    ALERT : '78 Bronco with '84 6.9 @ 100k Edgecomb, ME : low ask!

    Psssh... block heater. I tested her last week unplugged when it was -28 on the lowest morning. She was fine. :) Don't get me wrong though... I've been where you guys are and it's a whole other ball game. There really is something that happens around -30 and below that you don't feel when it's...

    ALERT : '78 Bronco with '84 6.9 @ 100k Edgecomb, ME : low ask!

    Glad to see this turned into a thermometer measuring contest... Any questions about the truck, I provided a link. Anyone who's interested in talking to this person directly about his mods can do so. I didn't really go into depth about his work with him. I valued it as such, because I see other...

    ALERT : '78 Bronco with '84 6.9 @ 100k Edgecomb, ME : low ask!

    I just chatted with this gentleman on facebook. His name is Michael. The ad caught my eye, because of the body year / engine claim. It said 6.9 diesel. Thats it... I thought it was some dope who didn't know what they had... So I asked him. Motor's out of a 1984 250. I was only curious about if...

    Well, that jump worked my friend! Thanks a bunch. You saved me hours of testing. Now, to build the cluster box for my dash...

    Sudden Electrical/IP issue...

    I'm leaning toward the GPC unit being completely fried... Fuel shutoff- no 12v and no WTS light. Of the two red wires runs under to the GPCs internals, and i wouldn't be surprised if the 1600 amps DC did a number on them... I'll go try that shutoff jumper... Honestly, I'm just going to...

    Sudden Electrical/IP issue...

    Another clue: when I went out just now I reconnected everything, and tried to trace all wires to a short/burnout spot.... Nothing. Also checked plugs near starter solenoid... all good. Buuuut... the WTS light doesn't even come on now when the key goes to run/start pos. I think maybe the...

    Sudden Electrical/IP issue...

    Ok. I have to get to the store to get diesel for my truck AND the furnace, since we ran out while I was at work today and the oil guy cant come til monday. First, the setup: Stock everything (7.3T) except the Carter elec. pump on my frame rail, run off a relay that gets it's close 12v from...

    Post injector swap issue...

    ^^^^ Pretty good use for one of my old G codes that no one wants. Haha.

    Post injector swap issue...

    My motor mounts are probably pretty suspect as well, if the rest of the truck is any indicator. What I wouldn't give for unsalted roads............... :mad:

    Post injector swap issue...

    Seller said pop tested, and BB is clearly stamped on all 8... Plus, not like I can mix em with my old G's that were running like crap. Haha. That reminds me... Who's in the market for a rough looking set of G-codes for core? :D

    Post injector swap issue...

    I did notice a little more anti-seize showing around #5... And that was the dirtiest bore. Lots of crap built up behind the GPC mount...

    Post injector swap issue...

    (i should clarify that the "VERY noticeable difference in power" was a comment about increased power from the BBs despite the one cylinder issue)

    Post injector swap issue...

    Just put a set of reman BB's in my 94 IDI T. I have what seems to be VERY low compression on one of my cylinders. If I start her below 20F, it actually misses for the first 5 seconds or so, then starts to get ignition after some revs. The problem isn't very obvious while driving, and there is...

    Maybe in the Ozarks? I know they get snow there. I've always mixed those two state abbreviations up...

    Radiator mount question...

    ...because I live in Maine, where apparently Morton Salt Co. has a monopoly on all the DOT road maintenance contracts... I assume you don't salt the roads in AZ... :D I was looking for a replacement because I didn't want to deal with the fabricating/welding... But it's actually not the...

    Well........ Thanks for the help gemtlemen, but screw this. No one likes hunting unicorns. It's fabricating time. :)

    Radiator mount question...

    Just found this bad larry in GA....... Looks just like mine.... What do you guys and your trained eyes think? https://wsimgprooh.car-part.com/3320/2014/036584/1AA74069B42E43D8A12098F2490FBFEB004_web.jpg

    Radiator mount question...

    Ok.... So you're saying a mount from a PS will work? Up til 96?

    also, it might affect the situation: i have a Champion rad... i wonder if that makes other mounts possible...

    Radiator mount question...

    this was what i found... i thought it was legit, due to it saying it was 1993/diesel compatible, or is this the Pstroke mount? www.carparts.com/details/Ford/F-250/ReplaceXL/Radiator_Support/1994/XLT/8_Cyl_7-dot-3L/R-7770-1.html

    Radiator mount question...

    Researching today, i found a few different rad mounts. I know that the larger opening mount is diesel, but one site i saw said "not for Diesel with super cooling option"... Did they mean intercooler? I don't think my rad mount is any different than an NA 7.3's, but I do have a turbo and an...

    Leaf spring question(s)...

    It seems like the 3500lb rating is to help out with the TTB setup, since it looks like the Dana 60 came with softer springs... Maybe I should stick with stock capacity. I don't want to damage that front D50. Input still appreciated.
