    School me on the F-Superduty

    My truck is an F350 crew cab dually from 1991. Underneath all the sheet metal, what is different on the F Superduty. I believe the F-SD had 10 lug wheels. Do they still use the Sterling rear? Brakes different? I've seen some F-SD's for sale locally with rotted cabs. Would it be...

    Is this what I should expect (pulling up grade NA)

    Truck: 1991 crew cab dually 7.3 NA with E4OD Trailer: 5th wheel camper weighs in at about 7,000 loaded Pulling up a 1/2 mile stretch that rises 200 feet - I believe that puts it at a 7% grade. I'm in 2nd gear at 42 ish mph, pedal down around 3k rpm. Engine temps did rise (factory gauge - I...

    Marker lights under tailgate

    1991 F350 Dually Under the tailgate yet above the bumper are three red marker lights. They haven't worked since I've owned the truck. Replaced the lights with some LED markers but there isn't any power to the lights. The rear fender marker lights do not have power either. Without...

    OBS sheet metal. Bricknose truck

    My truck is a bricknose F350 dually. I'm about to scrap an OBS F250 gasser. I'd like to keep anything that MIGHT be useful in the future. 1. Doors. The doors are really nice. I see the wing windows are different and of course the door panels are different, but the metal door itself. Same...

    Wheel simulators

    I was given a set of wheel simulators (hub caps) that are the correct size for my dually. The factory lug nuts have a heavy washer built in to them. The simulators are just one piece for each wheel. Not sure if there is supposed to be more to it. Do I simply remove the lug nuts, place the...

    Do I need to "wait to start"?

    First start of the day, of course I need the glow plugs. But after a drive I occasionally hop in and start the truck without thinking. Does it hurt anything if I start the truck while the glow plugs are still energized?

    SRW bed to DRW

    Has anyone cut a SRW bed to accept the fenders for DRW? I have a very nice SRW bed that has some wheel well lip rust. Seems to me it could be cut out and then install my DRW fenders to end up with a very nice DRW bed. In my mind: Remove fenders from DRW bed. Lay paper over bedside and trace...

    Cruise speed rattle

    1991 F350 2wd 7.3 n/a with E4OD Coming home today I seem to have acquired a rattle. It is most noticeable at 25-30 mph (around 1200 rpm). Pulled in the drive and I hear it at idle too. It sounds like a rattling heat shield or a loose flex plate. Its loud. Of course, I don't see any heat...

    Slight shift flare E4OD

    1991 F350. 7.3 n/a with E4OD. Previous owner stated the transmission was rebuilt. No way to confirm. I have noticed just a slight shift flare mostly at part throttle and I believe 3-4. Maybe 2-3. My first inclination is to pull the tranny and install a tugger kit. But before I do, is...

    Rough start when cold?

    Owned my '91 NA 7.3 idi now for only a couple months. No diesel experience at all. Yesterday after work I went to start the truck. It was about 25 degrees F outside and truck had sat for a couple days. One pump to set idle, wait to start light goes out, I crank it over. I probably cranked...

    Coolant leak! Heater hose to head....

    Just encountered a coolant leak. The heater hose going to the head sprung a leak. Hoses are all factory based on the factory crimps at the head, the tee, etc. (E4OD) So I plan to replace them all... Question... a quick glance with the flash light down at the head looks like a crimped...

    Doesn't drop out of OD with cruise control.

    First tow this weekend since recently buying my 1991 F350 crew cab 7.3 IDI N/A E4OD. Towing about 8,000 lbs. Two lane black tops, 55 mph speed limits. When I set the cruise at 55 and I come to an incline, the engine will lug, transmission never drops out of OD, and then when speed drops to...

    New IDI owner

    After years of towing with my gasser, I am finally making the jump. I have been looking for the right 2015 F350 when something different fell in to my lap. A friend has a 1991 F350 2wd dually. 7.3 IDI non - turbo. It sat for 9 years prior to him purchasing it last year. In the last year we have...
