    Turbo options.

    Look into hypermax. Im not really a banks fan because they are expensive and you really pay for the name. I have some friends that use the hpermax kit and love it, kit was around 2000 bones or so

    Injection Pump source

    Thedieselstore.com has pumps for 500 or so, both for the 6.9 and 7.3. Ive ordered 2 of them for random projects and have had no complaints. Shipping is quick too, but then again, I live at Ft. Lewis and they are in portland.

    Farkin' Injector line leak

    Take a standard size 5/8 line wrench and cut it till it's about 1.5" - 2" long. I drilled a hole in mine and threaded some 550 cord thru the hole so I could pull it up without prying on anything.

    new sending unit, gauge pegs

    Just for shits and giggles I put a good spare rear tank reheostat on the front sending unit and lo and behold, it works. Ohm reading for the rear was 168 ohms empty and 19 full. It reads 3/4 tank when I know it has alittle less than half in the tank. WTFE it works (What THE F*** EVER). But I...

    cdr delete?

    What I did was block both of the holes in the tray and the back of the intake hat and put a breath filter in place of the oil fill cap. Looks like there is a fire under the hood, but oil consumption has declined slightly. Imma run this truck till the engine melts and swap in the idit I have...

    new sending unit, gauge pegs

    I did. The gauge reads 73 ohms at empty and 10 ohms at full. That exactly what the ford unit puts out, maybe I grabbed a crap unit from the crapyard? This is getting frustrating, I might just keep playing "guess the miles" until I figure something out. But I need to fix this asap because I...

    new sending unit, gauge pegs

    Welp, I wired an after market equis gauge and still the same thing, except it pegs in the opposite direction. Im wondering if the tank is grounding to the straps which tie into the frame. God this has me frustrated like no other. I ran new wires and everything is the same except the gauge...

    new sending unit, gauge pegs

    Its like 73 ohms at empty and 16-20 at full. Hesutton, The gauge works as Im dipping it into the tank. When the reheostat is half way covered in fuel, it pegs. I have an equis after market gauge (pn 7361) imma try to wire in and bypass the all the wiring to the cluster, since the factory...

    Shackle reversal and body lift gonna bite the bullet

    A cheaper way to do the shackle is to build the front cross member. With the factory rears up front with the overload, you will gain around 5" of lift. Enough to easily clear 37's. With the RUF, use the factory rear spring shackles or you can build your own, I used the stockers with 1/4"...

    new sending unit, gauge pegs

    I got a 1988 f-250 with the 6.9 idi. Well the fuel gauge starting waving at me and then went out. I swapped a new sending unit and now the gauge pegs out way past the full mark. Tank is stock and the sending unit was a direct replacement. Whats stumping me is when the unit is out of the tank, it...

    Dana 60 swap- what is needed, what to look for?

    If it has the one "arm", it's set up for just crossover steering. All you would need now is the tie rod from a one ton ford that came with a 60 under the front. Get one for the 87-91 f350, those came with the kp axles. You may have to buy the drag link for the crossover set up, I run high...
