    Zf5 Grinding

    Yes I am using a solid flywheel and have never heard this growling noise before I did this swap. I did install a pilot bearing. Driving yesterday I was having trouble replicating this noise and wasn’t able to make it happen. I’m just going to keep driving on it and I’ll come back if I learn...

    Zf5 Grinding

    I don’t recall there being much of any play but I’m not certain so that could be possible. I was able to find clearance specs but having trouble finding a play specs the service manual.

    Zf5 Grinding

    1986 F250 6.9idi A couple weeks ago I finished swapping my 2wd C6 for a 4x4 zf5 with the Borg Warner 1356. Donor truck had a south bend solid flywheel in it so I had the flywheel resurfaced and bought new south bend clutch, pressure plate, and throw out bearing. I replaced the syncros and...

    Camber Adjustment

    Here’s the kit I used. https://www.rockymountainsusp.com/lift-kits/suspension/ford/2wd/f250-f350/1980-96/186f2k-sk.html?c=308&i=0 The kit provided little 3/16s spacers that I put underneath the coils, you can see the little gold spacer in the pictures. Could those be removed to help correct...

    Camber Adjustment

    The truck is lifted. I never said that before because I didn’t want people to focus on shit talkin lifting a 2wd. Probably also why my alignment will never be right. I would like to do a 4x4 swap one day but I need to do a lot more research on that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Camber Adjustment

    Yeah that's what I've settled with. Its gonna be what its gonna be until I do an axle swap. Not too sure what you wanted to see with the radius arms but here's some pics.

    Camber Adjustment

    The truck drives fine only time I notice any pulling is taking turn on the interstate but that might be cause I removed the sway bars. I’ll take a picture where the radius arms connect to the axle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Camber Adjustment

    Finally got the truck back and I got pictures of the front axle and alignment sheet. Had trouble getting the images in the post all of the pictures shown are what I have. Are those specs acceptable or do I need to go to another shop to have it redone? Again I have new shocks...

    Camber Adjustment

    Thanks for all of the responses. I have new shocks, coils, axle pivot bushings, and radius arm bushings installed, why I'm getting the truck aligned lol. The truck is still at that shop since they're closed for the new year but next week I will be moving it to a front end specialist. I'll let...

    Oil Pressure Gauge and ticking

    Oil Pressure Gauge and ticking

    I’m using a brand new fuel filter. When I bleed the Schrader valve just a little bit of fuel comes out but seems to mainly be air. I’m a high schooler with no background so I couldn’t tell you how to go about cracking injector lines but I’ll look around more.

    Oil Pressure Gauge and ticking

    So I changed the oil last night and it was several quarts low. I think you need oil before you can get oil pressure lol. The oil pressure gauge is happy now. I filled my fuel filter with atf last night, ran it for about 45 seconds and let t sit over night. Came out this morning drove it a few...

    Oil Pressure Gauge and ticking

    It is the factory dummy gauge. I’ll get an after market gauge for sure then. Would something like THIS work? I believe these trucks have 1/8th NPT threads. I think I’m the third or fourth owner of the truck but the previous owner used it occasionally to move his boat around so it would sit...
