    WTB winch bumper

    I was able to locate and purchase one of the warn classic winch bumpers for a bricknose. However my plans with the truck have changed a bit and I will be selling it. It's in good condition (not rotted out) and I paid a pretty penny for it. If anyone might be interested in it let me know. It is...

    As the project rolls along. Very, very slowly. Drive train build.

    I have replaced those bolts before. They are NLA from Ford, but you can get them on mcmastercarr. I used bolts with an allen socket head and they fit perfectly. https://www.mcmaster.com/91251A755/

    Crewcab 4X4 conversion.

    Yeah, I like the fact that its selectable. I figure a front selectable locker and the LSD rear will get me pretty much out of anything. Otherwise I have a winch...

    1990 F-350 4x4 Ambulance Revival/Long Term Build - "Betty"

    The head gaskets were solid. Saw nothing to indicate any head gasket leaking especially because every cylinder looks like that. The previous owner said it had started to loose compression overtime. However the cowl seal was roasted and there was rust on top of the air filter cover and a little...

    Crewcab 4X4 conversion.

    Speaking of OX Lockers... That's what I will be installing in the front of my F350 eventually. They are a small US Company based out of Florida. They also back up their products. Plus they also come with a sweet HD diff cover :fight: They can also be actuated pneumatically, electrically, or...

    1990 F-350 4x4 Ambulance Revival/Long Term Build - "Betty"

    So I eventually got around to pulling the heads on the old engine and this is what all of the cylinders looked like... I then dropped the heads off at the machine shop to get rebuilt. Just got them back yesterday. I haven’t gotten a chance to check the valve recession on them yet to make sure...

    Driveshaft

    Do you have a F-350 or F250 ? Transfer cases will be the same model, but the transfer case on the 350 has a yoke the front driveshaft will have a cardan joint. I have a F-250 front driveshaft here in florida. When I ZF5 swapped my F350 I bought a new front driveshaft instead of shortening the...

    head gasket,oil cooler O rings, or cavitation?

    When we resealed the oil cooler on mine, we did a dry fit and bolted it to the block prior to installing any gaskets to make sure that the oil cooler ends would be flush and aligned with the block. Per the recommendations I read on here. Afterward, I used aviation permatex #2 on the gaskets and...

    Egt gauge

    Some not all airplanes have gauges for multiple things. You’re probably thinking of flight instruments. Almost all airplanes are all about redundancy. When your truck has a major mechanical problem you can typically just pull over... an airplane doesn’t have that luxury... You also check all of...

    6.9 intake valve question

    Ill be following this thread as I am gathering some parts to do the heads on my truck. Any parts you would recommend getting for the heads? I've heard using Comp Cams 910-16 valve springs? Currently I've got all new lifters and pushrods. All the gaskets I need. ARP studs are on the way.

    Re-Torquing Head Bolts

    I have heard you cant remove the bolts with the heads/air box in place, but you can zip tie the bolt in the up position when its completely unthreaded and remove it with the head.. Is this correct?

    What Gear Oil Do You Run in Your Diffs...

    I just recently ordered some new diff covers for my truck and plan on changing the gear oil in the diffs as I have no idea when the gear oil was last changed since I bought the truck not running. So that leads to me to my questions. I am a big proponent of using Amsoil in just about...

    Help Identify this Rear Axle

    Well thanks for all of the help fellas :Thumbs Up. I actually pulled the trigger on both front and rear diff covers for my truck. But you're just gonna have to wait and see what I got! I will say, I was looking at the rear BD diff cover pretty heavily. Chose to go with some diff covers that make...

    Trans fluid question

    You would need some sort of valve and temperature switches/electric switches, or you could probably get away with appropriately rated ball valves. I believe if you look at the Antarctic Ambulance thread, they just used a standalone cooler and bypassed the rad completely. Wes used a temp switch...

    Starter clicking 10-15 times then powers down whole truck for 30 seconds

    The return nipple on my FSV got broken off when swapping the engine. I bought a new aftermarket one on Amazon for $50 and had it next day. They are $400 new from ford :bs. Plugged right in now problems. As for longevity, time will tell... Or as Laine said, you can always bypass it at the fsv and...

    Help Identify this Rear Axle

    That is what I thought. However when you look at many of the aftermarket 10.25 diff covers, they say for SRW applications only. Thus my curiosity.

    Help Identify this Rear Axle

    Yeah I watched that series a couple of weeks ago. Interesting for sure. But not interesting enough for me to fork out $400 :rolleyes: , especially on a truck that isn't a daily driver! The other thing is that it has a lifetime warranty even if you break off the cooling ears. I have other things...

    Help Identify this Rear Axle

    So I want to change the diff fluid the rear diff of my truck, I was thinking of changing the diff cover with an aftermarket cover as well. My truck is 1990 F350 4x4 Chassis cab dually and the axle code is a W5 which I believe comes back to a 4.10 10.25 LS. I haven’t counted the bolts on the diff...

    1990 F-350 4x4 Ambulance Revival/Long Term Build - "Betty"

    Thanks, I bought the $50 chinese knockoff one. There is no way I was going to pay $400 from ford. The one that came on the truck worked fine, but the return line fitting was busted off of the fsv when gently removing the engine... Someone forgot to remove the return line from the back of the...
