    Zd29s vs Zd9s...for the inquiring mind...

    Zd29 And the answer is zd9s,lol. So I bought these motor craft zd29s by mistake from Rock Auto. I thought they were 9s. I figured I'd try them anyway. On my way home today, and it was like deja Vu with the 5.4. I couldn't believe it. So I say all this to warn you against 29s. Rock

    Cheapest wmo setup

    Howdy, I'm looking at selling my ranger and getting another IDI strictly for wmo use. I plan to use it for a daily driver and work truck while my 99 is down. Anyway, I'm wondering what the best bang for the buck is, as for burning wmo. I know some of you guys have pretty elaborate setups, but I...

    1999 power stroke engine swap options.

    In case you're wondering, this is in the IDI section for a reason. Backstory - I bought this e99 7.3psd in April, really liked it and enjoyed the power. However, I have had a few electrical issues. I'm in the process of a cab swap, and I really dislike how over complicated this truck is as far...

    Zf6 synchros

    This is kind of a stupid question, but I've always been curious if you could delete synchronizers to have an unsynchronized transmission? Double clutching doesn't help, shifting without the clutch does, so I would rather float the gears if it's not hurting the synchros. Then again, it would be a...

    Need help ASAP, truck is dead!

    I pulled into work this morning and I noticed the voltage started to drop again, just like it did before I replaced the batteries. Something drained the batteries and it wouldn't restart, started to act like an alternator gone bad. Got a new one at Napa and had the brand new batteries load...

    Picked up my E99 zf6

    Hey there, this is my first post in the powerstroke section, as I've only had IDIs in the past. I made the leap to a powerstroke, and while I'll definitely miss the IDIs, am so glad I made the switch. Only problem worth noting, is it won't shift into L or R unless you do some fancy stuff. It...

    1993 f350 crew cab 4x4 with factory turbo kit.

    1993 ford f350 7.3 IDI zf5 4x4 crew cab. Everything works, I daily drive it. Could use some small things like a headlight knob and trim pieces. Solid truck, as close to rust free as you'll find up here in PA. It was originally a Texas truck. 206k miles. 7x8ft steel flatbed. Comes with tow...

    4.56 gears???

    so,i'm really starting to hate 3.55s for what I do. I am getting ready to do a clutch job and have been tossing around the idea of either a granny gear transmission with over drive from a international, or regearing the differentials. I imagine regearing is best since it's 4x4, so if that's the...

    87' f250 6.9 zf5 4x4

    I hate to see it go, but with all the prices going up these days (don't get me started), it's starting to hurt. Anyhow, She's a 1987 f250 RCLB,6.9 N/A,zf5,4x4. 209k miles. Pretty much bone stock other than a Holley red fuel pump, aftermarket water separator, and manual gps. It has a ton of new...

    Factory running boards poll

    Evening! My 93 has factory fiberglass running boards, that I really like but am worried about the rust. The only rust on the truck is from them, and I will be fixing that soon, but I am trying to figure if I should leave them off or put them back on and keep after the rust. I am on the fence...

    Project Baby Blue

    I would like to keep better track of my truck build, so I figured it's about time I make a thread on it. Here's the history..... I bought baby blue down in D.C for $1700 with 206k on the clock. She's an 87' 6.9 idi t19 4 speed 4x4. I got the zf5 in tonight, as well as the transfer case and...

    Having problems installing zf5

    Good evening, I am having more than my share of difficulty installing a zf5 in my 87 6.9. A little background- My truck was a t19, but I decided last month to swap in the zf5 I have that was in an f super duty behind a 7.3 idi. I installed a luk clutch for the zf5 and used the dual mass fly...

    gooseneck hitch for bricknose

    Mornin' folks! I am looking to add a gooseneck hitch to my 87 while I am swapping to a flatbed. I was wondering what the best option would be. I wasn't sure if there are any bolt on deals, or I have to just get a gooseneck plate and bolt/weld.thanks Rock

    160k 6.9 needs IP. ,6.9 core, zf5 parking brake

    I need to sell some junk to recoup some funds here. 85 6.9 with 160k that I pulled from a truck in Gettysburg. I was told it needs an IP. I believe the mileage to be correct as it appears to be the original injectors and IP. Complete motor 85 6.9 with supposedly only 40k since rebuild on it...

    1988 ford f250 4x4 6.9 c6

    I am selling the 88' f250. It was swapped to a rebuilt 6.9 80k miles ago, and has a c6. Everything works, but the truck was sitting awhile so some things are a little tight. Overall pretty good shape for the area.It needs some work, but nothing that shouldn't be expected. I would do $3k for an...

    bad IP??

    Evening folks! So lately the 88 6.9 has been having a little trouble. It will start immediately then billow white smoke that doesn't go away (burns the eyes and smells like fuel for sure) then dies and I have to bleed the lines a bit and it eventually starts. I haven't gotten around to fixing...

    is an extended cab swap practical?

    My 1988 F superduty has a 10ft frame behind the cab, so I got to wondering about swapping on an extended cab and having enough room left for an 8ft bed. The dump bed is 8ft long, and there is over 30 inches in between cab and bed (dump bed hangs over the back 6 inches). I am just wondering if...

    Stupid question about FSV

    So this whole thing started maybe 4 months ago, and I will try to explain. When I bought my f250, the PO disconnected the tank selector switch in the dash, and bypassed the rear tank, I assume that was because of a faulty pickup and they were just to lazy to fix it. So one day I got to poking...

    head gasket,oil cooler O rings, or cavitation?

    Good evening folks! I am buying an F superduty (450) that has oil in the water, and water in the oil. The seller was told that it's a blown head gasket, and never ran it. I am just wondering what is the most likely cause of this? I am hoping it is just head gaskets or the O rings on the oil...

    fuel tank advice

    Good evening folks! I have been torn between manual fuel tank valves with the dual tanks, or a 38 gallon rear single tank. I am definitely leaning towards the 38 gallon single tank for the simplicity of it, but am having trouble finding the complete kits. I have no problem putting it all...
