    Help Identify Rear Axle and Load Capacity

    The easiest way to tell if there are adapters on a Sterling rear is how much of the hub is sticking through the wheels. 1 or 2" means theres a spacer, 4"-ish means no spacer. Sterling rears have very long hub stickout, so anything less than lots means a spacer. Travis..

    Help Identify Rear Axle and Load Capacity

    As far as the original title saying 4800 lbs, I'm pretty sure that was what Ford assigned to it when it was built and sold as a pick-up truck. I think they just used a "standard" weight for each line of truck, like the weight of the base model standard cab 2wd. My Dodge is registered in the...

    Idi exhaust manifolds

    I don't know if you could make them work in a pick-up or not, but that drivers side manifold is a much better design than the pick-up manifold. Much less restrictive. Travis..

    Milking as much out of my 6.9 n/a as I can

    Just to expand on this ^, I think a set of headers would really benefit an N/A engine. The drivers side manifold is quite restrictive. Port work, cam, fresh fuel system, and headers would probably be about as good as an N/A can get. Travis..

    Now stocking Wicked Wheel for the IDI

    I don't think you'll necessarily see if the WW is "worth it" on a dyno. I think where a WW will help is keeping the EGTs in check under long hard pulling. It would be cool to get an impression from someone who travels the same route regularly with roughly the same loads and knows their truck...

    anyone identify this rearend?

    Looks like a 70 to me, the rail where the cover seals on the top and bottom is wider than a 60 so it looks more elongated top to bottom than a 60. The covers do interchange between a 60 and 70 though. Travis..

    FS: Clean 1986 Crew Cab, 6.9L, 4x4, West Sacramento CA

    I also have an 80k mile original N/A 6.9 with fresh baby moose pump and matched injectors from Type4, and a 4x4 ZF5 with transfer case and some other misc items that I'd be willing to let go with the truck if someone from here wants to work a deal. Travis..

    ATS CD-R tube picture

    Yes it does, I was posting from my phone and dealing with some really bad cell service when I originally posted :) Thanks for the offer, probably not necessary though. It looks to be that it's just a tube with a. 45ish degree kink in it. I'm just trying to find it in my dads shop and needed...

    Bucket Seats in a Single Cab

    Be careful putting later model seats in an older standard cab truck. If you are average height or taller, you may not have much room. The cabs on newer trucks are larger inside, so the seats can be larger and recline, etc. A highback bucket in a square standard cab is asking to be too close...

    Because I don't get enough attention already.

    Agree, don't ruin your cab for lights. Mount it to your headache rack. We have lots of stuff at work with lights on the roof, and believe me, there ain't no going back. [:)] Travis..

    Cummins swap?

    As a guy with a 12 valve dodge and an IDI, I can say that I really like my 12 valve. So much so that I'm going to sell my crew cab instead of my Dodge since I have decided that I only need one truck. The best course for doing a swap is to do like was suggested and buy a whole truck as a donor...

    Are the idi's worth keeping?

    As said, it depends on where you live. In the land of clean, rust-free sheet metal, an IDI isn't a bad choice. Even if all you want to do is repower with something more modern. Travis..

    Are the idi's worth keeping?

    Depending on where you live, there is a good market for pre-emissions diesels. There are more and more people forgoing the newer electronics laden trucks that get bad fuel mileage and going back to simpler trucks that require much less money to keep going. There's also the guys looking to...

    Just saw this posted on Pirate4x4. If its diesel compatible, it could cure the fuel pick-up blues. Travis.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_jsSPRUTSA#t=75

    T-19 to ZF5

    ^^Absolutely, the OD makes all the difference. My truck has a GV, and without it, you are returned to the era of that circled double nickel on the speedo. Travis..

    T-19 to ZF5

    That would depend on which ZF you get, the early ones are basically the same as the T-19 and the later ones have the lower first gear and wider gear splits. When I was looking for ZF info, I found a blog about a guy who did the same thing you want with basically the same early 2wd truck. He...

    Water meth!!!!!!

    I would run the system on a master toggle switch, but have a pressure switch for automated operation when you have it turned on. This way you can leave it off when running light, but let it do it's thing automatically when you arm it. Travis..

    how long do you guys run your oil?

    If your oil starts to smell like fuel and you notice a marked increase in oil usage, I would change it at a point before this normally occurs. The scientific approach is good, but a common sense approach will get you in the general vicinity. It would be interesting to see a report on the oil...

    Gauge Pod for 88 F250

    I have gauge cups like that Jegs link in my Dodge, only they're Isspro. I drilled holes in the top of the dash right next to the A pillar to mount them. My Dodge has a plastic dash cap that isn't padded though. Might be the same on the Bricks too? Travis..

    Gauge Pod for 88 F250

    My 86 has pillar gauges, don't know who the pod is from because the P.O. installed it. From personal experience, the gauges on the pillar never seem to be angled correctly, and I'm pretty much right in the middle of average size as far as a person goes. I know there isn't much choice in where...
