    How do y’all like to shift your ZF5’s?

    Kinda a funny topic, but I’m just curious. My idi has been my first experience with the zf5 and its been kinda a moody drivetrain system to figure out. I should mention first off that my trans is pretty worn out. Syncros going into 2nd and 3rd are pretty and my reverse has the common pop out...

    “Partial” Glow Plug Controller Bypass

    So, I did a manual bypass of the glow plug controller with a switch in the cab actuating the solenoid rather than the controller.

    3g alternator part #'s for v-belt idi's

    Okay so there are about a million of these 3g swap threads, so I think I've got the details of the install covered. But, what all the threads seem to not address in much detail is what to get if you're someone who is ordering a new/reman 3g alt. I know that for a 3g swap into an idi the alt...

    7.3 IDI injection pump removal and compression testing after the fact.

    Hey guys! So I've got my truck in the shop to fix some oil leaks and to replace my leaking injection pump and I got overly excited and took off the IP and disconnected the hard lines running to and from the fuel filter head without doing my compression tests on the cylinders of this new to me...
