    E450 Brake Upgrade for 2WD OBS Trucks

    I don't need new front brakes yet, but apparently the 2008 and up E450 rotors are larger/heavier and perhaps more important, have two piston calipers. Sounds like it's a pretty easy all OEM parts bolt on, and all of it fits under the same 16" factory wheels. I'm assuming this would be a bolt...

    Sloppy shifter arm solved: loose bracket bolts

    I had assumed that the bushings in my column were shot as my shifter was getting sloppier. I pulled it all apart and found that it was actually the two torx bolts that hold the bracket that the cable mounts on. One of the bolts was very loose, which was causing the bracket to really move...

    Non-genuine parts

    This is pretty disturbing. If you've ever had the misfortune of chasing an ignition issue, or even just fouling plugs (in my not so humble experience Champions have no place in anything but a Briggs & Stratton lawn mower), having a one in three chance of getting knock offs is pretty insane...

    Does this E4OD selector cable connection look correct?

    So my shifter selector started feeling a little "less positive" than it used to, and it might just be old/worn, but I figured I'd take a look at it and it seems like it should be closer to lever rather than out on the end of the mount. I looked all over the internet for installed pics but all I...

    12V Cummins in lift truck?

    A friend of mine has an opportunity to acquire a 6 cylinder Cummins diesel in a towmotor. It sounds like it got the small individual valve covers and it's tan in color. Anybody over on this side know how to identify what generation Cummins this is (maybe by the injector pump?) and whether or...

    Mechanic needed near Rock Hill SC (just south of Charlotte)

    Just found out that my buddy’s son is moving. I’ll delete the other thread as soon as I can figure out how but I thought a fresh thread might get more interest. Thanks in advance for any input.

    E4OD IDI transmission with billet converter

    I bought this as a backup for mine. Looks like it’s out of a pre-1992 as it’s got the rod linkage not the cable shifted linkage. It’s comes with a billet converter, which is the reason I bought it. I’m certain it’s been rebuilt, I will attach the tag from the converter. I assumed if somebody put...

    OBS F450 Superduty 10 lug wheels: are they the same as the E450 wheels?

    Helping out a buddy with a box truck, looking for a spare wheel (ideally two wheels). I know the regular steel wheels are not that common, trying to open my search criteria and look at motorhome and/or E450 van wheels. Can anybody confirm if they are the same between van and trucks? I am...

    For Sale: 1985 Centurion Explorer F250 Extended Cab

    Good morning and Happy Thursday. Like so many things these days, I am at a crossroad that requires downsizing, and there's just not enough room in my life for two diesel trucks. I really, really like the Centurion that I acquired this past Fall, but the reality is that the PSD just suits my...

    RockAuto V-Belt Closeouts

    Doing a little PM on the Centurion extra-cab and noticed the belts were flopping more than I expected, even after tightening them a bit. RockAuto has some pretty good deals right now on Gates, Dayco and Continental v-belts. I bought two sets of four belts (power steering, vacuum pump...

    1986 Single Cab Dually F350 for sale near Portland

    I sure wish I liked the bullnose trucks more. With a turbo and a ZF, this would be a great IDI tow rig. It sounds like the seller is not that firm on the price too....... https://portland.craigslist.org/clc/cto/d/damascus-1986-350-dually-69-idi/7441894383.html

    Onan/Cummins Diesel generator: overheats after 20 minutes of running

    Trying to diagnose this on site here at King of Hammers. Runs ok but gets hot and shuts down after 20 minutes. It’s just short of 4400 hours and it’s on a race trailer that literally always sees lots of dust, so it might just be time for a rebuild. Hoping somebody knows this brand/vintage and...

    Vacuum Regulator Valve/VRV for C6 transmission: convert or replace or search for NOS?

    So I'm new to the diesel specific C6 transmission, and I just realized that the one on my new truck has a cracked tube which is making it shift poorly. I did a search and it appears that as of 2019, these things were pretty scarce. I'd really like to put a factory replacement part on it, but I...

    Question about Bullnose windshield cowling: plastic plug placement

    My new to me bullnose is in pretty spectacular condition with a couple exceptions. It was parked under some giant pine trees, and it had a lot of pine needles accumulated in the books and crannies. I managed to get most of them out from behind the windshield trim, but I realized that I needed to...

    Mobile Delvac Rebates = Cheap Oil

    Passing this along for anybody who needs an oil change for their IDI. I got a 2.5 gallon jug of Mobile Delvac Super 1300 at Wally World for $31.67, which qualifies for a $10 prepaid Visa card. When you sign up online, they give you another $5 Visa card. That's 2.5 gallons for $16.67 plus tax...

    1981 F350 Dually on CL

    This truck deserves an IDI conversion. Single cab dually F350s really are a great looking rig, and being a 1981, you'd have a true "built the unicorn" dually. https://skagit.craigslist.org/pts/d/concrete-81-f350/7399751471.html

    Look what followed me home today: 1985 F250 Explorer

    Pretty nice, pretty clean Bullnose Centurion F250. Some folks have been pestering me about selling my dually, and this was a pretty neat truck that probably suits my needs better than my PSD. It hasn't been licensed since 2017, and I had to put a starter in it but I drove it home today.
