    IDI Engine Removal

    Pop the hood off, pull the radiator, pop the fan off. Take off starter, bellhousing bolts. Undo the motor mounts in the middle. Pull forward, shake like hell to release then lift to the sky! Shes tall, heavy, awkward and awesome

    Question about injection pump timing 87 Ford f350 6.9 C6 trans 3.55 gears.

    Yeah send an email to Justin at idiperformance.com Gotta keep bugging him too, he is a busy guy but will definitely help out. You'll get a better pump for what most people charge to rebuild it stock, he'll do injectors too. Either an overdrive unit or a ZF5 is your best bet. One other...

    Diesel RPM limitation

    Send him over to steel soldiers, they have a fair number of unimog folks there. And his engine sure isn't a IH diesel, those Mercedez diesel's are tricky. I think the only way to get more speed on a mog is the "high speed" axles, they are a pretty penny if you can find a set though. Unimogs...

    Question about injection pump timing 87 Ford f350 6.9 C6 trans 3.55 gears.

    The timing marks on the pump and cover are pretty much "suggestions" They get you in the ballpark and let you figure out the rest. If your pump has 180k on it, that might be doing it too, their rated life is mostly just 100k. Mine made it 165k but then I blew the pump and 4 injectors all in...

    Question about injection pump timing 87 Ford f350 6.9 C6 trans 3.55 gears.

    Make sure to time it with the engine OFF Clock it using a punch to see where its at now, then try retarding it further or advancing it a bit. Pretty much test it a bunch of different ways. Change it, run it, drive it and leave it where you like it

    Headlight relay kit

    The relays I linked off amazon are great, with nice beefy wire in the plugs, getting your own headlight connector, some wire and heat shrink and you'd be set

    Possible oil cooler replacement?

    There is a good amount of work involved on modifying anything on most motors, but posting your mod helped a lot with pictures! I was always curious how efficient our oem coolers were. I don't have my oil pressure sender on yet, or temp sensor but I plan on getting a good baseline for my...

    Possible oil cooler replacement?

    That would probably work perfectly. Would that type aux oil cooler perform as well or better as our current coolers? Definitely be easier to work on heh

    Possible oil cooler replacement?

    I should rephrase that, computer controlled plasma cutter. I'm the one who put it together and ran it at my high school so they let me use it whenever I need something

    Possible oil cooler replacement?

    I got curious about reading of oil cooler problems and that it is quite a pain to get to and re-seal. I figure there's got to be an alternative that could possibly work better. I guess the first question is what is the cooling capacity of our current coolers, as in surface area inside a...

    What to do when the engine is out and apart?

    I just went out and snapped these photos from the underside and from the wheel well, these all try and show the back of the passenger head. The red/orange stuff is my coolant, I know for darn sure it shouldn't be coming out back there!!

    What to do when the engine is out and apart?

    So as the the title says, I believe my 6.9 will be coming out soon. I am getting the ever loved oil ooze from the rear corner of the passenger head. I am picking up NIB studs tomorrow from craigslist, then I will hold of on gaskets and such till the time comes. Now on to my questions. I have...

    Newbie diesel owner need help/advice/do's & dont's!

    pensacola is a recommended one or the user typ4 I believe. Check around pick n pull, the one in rancho has a few medium duty commercial vehicles, you may be able to find a tow bed there. Or check craigslist in the SF bay area, a lot of scrap stuff around there that I notice. Are you leaking...

    Hey there, I'm in Elverta, not far East of you. If you get her running or if I am ever out that direction, maybe I can check your rig out, I may be able to point out a few things when I see 'em. This is my first diesel and I am gaining a lightspeed crash course in everything diesel and boy...

    Injector fun times

    This is how to turn a one hour project into a three day escapade. Step 1. Head up the nearest mountain range and lose your clutch fluid (next project) When you are heading up the next incline, realize you aren't really able to shift, but floating it into fourth and limping to a rest stop...

    Electrical gremlins strike again!

    Welp my stuff is on the fritz again! A few weeks ago I rebuilt my turbo and re-installed it, when I tried to start the truck, she didn't start! So I began looking into what the heck it could be. First we put a jumper in the clutch position sensor, and that didn't do it, then we discovered it...

    mystery fuse and electrical gremlins 86

    I got the horn working, now to diagnose the cruise control I discovered some creative wiring by the PO so I had to make a bit more of it myself. I also just picked up the pieces to do the headlight relay mod, I might also do the halogen conversion on top of that. After I do my rear brakes...
