    Part fell out while changing the oil (bypass valve)

    Changing the oil for the first time and these fell into the oil pan when the filter came off. What does this mean? Can I put them back in and pin them in like they were when it was made or do I have to replace the oil cooler end? Is this easier on the Powerstroke than on the IDI. Do I have...

    Van and truck steering columns?

    How similar or how different are they. I found a column from a van in the pick and pull and it only has 13,000 miles on it. It's sad to see her getting picked to pieces and there is no guarantee that is still there from last week. Anyway, my '86 is very floppy, not tight like the van one...

    Just bought a 95 from out of state

    Kind of a weird feeling. I'm in Maryland and my new toy is in Colorado. A lot of pictures and they did a video walk around. Nice solid rust free truck with 155,000. It has the extended cab and 4x4 which it was I was trying to find. Looked for around three months to find a '94 with the ATS...

    Looking for recommendations for transporting

    I just bought a '94 F250 in Washington state and I'm here on the East coast in Maryland. It has been awhile since I transported a vehicle and I'm looking for recommendations. Anyone on the list transporting cars? That is how I moved the last one. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly...

    2wd to 4x4 on a f350 dually extended cab

    Been looking for another truck for awhile and am having a terrible time finding exactly what I want. Found a 2wd extended cab with dual rear wheels but I really want a 4x4. Did a search and didn't seem to find anyone who has done this. Is it even worth it? Is the cab tunnel different between...

    Factory IDI turbo on an '86 with auto

    Stumbled on a factory (ATS) turbo on Craigslist that has already been removed. Has most of the hard parts except the crossover pipe. I'm having difficulty locating the grommets and square o-rings and other soft parts needed to freshen it up. I'm just trying to be sure I can bring it back to...

    Valve stem seals, three choices

    I have an '86 with a stock 6.9 in it burning way more oil that it should. The heads were replaced with remanufactured ones about 60,000 ago. Mechanically they run well but I'm afraid (hoping) the oil could be slipping down the guides causing the high consumption. I was looking for the stem...

    Stock water seperator repairable?

    Well, the '86's seperator did me in. It won't stop draining. Besides sticking a Bic pen up the hose is there away to rebuild it or is a throw away? I think the last one cost me close to $300.00 and that was back in '99. I have a memory of Rob (69 Oiler) having his rebuilt by they guy...

    Lift pump on '86???

    I was getting a lot of surging and bursts of power for about a week. Then she seemed like she was starved and had no power. I made it home. It was in the single digits so I figured if it was a water issue and I couldn't drain anything until a thaw. It was 50 yesterday and I pulled the "ring...

    Elvis is alive and well in my steering column

    It was a little wobbly several years ago but it seems like it is getting a lot worse. Has anyone rebuilt one of the tilt wheel type and knows what I need before I start the job. I know the column has to come out of the truck. my biggest fear is loosing my teeth on that spring. I spoke with...

    Bucket brigade

    I have a strange request. I have located an old Delco Light generator that was used to make power before rural electrification. They were 32 volts DC and the most popular models were 650 or 800 watts. Well I have found one in Cortland Ohio which is about 15 miles from youngstown. It would be...

    1989 Econoline stripe kit

    Well, I just got off the phone with our friendly neighbor hood Ford dealer only to confirm that the graphic stipe on my van is discontinued. Not surprised but he wouldn't even give me the part numbers so I could look it up on Partsvoice.com. Anyone have anyleads on either a better dealer or a...

    Single? Or want to be?

    I have the K&N stock size replacement filter in the '86. When it comes time to clean it is alway a pain waiting for the thing to dry. I slid it down the agitation on the ole Kenmore washer and set it to spin. Did a great job of flinging the water out and some extra "stuff" that didn't rince...

    C-6 rebuild gone bad (kind of long)

    Three months ago I tore a torque converter bolt off the '86 F-250 and was going ot have to pull the whole thing anyway so I figured I would go for a rebuild. Called all around and the best price I could come up with was $900 to $1400 to R&R depending on what was needed when they got in there...

    heads up display from TS Performance

    I like the idea of the heads up display but there is no application for our vehicles. I was wondering if it needs the computer to interface through or could we just add the sensors that it looks at for monitoring the different perameters. I spoke with the guys at TS and they weren't sure. Any...

    How to tighten the lines on the back of the pump?

    Well it has about 40,000 on this pump and I'm getting some leaking from one, or more of the lines from the back of the pump. I'm leaving little puddles in the parking spots at work. I keep moving to different places around the garage so it doesn't look too bad. I can tighten the upper three...
