    Turn signals only work sometimes…

    So on my 91 F-Superduty service truck, the turn signals don’t always work. The indicators on the dash work when the actual turn signals work, but sometimes neither work. They always click like they are supposed to. I replaced the round flasher on the fuse panel, no difference… What could it be?

    Max safe sustainable RPM

    So I bought some axles with 4.10 gears that I will be putting in Duchess, my 86 F250, which is technically gonna be an F350 after the dually axles swap. Truck originally came with 3.55 gears, with slightly undersized tires I was at 2350 at 80 mph. I run Interstate highways frequently enough...

    Someone go get it!!!

    https://m.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1021306518999921/?ref=browse_tab Not in the best of shape but a damn good price for a 4WD crew cab Bullnose diesel. It probably will sell fast with that price. I kinda want to go get it, but don’t have room for another truck. But for that, might just have...

    Electric window swap

    I would like to get all of the parts Necessary to put power windows in my 86, however, this may sound a little strange, but I only want to do it to the passenger side, and wire up a switch on the dash to be able to control it from the driver side as well. I would like to keep the manual window...

    Leaf springs

    So my 86 has the standard HD 3/4 ton springs, and I’d like to get new springs for the front, and stiffer for the rear. Well really, I’d like to Dana 60 swap the truck, but keep the TTB springs as I understand they are stiffer, but mine are sacked out in the front, and need replaced or re...

    6.0 intake box

    Just wondering if anyone has put a 6.0 Powerstroke intake on a 7.3 or 6.9 IDI. Seems @snicklas was talking about how the intake box bolts up to the battery tray. If no one has tried it I may well just try it anyway, if it don’t work my buddy with a 7.3 PSD said he might buy it off me.

    To stud or not to stud

    Are studs really necessary for a 7.3 with a stock Hypermax turbo kit? From what I’ve read if you want to boost a 6.9 you need to stud it, but the Hypermax doesn’t boost over 14 pisseye, and thats really only under load at wide effen open, above 3k rpm. I understand that studs make things better...

    KansasIDI’s 1990 Ford F350 7.3 IDI Hypermax turbo - dismantled. Delete thread end of year

    Can I just buy the part from hypermax or does somebody have one laying around that they would sell me? Turns out my truck is only half turbo charged lol.

    Well this is normal.

    I thought my new Napa starter’s Bendix gear had gone bad, lifetime warranty so they gave me a new one. Still spun but wouldn’t turn the engine over. Wiring all tested good. Battery voltage good. And then I found this. I have never in my life ever seen anything like this.

    Cat fuel filters

    I’m thinking of buying some filter heads and putting them on the pressure side of my electric lift pump for added filtration. What does everyone think of this idea? If I do it I will post about install with pics

    Is there a way to make a high idle switch?

    I am guessing running power from a switch to the high idle solenoid on the IP is how it is done? Just want to make sure, I am taking this truck up to Scottsbluff this fall and it will need to be able to withstand starting in very cold temps. I hope to add an ether injection system as a backup if...

    The Speedometer Blues…

    Well I am having a terrible time finding the right speedometer gear for my BorgWarner 1345. I have a 1356 transfer case, speedo gears for those are plentiful, and parts for those are much more common. What are the differences in drop angle, and case length? Can I take the 1345 off my truck and...

    Where to get speedometer gears?

    I cannot find where to get the 7 tooth worm gear that slides onto the output shaft in my transfer case. The one that is in there is all mangled up.

    Can you take the cylinder heads off without cracking them?

    I think my head gasket might be leaking between a coolant passage and a cylinder, some others suggested that might be the case on a different thread. It is incredibly inconsistent white smoke. But yesterday it started running around a in normal on the temp gauge. Can you pull the heads off and...

    Could you make an IDI that had wet sleeves and 6.9 pistons by using a 7.3 block? I am guessing that this is impossible?

    I broke lots of **** on my injection pump

    So there is an arm on the drivers side of my injection pump that I broke. What is it and where/how do I get a new one? Also broke the return line inlet off. The threads are stuck in the top. Damn I’m stupid

    KansasIDI’s 1986 Ford F250HD 7.3L IDI

    So I’ve decided to just make a thread for my truck, as it needs a lot of work. This won’t exactly be a build thread, more of a project thread because the truck is far from perfect and never will be cherry. The truck is “mint”, in the way quoted by Peg from the YouTube channel ZIPTIESNBIASPLIES...

    White smoke when engine is cold

    So my truck (1986 Ford F250 6.9L IDI) blows a fair amount of white smoke when the engine is cold. But it clears up when warm. Why would it do that?
