    Chicken lights

    Not sure how to run the wires between the skins. My truck didn't have the headliner in it when I bought so that's why they're exposed, otherwise I would have them tucked up in the headliner. Thanks, the bumper was on the truck when I bought it. I bought the truck to use for my off road rig but...

    Chicken lights

    At night they're pretty bright, not so much in daylight. Pic below of just them on in my garage after installation. Daytime pic too. I just ran the included wire and scotch locks inside to connect them together, then ran a wire down the A pillar to my headlight switch. The running lights are...

    3G Swap, No Start

    Got it figured out. Ended up being I missed a wire. Just gotta go through and rewire it to look neater and fuse it. Got 14.32-ish volts at idle.

    3G Swap, No Start

    Wasn't sure what to get a pic of so this is what I took. My connections are on the backside of the alternator(toward engine). Don't know if it'll help you much... The blue tap splice on the yellow is the other yellow wire that came from my original voltage regulator with the other yellow wire...

    3G Swap, No Start

    I'll try to get some decent pics. I wasn't sure how much of the original harness needed to be left so there's still most of it there. When you say you have your yellow/white to the "power lug on the back", are you meaning the stud on the alternator or what?

    3G Swap, No Start

    The alternator I got still had the plug on it but the wires were cut on it. The info I read said to get the entire wiring harness from the car or one from a crown vic would work too. None of the yards in my area had the harness apparently. Doesn't make sense to me why not, but I couldn't get it...

    3G Swap, No Start

    I bought an 86 F-250 6.9 that supposedly ran great. Well, turns out it needs a lot of work but the original alternator was shot and while looking for a replacement, I found some info about swapping a 90s 3G alternator on the truck. So I went out picked up a 130 amp unit from a 91 Mercury Sable...

    Look what I found on the truck!

    I tried to hug a tree once. It snapped and I ended kissing the ground instead. Everyone knows to leave my stuff alone too. They know I have guns and know how to use them. On some of the other trucks I've had, I put a sticker that said redneck on the back window. That seemed to help.

    IDIs are missed

    My 6.9 is my first diesel truck. Even though it doesn't put down 500hp or 1000 ft-lbs. of torque, I still love it. The biggest thing I love about it so far is that parts are cheaper than a PSD or Cummins. I tried to sell my truck and now I'm glad that I didn't have any serious offers on it. I...

    Oil Burners turbo kit

    I'd be interested in this if it could be done cheaper than a regular IDI kit or trying to find a factory turbo. I live about an hour from a good sized salvage yard that has everything from cars to heavy equipment, so I'd be willing to bet that I could pick up the turbo fairly cheap. But of...

    6.9 into OBS Ford

    I think I would have to put a new pickup tube in my front one anyway since the gauge only works above 1/2 a tank. But thanks for the heads up

    6.9 into OBS Ford

    Ok on the EFI stuff. And as good a deal as that sounds, I was kinda hoping to pick up a truck for like 500 or less and just swap mine in. Plus I'd have to get it clear across the state. Right now I'm working 1 day a week and trying to find another part time job or even odd jobs, so I'm saving...

    6.9 into OBS Ford

    Ok, I just read the 1st page on yours and the guy talking about the fuel system was something else I was worried about. I was told on another forum where I asked about this swap and a guy that's swapping a 6.9 into a 90 gasser is just using the factory EFI system. He's leaving the in tank pumps...

    6.9 into OBS Ford

    Ok, now its starting to make more sense. I'm hoping to find a 92-94 7.3 idi/ZF5 to do this with so its basically all bolt in. I just wanted to know what I was going to have to do if I got stuck with a gasser. It would be really sweet if I found one with a bad motor that still has the turbo on it...

    6.9 into OBS Ford

    I hate that mix. -cuss Will the adapter plate on my 6.9 bolt the the zf5 or would i have to get the plate off a 7.3 and bolt it to my 6.9?

    6.9 into OBS Ford

    Ok. But so I can try to understand better, does my motor, being an IH, have an adapter plate to bolt to my t-19? The truck is all stock(with the exception of the mods in my sig) and its the factory drivetrain, right down to the stupid D44 front end. It was my understanding that I could pull my...

    6.9 into OBS Ford

    My 6.9 donor truck is my DD so I haven't torn into it yet to see what's what. I'm still looking for the receiver truck. And this adapter plate, motor/tranny mating stuff is kind of confusing me, but it'll probably make more sense when I get stuff taken apart and can see it. :confused::dunno

    6.9 into OBS Ford

    Take the adapter off of which block? I would guess a 7.3?
