    84 190d diesel auto

    hey, there is a MB near me that is for sale, 850 bucks. The only issue seems to be that it kind of jerks when shifting into 2nd when it is real cold. I haven't driven it, that is just what the owner told me. He said it is great when it is warm out or after it has warmed up. Any thoughts? How is...

    poopy

    Thursday night my IP died on me. I was in the Taco Hell drive thru (it was one of those really narrow ones with no escape route), I had turned off my truck so that we could communicate, when I went to restart, the engine just cranked, it was turning fast enough, not even a hiccup. So after...

    Hi all, I have a set of rockwell axles (2.5 6x6) and all accesories that I was thinking about getting rid of. I was going to put them under my truck but now I am thinking of just putting a D60 under there. Would like to trade them for the things I would need for the swap. Thanks, John

Anyways, the engine is only rated at 165 hp and it doesn't have a two speed rear, so I was wondering if it is possible to turn it up some...

    my truck is acting stupid

    Hey folks, my truck is doing some disconcerting stuff. For the past few days while coasting in gear, my truck has been surging, kinda violent like. It's like when your truck is in first gear and you stab the accelerator for a split second. It idles fine when the clutch is disengaged and runs...

    IP identity

    Hi all, was just wondering if anybody could id this pump for me. I did a search and didn't really come up with anything conclusive. Is this the external fuel screw on turbo pumps that everybody mentions? It is different than what is on the pump on my 6.9. This is off of the 7.3 that was in my...

    Well hello again folks. Been awhile since I have been on here. I ended up spending a couple of months in Mississippi and have been back a month or so, decided that I didn't really want to move there and give up everything that I have here.

    On Wed. on the way home my truck suffered catastrophic engine damage. Thanks to AAA for the 50 mi ride home on a F650 rollback. I am leaving to pick up another engine right now that I am getting for $700, he was asking a $1000 but took pity on me. He knows about sca's and 100% guarantees it. It...

    got power

    Well yesterday I shoehorned a couple of heavy equipment batteries into me ol' ford. It has been starting okay with two smaller batts as long as it is plugged in overnight. Last night I didn't plug it in so I could see how it would do with the big ones. It was 14 degrees this morning and it...

    this is unbelievable

    A little while ago I posted about Puff the Magic IDI. So today the truck smoked like crazy the whole day. I've been watching the oil usage and it has been using, get this, a quart every 50 miles :wtf: . Positive side effects are rapid oil change intervals and an obvious increase in fuel mileage...

    puff the magic IDI

    well my truck has always had a small craving for rotella, a few days ago I noticed a rather impressive cloud of smoke as I was tooling along. Normally smoke is good when wanted, but this smoke was a lovely shade of blue. :puke: It quickly cleared up and so I chose to ignore the problem. Well...
