    Help with 6.9 fuel system?

    Since it has a Banks turbo and you say that you can't see that return line, I'll assume that you have a big, air box that holds the filter. You'll have to remove that in order to get to the line. It's possible that it's another return line that's leaking instead of that one. I've seen a lot of...

    Rear main seal replacement

    Stop it now. I think along different lines when I read "Big Red".

    Rear main seal replacement

    In the shop I used to work in, we would wipe red Loc Tite around the crank before installing the sleeve.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    No I can't because it's not my tractor. In fact the poor guy driving it almost got a hernia from trying to turn it around in my yard because the power steering doesn't work. That wouldn't fly if it was mine.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    The Blue Truck and I spent some time with Scrappy today. She looks a little bit different now. The engine may not be savable. I was told that it turned 1/4 turn either way. Well not anymore. It was leaking oil out of the crankshaft holes where there used to be a flywheel bolted up so I knew that...

    True, but if you're like Dead Pool, you still won't die.

    I completely agree with this!

    Cleaning fluid related tools

    I've had pretty good luck with my Harbor Freight bleeder. I thought it went bad because it quit pulling out the old brake fluid. Something had gotten inside the end of the hose that goes over the bleeder valve and clogged it up. I cleared it out and it works great again.

    Rear main seal replacement

    I understood well enough. Those gaskets seem like they're welded to the engine and other parts. I've seen it enough times to know what it's like.

    Powerstroke 2 IDI no Turbo conversion

    The lifters and the piston cooling jets (I think) are the same. I agree here. They are. I had an intercooler line blow off of a '99 PSD during a test drive and it would barely move itself down the road. I doubt that it would have gone highway speed. No. This is NOT a IDI. Yes, it had a...

    Rear main seal replacement

    This is why I like to use a thin coat of RTV on both sides of most gaskets. It makes clean up SOOO easy the next time. The old gasket doesn't stick like this with the RTV in place.

    Oil Pressure Gauge reading way low

    Either one is a good brand. From what I've seen, Autometer is usually cheaper. Autometer also has a cheaper brand called Auto Gage. I think they're probably ok too.

    Installing engine and trans together.

    I've only pulled them out together. I also only did it one time and said "Never again!". The transfer case was off, and that stupid transmission still got hung up so many times that I was really regretting my decision. It was a wrecked truck. The hood was off and I cut the core support out of...

    "Snake Eyes" 1985 F350 Project Thread

    There's been other on here younger than you, but not too many. Keep up the good work. Slow and steady will get it done.

    Looking for insight

    Along those lines, last week I had a guy tell me how much rust my truck has. Of course he was a truck driver from Texas so it looks like a lot. I told him that trucks 20 years newer around here have the same amount or more rust than mine does. He did agree on that. Overall, I don't think it's...

    You should be ashamed of yourself for that! LOL

    Maybe someone ran used motor oil through it.

    Rear main seal replacement

    I think you're right. There doesn't look like there's a sleeve on there.

    Another good reason to stay out of Calif.

    Sounds like a nice place to me!

    Another good reason to stay out of Calif.

    My opinion is that it's all about control. It's a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas so it's easier to convince people that it's dangerous. It's also one of the least powerful of the so called greenhouse gasses so banning it really doesn't accomplish much in reality other than to give some...

    Yep. Mine has been on the same set of ZD1As since June of 2018.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I finally had to go get my spray rig to spray my yard. Between wind and rain, I just hadn't gotten around to it this year. Now for the difficult part. Somehow, I got into some ethanol gas despite my best efforts to avoid it. I had to clean the carb. The float bowl was full of water. In fact, I...

    Another good reason to stay out of Calif.

    This is absolutely, 100% correct. Not to mention that it's time for another grand solar minimum to begin. Some say that it's already starting. Maybe Cubey just couldn't get any worse mileage with his old RV? I know that the diesel in Colorado isn't too great either.

    Yes. You pull up someone's profile and there's a box that says "start a conversation".

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    It started yesterday. Actually it started not long after I installed my Powermaster starter. Every once in a while, I would just get a click when I tried to start the engine. I thought there was a bad spot in the starter. It was happening a little more often so I was thinking about a starter...
