E40D diesel ratios? gas to diesel conversion
So I hear there are different versions of the E40D for diesel and gas trucks, but all the data I'm finding online makes no mention of that, and only lists one set of gear ratios. Does anyone know if there is really a difference, and if so what the diesel ratios are? The reason I ask, is I'm...- MoonDog

ZF-5 transmission and SMF setup, poss. trade for 6.9/7.3 engine
I picked this stuff up to put in my '88 diesel, and as fate would have it I came across a 4x4 truck that I'm going to build into a tow rig instead. The transmission came out of a '96 powerstroke and is the higher torque model of the ZF-5. I have the shifter, clutch fork, throwout bearing, and...- MoonDog

Would you trust this engine? Overheated it bad...
The way things have been, I havent driven my truck much at all in the past year, and I want to say the last time I drove it off the property was back in august. Just recently I fired it up for a trip into town, and the thermostat ended up sticking on me! About a mile from my place is a very...- MoonDog

Banks Sidewinder DIY rebuild kits?
I recently scored a complete banks sidewinder kit for $300, the only catch being the turbo is rather rusty and seized. I've heard talk of these being user rebuildable, but I'm having a heck of a time finding any mention of actual kits or parts suppliers. Am I just searching with the wrong...- MoonDog

Dana70 DRW rear axle
I have a Dana70 from an '80 Ford dually that I picked up off craigslist for my '88 when it's rear end blew. Before doing the swap, I found an axle from a newer superduty and went with that instead. It has 4.10 gears, and I've opened it up to inspect the diff which looks good, no abnormal wear...- MoonDog

Turbo setup interchangability? 6.9 --> 7.3
Hi all, I spent some time searching but was not able to come up with what I really wanted to know... I have a 7.3, and I've found a great deal on a complete ATS kit with gauges from a 6.9 truck. Just how similar are the two engines as far as the intake and exhaust go? I don't mind doing a...- MoonDog

What to pull at the wrecking yard?
A few days ago I stumbled across a relatively untouched '88 E250 with a 7.3. This seems like a pretty rare find up in these areas, what kind of used parts would you guys snap up if you had the chance? I'm going back to pull the radiator just so I can hide it away on a shelf, but how about...- MoonDog

Electrical / starting issues I'm having trouble diagnosing
Hi all, I hate to ask such a dumb question like "my engine isn't turning over well..." but I'm a little unfamiliar with just how much it takes to get one of these big ol' things going. ('88 7.3 btw) The symptoms began with the engine crankinging over a little slower each time it was started...- MoonDog
