    hello

    Joe F350, when you said on FTE that I sound like your girlfriend, I did not quite expect you to start following me around on the IDI forums :p But people say you are mostly okay, so I guess I can be nice and forgive you this one time ;) As someone said to me, welcome to "the other dark side"...

    know wat this is

    And this is the transmission evil, no? Type F is for old transmissions, and power steering pumps. Not E4OD.

    Dually axle in SRW truck

    Real cats need no help in catching a puny mouse :) But if you must help, be careful where you point that gun, we do not want any collateral damage amongst the cat population of your home ;)

    tach not working, gearbox in limp mode, what to do?

    Huse, not sure if this will be of any help to you at all, but while looting and pillaging a junkyard several months ago I found an '80s truck with an IDI diesel engine and a tachometer - from my limited knowledge on Fords this truck was too old to have any computer in it, yet it had a...

    I think i finally get it!

    Tehe, well thank you! So if I understand everything properly, he can pull a house while barely on the gas pedal, but when it comes to top speed I will run circles around him because my engine turns so much faster? And by the way, for me to start a pissing contest would be pointless, if anything...

    I think i finally get it!

    Towcat, so my question was not really a silly one, but I am still a moron for not noticing in his signature that he has a "fummins" in his truck :angel:

    Hi-Torque Starters

    So then, 50/50 on reliability, but Nippondenso wins at engine-cranking speed, thus making Nippondenso the better starter?

    Hi-Torque Starters

    David, actually I joined this site the same day I joined the other one, but the things you discuss here are usually way way out of my league, so I just hide in the shadows most of the time.

    I think i finally get it!

    This may be a very silly question, but would it not be easier to readjust the injection pump so it is governed at higher RPMs? My friend says there is a spring in there that can be pulled from a GM-issue pump and installed into my 3700 rpm Ford pump and that will make it capable of around 4000...

    Hi-Torque Starters

    I have a question - my friend says someone on here who is a professional mechanic (or owns a repair shop, or something like that) once mentioned that Mitsubishi starters are more reliable when it comes to starting with low batteries, and that the Nippondenso starters crank the engines faster but...

    *&#%$!!! Did I buy the wrong booster?

    This is very common issue among the Chevy/GMC crowd, every now and then someone will develop a leak in their factory hydroboost thing and buy a new one and return the old one as a core on the spot, then when they get home they realize the new booster did not come with the pushrod (and some other...

    hello!

    Towcat, thanksyou! And I added the link that I wanted too - scary how little gauges these trucks have, and how many it's nice to have...

    This needs an idi Motor....

    I only saw it once, it was attached to a well pump or something, it was a farm equipment so to speak. Never did hear it run, it just looked so cool! And now imagine it as a diesel!

    hello!

    Okay, I'm a total idiot, I deleted a post when I only wanted to edit it with a link... Oh well, stupidity strikes again. Anyways, thanks for the welcomes guys, and I'll be reading through the tech stuff, tho I may find stuff I'd like done to this truck and there goes my paycheck... RLDLS...

    This needs an idi Motor....

    Was that "big-block V6" not the base for the 702 V12 "twin-six" GMC engines? The valve covers most certainly look similar...

    38 Gallon Rear Fuel Tank

    I think I can get this right - this is what you need: http://broncograveyard.com/bronco/i-30216-gas-tank-33-gallon-plastic-90-96.html The steel version of it lives in my truck, just filled it up today and I'm still about to cry when I think of the painful experience that was paying for all...

    Front tank runs out at half but actually has half a tank left

    Ah, just when I thought I could spread some of my limited knowledge, I got beat to it. Anywho, Knuckledragger explained it best - we were fortunate enough to where the shower heads in both tanks of my "new" truck were still intact, but one of the floats was dead, and since all the spare floats...

    hello!

    Okay then I will ask! Just you wait, something will show up soon enough, tehe! Brandon, I well I'm a total idiot and I got lost in the tech stuff, but there is a section for FAQs too, so this is where I should probably start, right? But, I really really want this now...

    hello!

    I was recommended to join this board and I just registered, so let me introduce myself: I'm a 24-y-o bimbo (and I'm 110% proud of it, tehe!) who can drink tequila by the gallon and prepare sushi faster than greasy light moves, and also happen to be the "new" owner of an IDI-powered Ford ;Sweet...
