    Another questionable purchase

    I regret to inform you that I have purchased a 2003 Ford F450 XL Crew Cab 4WD, with a 10’ flatbed, a 6 speed manual, and a 6.0 Powerstroke, made in May of 03, one of the earliest 6.0s. It has 137,000 miles on it, and I purchased it on an internet auction, for much cheaper than I had been...

    1965 Mercedes-Benz 190Dc Fintail Diesel Project

    I am aware that this section of the forum has been dead for around 4 years, but alas, this is the proper place to post about these cars Yesterday I went out to Grand Island, NE and picked up this car… This isn’t the best picture, but given that the trip took all day, I didn’t have much time to...

    The overly complicated disaster that is this swap project

    Back in late February of 2025, I bought a 1994 Ford F350, regular cab 11’ bed 4WD chassis cab dually truck, with a 7.3 IDI and E4OD automatic. Real straight body on the truck. Bought it off Purplewave. There was a video on the listing of the truck cranking over, was claimed to be non running...

    7.3 IDI Turbo Harmonic Balancer

    As far as I’m able to tell, the harmonic balancers used on the naturally aspirated and factory turbo engines are different. Not surprising what with the different rods and pistons. Ok, so here are the International part numbers 1805414C1 for 6.9 engines 1803317C1 for 7.3 non turbo engines...

    WTB 4x4 E4OD

    My dump truck likes to eat transmissions. I would like to keep feeding it, but half chewed dump truck food has gotten seemingly scarce in my area. I’m from eastern Kansas, but willing to travel a ways to feed my starving dump truck. New/rebuilt E4ODs are expensive, I rarely use my dump truck...

    Fuel temp

    So I am wondering, how hot is our fuel supposed to get? I feel like I might be getting my fuel too hot somehow… so I was wondering if anybody else has noticed anything like this. My fuel filter will get up to about 200*, while the engine itself is at 185-190*. I would think our fuel would get...

    Turn signals only work sometimes…

    So on my 91 F-Superduty service truck, the turn signals don’t always work. The indicators on the dash work when the actual turn signals work, but sometimes neither work. They always click like they are supposed to. I replaced the round flasher on the fuse panel, no difference… What could it be?

    Someone go get it!!!

    https://m.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1021306518999921/?ref=browse_tab Not in the best of shape but a damn good price for a 4WD crew cab Bullnose diesel. It probably will sell fast with that price. I kinda want to go get it, but don’t have room for another truck. But for that, might just have...

    Electric window swap

    I would like to get all of the parts Necessary to put power windows in my 86, however, this may sound a little strange, but I only want to do it to the passenger side, and wire up a switch on the dash to be able to control it from the driver side as well. I would like to keep the manual window...

    Leaf springs

    So my 86 has the standard HD 3/4 ton springs, and I’d like to get new springs for the front, and stiffer for the rear. Well really, I’d like to Dana 60 swap the truck, but keep the TTB springs as I understand they are stiffer, but mine are sacked out in the front, and need replaced or re...

    6.0 intake box

    Just wondering if anyone has put a 6.0 Powerstroke intake on a 7.3 or 6.9 IDI. Seems @snicklas was talking about how the intake box bolts up to the battery tray. If no one has tried it I may well just try it anyway, if it don’t work my buddy with a 7.3 PSD said he might buy it off me.

    To stud or not to stud

    Are studs really necessary for a 7.3 with a stock Hypermax turbo kit? From what I’ve read if you want to boost a 6.9 you need to stud it, but the Hypermax doesn’t boost over 14 pisseye, and thats really only under load at wide effen open, above 3k rpm. I understand that studs make things better...

    Can I just buy the part from hypermax or does somebody have one laying around that they would sell me? Turns out my truck is only half turbo charged lol.

    Well this is normal.

    I thought my new Napa starter’s Bendix gear had gone bad, lifetime warranty so they gave me a new one. Still spun but wouldn’t turn the engine over. Wiring all tested good. Battery voltage good. And then I found this. I have never in my life ever seen anything like this.

    Is there a way to make a high idle switch?

    I am guessing running power from a switch to the high idle solenoid on the IP is how it is done? Just want to make sure, I am taking this truck up to Scottsbluff this fall and it will need to be able to withstand starting in very cold temps. I hope to add an ether injection system as a backup if...
