    How did you get into an IDI?

    The exact years I cant say. My unit was one of the first in Europe to get the HUMMV's in the late 80's. My understanding was the ARMY ( other branches may have same complaints) were the 6.2 didn't have what they were looking for in performance. This started the 6.2 N/A to 6.5 NA to 6.5 Turbo...

    How did you get into an IDI?

    My IDI started with GM 6.2 and a generator project running off of SVO /WVO. I won an auction and ended up with 18 of them @ $65 each. All had come out of HUMMV's when they did the 6.5 IDI upgrades. As for Ford, a friend of mine was helping another friend sale his 92 F250HD. When he dropped the...

    CDR valve ?

    valve cover leaks, oil pan leaks . When I replaced mine, which looked like it was the original at 228K I had driver/passenger valve cover leaks and small oil pan gasket leak. I replaced the CDR, driver valve cover stopped leaking and I re torque it. Passenger leaked less, so i replace gasket and...

    Coolant reservoir full

    I would agree with the others on isolate your current issue first and resolve, but I did exactly what you have parts for (radiator,thermostat,hoses, heater hoses). I flushed my system with distilled water several times (I believe I used 16 gallons total of distilled water in the drain/flush...

    Non Tilt Steering Column

    I swapped out my tilt auto steering column on my 92 f250. I watched as many youtube videos on disassembly and cleaning, reassembly I could find. Did a time versus cost , I bought one from this seller on Ebay. The link is for your column I believe. Mine was cleaned lubed and in perfect working...

    Coolant reservoir full

    Well I just replaced my radiator and thermostat in my 7.3idi. I would suggest the following: 1) remove radiator cap 2) start engine let run, if you still have a working fast idle, the temp switch opens at 114F range to give you an idea where your temps are at when the fast idle goes to parked...

    85 Rear Fuel Tank

    If you pull your bed off, swapping in a rear tank not that big of a deal. I just did the 38G upgrade on my 1992 f250. 18g would much easier due to size and dimensions . I also had to pull the receiver assembly/ install the tank/ and then reinstall the receiver. I was going to replace the front...

    Braking Stiff only when Applied Urgently

    Yes it will ... you want to make 1/4 turn adjustments on the push rod. You will also get get real good at removing the master cylinder and putting it back on. When I did mine I first did it by the spec length of the push rod ... not a good idea.. way to much and front brakes got hot ... backed...

    Gunson pulse adapter

    I bought one off ebay and the actual pulse adapter was to small, I bought a tinytac 1/4 peizo adapter and it worked great with the gunson and my timing light. Others have bought their gunson and they had the correct adapter. YMMV .

    Interest in gauge pods for bulls and bricks?

    On my 92 F250 OBS I'm running a glow shift 4 gauge pillar pod 52mm gauges. It fit perfect . Ebay has 3 gauge going at $37 and 4 gauge @ $43. I wouldn't think you would be able to affordably compete in that market if your starting from molds on up. Glow shift also sells a 2 gauge pillar pod...

    For the air intake funnel, some take them off . Some say leave them on due to they actually help cool the air being sucked in. I leave mine on.

    Post up your custom fuel pump/filtration setups....

    I thought I'd be slick and put inline fuel filters prior to the selector valve to keep trash out of the new selector valve. I did a 38G upgrade on the back and used the stock 18g side. Any RPM over 2200 was causing the filter light to come on and would actually act like a vapor lock and stall...

    Braking Stiff only when Applied Urgently

    Reading through the threads, I had a similar issue after redoing complete front/back brakes( calipers hoses drums rotor hoses drums wheel cylinders, master cylinder, and switching to a electric vacuum pump, still had squishy pedal, and had to pump it. What most were pointing at was the RABS, but...

    1992 F250HD dually conversion questions.

    You are correct , very little snow in Georgia. If it snows , we stay in .. usually 2+ inches of ice under that snow.

    1992 F250HD dually conversion questions.

    Thanks. The truck is a 4x2 . The most this truck will go off road is dirt/gravel/chirt road or a hard packed orchard (4x4'ing I have a 73 CJ5 304cid) . The issue is really additional traction for steeper inclines ( Ga Mnt) on dirt/gravel/chirt roads pulling the trailer. I'll look at a locker and...

    1992 F250HD dually conversion questions.

    All, I have a 1992 f250HD , rear axle shows as a c5 ( 10.25 limited slip) 4.10. Was looking at a dually conversion and just need to get some clarification for the rear axle. I'm looking to increase the foot print for traction, not really worried about bed hauling weight. For what I've found...

    Fuel leak fixed. Couple other questions now 1983 6.9

    The fuel seals (Olives) also come in IP installation kits. Just have to look around find a dealer. My IP came with them . As for removal, I guess I got lucky . I just pulled the line nuts back and cut them off with a screw drive chipped them away . They had gone from rubber to hard ABS :)...

    Gunson Diesel Injector Pulse pickup.

    I saw several on ebay with part No# 77089, the ebay sale I purchased didn't show a part No#. I just checked the box it came in and it is showing 77089, but the pick would not completely go around the original or new injector lines. I had about a 1/8" gap when fully tightened. The 1/4" fit perfect..

    Gunson Diesel Injector Pulse pickup.

    All, Thought I pass this along . I have the Gunson Diesel Injector Pulse pickup, purchased new off ebay. It shipped with what looks like a 4mm piezo pickup and it didn't work very well for the IDI fuel line. I ordered a Tiny Tack 1/4" transducer from L&J Diesel Service, Inc. and it worked...

    Fuel heater leak air intrusion?

    Mine leaked there as well. Seeing your in TX , its about useless . I'm in Ga .. I just pulled the plug and epoxy filled it . No more leak. There are better setups like Racar if you actually need a heater .

    Front tank no start?.

    If the front tank is 100% , pickup tube or none will pull fuel. Thats sound like a blocked fuel port on the fuel selector valve. Any little bit of crap, (small plastic pieces from a broken pickup tube/ rust /grime) can get sucked up. I installed inline fuel filters pre-fuel selector valve when...
