    Quick glow plug question

    You slip the hose over the end of the plug and use it as a guide/tool to start threading the glow plug in. much easier to just have to get a socket on them for the final tightening

    C-15 questions packrat?

    Its been a while since I checked in here. I have been over at the diesel garage with most of my HD stuff. I put the Donaldsons on the KW and it seems to have picked up 20HP on the seat-o-pants meter. Which is about half a gear on most hills. Other up sides are it seems to spool a tad...

    Quick glow plug question

    Thanks Calvin! ;Sweet Should I be worried too much about torqueing the glow plugs? I looked in all my ford manuals for the 94IDI and could not find the torque spec.'s either. I spent more damn time looking for my little piece of fuel hose to aid in installing the damn glow plugs than I...

    Options 1,2,3 were my first thoughts but what else would be needed? compressor, foot valve, parking valve, tanks, what else??? I would LOVE to ditch the damn juice brakes that just had $3K+ Put into them and still suck. As for #why the hell would I disgrace my nice national crane by putting...

    Anyone offer rear disc brake convertion kits?

    Its the internal dimensions that are different. The f-350 master uses an 1 1/8" bore and the later 98 F-350 uses an 1-1/4 bore diameter and the f-450 uses a 1 5/16" bore diameter I believe they are the same external casting just reamed for different bores.

    Bonded vs. Riveted

    The only NEW style bonded pads that I have heard that have problems are Bendix. Their stuff used to be the cats ass, but lately every bendix part I have bought seems to be a lesser quality than I remember. The NEW bonded pads even have an anti noise anti Squeal vibration diminishing layer to...

    Headlamp assembly replacement

    I replaced the headlights in my OLE 87 CC DRW when I had it repainted. As I recall its really a simple matter! Its been a long while since I had that truck so from faint memory there's maybe three 10MM nuts that hold on the head light and 2-3 10MM nuts that hold in the marker lamp. access to...

    BLOWER MOTOR ???

    What your describing is exactly what I was experiencing in my 85. I thought the ducts were bleeding air. So I got some aluminized duct tape and sealed everything up. I mean every where there was a seam in the stock ducting got it covered with tape. NO difference to air volume at MAX...

    BLOWER MOTOR ???

    I replace the blower motor in my 85 to the tune of about a hundred bucks, only to see no benefit found the real cause of low air volume to be the evaporator clogged with dirt and dust and animal hair. Pull the plenum off the firewall to expose your condenser and gently house out all the crap...

    More Chaos From The High Plains

    Wow if that excavator ripped that far into that bridge, I don't think I would feel comfortable driving on that bridge ever again. For all intensive purposes that should have ripped that machine clear of the lowbed or snapped the boom off but damn I would have never thought it would have gouged...
