    New Glow Plug Time...

    Looks like the glow plugs are finally taking a dump in my truck. Anyone have leads on the good ones for a 6.9 diesel? Rockauto usually has the best pricing, but just want to check before saving up and ordering from there. Hoping for just the stock setup for now (new plugs/controller) as the...

    97 F350 Powerstroke

    Yeah yeah, another one of these threads. I'll get started! Someone wants me to look at/get running a 1997 (10/96) F350 XL (Automatic, crank windows, original radio even) etc. It's a single cab, but a dually. This thing takes "cold slumber" to a whole new level. Tires are all shot (all 6)...

    Coolant issues...

    Would be nice to flush/fill the coolant in my truck. Still the green stuff from the previous owner(s). Looking to swap over to cat ELC or something similar. What are the weak points with a ELC again? Believe it was said the o-rings on the coolers (transmission, radiator,etc?) get eaten alive by...

    Fuel Filter Housing

    Anyone have a fuel filter housing for a 6.9? Mine broke the valve you use to bleed air/fuel out of it a while back, so it's got a bolt wedged in it. For obvious reasons though, i'd like that feature back. Junkyards are a wash, if I don't get to the truck asap, it's gone. always. some of you...

    Smogging comedy

    Those of you who also have to do the smogging farce with your truck, what do you get? My truck last year with bad return lines sucking more air then a diver nearly failed at close to 29%. (30% is the fail zone) This year I replaced all of them and ran some cleaners like Howes meaner kleaner...

    Free Kerosene!

    Baby Steps... Baby Steps... Desert rat here in town had "Free Kerosene!" up on craigslist. Went and got it, have about 2.5 gallons worth. "Clean and ready" turned out to be a ton of rust particles in it. So far i've used a kidney stone filter (something my dad got me from work) and then tried...

    Mud Flaps (Don't hit me!)

    So I've decided to put mud flaps on my truck. Saw some neat international logo ones on a site, but out of stock and I suspect too big (24X30 is the reported size) So how do I mount em? Searched, not much. Found a old thread with no replies from 4 years ago. I did see a old mans truck once...

    Instrument Cluster With Desirable Tachometer Disassembled Inside (Important News!)

    Pardon the long thread title! I won a prized diesel instrument cluster everyone wants for the 6.9 off ebay earlier this month (late birthday present if you will). Now, in a strange fashion, it's time for a birthday present for everyone to enjoy with the info I found pertaining to it, (Hope...

    Mel/typ4 pumps/injectors

    Paging both of you! My truck is being called on to pull a trailer in the fall to norco/corona (his purchase "birthplace" a year ago!) via the 15 and two steep passes. For this, i'm being offered a new injection system since it's tired. I need a stock or mild injection pump. Nothing requiring...

    Jumpstarting...

    I lack a glove box manual, so thought I would ask here. Before I answer the bat call in the sky for anyone with a disabled vehicle, is there a proper way to jump start off my truck? Or jump start my truck if the batteries ever ran down? Is it better to only jump start through the (facing...

    Horray! New Rubber

    Got 4 out of 6 new tires for my truck. The steer ones will stay for a while, then I'll upgrade those also. I also found that my spare is really ancient/original, or swapped off of something old. Here's it's specs: On the rim: Budd E 78 Y R86530 Tire: Dunlop radial rover DOT...

    Build Date Location?

    So I have a ford document telling me to look on the front radiator support (lower? not clear) of my passenger side to find a stamped build date. Apparently it's silver ink for coming from Ontario assembly... Where is it exactly? I cleaned oil/road gunk off the entire front passenger side...

    CDR Mystery Solved

    vegas39 swung by to look at my turbo setup for his truck one day, so I asked him about the CDR. on my truck, it's run off the turbo mount the air cleaner sits on via a rubber hose to the oil fill point. It's got a copper? elbow the hose slides onto and that's that the "CDR" is this a good idea...

    Interesting Battery Meters

    Was digging through a box of stuff to sell here, and found this in a old firehouse magazine from 2003. Incidentally, I also have a ton of old sales brochures for spartans, la france fire engines, etc. I'll show a photo of a ceramic based system to cut the diesel idle on a fire truck... Also have...

    Found this interesting ford document...

    Don't know if any of you have seen this before. Was doing a search online to see if someone had a template for the identification sticker on the valve cover. Mine is all white (erased from fuel I bet). Instead, I found this: www.powerstrokediesel.com/docs/DSRM.pdf It actually has...

    Funny shudder

    My truck lately has a funny shudder when it's shut down, or if I step on the accelerator. if I (lightly) step on the accelerator, it almost feels like it wants to die, but it quickly picks back up. Not enough driving down the road for hours would be hazardous, but i'm starting to wonder what...

    i'm ready to scream...

    Much like the bs with motor oil, I'm finding so much censored information on transmission fluid.. It was recommended I put mercon 5 in my tranny. Christ it's expensive... I stopped at 3 quarts. Do I need this premium sludge? Can I just dump the 1 gallon Dex/merc stuff in and call it a wash...

    Transmission Pan Bolts?

    So I traced my transmission leak to a half assed repair the Prior Owner did. Involved a random bolt grabbed off a shelf with a cheap washer tucked on it. Leak path points to that area after I poked at it for a while. So, I'd like to fix this once and for all. Is this a good idea...

    Transmission Leak..

    Oh joy! My transmission is leaking. It appears to possibly be from the pan area, but i've also read online about how the torque converter drains back into the case and causes it to flow out the vent tube? I've had it sitting for about two weeks without starting my truck. However, we have been...

    94 6.5 NA problems...

    I help maintain a 94 Chevrolet/bluebird school bus with a NA 6.5 in it. Lately it's showing very low to no oil pressure. Did do several 100 mile trips without blowing up. What gives? Dash gauge shows low pressure, as does a mechanical gauge. Anyone have any ideas? So weary of the lack of info...

    cdr question

    My truck has a hyper max turbo on it. I can't find a CDR valve anywhere, unless it's hidden on the back of the engine? Is there any risk to having it deleted? It appears to be plumbed into the air cleaner/turbo intake versus to a CDR valve. Maybe this explains the white tinged blow by that...
