    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

    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

    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...

    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...

    need single injector cap.

    I just replaced all my caps, and injectors, but one is leaking. Replaced the O rings but that also didn't fix it. I'm looking for a single T cap. Anyone have one laying around? Thanks

    Spicer 6041 brownie box

    I've got a nice Spicer 6041 brownie that I was planning on using in my International S-1600. I'm thinking now that it wont really offer me the overdrive I want for a truck that size, so i'll be putting a different transmission in. Anyway, I got the Spicer from a guy who cut it out of a Chevy...

    need a few random parts

    I need a old style 6.9 rocker arm and a #4 injector line. Just trying to get this motor running to see if the head gasket is leaking again. If so, I'll be dropping in something new.

    Dropped Uhaul rebuild

    I found one of the rebuilt Uhaul motors and the day before I was going to pick it up it was somehow dropped. :eek: It was dropped on the valve cover, enough to bend the rocker arms. I haven't seen it, but have photos on the way... I'll update this thread when I get them. In the meantime...

    6.9 heads

    I found a set of 6.9 heads locally (locally meaning 4 hours away). The owner claims they were rebuilt. However he has no photos, and they've been sitting for a while. He also doesn't know if the heads were decked. What's the most y'all would pay for something like this

    brand new motorcraft glow plugs and waterpump

    Without enough research bought both new glowpulgs and a waterpump for my International s-1600. They both don't fit. The glowplugs are the spade connector style. I needed the barrel pin. They are unused. Motorcraft ZD-9. $80 International has a different style fan/clutch than...

    lifter inspection?

    while doing a headgasket, i put in a cam grind. Upon startup I had some minimal valve piston contact. The lifters looked fine, and were not pumped up when installed. I have them back out, and when i try to pump them, they don't move at all. Is this normal? No work was done to the...

    fast idle solenoid height problem

    I'm putting a baby moose onto my international 6.9. It all went in great.. only problem is the height of the fast idle solenoid. It sits about a 1/2 inch above the lever. I'm not too worried about it because you can adjust the throttle with a spinny dial in the cab (no idea what this is...

    IP return fitting size?

    I'm finally putting the fuel lines on my truck and am going to replace them with soft lines. I have all the info i need for the inlet fitting (ORB-5).. but i can't seem to find any info for the return. I''d like to simply thread in a hose barb into the check valve. What size is that fitting...

    where to buy lifters?

    Where do you buy your lifters? Rockauto has AC Delco lifters for 35$ each which seems really steep. Fleabay has a set of 16 Enginetech lifters for $151.
