    Need advise on front spring leveling and front frame ID

    My truck rides like a rock in the front, almost no travel at all. If you look at the pics the builder used a torch cut spring to level the truck in the front. I am looking for a leveling kit to replace that bottom cut spring, the kind you would use if you added a giant snow plow or something...

    Bumping the Governor

    My truck seems to hit 3200 really fast in second and third and feels like it want to keep pulling. Is it common to modify it to come on a little later? Is it dangerous for the engine?

    tach sensor alternative?

    Anybody ever tried one of these instead? Not sure if it would fit a serp belt setup with the vacuum pump up top but should work for the older trucks, I think the threads are right. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sww-82646?seid=srese1&gclid=CJGE7KqGyLsCFax_QgodAzUAZw

    Easy Headlight Upgrade Kit?

    I was looking for relays and came across this, might work as an almost out of the box relay kit. http://www.amazon.com/Amico-Xenon-Conversion-Wiring-Harness/dp/B00BQH8QQ6/ref=sr_1_19?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1383062071&sr=1-19&keywords=relay+harness

    4R100 to IDI

    I searched but couldn't find specific info. I found a deal on a 2001 4R100, I will be using a baumann TCM setup so the electronics dont matter. The only physical thing I see is the torque converter has 6 bolts but it looks like it interchanges with a 4 bolt E4OD one, can anyone confirm this...

    E4OD conversion research

    Before the E40d haters come after me, I have a 4 door bronco, not a pickup. I dont really haul or tow with it. I thought I would be happy with the ZF5 but I drive mostly around town and am constantly wishing for an auto between stoplights. If I find a gear vendors for around 1K before the right...

    Anybody know if you can take a 460 E4od and drill the other holes and bolt it to a IDI like the ZF mod? I think I want to convert my truck to auto and finding a decent gear vendors and C6 seems harder.

    3" Turbo Outlet Mod

    I got this off a member a while back. I cut the 2.5 in outlet off, ordered a mild steel vband set off ebay, created a gap between the vband and outlet using welding wire and then welded it inside and out. It is solid as ever. Only thing is when I went to swap it out this last weekend the bolts...

    Letting out the clutch...

    In my 77 when I let out the clutch to take off from a stop if I dont let it out just right the truck stalls. Even when I get it right it bogs a little and lets out a big puff of smoke and if I punch the go pedal it will fall on its face for a second and then roar to 2800. In my buddies 86 6.9 he...

    Define no rollover noise

    I have heard this statement many times on the forum after a SMF or ZF5 swap, "I use such and such fluid and I have no rollover noise" Well I used lucas part synthetic ATF after my ZF swap and I have absolutely no rollover noise on the road. After the swap I was even wondering what folks were...

    24V from batts...

    I built a bumper around a surplus mil-spec winch and found out the relays on it are 24V. I drew a diagram of how I think I can get 24V and it seems sound but I would like a second opinion or 10. In the top diagram is how the batts are currently cabled. To use the winch I would physically...

    6.9 + ZF5 owners please post your flywheel and clutch type

    Looking for information from the collective. I am getting conflicting information about using a 7.3 flywheel on a 6.9 from different sources. The vendor is telling me their kit will work with any year idi 6.9 or 7.3 and the manufacturer tells me they are different and you can't interchange...

    Garage IDI Build

    Let this be a lesson to you guys running old injectors, this was a sweet running IDI and all the cylinders were 400+PSI and the #8 got stuck open and killed that cylinder in 1 day. We had it pop tested and the shop said it would even hold 10psi. Pulled the 6.9 with the dead hole out today...
