    For Sale, 56 Kw Military Genset on trailer, Detroit Diesel 4-53 (Video)

    Video Link This is an excellently running 4-53 Detroit Diesel generator. I'm unsure of the exact military model number and vintage, but I believe it to be from the late 50's. That's based on when the 53 series was introduced, and when the branding switched from GM Diesel to Detroit Diesel...

    Electric vacuum pump

    So my vacuum pump gave up on Friday. First thing I noticed was AC only coming out of the defrost. I finally had a chance to look into it yesterday, and the pump is only pulling a couple inches at idle. Not even enough to work the HVAC controls with nothing else connected. I’ve replaced more...

    Saw this at an auction today.

    So I went to what was promoted as a farm equipment and power sports auction this morning in Columbia, TN. A lot of what they had seemed pretty well used up and generally not that well taken care of. I usually enjoy going to auctions even if I’m not planning on buying anything, but the real...

    A list of questions while I'm into it this far

    So, as you guys may have noticed in a couple other threads, I've pulled the engine and trans from my truck in order to address the leaking head gasket, and a few other issues. I figured I'd go over what I've done so far, talk about what I've found, And ask for some opinions on a few things...

    I think this one may not sell very fast

    I know I’ve said several times that the value on our trucks is moving up, but I think this guys pricing is well ahead of the curve. But, it’s a clean looking truck. I’m not a fan of the wheels though. Craigslist ad

    Cylinder Head Questions

    So as I’ve mentioned a couple of times, I’m going to be doing head gaskets and studs before too long. I typically don’t like to have things torn apart any longer than I need to, and I was thinking about having the heads from my trucks original N/A motor reworked before I tear it down. The engine...

    Exhaust sounds

    The post by Jordan Akers reminded me that I had a video of my truck’s exhaust. So, I figured I’d post the video. For no reason other than I’m guessing I’m not the only one on here who occasionally makes my wife roll her eyes while listening to Diesel engines on the internet. She particularly...

    Clutch pedal bushing fix

    So, my clutch pedal rod has popped off a few times now. I’ve replaced the bushing a couple of times but it happens again in short order. It’s never left me stranded, it seems the push rod rests in the groove on the pin. Anyway, I’ve seen the Heim joint mod, but it seems like more work than is...

    "The Working Girl" build thread

    Well, I guess since I'm closing in on having this truck up to my standards for road worthiness, I should start a build thread for it. I'm not the best at documenting my work with pics, or posting updates online, but I figured i ought to give a recap of what I've done up till now. This is my...

    New project questions

    So I bought this truck('92 F350 7.3) knowing I was going to probably need to buy or build a motor for it. There were two connecting rods through the oil pan. So I got the original engine out and started tearing it down. Its pretty much a total write off. So, I've purchased a complete running...

    Back in the IDI world after a long absence

    So I bought a truck. Its a '92 F350 ext cab dually 5spd 2wd 7.3IDI. It is not my first IDI though. In the late 90's I had a '92 F250 4x4 7.3 E4od truck. I also used to hang out on a forum in those days that I think was called "The Ford Diesel Website" It was hosted by a guy who iirc went by...
