    6.9 Grenaded! New 6.9 Build Underway

    Hey y’all! Haven’t been on for quite some time, but I’m making my comeback. A couple years ago some engine internals decided to exit through the oil pan while I was cruising on the freeway. I don’t know how many cylinders were taken out, but she still started right up and ran, still had great...

    Need frame measurements

    Long story short: Saginaw PS pump along with 4” lift (TTB) and 37” tires wreaks HAVOC on the frame! So I’m going to be fixing that today. But since things are so out of whack right now, I need to know what some frame dimensions are SUPPOSED to be so I don’t end up locking it in in it’s...

    In need of a frame width measurement

    So I’ve been fighting with alignment issues on my truck, endlessly chasing the frame gremlins around. There’s nobody to blame but myself though, as my ‘84 F250 4x4 now has a 4” lift, 37” BFG Bajas, and the best high performance bolt on item I’ve ever found in the junkyard: Saginaw power steering...

    6.9 Fuel system parts

    Parts are from my truck that I removed for 7.3 filter head swap and hard line/olive delete. All were being used with no issues. I have: -6.9 filter head with inlet/outlet fittings -IP feed line (for IPs with the 90° fitting on the pump) -IP return line with injector return manifold still...

    Fuel drainback through lift pump?

    So I upgraded my 6.9 to the 7.3 filter head and return system, using 1/4" clear fuel line on injector and IP returns, along with 3/8" clear IP feed line to eliminate all olives, to be able to track air intrusion and system function, and to get rid of the seperate fuel/water seperator. I also cut...

    Quick valve umbrella seal question

    I'm helping my buddy out with assembling his 6.9 for his diesel swap into his '90 F-350. We are on the heads now, and installing the new valve stem seals. The problem we are running into is that half of the umbrella seals are not staying put in the spring retainers once we decompress the spring...

    Junkyard wishlist anyone??

    Posting here rather than marketplace since there's more eyes here, and sometimes people aren't always thinking about what they need til you remind them :sly That said, Mods move if you feel necessary. Anyways... I'm going to hit up my local junk yard tomorrow and will be picking at a 1990...

    Turbo Oil Accumulator

    Does anybody here run an oil accumulator for their turbo? I guess it supposedly helps with turbo bearing life by keeping oil flowing at shutdown/spool down. I'm asking because I finally figured out what the tee off of the turbo feed line going to the blue bottle nestled under my hood was. It's...

    Finally towed a real load

    I've had my truck for about 9 months now, and finally got a chance to tow a good load this past weekend. Only have hauled about 3500 lbs previously. A buddy of mine needed me to do some tube work and welding for his front bumper on his '97 Ranger crawler, but hasn't registered it yet so it had...

    For SoCal IDI owners looking for a turbo

    I found a first gen banks in the Ontario pick a part off Milliken just now. Complete and unmolested. Its the one that reads 'Banks Turbo 6.9'. It's 40% off weekend too. Yes I did post this in the 'good deal/finds' section of the marketplace. Figured it'd more likely be seen here.

    So, i got into an accident today...

    So today while driving around running errands and getting some things for my truck, somebody decided to attempt to make a left hand turn in front of me while I was going through an intersection. I guess a bullnose Ford isn't very visible. Well, they failed, and I couldn't dodge em. Soooo KAPLOW...

    Good Working C-6 Auto Trans 4x4

    Injector bore dirty - Injector won't seal

    So I pop tested my junkyard CAV BB codes and got a good set of 8. Everything was going bitchin: pressures balanced at 1850-1900, nice spray patterns, etc. I started my truck up and have compression leaks going past the injectors on two cylinders. One of them is audible. I've tried cleaning them...

    Injector Line Spacer?

    Went to the junk yard this weekend to help a friend get parts for his IDI conversion ('90 460 to 6.9), and while under the hood of a truck, I noticed this piece on top of the #1 injector. I don't have one on my truck, never seen it on anther truck in the junkyard (im always snagging injectors)...

    White smoke/rough idle FIXED!

    First of all thanks to all the tech gurus and their input on my thread concerning my 6.9 running rough and blowing a ton of white smoke. But the source of the problem was not anything mentioned. I had a theory, sprouted from the fact that my exhaust manifold had oil seeping from cylinder #1...

    Jegs Compression tester?

    Does the Jegs compression tester work fine for our trucks? I know not to get the Harbor Freight one, so I was just wondering if there are any other testers that don't work that I should be aware of. Im about to order one so I want to be sure I wont have too many headaches. Thanks in advance!

    Need some insight on 6.9 problem

    Hi, new to the forum here, and somewhat new to IDI diesels. Had an 86 a few years back but never really wrenched on it and it never had an issue. I recently picked up an 84 ext cab 4x4 M/T for next to nothing. It has an ATS turbo, and that's about the only upgrade. It idles rough, pukes out...
