    Need Injectors

    -and he has satisfied customers. I just got a set from Typ4 that should be installed shortly. Update- Installed by a local mechanic. More power, smoother running, quieter, easier starting. It really sounds like a different motor. Next: the injector pump ...

    Best Way to Stop Engine

    If I put the rig in neutral and turn the key off, the engine puts a lot of torque on the transmission when it stops and rattles a good bit. If I put it in gear and put a minor load on it, it will stop 'cleanly' (at least it seems that way). Is there any disadvantage to shutting it down...

    Adding old gas/premix to diesel tank

    I have a gallon of 6-month-old premix from my chainsaw. It's in the 40 degree range outside these days. Would the truck have a problem with me dumping that into a full tank of diesel?

    1990 F250 - F350 compatability

    I see uhaulparts.com has plenty of things for 1990 F350. I have a 1990 F250 4x4. Are the parts usually interchangeable? I was thinking of things like master cylinder, starter, a/c compressor and so on.

    Manual transmission - when do you shift for fuel economy?

    I have put about 100 miles on my '90 F250 so far; a very interesting rig. My other car is a 2000 VW Jetta TDI; another diesel with a 5 speed. In 1st and Reverse ... no throttle is needed to pull away from a dead stop in an empty truck. The tach goes up to something like 4k, which seems...

    High idle ok ?

    That wouldn't surprise me. The truck sounds fine in both instances, but I'm too new at it to know what 'right' sounds like.

    Firewall Re-inforcement plate

    I just recently acquired my 1990 F250 and I can hear the ugly noises from the dash when pressing the clutch on a cold morning. I need to crawl around a bit to make sure it doesn't have a kit already (if it does, it's wrong). Having read the previous pages .... Freedbird, do you still...

    High idle ok ?

    I have a 1990 F250 7.3 I have been working up; 137k miles so i's just broken in. A curious thing- I start it cold at about 25 degrees and it goes to high idle. After 5-10 minutes it drops to low idle of 650 or so, but showing little on the temp gauge. I drive around awhile and notice my...
