    T-19 to ZF5

    Well lets be clear about my intentions here. I have no issues with the t-19 other than I hate driving in the slow lane and still having cars lining up behind me on the interstate and my engine wrapped out with the valves ricocheting off the underside of my hood. Around town I have no issues with...

    T-19 to ZF5

    So I desperately want a 5 speed in my truck since I do enough highway driving to make me crazy. I have a friend with a ZF5 laying around and I want to scrap my 4 speed T-19. Both are 2wd so I dont have to mess with 4wd stuff. I have heard that this is a direct bolt on replacement. Is this...

    I have had all i can take!!! bad smoke please help

    Here is an update and co conclusion to the issues. I played with timing till I was satisfied that it was as close as it was going to get without the timing equipment and I had moved the pump about 2 or 3 mm to the passenger side. After playing with the timing the truck ran great in all ranges...

    I have had all i can take!!! bad smoke please help

    ok so I had a conversation over the phone with industrial injection who built my IP and based on all the information they also believe its out of time but they also said it would be about $200 to time and fine tune it. Im not going to do that. what are good methods to get it "close enough" and...

    I have had all i can take!!! bad smoke please help

    I guess there is one detail that I should mention. Im not even sure the injectors I took out were bad. I only replaced them because of this issue and a few other issues I was working out but this smoke problem existed prior to the injectors being replaced. As it turns out the misfire and lack...

    I have had all i can take!!! bad smoke please help

    Jayro88 I haven't got the slightest idea if high idle advance works. I have also heard about cold advance but im too new to these trucks. Still learning. Please help me.

    I have had all i can take!!! bad smoke please help

    Ok if I have a problem with the injectors I will just chalk that up as a learning experience and eat it but for now all cylinders are firing. As far as timing THE WARDEN recommended a timing method while driving and explained that if I feel a rumble on acceleration its too advance and smoke on...

    I have had all i can take!!! bad smoke please help

    ok so about 2 months ago my I began the necessary tune up of my fuel system by getting my IP rebuild by a reputable injection shop. then I did the injectors a fuel line return kit, fuel filter, lift pump and most recently with the assistance of my trusty mechanic we tracked down an air intrusion...

    A little more power cheap or easy?

    White smoke is coolant. Blue smoke is bad rings and oil and black smoke is unburned fuel. If you constantly have grey smoke you may have an internal engine problem. I would check for a coolant leak in the head gasket and maybe check for compression. I also had a big block 460 and by comparison...

    Okay, I give up. What's the truck to this...

    Please check to see if its reverse threaded. I know your referring to the adapter but my lugs were reverse thread and I found out that there were several axles in the 80's with reverse thread on one side. If its not reverse thread I second the penetrating oil and add the suggestion of a torch. I...

    Yes another intake question

    Agnem, while I initialy said I was tossing out the cowel intake I did more research and found that I likely would not have a water problem so it was back on the table but im just not ready to cut into my truck to get to the cowel intake just yet. So ya this may be a little over thought but...

    Yes another intake question

    Well your argument is not valid. Your comparing apples and oranges. My truck does not have a turbo. A turbo will just suck as much air as it wants till the straw collapses so to speak. N/A engines do not have that luxury. Try breathing through a straw and see how long you can go before you...

    Yes another intake question

    Ok so here is the update. I went with the edelbrock air cleaner. Its like it was meant to be. I assume is was by design but the intake opening is the exact same as a carburetor opening. The edelbrock intake was a direct fit other than 2 small things. First the air cleaner needed spacers to...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Thanks. My wife wont ride in it unless I keep it looking nice.

    Yes another intake question

    Ok so with the water concern and the extra cab noise the cowel intake is out for me. Has anyone ever considered a simple large round edelbrock intake for a carbureted engine on an idi? It seems to be a great option just for massive quantities of air flow but no one has ever mentioned using...

    All of my previous joking a side my truck will easily do 70mph up hill with a load with my 4.10 gears. It wont go much faster than that but it is funny we are talking about 0 to 60 times. Its like drag racing tractors. -Drool I tested my 0 to 60 and Im not sure who was more bored, me or the...

    Which power steering pump

    I dont think there is a difference in pumps and f there is its likely minor and will have no affect on the application. i have been wrong before but the one your asking about is a direct fit to my 1983 f350. im almost certain it will bolt right on. the ones manufactured after 1989 is only a...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    No adapters and no idea why it has reverse threads but the little research I did was my door placard says the truck has a dana 70HD spicer which i guess was manufactured in '80 and in that year they put a revers thread on it. im sure my research is off somewhere so experts chime in but thats...

    2 days ago she worked hard by pulling a mini excavator, then a 4000LB load of gravel, 4000LB load of boulders, then pulling a 10,000LB skid steer all in 2 days. I rewarded her today buy finally putting on the new wheels and tires. took a week to get al the special order stuff for this dualy axle...
