    I want to pick some brains

    I haven't been on in a while but could use a little advice from those with a bit more smarts than me (I'll never claim to be the brightest light bulb in the pack). My 6.9 in one of my trucks has gotten tired and it's time to do something with it cause it doesn't want to even start now mostly...

    I could use some opinions

    I am getting ready to go away from the stock fuel tank and go with a saddle tank onder the side of my flatbed. Would ya'll plumb the fuel lines from the bottom or from the top? I can see advantages to both and since I am setting the tank up myself I can do either one without any problems. I'm...

    Spindle question

    My 85 f350 dually 2wd. Is the spindle from an f250 SRW the same? Some parts lookups are saying that SRW and DRW are using the same front spindle but that seems strange to me. But I could just be putting more thought into something that I don't need to be and suspension items are not my strong...

    Another coolant question (search revealed nothing)

    I hate beating a dead horse but my search revealed nothing. I just did a full flush a couple weeks back and just finally got my coolant filter on and figured I would test the coolant again since I was under the hood anyway. On my flush I went with green concentrate coolant (4 gallons) and...

    coolant filter

    Looking for recommendations on how y'all are running coolant filters. This will be on my 6.9l NA. Are you just installing it inline before the heater core or are you doing as in the picture I'm including? Kinda as its own loop within the loop. I've seen it both ways on semi trucks but wanted to...

    Opinions please

    I currently have twin dual exhaust stacks with no mufflers and no crossover. I'm redoing everything mainly because I want to do away with all the flex pipe I used and go solid pipe. When I do this I am adding a crossover pipe and 2 tiny resonators. My question is where do you think I'll get the...

    Clutch question

    Actually more of a flywheel question. Does this look beyond using a scotchbright pad on the end of a dygrinder to clean up?

    What kind of temps

    After 3 tries I finally got a working pyrometer (yes I tried 2 cheapos before finally buying a max tow). My question is what kind of EGT should my 6.9 be doing without a load on it? To me it seems awfully low cause I'm idling at around 200 and at 55mph it's not going over 600. I mounted the...

    Sorry to repeat: 4speed to zf5

    I haven't been on in awhile and can't find the thread explaining the 4 speed to zf5 swap. And search didn't show it either. I'm getting a zf5 for my 85 f350 2wd 6.9l. I know the transmission is a direct bolt in but do I need to switch drivelines as well or will my driveline work? Also should I...

    Twin Pyrometers?

    Probably a stupid question but I never really thought about it before so I'll go into what I'm doing first. I'm going to run true dual exhaust on my 85 6.9l non-turbo (no crossover pipe) leading into twin stacks with no mufflers. I'm adding a pyrometer but was trying to figure out if there is a...

    New to diesel pickups

    Figured I would look around. I just got an 85 f350 with the 6.9l. I'm new to diesel pickups but definitely not new to diesel trucks. I'm a 3rd generation truck driver who also started as a mechanic for a Peterbilt dealership before I was old enough to drive big trucks. I don't claim all...
