    WTB - Doug Nash DNE2 / US Gear Underdrive

    Specifically looking for an *under*drive. Needs to be Ford spline count. Don't need the adapter, control or any of that (though will take it if available), and doesn't need to be in great shape as long as it's not blown up. I've got a idi dump truck for around the farm use and the 4.10/T-19...

    WTB: 80-86 Driver's Fender

    Anyone in the PNW have a good one floating around? Tan and without any molding holes would be ideal, but I'll work with what I can find. Mine appear to have gotten crunched into a tree at some point while the tweaker had it and I haven't had time to run around finding a replacement.

    Stolen IDI

    Sad news - some low life types swiped my truck last month while I was out at sea. Not good, but hopefully it shows up. I'd appreciate it if you guys could keep your eyes open for the truck or any parts that might show up. I'm going to be completely out of contact for the next 2 months or so and...

    (2) Brownie OD boxes - $150 ea - northwest WA

    Not mine, found this add and I know there's folks off an on wanting to use a brownie box od. I'd grab them to resell down the road but I'm leaving on deployment and can't. Hope someone can use them. https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/hvo/5904501936.html

    Defective LUK Throwout Bearing

    Anyone have issue with a LUK SM clutch having a bad throwout bearing? I pulled the truck down last month to replace a bad ring gear and decided it would be wise to do the clutch at the same time even though the old one only had ~50k on it. New one seems to have a bad throwout - as soon as...

    Finally fixed the rattle...

    Had a front end rattle for quite a while I was never able to really figure out. (mind you I never really tried that hard) Finally took a close look at the shock mounts and realized the problem...... Both sides are the same, so I never really noticed. Explains the rattle though. $64...

    Norcal Folks - Free 86 Cab & Chassis

    Cross posted off the pirate board - guy is Redding is giving away a decent looking tan 86 F250 (I-6 2wd) - no engine or trans, and it looks like a semi floating rear, so lighter GVW but still looks like lots of nice body parts. Looks like he'll let you come take parts off of it. However, he is...

    4wd DNE2 Project

    After some 5+ years of contemplating this project I've finally actually gotten somewhere. :rotflmao The goal is to mount a US Gear/Doug Nash dual range box somehow behind the t-case so i can use a 2wd box instead of trying to find that 1 in a million 4wd unit. This also saves having to modify...

    Wanted: D44 Center, 4:10

    Looking for a TTB D44HD center section w/ 4.10 gears. Reasonably close to the bay area would be preferred. May also be interested in a 4.10 D70 rear/gears if they're in good shape. May be able to swap for a 3.55 D44HD center/10.25 rear, though it will be a while until I get the 3.55 stuff...

    Adding ABS Sensor to D44HD

    What's involved in converting the earlier D44HD w/o ABS to have the front ABS sensor used on the 92+ rigs? Is the sensor mount machined into the knuckle or is it a separate piece? Tone ring looks like it's part of the hub, so that should be simple, just swap hubs. Any differences in bearings...

    Serpentine Belt Trucks in Rancho Cordova Pick-N-Pull

    If anyone is looking for a serpentine belt setup there were 2 idi trucks in the Rancho Cordova (Sacramento area) pick-n-pull that looked to have all the parts as of last Saturday. One also has what looked like a BW4407 t-case on a E4OD trans - never seen one on an idi before. Big heavy looking...

    Solution for worn ring gear

    Been having problems recently with a worn spot on the ring gear and the starter grinding but I've managed to get a workable solution using a second starter solenoid as a relay. The standard starter setup uses the solenoid to pull the starter pinion partially into engagement with the ring gear...

    6.9 Turbo, C6 & DNE/USG Overdrive

    https://monterey.craigslist.org/ptd/4808647976.html $1000. He says it's a "fresh motor"..... hard to tell from the one picture, it does freshly painted. Also doesn't look right for a truck motor somehow. C6 with an overdrive though.

    Electic Fan Clutch

    Finally got around to putting up a post on my latest project - an electric fan clutch. Research has shown that the idi fan clutch uses a 1.25-16LH thread. This is finer than a standard UNF, but is still a UN type thread, (dimensions can be found here for reference) which is the same thread...

    Looking for a shot fan clutch...

    Anyone got one? Junk, shot, blown up, whatever.... looking to cut it up for a project. All I care about is the threads where it screws onto the waterpump nose, and all I need there is the actual threads - trashed hex is fine also. Thanks, ~John

    Doug Nash OD Box

    Very good condition DNE2 OD box. I think this was either rebuilt or new and basically never used. The shift collar and teeth are perfect, and everything internal looked very clean. Best I've seen out of the half dozen or so of these I've had apart. Now, the bad news - this is a 32 spline...

    Frame strength & trailer weight

    Anyone have any specs on what the frames on these trucks are rated for? I seem to recall hearing at one point that the F250 frame is the same as the F350 SRW, can anyone confirm? The reason I ask is because I've been using my old flatbed trailer a fair amount recently and I started wondering...

    Starter Solnoid Shims

    Anyone got a couple floating around they could send me? My 'rebuilt' autozone starter has a nice habit of not engaging about 1/3 of the time and I'm pretty sure it's because the solenoid is not adjusted right - it's closing the contact before the gear is engaged. The ring gear is good and the...

    Rok Auto Belts

    FYI, Rock auto has wholesaler close out belts for under $1 each. Gates too, made in the US, not cheap foreign junk either. I got 5 of each (yah, I know, lots of spares, but at the price it's worth it) and even with shipping it's about half what a replacement set would cost at the parts store.

    Wiring Diagrams

    I now have digitized copies of the Haynes manual wiring diagrams for 80-94 trucks if anyone out there needs them. This is of course solely so you can print them and have a ready reference instead of getting your own personal manual dirty. :sly Also, I have my 85 E-series electrical & vacuum...

    Got to brag a bit...

    Pulled Cajon pass the other day at 18k gross.... help 55 mph the whole way up except for 2 steep spots that slowed me down to about 52. ~19 psi boost & ~950* on the pyro. I'd say about 80-85% throttle. Hit 230* coolant and oil temp briefly at the very top. The old truck impressed me pretty good...

    Max Temp

    Just curious, what do ya'll use as your max do not exceed coolant temp? I get cautious over about 215* but don't worry till 225* or so - once I see about that temp I'll start thinking about downshifting or backing off the throttle. I know the stock overtemp sensor is supposed to be 241*.
