    tank bleed valves

    On my air-brake trucks I notice the tank drain valves under my truck are all leaking a bit. I'm not sure where to buy them at a reasonable price and what exactly they are called?

    My next F700?

    I dropped a heavy short box on the back of a 6.6L New-Holland F700 and at about 14,000Lbs it couldn't get out of it's own way. The AT Allison hurt me of course. Moving the fuel plate and turning up the star wheel meant I wasn't the absolutely-slowest rig on the road but still close. 6-7MPG...

    1991 F800 stud or hub pilot wheels?

    I'm traveling and tripped over some Alcoas for a decent price, but I don't remember if my truck is hub or stud pilot. I thought I'd like to at least try a pair on the steer axle and see if it helps with an out-of round issue I have that makes for an unpleasant vibration at highway speeds. VIN...

    New Holland/Ford 6.6/7.8 parts interchange.

    I'm wondering just how much of the 6.6 really is a direct swap into a 7.8? I hear they are the same motor except for block height and stroke. More specifically, I have a 6.6 with 40K miles and it looks almost like a new motor but it's just too gutless for my needs even with the IP turned up. I...

    1985 E250 6.9 running warm

    I have a recently purchased van I'm working to bring up to par, largely as a way to mount the goodies off my old van. The issue that has me concerned at present is it's running on the hot side, once it reaches operating temperature it settles either near the "A" or "L" in the NORMAL on the...

    International VCO190 re-power options

    Has anyone here spent any time with the old cornbinder VCO190? I found a 1960 near me that is pretty cool, apart from the 478 cubic-inch gas engine. Said motor makes 230HP@3600RPM and I'm told gets 2-3MPG! It's an automatic, a very early Allison. It would be cool to at least keep the shifter...

    Do I modify my F700 (1991,6.6L,AT565,air,tilt) a bunch or roll the dice again?

    So, I'm working on a medium-duty RV project. The final result should weigh under 17000Lbs and very rarely I'd like the option to tow another 20K. I picked up a 1991 F700, with about half of the features I wanted (air brakes, tilt nose,diesel) because it was really clean, and had 41K original...

    7.3 1988 van upgrades?

    I'm about to pick up a surplus 1988 E-350 ambulance (110K) as a toy and I was just wondering what my options are for upgrades. The very thick aluminum cube really weighs on these so a little more acceleration would be handy but I'm mostly interested in improving on the 10MPG. Truck parts are...

    Sudden onset rough off-idle and acceleration.

    I've had my 6.9 E-350 for several years and other than return line kits haven't had to do much at all, I'm sure the fuel system is due for some love but after 25years and 350K the rest of the van is about done. Even though it doesn't owe me anything, another year of service would help me out...
