So I'm looking for others opinions on tire balancing beads. If you have used them what do you think compared to standard wheel weights? I have just a regular all-terrain 265/75-16 tire on the truck that I would be using them in. It also has aluminum wheels which is why I'm not a huge fan of the...
Well since we are less than a week away from the deadline for the reserved sites at the campground I figured it's time to get a convoy thread going. I'm going to be coming down I-81 to I-40 from central Pa on July 6th unless everyone else is coming down another day, then I might change my...
I'm looking for a used obs intake for a 7.3 that is in decent shape. I've been throwing around the idea of making one fit my idi. Let me know whatcha got and how much you want!
Well I guess since I have a little time tonight it'sa good time to show everyone what I'vebeen working on and how it has morphed along the way. A little back story is I have an 86 F-250 extended cab that I had repainted a number of years back. It has a 6.9L and a 5sp that I swapped in to replace...
So I'm in the process of replacing my steering box and powersteering pump on my 85 F-250. My questions is my 86 calls for type F atf in the powersteering, but my brothers 97 F-250 calls for Mercon atf. I'm just wondering if one is better than the other or if it even matters since everything is...
So I've hit a dilemma tonight. I had bought a 7.3 IDIT engine that I was going to regasket and stud for in my truck. The problem is I got a chance to pull the heads finally and the guides are a little sloppy. So I'm on a bit of a budget, but I want it to be right as well. So my question is do I...
I am going to be regearing my 10 1/4 very soon and would like to rebuild the trac-loc. I tried calling the Ford dealer for a clutch kit but it is no longer available. Any suggestions for where to get a clutch kit and does anyone have the part numbers for it? Also can anyone give instructions on...
Just fixed the exhaust so my brother and I thought we would make a video of how it sounds. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q698GguBdho&feature=youtu.be
I have a 6.5l diesel fsd cooler(aka pmd cooler) with a 40in. harness extention. It is ment to be mounted on the intake but with this extension it will reach the drivers side fenderwell. It has the black pmd with it but it is unknown if it works or not as it was on a parts truck that had no hood...
Finally decided I am going to replace the steering shaft on my truck with a Borgeson. My question is should I get a shaft with or without the vibration reducer? I figured I would ask since I know some others on here have been running them and just wanted some input and opinions.
Thanks,
Alex
Which coolant is better? I have been looking at Fleetgaurd's ES compleat line. I don't really want to use the Fleetcool becuase I would rather have the DCA-4 over the DCA-2(just my personal preferance since the Ford stuff is the same as the DCA-4). I know that the PG is less toxic than the EG is...
I have been working on a 97 7.3 that you have to crank for 45-60 secs. before it will start. I have been watching the data stream while cranking and the HOP pressure only starts to come up right when it fires. I am sure something is up with the high pressure system. Question is could it be that...
Does anyone have a complete part numder list of what should be in one of these kits? I am looking at buying one and want to know what is missing. also if anyone has one to part with let me know.
Thanks,
Alex
I have a brand new Snap-on S6133 injector pump rotating tool. I bought it hoping I might be able to make it work on a ford 6.9/7.3 but no luck. I would like to get $50 obo for it. It has never been used and they are now discontinued from snap-on.
thanks,
Alex
I have an 86 F-250 ext cab 2wd with a 6.9 diesel and a 4 sp. It also has 3.55 gears. I don't know the milelage on the engine as the one that was in it was not original and had blown head gaskets so I put a good 6.9 that we had back in it. It was a georgia truck that I had bought for the bed. I...
I have a Snap-on S6133 injetion pump rotating tool for GM 6.2/6.5 that is brand new. The Snap-on dealer told me that they have been discontinued. I bought it hoping I could make it work on a Ford 6.9/7.3 injection pump but have since decided it isn't worth the hassel and I would rather just get...
what is the going rate for a 94 factory turbo 7.3? found a guy with a good running one for 1,200 without the turbo or 1,500 with. Seems a bit high, what do you think I should offer him. Not sure on the mileage. The truck was a salt truck with bad rust.
Thanks
Alex
I have a truck that I have been getting ready to sell it is an 86 f250 with a 6.9. I put a used engine in it that we had sitting in the shop for about a year. It starts good but it lopes a little at Idle and smokes blue when you stand on it. the guy we bought the engine from said the engine...
I have always used motorcraft glow plugs but Diesel Rx has dual coil glowplugs. I was curious how well they work? They claim that they won't swell but I thought maybe someone on here has real world experience.
I have an 86' bed that is rusted out over the wheel wells and at the back on the sides, but the bed floor is great except for dings and dents and a hole for a gooseneck hitch. I wanted to see if anyone was interested before I haul it to the scrap. I was going to start out asking $150 OBO. Feel...
What size is the pipe used on the hypermax pulse turbo for the downpipe? Are they all the same or are there different sizes available? I just bought a used pulse kit and the downpipe is only 2.5 in. Seems kinda small? does hypermax sell a 3 in or will i have to make one?
I have been trying to buy a turbo kit off of someone else since febuary but he still hasn't taken it off and now won't return my e-mails. so I'm going to give him a week to get back to me if not I am in the market for a good used Hypermax setup(for zf prefferably but not manditory) for my truck...
Intercooler with AC
I am in the process of buying a used Hypermax turbo kit and have seen that a lot of guys are making their own intercooler setup. My question is I have an 86' F-250 with air conditioning and it doesn't look like there is enough room for an intercooler, How do you all make one...
