    E4od dead time for a rebuild need some input

    Last week while on the return trip home from camping the e4od in the wife's 94 turbo decided to commit suicide... Trans overheated and started puking oil out of the dipstick which actually ignited on the exhaust and started a small fire that I quickly got put out. Pulling the trans Sunday if I...

    Added another IDI to the fleet

    Picked up this 94 IDI turbo for the wife tonight. E4od shifts the nicest out of any I've owned or drove. Needs some minor fixes but really solid truck. Ain't a rocket like my 6.0 PSD but has a hell of a lot more get up and go than my two 6.9's

    Picked up a 6.0 loving it so far

    Since my two 6.9 IDI's are in need of engine rebuilds and other work I picked up this 6.0 to replace my f150 5.4 that was totalled off. No more overloading the half ton! 2004 F350 King Ranch CCSB 275,000km on it. Truck has the 4 captain chairs and dual center consoles. Arp headstuds, sinister...

    Gas to diesel conversion questions

    So I made a deal on a 1990 f350 single cab 11ft deck tonight that had a 460 in it. I was originally going to just take the deck and zf5 off if it for my 86 f250 2wd but having over a million miles on it the body and every suspension part is shot. The cab is rough on the F350 but have an extra...

    Turbo kits

    So next month or so I'm going to be adding a turbo to one of my 6.9's. If a guy were to go new what kit would be the best way to go? Looking at new hypermax and banks kits, I drive minimal 100km in a day down highway/gravel, hauling a trailer 2000-16000lbs depending on load regularly and do a...

    Transmission extension housing question

    I'm looking at potentially trading my 2006 F150 for a 97 f250 4x4 5 speed, the transmission extension extension housing is cracked on the f250. To do the repair I'm not worried about that but what causes these to break aside from abuse? Been looking for an OBS PSD for a while and most of them...

    Steering boxes

    I need to replace the steering box in my 2wd f250, are the steering boxes the same in 4x4's? I would like to rob the one off my 4x4 for now bought a couple tractors last week so money is tight. Anyone know if they are the same in the f150's? I have an 86 f150 2wd I'm stripping down for parts and...

    Need some help with ignition tumbler

    So I lost my truck keys a few days ago and pulled the ignition out of my 4x4 for my 2wd daily driver, problem is on the 2wd there's no ignition lock pin on the column like on my 4x4. How do you remove the ignition from a non tilt column I've gotten most of the tumblers out but can't get the...

    Fuel delivery issues.....

    So my million miler went down last Tuesday and because of shitty weather and spring goose hunting I didn't get much time to work on it until today. The truck randomly died on the highway heading to work showing just under 1/4 tank, ok so I thought either the gauge in the cluster I installed that...

    Well there goes another starter......

    Driving to work this morning I ran out of fuel because apparently the new cluster I installed is actually empty at 1/4 tank..... So get the wife to pick me up and grab some diesel, go to prime the truck and just when I start to get some fuel coming out of the filter bleeder valve it dies on me...

    Cruise control

    How much work is it to install cruise control into a bullnose? My 86 4x4 is down and out for now and will most likely end up just a 4x4 rig when done so I have been removing some of the fancier options it has being the XLT lariat and installing them into my 86 2wd XL. Since both trucks are 86's...

    Tach question

    So with a major coolant leak into the oil most likely a head gasket on my 86 4x4 project I stole the instrument cluster and tach sensor out of it for my 86 2wd instead of waiting for the snow to melt to get to the junk yards and grab them. Since the 4x4 has some major wiring issues I was hoping...

    2wd ball joints

    It's time to do a front end job on my million km truck and I'm picking up everything needed this week, new shocks tie rods and ball joints. Never done the I beam style before how bad are they to do and how different from normal ball joints for removal/install?

    6.9 idi into a 69 f100

    I'm picking up a 1969 F100 with a rebuilt straight six and four speed manual pretty in the next few weeks and I've already been thinking of swapping in the 6.9 from my daily driver 86 f250. As far as mounting the engine/trans I won't have an issue getting it to work, but as far as guages go what...

    Filters

    Yeah I know a thread about filters... Just curious on what most people are running for filters on their IDI's? I've switched over to fleetguard filters (cummins) because I get them cheap from work and don't have to drive into the city at all plus there are numerous filter heads I can use when I...

    Coolant leak

    My daily driver 86 F250 is starting to leak a bit of coolant, I know the rad leaks very minimally its just been too damn cold sadly today feels warm compared to how most of the winter has been and its -37 right now to give ya an idea why I have been putting that replacement aside. But today I...

    Extended cab onto Reg cab frame

    Both of my IDI's are pretty rough and the cabs need a lot of work or swapped out. I have a donor 86 F150 reg cab that will end up on my 4x4 frame, and also have a donor 86 f150 extended cab I want to put onto my 2wd frame. How much of a body lift is needed to make th extended cab work? Have been...

    Thermostats

    Yes a thread about thermostats... It's time to replace the one in my 2wd daily driver, enough heat blowing out to keep the window defrosted sorta but having to wear a parka and gloves to drive to work 50km one way to work is getting old. I have heard a lot of mixed things about just hitting NAPA...

    Brake issues

    Since I bought my 86 2wd brakes have been sketchy at best, not a huge problem I go into the city once in a blue moon and 99% of driving is on back roads or highway to get to work. Brakes do work but the pedal is almost rock hard, if you ease into it and don't fully release or pump them they work...

    Pyro's what ones to avoid and best bang for your buck?

    Well its time for an exhaust guage in both of the IDI's. like the title of the topic states I don't want to buy crap been there done that causing the death of a couple racing snowmobile motors which are a lot cheaper to rebuild! I don't need nothing fancy just good reliable reasonably price temp...

    Homemade flatdecks

    My 86 f250 2wd bed is shot and I'm starting to throw around ideas of what style of flat deck I want to put on. I can get one from the F350 I'm getting a dually rear axel from this spring but have been leaning toward building one. Anyone have pictures of custom homemade flatdecks?

    1986 F250 4x4 build "Sarge"

    Well I hauled home my new project on the weekend and started going through it tonight. It was last fired up in the spring or summer some time and had old farm summer fuel in it, little bit of playing around and with it being warm here for winter around -10 it fired right up. Sounds good running...

    How tall of tire can I fit without a lift?

    Picking up my 86 F250 4x4 this weekend, tires are pretty much shot so I need to put some used ones on for now. Lots of used 16" mud tires forsale around here I could easily run stock size but running the truck on the lake fishing with the snow we have stock tires dont have much clearance. I am...
