    Differential carrier install, need help.

    Hey everyone. I’ve been trying to install my carrier with a lock right locker in my Dana 60 for some time now. I can’t find shims to fit in between the bearing races and the machined face of the axle housing. The races I’ve ordered are way too small and I have zero clue where to put them. Are...

    E4od T case for ZF5 swap.

    Hey all, picked up a new T case from a E4od for 75$ to replace the slipping slush box in the truck as of now. Truck’s a 87 f250 ZF5 to 1356. The cases are a bit different at the tail shaft and I do have the driveshaft with slip joint from the 4407 case... believe that’s the type of the new case.

    Cold air intake advice?

    Hey all! I was previously happy with my spectre intake until this happened... anyway, any advice on a DIY intake box and or a new air filter. Going to be resealing my turbo drain today and this put a damper on the day. Pictures are certainly appreciated! Anyway, thanks as always!

    Helps, I have goofed up. Electrical advice

    Okay, so I’ve got the knowledge of electrics on par with a 5 year old. Yesterday I wired the Facet Fuel pump to a toggle switch on the dash and as I was running out of time I wired it to the battery direct and grounded it on the mounting plate. It runs to the engine block so idk. Today I was...

    Intermittent sputtering, surging, but no fuel leaks.

    So as I was about to drive the truck to my local shop to have the 2” RSK welded on my truck started acting up. About two cranks before the engine started (not much at all), and then it fired up with high idle. The idle sounds fine, then gets rough with some sputtering and white smoke, nothing...

    SD spring RSK for Bricknose inquiry

    Hey everyone, as I’m completing a Dana 60 swap I’m conflicted to even perform an RSK. SKY and ORU make a kit, yet on the 85-91.5 trucks the shorter leaf springs are to be used. I lack the skills and tools to fabricate my own, so where can I get one made? I am certainly willing to buy a custom...

    Smoking, and no air intrusion.

    Alright, so I installed a duralift electric lift pump (9-13 +-) psi for my 87 F250 with a stock turbo kit from a 94 truck. Still when I start the truck cold it will smoke white (unburned) until it reaches operating temp (water temp > 140*F). Idles at 700-720 rpm and cold idle advance at 900-950...

    Chasing a fuel tank leak.

    Hey guys, I was at work on Friday only to notice a steady leak had started at my front dual tank. I’m rolling it into the garage to diagnose the problem now; any advice on what the typical reason is to these leaks? Thanks! It also leaks with the key out and turned off. If that helps. Also... I...

    Question on Dana 60s

    Well after spending 2 years running the truck with the ttb and solving my camber issues, I’ve decided to swap it. Yes, I would keep a Dana 50TTB for a stock height truck, yet as most of you told me, lifting it is only a headache. After many trips off-road and my rears and frame flexing more than...

    Radiator advice?

    Not to bring up a dead topic, but my truck’s radiator is starting to leak, the radiator looks worse for wear, and summer is approaching. In SC the summer temps are typically 90+ so I’d like to replace it with an aluminum rad. Champion has a 3 core and 4 core for the application. I don’t tow...

    Just go for a 4" lift kit.

    So after installing my new 2" lifted front springs & 2" drop brackets for my 87 6.9 IDI single cab to level the truck it appears we have a problem. Being that the rear was 3.5+" higher than the front I did not expect to sit now 1.5" higher in the front than in the rear. It also appears that...

    Help on rear blocks?

    So I lifted the 87 6.9 two inches with tuff country springs and drop brackets. The lift actually seems to be around 3.5" raising the front from 5.5-6" to 9-10" from the top of the tire to wheel well. So now it seems I'm about level if not slightly above the rear. So while looking for blocks I...

    Factory Garrett turbo rubber gasket seal

    Hi everyone, I just received my new CHRA setup to rebuild my factory turbo on my 6.9 IDI. The new part came with a rubber gasket/ O ring that seems to fit the compressor indent for fitting. Just seeing if it is needed or if all theses turbos come with it. Also, if I use a braided oil feed line...

    Turbo IDI intake air leak?

    Hey everyone, so I recently put a H1C on my 6.9 IDI which I mated to the previous factory turbo kit. I hooked up a boost gauge and took it for a drive; sounded great but lacked even a 1 psi. So I take the turbo off and leave just the up pipe and ATS intake snail attached. Then I put my hand over...

    Oil drain plumbing

    Hey, so after installing my turbo I noticed oil puking from the CDR drain. I poked holes into it before, but it seems to backflow. Are there 2 layers of the splash guard?

    Turbo problems

    So I've mounted the turbo and oil feed. The holes I punched into the CDR/oil drain aren't doing it; It leaked a ridiculous amount from that spot. Also, once I plumed the oil to the turbo it seems to not want to spin... although it was spinning free when I had it out. So I'm stuck, I already had...

    tuff country vs rough country

    So upon looking at lift kits to add some clearance and replace the negative arched front springs I've found rough country and tuff country. Rough country offers a 4" lift kit with new springs for the front and blocks on the rear. Blocks seem strange being that there are already blocks in the...

    Crossover pipe for used ATS kit

    So my kit lacks a crossover pipe to join the up pipe to the turbo, is it possible to use the existing NA driver side crossover pipe and clamp on a flex pipe to be clamped to a ball joint clamp that goes onto the turbo up pipe?

    6.9 IDI ATS turbo kit glowplug/controller problems

    Hey everybody, this is my first time posting although I've been reading these forums for at least a year! I've started installing a used ATS turbo kit on my 87 6.9 IDI, my problem is where and how do I relocate the glowplug controller and the wiring. It doesn't seem to want to move very far once...
