    F350 front driveline questions.

    Do all F350s with Dana 60 high pinion kinpin front axle have double cardone front drivelines, or can we use single cardon driveline? I'm asking for F350 with stock height (which I think is 3" blocks)? Curious as I'm running into some issues with front yoke of the BW 4407 in my swap. Driveline...

    Value of early 90s idi dually with blown motor

    Been on truck restriction so long I don't know what these are going for. Don't have a lot of details. I'm in the foothills around sacramento ca. As values depend on geography. Don't have many details yet. Just hopping to get ballpark. Free to 500 bucks? Or are they going for more.

    Tech article: "Converting the 6.9 OEM glow plug system to the 7.3 system" link is broken

    Not sure who to tell, and if we can get it back. Guess what I'm trying to do???

    Reasons that rear axle hub would be really tight after torqueing axle nut?

    This is on 86 F350 with full float rear axle. Driver side came out OK. Reverse thread on axle nut, torqued to 55ft/lbs and could still spin hub backed off 5 clicks. I spun hub as i tightened a little at a time, also pulling hub in and out while there was play. Go to the other side. Same...

    Swapping pushrods with a different motor?

    First off, I want to thank you guys for keeping me motivated on my little foot project. It's really easy to let months slip by without doing much, so thanks for that. I read a thread a while back about copper side up on the pushrods, and made me think I didn't check this when I put mine in...

    Particulate filter on IDI?

    I don't really understand how these work, but curious if we can put some type of filter inline on our exhaust that would let these run a little cleaner. These engines don't make a lot of power and engines that make way more power have some type of pollution control. It got me thinking that I...

    Is this mirror fixable?

    It looks like there was originally some flexible, pliable glue that was used to fasten the mirror glass to the housing. It started rattling every time I closed the door and I was afraid it would come off, so I pulled it off. Wondering if I can re-attach, and if so what's the best way. I have...

    Help with search or the answer.

    Hope everyone is having a happy new year. I'm getting back to project little foot. It's time to get the gas tanks in, and the fabric that was under the tanks and straps is now gone or destroyed. I know there must be info here somewhere but I"m having trouble with the search. Tried Gas tank...

    What's the best manual for 86 F350.

    Subject says it all. I got factory manuals with diagnostics and wiring diagrams for my ranger and I love them. I heard helm is good, but they only have light truck spec book for 1984 trucks. I'm hoping to find something that has detailed instructions and wiring diagrams for just about...

    What's a 6.9 or 7.3 N.A. core worth?

    There are a couple dead trucks in our local wrecking yard. With all the P-pump talk I thought it might be worth rescuing them and having a backup to play with. What's a fair price for idi motor (non-turbo) in unknown condition?

    Rear axle seals leak. TSB 94-19-24 (PN: F4TZ-1177-C)) - part dealership only?

    I know we were just talking about this - because I got this TSB info from a link you guys supplied. I remember the tread having pictures of the seals and part numbers - I think from Napa. Anyhow I searched with site search and google and can find it. It sucks cause I know it's there, but...

    Anyone using new Banks, Hypermax, R&D, or home made turbo kits?

    I'm looking for NEW turbo kit. Looks like the ones listed in the title are the available options. I'm not completely closed minded on the NEW aspect, but it seems like if I get a used one, and have any problem (turbo rebuild, or missing parts) then I've almost spent what a new one would cost...

    Project Little Foot

    Original truck is a 1986 F350 (6.9 non-turbo) 4x4 with 4sp manual trans. I asked earlier about project scope and schedule in this thread: "Time and budget estimate for project" It's pretty clear I"m running behind schedule, but based on your feedback, it seems like my goals are doable. I...

    What's a clean E350 non-turbo van worth.

    I've been looking for one of these to do a 4WD upgrade. I've got a good feel for what the trucks are going for in my area, but I don't see many vans. I'm in northern California not far from Sacramento. I see this listing here that looks great. Seems clean. It's an IDI - so it's awsome...

    Adding pyrometer to 6.9

    Where do you add the pyrometer sensor? I read that I should drill and tap the manifold just before the collector (flange where the exhaust manifold dumps into the exhaust system), but my machinist said unless it was bossed, you didn't have enough steel there to secure the threads. Thoughts...

    What do you torque 6.9 idi with ARP head studs (plan to run turbo later).

    Sorry in advance if this have been discussed before (I know I've seen it), but search isn't pulling anything up and I want to torque this down. My manual says 80ft/lbs in 4 steps. (40,70,80,80) ARP says three steps to 80ft/lbs. I'll swear that I've seen that you get the ARP studs so you can...

    Time and budget estimate for project

    I just read though (the first few pages) the Big Red build thread. Great read. I like how the goals were set out early. I also really enjoyed the step by step details about the build and how every system was gone through. I got me thinking of my project and what I'd like to do. 1986 F350...

    New User with 2 1986 F350s

    Hi All, I just joined the forum, although I've been lurking reading about these trucks for some time. I understand now that it's a sickness, and I think I have it. It started with a 1986 Brown F350 4wd automatic that we could use for hauling stuff occasionally. It moved our 3 bedroom house...
