97+ Canopy on 89?
Hey all, slightly off topic from diesel but I couldn't think where else to post. Does anyone know how well a 97+ canopy will fit on an OBS bed? I'm finding lots of tasty looking canopies for 97+, not so much for the 1970~-1996 beds. Tia!- robw

Franken 460 No Spark..?
Hey all, This is my neighbors truck. He's been through a rough slog - I'll spare the dissertation, but essentially everything is new, including coil, duraspark 2 and distributor. He wired in a cut and hack harness, and now gets no spark from the coil. I'm almost certain it's wired...- robw

7.3 IDI Turbo Hard Start and White Smoke
I recently purchased an 89 aftermarket turbo truck to replace our 6.9 bullnose; placed in it my good starter from the 6.9 (it would fire immediately), 1000cca batteries, 2/0 cold weld crimp'd cables, R&D 90cc pump and stage 1 injectors. It cranks hard and fast, but requires 20+ seconds to fire...- robw

Early 6.9 IDI Piston Cooler's Broken
Hey all, I pulled my block to reseal the lower half after popping a head gasket, and upon inspection 4 of 8 (!) press-fit piston coolers have snapped off - not fallen, but snapped. I'm guessing they slid around until the piston knocked them apart. ...What should I do now? Searching for a short...- robw
