    Need More Power 6.9

    Thats more along the lines of what i was thinking. The mount is a T-4. If I had some boost to get me back into my powerband I could hold 4th and maybe 5th.

    Need More Power 6.9

    The Poly tank was empty. The total trailer weight was perhaps a touch over 10k. In the 80's and 90's we pulled fully loaded 20 foot gooseneck livestock trailers well over 10k,( less the wind resistance) all the time, no big deal. All due respect, and thanks for the input.

    Need More Power 6.9

    My 6.9 needs more power! I just put this pickup together. I purchased it as a non-turboed 2 wheel drive automatic. I was pulling a 6k pound goose neck with a 12 foot diameter 10 thousand gallon poly tank; essentially a parachute. I was unable to get out of third gear! At 2700 rpm I ran out of...

    I was having a conversation today with my brother. Why the Moose pump or why not the Moose pump? Could the stock pump be turned up? What will the Moose pump accomplish? We are in the middle of figuring out what we what to do before the end of the year (taxes) as far as getting our 86 to run...

    Rebuilding na idi to turbo idi

    Icanfixall.... I was wondering when you would chime in. I am glad you did. I thought the 7.3 idi with the factory turbo would have been built more stout on the bottom end. I was under the impression those particular engines had different piston in comparison to n.a. engines.

    Rebuilding na idi to turbo idi

    The short block I found is in Avenal. I saw the engine engine that you mentioned in the bay area via craigslist. After talking my brother we have concluded that we will probably keep watching the oil and adding as needed. I would like to eventually rebuild it and put cermic coating the...

    Rebuilding na idi to turbo idi

    I have 1986 f350 with the 6.9 banks turbo. It is using a quart every 1,000 miles. I found a 1993 short block ($350) that is a factory 7.3 "turbo diesel" the guy said the heads were bad, was the reason for pulling the engine. I was thinking it might be time to rebuilt the 6.9 back with parts...

    Just bought a MINT '86

    Towcat, thanks for posting those pics, and thanks for all the compliments. When we convert to 4x4 I'm going to rebuild the C6 since the tranny needs to be torn down to change the output shaft. Already have a TCI rebuild kit, what torque converter would work best with this combo? TCI recomends a...

    Just bought a MINT '86

    Thanks for the info. regarding the Moose Pump in the future I may want to upgrade the IP. For now I am enjoying the truck the way it is. In about 3 months is when my brothers and I will convert it to a 4x4. As for as pictures it seems a little complicated to send them thru the computer. I...

    What is a moose pump? Is it a IP? If so what else would you use in conjunction with it for increased ponies?

    Just bought a MINT '86

    I am not sure how to get pics. on the computer. But I will try to figure it out. As far as the sweet spot for power I would agree. I would like to drive it with out going 62 MPH. I don't want to beat her up by driving 70-75. On craigs list I have posted a want ; gear vendor for a 1356 T...

    Just bought a MINT '86

    The gear ratio is 3.55. At 55-60 MPH it tachs in the neighborhood of 2250 to 2300. I would like to cruise that thing on the Interstate at 75-72 MPH. I will not drive that fast unless I have to due to the higher revs. This truck is like fine wine every year she got better. I am so jacked on...
