    Found an 89 250 4x4 5 speed. If I buy it will it have everything I need to swap the zf5 into my 85 6.9 4x4? Not sure about the differences with body styles. Thanks

    Truck is down - need injector line ASAP

    Our truck (7.3) has a cracked injector line. It is on the 1st injector (front of the block on the passenger side). Does anyone have this line and is able to overnight it to us? Please PM me we will of course pay for the line and your troubles. Thanks, Jared

    Burnt grounds

    we may have gotten lucky as we charged the batteries up and reconnected everything. Discovered in this process that one of the large battery wires was shorting out to the body of the truck. Taped that up and everything works. Looks like rather than the small grounds being overloaded it was...

    Burnt grounds

    While driving yesterday I smelled some melting plastic and then the gauges all turned off. We pulled over, popped the hood and a few grounds were burnt. This makes sense as the truck has been having strange electrical problems. Mainly the batteries draining slowly while sitting. The...

    transmission starting to smell.. how doomed am I

    hot burning rubber and metal put new fluid and filter in today. The fluid was pretty bad. Decent amount of metal on the magnet. I'll let you know how it goes.

    transmission starting to smell.. how doomed am I

    auto trans in my 250 is starting to smell when pulling hills. Every once and awhile I think i feel a slip but it's nothing drastic - so it could just be in my head. It also seems to shift fine. Not sure when the last time the fluid has been changed. The fluid looks a tad burnt but nothing...

    White smoke only at idle

    Not sure about mileage but I imagine over 100k which is why I think they're tired. When your truck was blowing smoke was it also making an odd noise? The reason I don't want to put money into this truck is I thought it had a knock. However the noise doesn't drastically get louder with...

    White smoke only at idle

    Our truck a 89 7.3 idi blows white smoke at idle. It does not blow notable smoke at any other point .. WOT, crusing, etc.. But at idle it blows a lot of white smoke (smells like diesel). My first thought is that the IP is tired. The truck is our beater, so we don't want to pour money into...

    More e4od woes

    I just fixed a dim OD light and no tach from replacing some wiring (the yellow wires to the EEC relay) Could be a lot of things.. but if it's a dim light from my experience it was caused by not enough voltage being sent though the EEC relay to the TCU. This could be due to a fusible link...

    OD light on, limp mode, think the wiring is burnt

    I spent the afternoon working on it. Thought it was the fusable link so I replaced it with a circut breaker and it worked for a bit.. then back to the dim orange light and no tach. After a while of fiddling and testing voltage I was back to my original idea - that the wires were burnt out...

    OD light on, limp mode, think the wiring is burnt

    the relay clicking is it switching on.. but the realy itself is not getting voltage. The C terminal is actaully grounded out.. I'm pretty sure that means the wires are burnt somewhere.. I'm just trying to figure out where I'm also wondering if the trans computer isn't getting power if the...

    OD light on, limp mode, think the wiring is burnt

    On our 89 f250 recently the OD light came on and stays on (dim). The tach stopped working and the tranny is in limp mode. I've researched it and know it could be the EEC relay, the tach sensor, or the ECU for the transmission. I suppose it could be the connections on the transmission, but I...

    Heating WMO with an auto trans cooler

    i'd just get a FPHE. You can probably get one and install it for under 120. I can't see why the trans cooler would hurt though.. may want to run something through it in case there's anything in there

    1987 6.9 Rebuild

    honestly i'd just pick up a pair of rebuilt heads. You can find them for a good price. Not trying to steer you one way or another but I just went though my whole motor and spent more than I would have had i simply looked around for some rebuilt stuff.
