    Hauling an IDI

    For that price you can find a lot better trailer in my opinion, that would be heavy enough to do what you want.

    Oil cooler rebuild

    I got a doorman oil cooler kit. It came with o rings and gaskets. The gaskets are about 1/16" aluminum. Has anyone used these? I have only used the paper gaskets and am nervous about these.

    Plug instead of glow plug controller

    I have a 460 to 6.9 swap and have always had my glow plugs on a momentary switch. I am redoing the heads and see no reason for the glow plug controller to be there. I plan to replace it with a pipe plug unless there is something I am missing. Thoughts? Thanks, Casey

    Freeze plugs

    I have a freeze plug weeping. I am going to pull the oil cooler and reseal it while i have it off. I planned on using a dish plug to replace it. That being said I have run into a couple guys that I trust and know they do things the right way and swear by the rubber expansion plugs. I have...

    Which inserts for FelPro head gaskets

    I just installed new felpro head gaskets and put the inserts in to corner water jackets. When I went to throw the box away there was another bag of 4 inserts in the bottom under everything else. I am guessing this was an error when it was packed and shouldn't have been there. I can't...

    Leaking head gasket

    I agree with install error, but I am very biased. This truck has run flawlessly. I was never able to exceed 10lbs boost and a couple months ago added the junior moose and moose misters and can easily make 14 lbs. my first guess is fatigued and stretched bolts. when I built it everything...

    Leaking head gasket

    I can give you mileage because I am the one that built it. I finished it and put the first mile on it January 1 2008. I did clean out all the way to bottom and used bolts not studs. This truck is my daily driver but is also used to drag welder around. It is pretty heavy, 7k, and is used to...

    Leaking head gasket

    I noticed a coolant leak and tracked it down. It is at the back corner of the driver side head. It is a very small leak, but a leak just the same. There is only 78,000 miles on this build. There is no mixing of coolant and oil. My first attempt will be to retourqe bolts. I dont expect...

    Core Differences?

    I dont know if this helps at all. I have an 86 that started with the 460. Ran it with 460 radiator and no ac. It ran way to hot and I went with the non ac rad. Works great, hoses are easy to get and it fits the gasser support perfect. AC hoses from condenser had to be bent a little to fit...
