    Best antifreeze?

    I've used it in the past without issue. But recently (5 years ago) went with zerex G05 due to price. So far, no issues

    Will a factory turbo hurt a NA engine?

    I dont remember the suggested amount of boost before studs are required, but I put new head gaskets and studs on as soon as I added the turbo. Even on my truck in my picture I did the same although its just the stock style ats 093. Not sure it was necessary, I just feel better about it.

    Will a factory turbo hurt a NA engine?

    Lol. Im running a gtx 3582 turbo with a 110cc ip with intercooler and see 22lbs of boost fairly often pulling heavy loads. I will admit I have also installed headstuds due to high boost, and to make me feel better about it. Engine was na and has 467,000 miles on it now, that I am aware of of...

    Hvac controle module

    The electrical portion of the switch behind the floor/dash/feet/off etc has crumbled to rust and broken plastic. That and with another known good unit everything worked flawlessly, till I had to put it back in wife's truck were I got it from. Wanting a NEW unit as these trucks are 30+ years old...

    Zf5 yolk nut.

    Currently putting my old truck back together and keep running into missing parts. I must have borrowed a bit of this and that over the past 3 years for my other trucks. Im working on a 1989 f250 2wd and have noticed the yolk nut missing from my zf5. It is the s-42 of it matters much. Any of you...

    Convert ZF5 2WD to 4WD---Is it Possible?

    That would be the one! That's the same one I used to convert mine to 4wd. 1345, 1356, and 4407 transfer cases fit that pattern under that brake drum looking assymbly that i am aware of. May fit more types of t cases, but I am unsure as I have only used those 3 to bolt to mine.

    I'm in springtown texas just west of ft worth. Come by when u get the time. Got em laying around everywhere.

    Truck is down. Fuel problem. Not sure where to start.

    I personally hate either option, but end up dropping tanks rather than lifting bed. Your theory seems quite plausible and I'd personally go for it. And while your at it blow the lines out with an air compressor from the filter housing back to the switch valve. Also from return t back to switch...

    Help a brother out...

    They look like the ones on my truck I pulled off of a 96ish bronco years ago. They fold, but it's a fine line between folding and breaking.

    New IPR now no worse off.

    Not saying this is your issue, but last year I ran into this with my 97 cclb. Changed injectors and valve covers with harnesses and all went away.

    ISO 4x4 E4OD

    Well dang. Lol. It's still sitting here if ya need it. 4 months of sitting hasn't hurt it, so 4 more or so won't hurt it either.

    ISO 4x4 E4OD

    Do you happen to have a 4x4 zf laying around? I have a 4x4 e40d chilling in my connex. Came off my wife's 97 powerstroke. She made me swap to manual for her.

    Arctic Ambulance

    Someone rang? Extremely late to the party I see. I've drilled holes in some 3/8 plate many times with a 308 with some "spicy" rounds. But from a distance. Lol. Don't expect such accuracy in my shot placement to mount something to the frame. Bert is a better shot than I. Bert was a fine...

    1986 F250 4x4 Swap - T-Case Shifter Hole

    If the bullnose t case shifter uses a different hole, then why does my 85 cab have this hole pre made for use with the transfer case shifter? Not arguing, just fail to understand why this accommodation was made by ford if those shifters weren't in use at that time?

    1986 F250 4x4 Swap - T-Case Shifter Hole

    not sure on measurements, but it has its own hole here. I had to pull the screws and the block off plate on my 85 and clean the sealant/goo. Hope this helps

    7.3idi clutch slave throw distance question

    The igmos behind the counter will lead you astray moreso than steer you in the right direction. Dot 3 or 4 ONLY. Atf can damage your seals in the master/slave cylinder. Been there myself doing this as it was the only option I had on the side of the road other than 80/90 weight. Either one of...

    To swap or not to swap?

    I always swap to manual, but that is personal preference. As far as od flashing, your tpms may not be set correctly, or you may have a bad torque converter. May even be something else, to me not at all worth it. But again, that's my personal opinion. Surely other e40d gents with more knowledge...

    IP question

    KansasIDI basically said what I was going to. Once tolerances get too loose, the pump acts up when hot. Cool/cold water poured over the pump will tighten these tolerances temporarily to get to a better spot to break down or simply loose power again and alot of more experienced members here used...

    Holly Red Pressure test Question

    Some would say that the engine will start sucking it's own oil and running away. Which can be possible. That's why I've deleted mine a d run a rdt to an oil catch can and return it back to the intake. Still possible I assume, but less likely. Best coarse of action in my opinion, grab a pie pan...
