With the C6 Gear selector in "D", hang an 8 pound weight (like a 1 gallon plastic milk bottle filled with water to make eight pounds and some wire to make a hanger) from the selector lever. Get under the truck and loosen the shift rod adjusting nut, crank the lever on the tranny all the way...
I need some advice guys.
Yeah, it's been a while since I've been around here. I'm living off the grid now, and busy as never before building a new life in the Great White North. Anyways, I've got 50 Kilo miles on my rebuild and my fuel system is in need. A couple years ago I built a 94 IDI...
What he said. They don't care which way they are turning when they pass through the field. There's an old trick to do a quick test of the field windings by using a screwdriver held close to the back of the case of the unit while it's running to see if the alternator is magnetized. It should...
6 Bell Housing Bolts - two on each side and two at the top.
Torque converter bolts to the Flywheel / Flex plate - rotate engine to get to them.
The HF tranny jack is a sloppy POS but it can be made to work. I know first hand...Be careful of it tipping or the tranny trying to roll off onto you...
First let me say "Skru Welded Diffs".
Second... Most clutch type slip differentials I have seen have a two piece carrier in order to assemble the clutch pack. You would typically see a parting line for the two halves.
Yeah, I went from a non gated Early Banks to a factory Ford/ATS with waste gate and upgraded to the 3" Outlet housing and down pipe and back. I tow heavy and I think I liked my Non W/G better on the hills. The Non W/G didn't have as much pep on the empty hauls as the ATS W/G'd one I have now...
In a pinch I have connected a set of jumper cables to hot wire the GP's.
Red to Bat +,
Black to the lug that connects to the GP's themselves ( the zig-zag metal thing on the GPR ),
Then run the jumpers up over the cowl and into the cab by the vent window to where I can manually power the GP's...
I dip them in 90 wt., let them drain off and install them. The red grease is probably Lucas' "Red & Tacky" , some good stuff for sure but not in your hubs.
Thanks for the p/n for the screws. I need to get some spares. I use them to pull my hub slider aftyer I wiggle the snap rings out and I'm...
X2 on the shipping. Assume like $100 per head. Go local if you can. You can possibly pick up heads for that much at a wrecking yard with a "no cracks" warranty and get them Magged at the shop you just went to. Sometimes they cut you a deal after finding your first set DOA. Try to match casting...
Some possible sources for Oil in your Valley Pan are the I/P O-ring seal to the housing, the Turbo Oil supply line at the Turbo, and the gasket between the Turbo center section and the Turbo Oil Drain tube.
The "Hollow Plug" both secures and seals the Valley Pan. The Valley Pan has a copper...
Hmmmm. My experience with ATS and Banks is just the opposite. I have two Banks systems and one Ford/ATS system and have bought various parts for them all on several occasions.
On two out of three occasions Banks didn't seem to be interested in my business because, as they stated both times, I...
Welcome to the forum. Congratulations on the F350 score. I just did a 7.3 and have over $3K in it and did all but the machine work myself. Parts are quite expensive. I would recommend getting the heads done first. Magnaflux and pressure testing is mandatory before doing any machine work. Think...
I used "Liquid Electrical Tape", a Dorman branded product, to build up the junction, tapering it out as a strain relief as I went. About 5 or 6 coats as I recall. Degrease the wires and sensor top first. Let each coat dry for 30 mins. or so between applications. I then used 1/4" split loom over...
You guys need to get out more...
Brimmstone... Here's the book...
Diesel Dining: The Art of Manifold Cooking by Cecil Jorgensen & Kathleen Szalay
Just don't forget you put it in there like I do with my coffee in the microwave. You may just surprise the next customer in line when you fire it off...
The best way to adjust the box is to disconnect the tie rod from the pitman arm. Then tighten up the box adjuster a little bit at a time, like 1/8 of a turn, locking it down each time until you get a very slight resistance at the straight ahead midpoint while turning the steering wheel side to...
Ditto on the 2000 RPM. If I hold it to 2100 I get 20% better mileage than cruising at 2400. Wind resistance has a lot to do with it as well. Ask the ambulance drivers.
From the 1989 TSM... 47 foot pounds with thread locker. I lightly oil the thrust surface under the head as you mentioned, and torque them to 49.
The bolts are torqued to a specific value to stretch the bolt like a screen door spring, This is to provide Clamp Force to in turn produce sufficient...
