    Pick up tubes and filler neck upgrade.

    I have called several auto parts stores in regards to replacing my pick up tubes in my fuel tanks. They all are telling me there is no such a thing. So how do I repair my tubes. Just clamp a piece of hose onto it? I haven't taken them apart yet as I am still driving the truck. Either way, how...

    Any 4bt's out there?

    Thank you, I was wondering if I could bolt one up to a ZF5 out of a Ford 3/4 or 1 ton. I am wanting all of this in my 66 F100 short wide.

    Any 4bt's out there?

    I was referring to the isuzu engine you were describing. Those engines would come in the little white flat nose trucks right? I tried researching the isuzu applications, but to no avail. I will just have to keep asking questions.

    tranny jack and removal help please

    Just a little pointer for you. That new flywheel is going to be heavy. The bolt pattern on the crankshaft does not make a complete circle. Get some all thread the same size as the flywheel bolts, at least 2. Put one by the gap, or missing bolt hole on the crankshaft. Put the other one...

    What is going on with my tranny/clutch!

    Well crap....that is not good news. I already have a rebuilt oil-cooler waiting to get installed...LOL That was the easiest part of your whole post! LOL Can I just jack the cab up a few inches? Use a cherry picker or a hoist to lift the motor high enough? Would it be easier to do this with...

    Any 4bt's out there?

    Well I need to research that then. Since it is not an IDI, I assume I would need to get the computer from the donor vehicle. Is that correct?

    Differential Questions

    My '05 dually has a 3.73 LS with disc. It is a 4WD truck. What year ranges are inter-changeable? I found an '02 dually 3.73 LS with drum, can I swap my disc brakes onto that? What is the difference? My axle tube has separated from the pumpkin housing. I have been told my 2 differential...

    What is going on with my tranny/clutch!

    Well, I checked and there is no oil on the clutch. The oil pan is leaking I am going to need to remove it and reseal it. I am not looking forward to that. The slave cylinder is operating correctly. As is the throwout bearing. There is no binding at all. I pulled my gooseneck dump trailer...

    What is going on with my tranny/clutch!

    Yes I even read the disk. I do appreciate you asking. I torqued to to 20lbs. I am going to just see how bad that oil leak is. I will get some brake clean and have a buddy push in the clutch. Spray it and clean it and see if that changes things up a bit.

    What is going on with my tranny/clutch!

    That is about right. Clutch pedal feels good. In first it is almost immediate grab from the floor. I usually take off in second and the travel you mentioned is about right.

    What is going on with my tranny/clutch!

    No, I installed a new "luk" single mass. I do have an oil leak. I have been watching it, the flywheel seems very clean still. I replaced the rear main oil seal. I see no leaking from it. I will inspect it closer. When I installed the clutch it was clean, it went from the plastic to the...

    Any 4bt's out there?

    Where in the world can a guy even find one? I am curiously contemplating putting a 4bt in my '66 slick. It is a 2wd shortwide. Would that be a good marriage? I would obviously trash the 3 on the tree, I would prefer to stay with a manual transmission. It would obviously need power steering...

    BAD DAY!

    Well more bad news. My axle shaft separated from my pumpkin housing. I called Chevrolet and gave them my VIN#. I have a 3.73 LS. Now I need a whole new rear-end. Anyone have one laying around? I would obviously buy it..LOL Mine has disc rear brakes. My truck is a 4WD as well. I have...

    What is going on with my tranny/clutch!

    I just got this thing running last week. New clutch installed. I have been driving it and it is doing great, except for today. I noticed that in 4th gear and 5th gear it feels like it is slipping maybe. Engine rpms rev up but the transmission feels like it is barely keeping up. I let off...

    86 F250 Deal

    Is that a "brick nose"? I thought that style went from '87 to '91. This one looks like an '82 to '86. I know '80 and '81 have the same contours as the '82 to '86, but the grilles are different. My body style on my current F250 goes from '92 to '97 I thought. What is the nickname for the '80...

    86 F250 Deal

    OK, I am taking pictures tomorrow if all goes according to plans. Here is a list of what the 1200 is getting. 1 - 1986 6.9 n/a C6 2 WD clean straight body no rust. The rear axle code is C9, I think it is limited slip 3.55 floating. I was told it does run, and I can hear it run before I buy...

    86 F250 Deal

    That is kinda what I was thinking. I just don't know if I can afford to sit on parts for a while. I still haven't made up my mind completely. I do know the ATS turbo has been rebuilt, it looks like it has and they have the receipts. One of the oil coolers has been rebuilt too, the other one...

    86 F250 Deal

    Well ok then. Thanks for the input. That is why I was asking. He did say 1200. So I guess this is not a good deal then. Thanks, sorry if this post upset you. John

    Clutch replacement questions.

    Well I am back home now. Whew, you talk about a good time. Man I want to do that again. We scared up some pheasant and I have to say that I shot my first one ever. It was on the second day. I got my limit that day. Lots and lots of walking through corn, milo fields and shelter belts. The...

    Clutch replacement questions.

    DONE! RUNNING AND DRIVING! OVER BABY! Soft clutch. Doesn't feel as hard as the DMF clutch. I have heard several talk about noise doing this conversion. Mine is pretty quiet, can't really tell a difference. I replaced the GP's but now I have no WTS light. I don't know what I did wrong. I...
