    For Sale-a few items left over from my turbo install

    I have a few parts that I no longer need since I installed a factory turbo kit. I have the N/A valves covers which are still in pretty decent shape. The remaining emissions sticker on the driver's side cover is still readable. Not much rust and come with the bolts and "washers". I also have the...

    Question for Facet Duralift owners

    Last fall, I installed a Facet Duralift electric lift pump on the right side inner fender in the engine bay of my truck. It has worked great. At the time I installed it, I also installed an electric Autometer fuel pressure gauge in a dash pod. The gauge sender is remotely mounted to the right...

    Opinions needed! Ford factory IDI turbo kit

    I have a chance to buy a Ford oem turbo kit. The guy wants $400.00 for it and says it is complete except for the cross over pipe. It is about a three hour drive for me and I am thinking of going to take a look at it tomorrow. I got him to send me a pic of the intake side of the turbo. He says...

    Getting ready for another Wisconsin winter, or my own little version of hell

    My truck has been down for a while as I sent my IP and injectors out to Russ @typ4 for rebuild testing. While the truck has been down, I have been trying to get it ready to spend another 6 months in the salt. It is depressing how rusted everything gets, and it is a losing battle trying to fight...

    OBS XLT blue manual window door panels

    These are mine listed on ebay right now. In decent condition and priced fairly. The big problem is the shipping cost. The shipping box is huge but they are well packaged. Thanks for looking. http://www.ebay.com/itm/142302483850?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649

    WTB "gooseneck" towing mirror head

    I am looking to purchase an OEM "gooseneck" towing mirror head to replace the broken one on my 1994 F350. The mirror head looks like the one in the link I have posted. I know this has been covered before, and Towcat has suggested in other threads trying to find one from a Retrac dealer, as...

    Just doing some cleaning and organizing since it is the after the first of the year. I came across some parts in my stash that are free for the asking in order get them out of my shop. Well, they aren't completely free - you have to pay for the shipping! 1.) I have a Dorman accelerator cable...

    7.3 IDI head bolts from my '94

    I installed ARP studs on my truck, so I no longer need these head bolts that I took out. Yeah, I know they are used, but they still seem pretty decent. Anyway, I am going to scrap 'em unless somebody wants 'em. While the bolts are free, the 34 bolts add up to bit of weight, but if ya want 'em, I...

    Help with AC compressor clutch wiring

    So I ditched the crappy dealer AC that I have fought to keep working the 5 years and installed the under hood plenum and wiring from a 1995 parts truck. The wiring in the plenum connected up directly with the cab harness under the passenger's kick panel. Turning the heat/ac dash control to AC, I...

    Dorman 904-226 oil cooler tube

    After "de-rusting" and cleaning up both my original oil cooler tube, and the spare tube I purchased, I am less than enthusiastic about installing either one. The spare tube may still be okay, but the original tube seems really "thin" after the rust on the outside has been removed. Of course, the...

    AC Compressor replacement-correct oil and correct amount

    So I will be replacing the dealer installed AC setup in my truck with OEM type components. I purchased a used engine side AC plenum as the dealer installed one was cheesy. The evaporator in the used plenum looks like new, and when I removed the orifice tube, it only had a couple of small...

    WTB OBS 92-97 Passenger side crew cab rear door lower hinge spring

    The spring on the right side rear door of my 94 CC has broken in two. I would like to buy just the spring, but one rivet has to be drilled out so I will buy the whole hinge if somebody has one. Dorman makes a half-xss replacement hinge spring for the front doors but nothing is available for the...

    Ford Crew Cab rear door hinge springs

    I know there are a lot of 80-97 crew cab owners on here, and with the age of our trucks, issues like this are bound to come up. The spring on passenger's side rear door hinge broke in two the other day. Not a huge deal, but it would be nice if the door could be held open. Dorman makes a "spring"...

    7.3 Head Gasket Replacement-ARP Head Stud Install

    As some of you know, the driver's side hg on my truck was seeping coolant at the rear of the head. Not much of a leak really, but annoying nonetheless. Russ (typ4) suggested trying the Irontite sealer in the blue lettered bottle, and that did seal up the small leak quickly. However, the water...

    Body parts for you guys in the Rust Belt!

    Saw this one on Craigslist - located in Des moines, Iowa. Engine is apparently toast but look at all those great body parts! Wish I had the time and a trailer. Sure, it is 2 wheel drive, but all those great body parts, good interior and a complete turbo kit - somebody needs this thing so i...

    Cooling System Pressure Test Results

    Over the last six months, I have noticed that I have had to add a little coolant to the overflow reservoir every once in a while as the level has very slowly dropped. I replaced the reservoir (Thanks, Brian!) as mine was cracked on top. I have kept my eyes open for residue, drips, stains...

    Interesting IDI glow plug harness listed on eBay

    I saw this glow plug harness listed on eBay and the "bullet connectors" seem really beefy - never seen ones like that before. http://www.ebay.com/itm/181939762632?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Has anybody else seen connectors like this or know where to get 'em? I...

    7.3 IDI E4OD parts for pulling the pump and more!

    Well, it does not look like I will have to pull the pump on my E4OD again anytime soon (yeah, I know, I just jinxed myself!). I bought the small parts needed for pulling the the trans and splitting the pump, so I may as well sell them to somebody who could use them. Parts I have: qty 9 E4OD pump...

    IH Oil Cooler Tube Part Number 7.3 IDI

    Well,I have searched the PARTS BIN and the threads and have not come up with a definite answer. Does anybody have the IH part number for the oil cooler tube for our trucks? I am assuming, of course, that the same tube was used by IH and Ford, but maybe I am wrong in that assumption? I am...

    What engine paint is a close match for the IH gray??

    I bought some new injectors from Russ and will be installing those soon, but I also have to reseal the IP gear cover because of an oil leak. Since the IP is coming out to reseal the gear cover, I thought it would be a great time to clean up the top of the engine and paint the injector lines and...

    Fluid chnage in E4OD throws a code!

    Fluid change in E4OD throws a code! Today I changed the trans fluid on my E4OD. I followed the procedure in the write up in the tech articles. I drained the fluid (I have a deep pan that holds two extra quarts and has a drain plug). Then I disconnected the cooler return line at the rear of the...

    IP gear cover oil leak at valley pan

    Quite a while back, Mel posted up a pic in thread of a way to "clamp" the IP gear to the cover to keep it form moving and thereby be able to remove the cover with the pump. I thought I had that thread saved in my subscriptions, but I'll be darned if I can find. I ran a search and could not find...

    Brick/OBS sill plate screws - anyone know the Ford part number??

    I have to do some touch up to the door sills on my truck and need to remove the plastic sill plates and weatherstripping. Of course, those little screws through the plastic sill plates are rusted pretty good and will probably need to be drilled out. Anybody happen to know the Ford part number...
