    1986 crossmembers

    I've been looking for some 'new' crossmember for my truck 1986 f250, I need them from the cab mount back. I'm thinking the only option I have is to find a good donor which I live In the rust belt 'good luck', does the cross member off of a 2000ish f-150 will they fit on our trucks? or even the...

    7.3 with c6 questions

    your pics should look like mine, that is the vrv to the right, with the 2 vacuum lines attached. the second pic shows it from the side with the adjustment. you might be better off scouring the junk yard for a vrv and the parts for it to make it work, you might luck out with a good one. if my...

    That Time of the Year Again: I Think It's Battery Time

    if you shop around the truck parts store you might find them on sale also the group 31. if they can live in tractor/transport and put miles and miles everyday for years and that bouncing and a physical abuse, that deserves my vote. just hope you don't seize you engine while cranking, you might...

    Power is Power, Right?

    I love that engine, I had one in a 1990 f150.... not fast but it pulled good. one way to look at it is that the i6 made in 1990 265 ftlb at 2000 rpm and the 302 made roughly 270 ftlb at 2400 rpm. for something that everybody snubs there nose too, it can hold it's own then some. and built...

    Won't start - week batteries

    on another note, I've also had battery trouble also would only get 3 years on set of battery's, the group 78 if that makes sense. Canadian tire top of the line eliminator's to boot, that is another reason why switch to group 31, easy to get, build for heavy duty application (highway tractor)...

    Won't start - week batteries

    alternator will cause a voltage drain if the diode's are tired, leave it connected over night measure the voltage then doo the same test but disconnect the alternator. it's a slow painfull draw that can run you mad for few days... as the battery, you can put the one is question on charge...

    Turboing a 6.9

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMOWIcL0Ohg just to show that you don't need copious amounts of power to outpull a cummins, just need a 'tank' of a truck and good gearing. those H1 probably would put out the same power as a turbo charged idi engine. just check out other pull contest with the...

    Bullnose/Slantnose Diesel Picture Thread

    that's a good name for the old truck 'hans solo' and that truck lived it's whole life in the rust belt, northern Ontario. You see 2006 and newer trucks rotted out up here. painted it 4 years ago now. the a/c stop working last year, think it's the compressor that's leaking, but didn't look...

    injector rebuilds

    I have a pile of injectors at home, i was just playing around with them the other day, tried to put this spring in that injector, and the dam thing wouldn't pop at all it would build to 4000 psi and no hint of popping. I guess all injectors are not created equally, the spring was considerably...

    94 idit motor compression test

    i'm very leary about the the compression being on the low side but on the + side of things is that they are all the same. so i'm probably going to throw it in and run some seafoam additive in the oil for bit and runner. the engine did run lowsy at that, but the injectors were vintage 93 and im...

I had put a different pump...
