    Diagnosing no start...

    So I drove my truck around to do something for my job, and I started getting the running out of fuel symptom of the motor surging like its got twice the power (neither tanks fuel guage works -_-), so I quickly switched tanks, and it eventually smoothed out. Got back to work and it sat for about...

    Finally got some pics of the new truck

    Here she is, my new 86 F-250. After some digging, I'm disappointed in my $900 purchase. You'll see why, I should have paid more attention to detail. OUCH, but easily fixable. Decent interior. Nice deck already installed. Very clean CB mount, sadly the CB does not...

    What would you do in this situation?

    So, my friend came across a 6.9 powered RV for free, I guess a relative gave it to him to just get rid of it. The engine has a thrown rod, but it has the ATS (he thinks) turbo kit on it, and it ran fine before the rod gave. My guess is the rod went due to the turbo, being that these engines...

    How much blow by is acceptable?

    So the 86 I just bought, as I discovered yesterday, has quite a bit of blow by at an idle. I take the oil fill cap off and boom, lot of smoke. Rev the engine, it goes almost completely away. At an idle, the blow by is so bad its coming out of my oil dipstick tube, with the dipstick fully in...

    I'mmm baaaaack! :D

    Well hello all, been a long time since I've been on. Just re-introducing myself, I was a frequent visitor here, I used to have an '84 single cab, 6.9 non turbo w/ c6 auto (my display pic), ran beautifully for the most part. Unfortunately a rather stupid lapse of judgement made me decide to trade...

    Wiring harness adapter?

    Hey everyone, been awhile since ive been on here. Unfortunately I was stupid enough to trade my idi for a pos jeep that wound up dying, and im looking at getting another idi simply because mine was the best truck I could ask for in terms of reliability, fuel economy and longevity. Im...

    timing advance question

    so my old mechanics teacher told me my truck hazes (or blows) gray smoke all over the damn place when i rev it from an idle saying i need to advance the timing a hair (which from my research more power and a bit better mileage is returned). now considering he, nor i, have the machine to...

    In need of a injector return line kit

    so after i get my trucks hubs replaced, fixing the 4wd (wow took me a year to both figure out and get around to fixing something so simple...), i popped my hood to check my oil and alas... diesel all over my #8 injector! my first thought was return lines, but it doesnt seem to suck any air...

    running hot...or not?

    hey OB, been a while since ive been on but ive been busy moving. anyways a couple of new quirks have surfaced on my 84, first off the temp guage is reading WAY hotter than normal, not to the point of overheating but very high. i know factory ford guages are just idiot sticks in these but its...

    Think i found the problem, possible solution?

    okay, so i managed to come up with the resources to further investigate the wheel bearing dilemma on my current d44hd axle, i took the locking hub mechanism off on the drivers side (which is the side all the squealing is coming from) and holy $h!t, theres tiny pieces of gravel and rust in there...

    so pissed

    okay. question. someone define the sound of a bad wheel bearing to me. is it a constant squeal, periodic chirp, what? i just thought about it, the noise it makes is only a periodic chirp, in a constant pattern. i thought about it, i do know my rotors are warped, could the chirp just be the wear...

    front end question

    okay, so the part that covers the end of the drive axles on the front end that the hub assembly mounts onto is called the spindle, correct? and if so, the so presumed spindles on the d50 i got has some surface rust on them, would i be able to get away with taking some scotch brite or steel wool...

    roll coal without affecting egts?

    another little daydream post. my friend and i were talking, what if you custom rigged some durable exhaust pipe, a small little 5 gal tank and small fuel pump wired to a manual switch in the cab, and mounted some sort of nozzle to inject diesel into the exhaust pipe, would the exhaust be hot...

    looking for a 4 speed to swap in down the road

    im lookin for a standard 4 speed overdrive manual tranny with the bell housing for an 84 6.9 to swap in down the road. preferably with transfer case but if the one on my c6 will swap over then i can do without. if anyone has one they would be willing to part with eventually let me know and we...

    axle codes?

    can anyone help me figure out what kind of axles the one tonners i bought are? im guessing its a d50 front with a sterling 10.25 rear, they came out of the same truck and i know theyre ford cause of the front axle IFS setup, the guy said they came off a 92 f-series but i need to know exactly...

    brake questions

    two questions on brake swaps, first, would i be able to take the drums/dust covers from my '84 dana 60 rear and swap them on to the '92 10.25 axles i got, being that came with no drums? as well as would i be able to take the calipers, pads and dust covers off my current front axles and use...

    the deezy is down for the night :(

    so i got home from changing the oil for a friend in the parking lot of hollywood video (lots of fun there... using a spare tire jack, no room to move under a toyota corolla and using the screwdriver trick to break the oil filter loose). parked, turned the truck off, and went inside to take a...
