    Project: asmith

    I would like the same as my fabrics is beginning to not stick to the foam anymore. I would really like to have the perforated vinyl style of an XL with the insulation still.

    ZF6 grinding

    Midwest transmissions has decent rebuilts. You might also try a new slave cylinder. From what I understand there is no adjustments to make but it's remove and replace. A friend did that because his wasn't disengaging and shifted hard. Though if you are interested in selling I would like to know...

    My 1994 F-350 4x4 CC TD

    I removed and replaced my injectors with the turbo in place. I would assume the pump is also possible.

    Has anyone gone to 3.73 final drive?

    That is my plan to eventually ditch my 4.10s for 3.73. In Oregon our speed limits are topped out at 70 so I can hit that while spinning 2000 with 285/75r16 tires (theoretically). If I lived in a state that was higher limits I would likely do what @Macrobb said and run 3.55 with more power to...

    Project Big Red

    Bring the family out to see the left coast and I can hook you up with tailgates. It might be a haul, but what better excuse for a two week road trip?

    Project Big Red

    I would toss flowkooler as a last option, only because pump replacement is more intense. We use their pump on a spreader buggy, which spends it's day going slow with a full load in the engine and their pump really does the job of maintaining 190 degrees in a 460. When I need a pump I'm going...

    Discovery S/T Maxx 255/85r16, and Concentric Dually Spacers

    Southwest wheel company is a great resource but I would personally talk to neighborhood tire shops and look for dually take offs. Junkyards are great also, we located a complete set of Mopar 17 inch dually steels that way. Happy hunting

    Discovery S/T Maxx 255/85r16, and Concentric Dually Spacers

    And keep in mind there were no factory 4x4 dually's until 1999. Again from what I gleaned, and this is not written in stone, the 5.15" backspacing typically was designed for a 215 width. The 5.35"(steel) or 5.40"(aluminum) would be on a wheel for a 235 width which would have been sold with...

    If you don't have a suction gun I suggest you get one for this job. I've changed my t-case fluid and it's not at all fun with a long slinky funnel.

    Discovery S/T Maxx 255/85r16, and Concentric Dually Spacers

    When we were dually tire shopping and comparing wheels, it seems that Ford used either 5.15" or 5.35" backspacing on the steel wheels. The aluminum Alcoa's are 5.40".

    Discovery S/T Maxx 255/85r16, and Concentric Dually Spacers

    I have a few friends that run duallys and they've had luck with spacers, but typically a 255 will squeeze togther without it. If you've already attempted to get them to not rub, the other solution is finding a different dish wheel. We have a '91 Dodge running 255/85r16 BFG KM2 without a spacer...

    R&D vs Type4 cam?

    The comparison dyno test is here. This is a bit old, so I have no idea how factual it is still today. I'll let the people who make the cams speak to it, but it is a starting point.

    Does this trailer look funky?

    Either it was built to haul a dozer or excavator. We have a home brew trailer which is a tilt deck over two sets of dually axles running 22.5" wheels. It's huge, ugly and hauls around a 450B deere dozer or 1500 gal water tank nicely. I agree that ugly needs love, but only if it works for you...

    Looking at buying a 92 7.3 IDI how well will it tow?

    If you're after a manual 4 door one ton that works well I would advise against anything with the 5.8 or 6.8 v10 with 3 valves per cylinder. The 5.8 is a bit disappointing in terms of power and I haven't seen the 3 valve Fords hold up long term. But the 5.4 with a manual and the right gears...

    Steering ISSUE fix - Drag link roll causing dead spot

    For what it's worth when I replaced my tie rod, the new one came with a flat rubber bushing to be the spacer where the drag link connects. It's not the same as what was built here, but the principal works similar. The dead spot roll over disappeared, so I would assume the FIX will accomplish...

    Exhaust prep questions

    @laserjock did you have your manifolds surfaced on the gasket mating face before nickel coating? And you tapped the drivers side which, if I remember, is the best location to get a solid temp reading. I'm asking for verification for those who will undoubtedly come after me.

    Zf5

    Typ4 has a decent response in this thread, check out post #9. Keep in mind the gas and diesel zf5 had different gear ratios as explained here. If it were me I would part with the gas zf5 and hunt down a zf5-s47 from a 95-97 Powerstroke, but I also understand you work with what you have. Good...

    Bench seats

    Without going into great detail the bench seats from 67 up to 97 will swap, the rail distance never changed. My understanding is super cab benches swap, but the other seats require extra holes to be drilled. Either way snap up that seat, and check into Stan's Upholstery in Eugene. I had them...

    Bench seats

    Yes. Crew and regular cabs have the same floor plan. I have a regular cab 40/20/40 up front and my old front bench in the back

    Bad idea?

    I would snap it up in a heart beat. Even if it takes another thousand to get it solidly running, that's a decent pickup.

    Leaking return lines

    And also the lines themselves can check and crack over time. I've replaced my hoses twice now along with caps and o-rings. I would take typ4 up on the offer and start over with a whole new setup. The fuel heater o-ring and injection pump line olives should be replaced as well.

    When & How to Service a Turbo

    I fully agree with @79jasper about RiffRaff for a rebuild kit. This article from Diesel Power details a PSD turbo rebuild and compressor upgrade. Yours will be similar, with exception to a not having a wastegate.

    Suspension work

    4" of suspension lift. New springs all around, or spacers in front with blocks in back. Sway bar extensions and likely a drop pitman arm. Shocks also. Might be able to fit with less lift and fender trimming. Then again with 37x12.5 tires you might need more than 4" lift also.

    Project Big Red

    I feel for all of you in the rust belt. There isn't much salt in Oregon and where there is snow typically sees sand and cinders. That is the difference between discipline and abuse Big Red will respect you for. Discipline keeps it safe over the winter, while abuse would be letting it oxidize...

    West coast GTG

    Well I will certainly keep in mind memorial day. If I can make a trip happen I would be thrilled to meet the faces behind the names and see some of what I've read about.
