    WVO and cleaning system

    Yes and yes-ish. The pictures I have are from when I built it, but I can go snap a few pics if you like. Just let me know where to send them.

    I do, but I have someone who's coming to get it in December

    93 F-250

    I forgot to mention that the driver side door is sagging. Paint now looks like it's been sitting under a tree for a couple of years.... because it has. These are from Aug 2018. I haven't emptied anything out of it yet. I have more, but it's taking forever to pull them off my phone.

    What batteries do you have in your idi?

    I ran 31s in my IDI. As far as brands, it was what ever O'reilly's had in stock since that's where I was at the last time my starter ate a set of batteries... They are Awesome! Still using one to start my Ford 1710 tractor. It's alternator is dead, so I trickle charge it a few times a...

    93 F-250

    I spent close to $2500 having the front axle rebuilt, so it would be nice to get something for the old girl. On the other hand, she isn't running, has been sitting in the driveway for a few years, and my wife has been threatening to call the scrap yard for over a year now. So, if someone is...

    WVO and cleaning system

    I have 300 to 400 gal of WVO that I need to get rid of. Must take it all. Most is in a 275 gal IBC tote. I can supply 55 gal poly or steel drums to put it in for $20 each. You're welcome to the tote as well. I have 2 more IBC Totes also available. I can pump into a tote in your truck or...

    93 F-250

    I'm selling my IDI if anyone is interested. It's been sitting for 3 years now, and I need it gone. If it doesn't sell, it goes to the scrap yard. Fuel pump went bad after I had purchased it's replacement (2000 power stroke), and couldn't justify the cost of another fuel pump to get it going...

    Battery upgrades?

    I was looking at the one's listed as Odessey which are $334ea. Looks like the 10% discount is still available, so that would put it at $600 for those batteries. The X2Power are $300 ea - 10%, so $540 for the pair. Not sure if there's shipping on that or not, but its still some serious coin to...

    Battery upgrades?

    That's almost $700 worth of batteries.... OUCH! My current batteries are holding up for now. Looks like I'll be pulling them out at some point to see what I need to do in order to fit some Group 31's in there. Now that I have a back up, I can afford to have a vehicle down for a few days to...

    A couple of quick questions.....

    I'd buy a new front tank and get that working before messing with the rear tank. Had to drop mine off the '93 due to a pin hole in the tank. That SUCKED! Having said that, if your open to replacing the fuel lines for it too, that might make it a lot easier. Either way, that's a great buy!

    Turbos?

    Good to know! I wouldn't have ever thought about that.

    Turbos?

    Will do. I wasn't sure if it was that easy, or if I needed to disassembly a little farther. I'm not willing to put time/$$ into the truck from a performance stand point. The underbody is too far gone to justify dumping resources into it. This will be my "Learner" Power Stroke. Learn to...

    Turbos?

    Thanks, I'll take a look. I'm actually not interested in letting the truck smoke. I have no desire to waste the fuel. Just want to make sure everything is working, and try to keep it that way for a while :)

    Turbos?

    Yes, I forgot that I hadn't put it in my sig yet. 2000 F350 Crew Cab, 170,000 miles. Everything is bone stock on her, except for the rust.... That was added later. Is there a tech article on checking the play? I've not even had the air filter out yet, so I'm a complete noob on this. All my...

    Turbos?

    Couple of questions about turbo chargers. First: How long do they typically last? After a couple of repairs I finally got my 2000 on the road today. Even when I test drove it back in Nov, it just didn't seem to have a lot of umf and I never hear it spool up. Having said that I can't get it...

    Battery upgrades?

    Mine don't. She starts hard when it's cold out. If I forget to plug in, they get the job done but it's iffy. I've killed more than one pair of group 59s in my '93 due to bad starters, bad glow plug, and operator error. Since going to the 31s I haven't had any problems.

    Battery upgrades?

    I've thought about the optima batteries also. When it's time to replace them I'm leaning towards the red tops at this point. Always wondered how they compared to group 59, 65, and 31s, and how the yellow tops measured up also.

    Battery upgrades?

    Is there an option to upgrade to a bigger/better battery on a 2000 350 crewcab? For instance I switched to group 31 battery's for my '93. Didn't know if a similar upgrade was available for the newer truck. Thanks Mark

    Harpoon mod worth doing?

    No joy. Wigs crv died in the walmart parking lot today. I believe the new starter is a dud. Either way had to get the truck back together so it's available to drive. Maybe next time.

    Harpoon mod worth doing?

    This is on a 2000 crew cab 4x4. Single 40 gal poly tank. I've had both tanks off my 93. Front tank was easy, back tank was a nightmare. Of course it was the one that sprung a leak so not replacing it wasn't really an option. This 40 gal tank wasn't bad at all. Still have the fill...

    Harpoon mod worth doing?

    So I have my tank partially dropped to give me room to replace part of the break line. I don't have the fuel lines off yet and would need to get the tools to take them off. Is it worth the time and effort to take it the rest of the way down to do the harpoon mod? Thanks Mark

    Fuel line leak/questions

    Taking the bed off would make it easier, but generally that helps the most when I'm trying to work on the sending unit, pick up lines, or anything that's actually inside the tank. For this job the tank really needs to come off since all the lines are sandwiched between it and the frame. It...

    Fuel line leak/questions

    I'm only guessing about the break line contributing because its in the same location as the break line leak, and it's up behind the frame where I would have thought that it was somewhat protected. I tried fordparts.com, but it wasn't any help. Their parts diagram only looks to go back to the...

    Fuel line leak/questions

    My 2000 Crew Cab 4x4 SRW has a single rear tank. I got it in Nov, and started working on it to get it road worthy over the holidays. Went to take care of the last item (leaking break line at the left rear tire), and notice that the break fluid had eaten through either the fuel line, or the...

    Breakline issues

    Took another look at it this afernoon. Looks like it would be easy enough to snake some new line through there, but it also looks like it has eaten a hole through the fuel return line... Woo Hoo!!! Love buying used trucks
