    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Finally got the bed back on and bolted down. Fuel lines reconnected. I pulled it because front tank was leaking, really didn`t see from where. Tightened all clamps etc... I have a 2/4" threaded fitting screwed into the Roll over grommet, maybe it wasn`t down tight enough? Pulled it and thought...

    Rear main seal replacement

    I was under the impression all IDI`s (6.9/7.3) were all the same. (as far as the Crank) maybe the 94, last year some changes were made because of the factory Turbo. I doubt Ford had 2 different cranks for 250 and 350. I don`t remember reading anything on it. Iam still stumbling along learning...

    Rear main seal replacement

    In the kit it has a metal cup to drive it on? I bought that same one, and thought what is this goofy thing? None of the pictures of an IDI Crank did I see a speedy Sleeve with this Flange. So then bought a different one or type OEM From Ford (but through E-bay) Has 4 pins and a tool to drive it...

    Rear main seal replacement

    Hacked89 did have a good YT Video of installing the Real Main. Guess he took it down. I watched it several times before I installed the Plate. Be sure you clean off the top of the Oil pam and corners, then apply your RTV (Right Stuff) especially in the corners. Tip the Plate at an angle like...

    Rear main seal replacement

    How about something like this? I assume you are talking about the rear of the Engine. https://www.autobodytoolmart.com/product/3m-scotch-brite-roloc-clean-strip-disc-black-07466/grinding-discs Walmart has one I buy, pretty agressive and should clean up the back of the engine. They around 8 -...

    Rear main seal replacement

    Did you read through the link in post#5? I must have done something right even though I was unsure if I was doing things right stumbling along getting the dang rear seal installed. Put a few thousand miles on her and no leaks. I put a link of the Rotunda Ford tool to press the seal into the...

    Trailered home a 1989 F350 dump truck that looks great on the outside, but the 7.3 IDI is something else

    That is great you are going the extra mile and doing the engine right, cutting corners can come back and bite you in the .... Pay now or pay later. If this truck isn`t going to see many miles as you said above, why not just go with one tank, and eliminate the FSV? I went through my fuel system...

    1985 6.9IDI not starting

    That was me pulling the 3 different Controllers at PNP. No I didn`t spray anything on them, wanted to see if they would or wouldn`t come out. And I did wire it up manually, works great. Thought about going with the 7.3 set up. Even bought a new IHC one off E-Bay, and later found a new one at...

Worked on it cleaning out the area it live`s in, Por it etc.... drove back to the Shop and had a new glass installed. Had the Cowel plate...

    Another good reason to stay out of Calif.

    They are destroying Nevada too. Building these high density apt complexes, call them stack n pack`s, and HOA`s, high density housing, 2 story and 4ft apart with the high concrete walls around them, OH and the cheap white plastic fence`s every where. That ain`t Nv, Bob War Fence`s or Hog War is...

    Another good reason to stay out of Calif.

    I guess you are referring to the Nv. border? Our fuel come from Ca. in pipe lines over the mountains, and through the woods..ER Sage Brush, past grand Mothers house to a Tank Farm in Sparks. Eastern Nv. get their fuel from Ut. some large refineries in Ogden as I remember. I believe it is trucked...

    1985 6.9IDI not starting

    Mine is the Black one that came on the truck and didn`t work. It is still screwed in, they can break off unscrewing them, Then you have another problem getting the broken off piece out of the Head. I had read that, and at PNP various times, tried to remove 3 of them, two broke off and one came...

    Another good reason to stay out of Calif.

    Dave, something else you cannot buy in Ca. Wax and Grease remover. Probably 12 yrs ago or more, guy at Santa Cruz Auto parts told me it was being illegal to sell. They sell automotive paint and supply`s. I just ordered 2 gallons of it, pick it up at the O`Rilley`s store in town in the morning...

    1985 6.9IDI not starting

    Forget the original GP Controller as used on 83 - 86, They are know to stick in the on position (as i have read) and burn out the plugs. I have an 86 with the manual set up. Momentary Toggle. Run a wire from it to the Purple wire on the GP Relay. (remove purple wire) Run a second wire to a +...

    87 - 91 Master Cylinder mounted onto a 86 and older F-250 Diesel

    I have been driving this thing for a good 6 months now, and the Brakes have never worked so well. I read hydro boost is better, but haven`t come across one yet. I replaced the proportional valve and think it can be a problem as the rubber "O"Rings and other rubber parts after 38 years...

    F- 150/250/350 80 - 86 Hood release Handle

    Update: Probably a good 3 years ago, the plastic handle for the Hood Release broke off. So I have been using a pair of Channel Lock Plyers to grab ahold of the end piece to pop the Hood. Finally getting tired of doing it. About a month ago I bought a new Hood Cable from Bronco Grave Yard, Dove...
