    6.9 IDI Radiator 37x15

    Hope everyone is doing well. I just sprung a leak in my radiator last week and after running shroudless to inspect, it is dead center in front of the fan. Radiator express seems to have an OEM one with the correct size, 37x15 core, but at $950 I am interested to see what my options are. I...

    Tach install

    I'm planning on installing a dakota digital dash in my truck soon so I can finally have a working speedo/odo and get a tach in there. When I was redoing my wiring, there was a brittle, broken tach sensor connector but my truck being the base model, has no tach. The IP cover does have a very tall...

    Rear window latch

    Just a heads up, Dorman 76933 rear window latch replacement sucks. I removed the old pieces of the latch and screws all broke. I removed the window trim and I drilled everything out, cleaned the brackets up and epoxied the metal window plates to the windows since they were loose to begin with...

    Bigger Mud Flaps

    Anyone have big mud flaps on their truck to keep the road salt down? I get to work a smidge early each day to kick off the snow and clean out the salt. Builds on the front side of the steps, the cab corners, and the back corners of the rear bumper. Im surprised it doesnt build in the rockers...

    Power Steering Pump

    Whilst traveling across country my belts were getting loose since they were still new and I tightened them only once and the squeeling stopped. It has done it since (now about 4000 miles on belts) only once more but I noticed each time the power steering pump pulley flexes quite a bit when the...

    Bullnose Driver Side Trim

    Looking for a red trim piece for my 85. The one that goes next to the dimmer switch. Its the only one I'm missing, and as such, is allowing water and gunk to get under the door sill which will only get worse in winter. Mine is non AC so will need the same. This picture shows an AC truck which...

    Just dropped the rear tank and need some advice on cleaning it out. Tank had about 10 gallons of rusty old fuel. Previous owner had the truck 5 years and never used it so its going on 7 now. Shower head was toast so I'll be modifying that. I hooked my fuel pump to the frame and piped it into...

    U-Joint Question

    Just changed my rear drive shaft ujoints and enter supoort bearing the other day. Took a 40 minute round trip same day and then another to drop a couch off today. Up over 55 I'm still getting the same vibration in my feet. This time the second I got back I felt each ujoint. The front 3 on the...

    I don't electrical

    Been digging into my wiring issue and I'm stumped. Ive got a meter and a power probe and am getting nowhere. I drove the truck over to my buddies house and after the visit it wouldn't start. Swapped headlight and ignition switch in his driveway, still nothing. He tried his "international trick"...

    Fusible link gone

    Installed my gauges and decided to tap off the unused roof marker lights wire. I removed some insulation, soldered on two 18ga wires coming from the pod and another on the dash and then grounded all gauges together on a good chassis ground. Initially my first test was good until I got everything...

    Color Blend Test

    Thought I would post my success with LVP Color Blend I got from LMC today. Some of my panels are faded, especially the door panel by the window and dash. I will be using this on the trim. Can rattled instantly, nozzle can flip horizontal or vertical which is always nice, and they thankfully can...

    Coolant Port for Gauge

    I plan on getting some gauges installed while I have the interior gutted and wanted to make sure I got the right size temp sensor for the gauge for coolant. Glowshift has 1/8 - 27. This sound correct? It is the front port if I remember correctly?

    What in the wild world of sports is this?

    What is this filter for? Anyone have a good number. Traced the lines and it has one hard line to the lift pump and one hard line that changes to a soft line on the rail just before the water separator and goes straight to the rear tank. Hadn’t paid much mind to it before as there were leaves...

    Anyone in the Market?

    Just saw these and figured I would toss them up for anyone looking. Maybe @Selahdoor needs another project? https://seattle.craigslist.org/skc/cto/d/black-diamond-1985-f250-69l-diesel/7068964561.html https://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/cto/d/portland-ford-f250-diesel-1985/7074223754.html

    Tachometer Add on

    Is there a way to add a tachometer to my ‘85? It’s got a T-19 and I would really like to see how she is idling and to know when I’m about to be in the red. Additionally, I remember someone on here, maybe @Thewespaul, saying to drive it like you stole it to keep her happy. A little annoying...

    Missing Emblems

    Looking for an answer on which emblems were used on my truck as they are all missing. I have an 80-81 grill on it and plan to replace that once I tear it down. But it being a super cab 4x4 I’m trying to figure out the sides and tailgate. It also is missing the steering wheel one and the radio...

    Pinion on its way out?

    Since I’ve owned Betsy she has had a good vibration/noise from the drivetrain. Since my speedo still doesn’t work (cable may be bound) I can’t tell at which speed she gets bad but can assume I’m around 50-55. If I let off the gas it gets slightly better but not great. I replaced the washers and...
