    New build ideas

    Hey all, I have been lurking around the web and found where people have put a mechanical pumps on a PS and made good power. (JUST TO MAKE IT CLEAR). I am not looking to make a pulling truck or a dyno monster! Just a good reliable truck without all the electronics. I just replaced the...

    Help I NEED a PCM

    I got my project up and on the road but it has quite a stumble in it. It is most apparent after it gets warm. It acts as if the IDM is being shut off momentarily and in high gear it is pretty rough. I had my neighbor's scanner and pulled a 603 code while it was running. "0603 PCED...

    Wow! It works

    Hey all, Just a Pic to show off all the hours of detailing to the interior of my project. I have discovered a product that works really good. It's called Super Protectant by Turtle Wax Co. I normally don't plug stuff but for trucks such as this I was impressed by just how well it worked. The...

    #2 Relay is clicking fast.

    Like the title says my relay is clicking rapidly. I am trying to get the truck to start consistently BUT, No luck. I have noticed that when it isn't making noise it will run. If you put the ignition to the run position it more times than not does it. Thanks in advance

    Just a lil' gloating

    HEY EVERYBODY!!!! I just picked this up for a song. Not really, I can't sing so I gave him $900. instead. It needed a serious bath and a couple injectors. But I should have it going soon. Oh, it has gooseneck rails in the floor, 100 gal tank in rear, airbags for the rear axle...

    Parting out a '91 CC w/ 7.3

    Hey all. If this if the wrong place to post it I'll move it, anyhow. I have a running CC dually that I am considering parting out. Less the 5 speed trans and tires. The body is less than wonderful shape but the the red interior panels and dash are in great shape, no cracks. I was thinking...

    Swingin' fo the fence

    Hey all, I have decided to go all in on switching my ride to run exclusively on wvo. Only using the factory tanks for start up and shut down. I am taking the existing bed off, replacing it with a flat bed. Then fabricating a diamond plate cell to hold approx. 180 gallons. I will be keeping...

    What do you think I'll get??

    Call it laziness, but I'm sure someone already has done a thread on MPG on WVO. I am planning a trip in december and am wanting to get info in the mileage before I make the jump into making the setup go. (Prolly a stupid question) but I'm asking anyhow.

    Pretty proud of her

    Last night I drove down to Tampa to get a 20' container with a reefer unit. I didn't realize exactly how heavy these things really are,:eek: it felt to be in the +5K neighborhood. We got it on the gooseneck and headed back home. With it probably not timed correctly and having ~40,000 in the...

    Brake problem

    I was driving in traffic yesterday. When I had to get on the binders pretty hard to keep from running a red light. When the light turned green and I tried to move it acted like the E-brake was on. I had to put in in first to get it to move off the road and out of traffic. I tapped on the...

    I think it's it.

    I have been having a growing problem with getting my motor lit once it has sat for a while. Overnight and in the parking lot at work. I am beginning to believe that the lift pump is the culprit. The motor worked fine in the donor truck, barely turning over before it fired. I think the...

    How 'bout it?

    I got to thinking. What's stopping us from having a get together here in FL? Nothing... So, how about the IDI people in the land of the newly wed and the nearly dead having a meeting somewhere? Any suggestions? Probably would be best after the new year sometime.

    Brrrrr

    I am thinking about going on the road doing powerplant outages. Many of the possible places to go are in cold country. What is needed to properly winterize these trucks. Probably an easy one for most, but to those who have only seen the white stuff once, Necessary. Janos1

    Where do I go?

    I would like to get my motor timed correctly but I am not able to go to the rally up in cold country to do it. Do I have to go to the dealer or are there other options?

    Here's one for you

    I just did a motor swap on my CC. It runs great but It seems like the IP is losing it's prime if it sits overnight or in the parking lot at work. What gives.. Perhaps the return lines letting air back in the system? It is'nt leaking around the IP anywhere. Any ideas??

    Do they still do it?

    I remember building motorcycle motors that high cyl pressure (35lbs of boost on top of the 10:1 compression). We would put a small counterbore around each cyl. to nest a small copper ring to contain the pressure. Has anyone tried something like that in these motors? I have my project motor...

    Are they out of their minds??

    I called up the dealedship to see about getting some new rubber rad. donuts for under the rad. mount. To the tune of 125.00 each!! Also Autozone or any other stores don't carry them. WTF!! I just got the motor swapped out. Now I can't put the front end back on beacuse of this...

    911 - What am I overlooking???

    I have been fervently wrenching on this truck for four days! I have bled everythingfrom top to bottom. Removed the GP's and checked them in person. Re hooked the GP controller and it works fine. Swapped out the IP and put new return lines on. The FSS is clicking, and it seems to be in...

    Rebuild RFQ

    I just swapped the IP and the injectors out of the CC. What's the running price on getting the lot a solid go thru?

    Won't Start, Been sitting a while

    I just got a '90 CC F-350, I swapped out the starter, cleaned the cables and put some hot batteries in. It seems to want to go but isn't. Any ideas?? It has been sitting for a couple years I think. Does the lifters leak down like gassers? I checked the schrader valve and fuel is steady and...

    Where is it

    sorry about such a redundant question but where is the article that explanes how to wire up the GP timer. I've looked everywhere. I read it once but I can't seem to find it now. The one that is on it was wired incorrectly and when you turn on the ign. sw. it clicks on and off about every half...

    Re assure me

    Hey all, I just got my "new" truck in the driveway. She's a '90 F-350 CC non turbo with a ZF5. It has been sitting a bit so it has the usual musty smell that cars have and it needs a bath. BUT I only spent $1,250 for it. I have an extended cab and I was just getting it for parts. Instead...

    What's that noise??

    I have a noise that resembles a wristpin tapping. How would I be able to check the fuel system to make sure that its not a fuel related problem.

    Will it fit??

    Hey all, There is a guy that lives down the road from me that has a 1996 F-350 powerstroke dually that has a 5 speed in it. Will that tranny and stuff make the jump to my 1990 F-250 IDI w/ a E40D?? If not why. Thanks Janos
