...

    Vinyl tubing and diesel fuel?

    That cat is a character I'd like to meet. Just not if alcohol or firearms are involved.

    Classic Diesel Designs' Website is Live!

    I like the description of each of the products and why you would use them. I'm thinking about adding a turbo setup, and this helps me understand what is available. Overall, it's got a clean interface, and easy to navigate. Nice job.
