    An A/C question

    Going to be replacing the complete A/C on the 91 . Not the hoses but just about everything else. Do I need to replace the condenser or can I leave it. I read that earlier trucks had larger tubing in the condenser so clogging up was never an issue. What do y'all say? I'd have to pull a ton more...

    new gauge,no boost

    Hey all, I installed a boost gauge and I'm not getting any reading. There are no exhaust leaks, and the snail is tight. It's a glowshift gauge with the hard plastic line .I have it plumbed into the snail, and used teflon tape. Still not getting any reading. Turbo spools up nice, and like I said...

    Transmission dipstick and tube

    Hey everyone. I'm having a real hardtime finding a dipstick and tube for my 91w/093 turbo and e4od. I called ats and they said that a 99-03 7.3 powerstroke w/4r100 tranw tube should work. Found one on ebay and the guy says he shipped it. Well it never arrived and I can't find another. Does...

    Can anyone confirm if a banks dipstick tube will work with my 093 turbo setup? Can't seem to find one anywhere. I know hypermax has something but I don't know if it's specific to hypermax. TIA

    Starting an 093 turbo install on my 91 F350

    So I picked up a used 093 turbo, downpipe, and other related parts. Not using a stock air filter- didn't come with one. I'm getting ready to dive into it and I need to know info going in so I don't have to take things apart twice. I appreciate any info. Tips or tricks( if any), so I don't spend...

    Airbags or Timbrins,and a few other questions

    Didn't know where to post this, so I figured I'd start here. So I might have to make a road trip back to that hole NJ, and I'm qualified to speak of it being that I lived there for 60 years. A guy has a skid steer for sale and it's cherry, and I think it's cheaper for me to get it than hiring a...

    Turbo kit mfg's

    Well I thought I never really needed one, but after my first heavy run with the dump trailer I've come to conclusion that my truck is a complete slug. Maybe about 6 ton total it drives and stops great, but when you need to get up to speed in traffic it's embarrassing. I've stupidly never paid...

    Steering box adjustment

    I just wanted to know if I can take the slop out of my steering box with the adjustment screw. This is for the 2wd 91. I re sealed the whole thing a year and a half ago before I sold it, and it's as clean as the day I put it back in. But the kid who bought it put 265's on the front and now it's...

    My old truck is coming back home

    Back in '19 or '20, I can't remember, I sold my '91 F350 7.3 2wd Dually because I picked up the '87 6.9. I sold it to my son's friend, and now he's looking to get a Cummins or something 4x4. He hardly drove it, but did some upgrades. Here's a pic before I sold it. He's telling me the TC is...

    TQ lock unlock clunk

    I have an opportunity to buy back my old 91 F350 dually from my son's friend. He's had it a year and a half, and is looking for a Cummins or PS. I haven't seen it yet but what he's telling me is there is a clunking in the trans. At highway speed going from coast to throttle it clunks. So I guess...

    tires for sand

    Hey all. i know this has been gone over a thousand times, but there are a hundred threads. So. I moved to where once you get off the road you're in sand. I have highway tires on the truck and these aren't worth a damn in sand. I'm thinking a 33 inch tire. I don't have a lift kit installed so...

I'll have about 1000lbs of tools and whatnot in the bed and cap, and I'll be pulling the Harley with a few assorted jacks, spare trailer...

    What's up with the censoring

    Since when did they censor the "bad words" in posts? Something new? Or can I change that in settings somewhere. Off topic, but that **** is truly annoying.

    C6 torque converters

    Ok, I'm sure this topic has been beaten to death, but what brand low stall converter does everyone prefer? Been looking at old posts, but some of ther companies either don't exist or don't make them anymore. And something that isn't going to break the bank if possible. Thanks

    Tech time mag probe

    Hey folks. I can't get the probe to fit in the tube over the damper. A 5/16 drill bit doesn't help any. Anything else I can use that I'm not thinking about? And also should I set the unit to 9.5 before timing- I seen some posts that folks left the unit at 20 degrees to time, but you don't want...

    Rabs light

    This is one thing I don't know much about. The light came on today coming home from work. I just brought the truck to my buddy with a shop to bleed my brakes for me cause I can't do it myself. Now the light came on. This is on the 87. Just the yellow light, not the red one. Any thoughts on what...

    Straps for 38 gallon tank

    I was thinking of swapping out my rear 19 gal tank to a 38. But I can't find straps for it. You folks that did the swap- where did you get those straps? For the 87 F250.

    Trans cooler?

    So I'm going to be moving from NJ to S Carolina in a couple of months, and I'll be driving the 87 down. I will be pulling a small trailer with my bike, tools and whatnot. The total load weight will probably be around 4000lbs. I'm running 3.54 gears with a C-6. I just did the top end 6 months...

    Radiator support for diesel

    New radiator support from LMC. Part of a large order that was damaged. They replaced the whole order, now I have an extra. Was a little dinged on one corner, but I straightened it out. Fits 87 to 91 F250 diesel w/ no air. I don't know if it would work on anything else. I'm in Jersey, so if...

    Radiator support replacement

    Hey all, finally have my motor back together and the bugs worked ouy(hopefully), I can focus my attention to some body issues. Both sides of the support is just about on the frame, so it's time to replace. Any tips to get the old one out and new one in? Seems all the weight in the front is...

    Valley pan

    Hey, I was just cleaning up parts while waiting for the call for my heads. I noticed on the corner of the valley pan there is a small tear. It doesn't go into the intake, and for the most part will be covered with rtv. This must have been there, being it came out super easy. The tear goes...

    Quick question...

    I'm in the garage pulling the heads on the 6.9. Can I take them out with the exhaust manifolds on? Seems it would be faster. I have a shop crane so weight is no issue. Just wondering about clearance. Thanks

    Leak down test

    So I finally got a hold of some fittings that I could use to make up a leak down tester from a HF compression tester. Back a few weeks ago when I did the compression test all the cylinders were between 475 to 500 psi, except for cyl #2 which was 420. I did a leak down test today on #2 and while...
