    IDI Serpentine Belt

    Thank you. I believe the one at napa includes plastics, and my local says they are out of stock anyway.

    Wait. You want me to TALK to someone? Like... On the phone? :oops: Get behind me, evil one! LOL

    IDI Serpentine Belt

    I know this thread is old. My apologies to anyone really annoyed by that, but I need an answer. :thanks: Where did you find that gatorback belt for our trucks? I can't find one anywhere. Maybe they just stopped making them for our trucks since this thread was posted? I need the 111 inch belt...

    Best serpentine belt.

    Thank you. Yes, I was already planning on replacing both the tensioner and the idler. Even though I replaced the tensioner about 3 years ago. It's the cheapest open spring one from oreileys, and I have always suspected it, every time the belt has come off since then. I'll look for both with...

    Best serpentine belt.

    Also wondering if I already have the open spring design on the tensioner, can I even replace that with the closed spring design, or the shock kind??? Will either of those even bolt up where an open spring design does?

    Thank you! This guy says the piston type isn't available any more...

    Best serpentine belt.

    Hi. It's been a while. My health has gotten the best of me. I have gotten to the point where I can do very little with my truck, when it comes to fixing things. Still need the truck running though, because it is how I get water from town. Just as a reminder, My truck: late 92 F250 lariat. 7.3...

    Jesus Freak's WMO tow truck

    Weld some glow plugs together. Rig up a second GP system to drive them. Put it on a high amp switch. Maybe some kind of pressure switch that is only on when a cup of coffee is sitting on it. Bob's yer... Uh... Some kind of relative!

    Power steering hose

    Worked for them, I'd guess. I'm not replacing this because of a bad hose, or leak. The pump blew up and shredded two serpentine belts. One before, and one as it blew up. Technically probably three. The first was a really old, cracked belt. Only reason I am replacing the hose is because of...

    Power steering hose

    Thank you all. I've never installed one in any other vehicle, that still swiveled when tight. Just 'feels' like it should be tight. But after taking it back off an examining it, I wondered if it somehow seals inside the hut and still swivels. So. I asked. LOL I think I'll put it back on, and...

    Power steering hose

    Ok, I read through the other posts that were suggested when I filled in the title for this thread. (Good feature to have!!) Didn't get an answer. Question, the high pressure line that goes into the power steering pump... Is that supposed to swivel once you tighten the nut down? Brand new pump...

    Block Serial ID

    You are correct. I didn't mention it. I did notice it but in the end forgot to mention it. :)

    Block Serial ID

    I don't see the grinder marks. I do see horizontal scratches across the upper numbers. Could have been made by someone rubbing with their fingers. But they also look like file marks. Occam's razor says they are finger rub marks. Here's the thing, though. Those numbers were not stamped in by...

    Grab Handles

    It's barely big enough to get my hand through. No way my 'noggin' would even begin to fit. :)

    The problem with new brake shoes and the parking brake.

    The extra information about the actuators is gold! I hadn't thought of that, for some reason. But yeah, if one side of that is wearing, then so is the other. Maybe have a look at the actuator and build it up with a bit of weld as well? And thank you for mentioning where I got the pics and info...

    Yup. Stick with getting the mechanicals and frame as perfect as you can. Body work can always be done later at a more leisurely pace.

    "Tank" my 91 Crew Cab Dually

    I'm sorry about that. In pennance, I am going to try to match your reaction score to your post count. LOL Let's see, that's about a hundred likes I got to hit. Time to get cracking. :p

    "Tank" my 91 Crew Cab Dually

    Drilling holes was around, a long time before modern machinists were. The bit was called a bit. The drill was called a brace. What machinists there were, called them the same. When powered drills were invented, the machine was called a drill. Modern machinists adopted their nomenclature after...

    "Tank" my 91 Crew Cab Dually

    In my world, the drill has always been the drill, and the bit has always been the bit. The confusion has only come in with the younger generations being too lazy to learn the nomenclature. And especially with the internet. Call it the wrong thing, once, and suddenly the entire world calls it...

    Getting harder to start. Slow cranks then faster cranks.

    Yep. Sounds like you need a new starter.

    1989 F-250 7.3 Project

    I haven't done anything special to my truck. But I can tell you that if you put the factory size tires on, the truck looks like it's on roller skates. Best way I can describe the look. Doesn't make the ride any better. In fact it was a bit harsher. I put yokohama geolandar M/T G003 LT255 /85...

    Buying 85 IDI ATS turbo motorhome!

    You can easily move your entire rig that way. You'd be surprised how much force it has. I have moved vehicles around in the yard that way. (Sometimes a rig will be in an awkward place where you can't use another truck to pull it, and you can't find your come-along. LOL) Rig up the chain, stand...
