    Are 6.9 flywheels zero balanced, and will a 12" clutch bolt up?

    Ok- thanks for the info- I got the 12" clutch today and it appears to be a bolt up. Is there any reason not to use the 12" instead of the 11'" one? I decided to have my original flywheel resurfaced, hopefully tomorrow, instead of useing another one. I was trying to get the truck on the road for...

    Are 6.9 flywheels zero balanced, and will a 12" clutch bolt up?

    I have searched this site and google and can"t find a yes or no answer to either question. I want to use the flywheel off a 6.9 4 speed parts truck I have to replace the trashed one on my daily driver and thought I would upgrade my stock 11" clutch to a 12" while I am at it. Anyone know for...

    truck dies after filling tank

    No- I was running on the front tank and put 13 gallons in it when I filled up. It does seem to not want to pickup the last 1/4 tank sometimes so I generally fill up at 150 miles or so.

    truck dies after filling tank

    That makes sense! I would lean toward the rollover valve being clogged as I live in a dusty environment, or muddy in the winter. I changed out both tanks about 5 years ago as the originals were filled with crud and I had 2 good ones on an 87 parts truck, so I am reasonably sure there are no rags...

    truck dies after filling tank

    :confused:I have had this happen to me on an occasional basis. I fill up my front tank (I usually just use the front tank as the rear is tough to fill due to the utility bed) on my 87 f350 and when I start it up to leave it will surge and sometimes die. Normally it will start back up relatively...

    Injector knock?

    When I had an injector knocking the metal line running to it was hot compared to the others. It was real obvious. I replaced them all anyways as I figured the others weren't far behind in wearing out.

    Will an auto column swap into a manual?

    Update- I finally got tired of the truck shutting off so I pulled out the ignition switch and it came out in 2 pieces! Amazing it worked at all. Installed the one from my parts truck for a "temporary" fix and all is well now. I even have an auxilary position now and my radio display is lit back...

    Will an auto column swap into a manual?

    riotwarrior- I've tried numerous adjustments to the ignition switch with no luck in finding a sweet spot, although I never marked the start point as I have done all my adjustments without dropping the column. Is it really that precision of a setting? I have done the same thing numerous times in...

    Will an auto column swap into a manual?

    Thanks for all the replies so far. Some more info; both trucks are tilt with cruise. What is happening is the truck will shut off while driving, and turning the key a little forward will let it run again. When the key is on, but the truck isn't running, just bumping or turning the steering wheel...

    Will an auto column swap into a manual?

    Howdy all- been awhile since I've been on the forum as my collection of IDI's has been running flawlessly! Now my 87 350 4 speed 4x4 crew is shutting itself off and it seems to be related to the well worn steering column. I have an identical 87 parts truck that is an auto that I would like to...

    Injector pump replacement- how to?

    RLDSL- thanks for the link, thats exactly what I was looking for. Not sure why I couldn't find it-must be the MOD(multiple offspring disorder)!! The fuel system hasn't been opened up so I'll pull the pump for practice, have a good look at it, then see how lucky I feel! Thanks again-Scott

    Injector pump replacement- how to?

    The time has finally come to replace the IP in my 87 6.9. I recall reading a good how to tech article here some time ago, but I cant seem to find it now. Can anyone direct me to it? Also, I am thinking of using the IP from my wrecked truck that hasn't been started in about 2-3 years. Is this...

    where should I buy injector pump?

    :confused: Well, looks like I need a new ip. Any recommendations on who to get it from? As I will be doing the work myself in the boonies I only want to do it once! I am on the central coast of California, near Monterey. Mail order is O K too. I'm not in a hurry, but it did suck having to drive...

    timing advance plunger on ip

    While trying to troubleshoot my miss and white/blue smoke I pushed in the advance plunger on the drivers side of the ip, and nothing happened. I seem to remember that it should stall or speed up or something? Is my ip worn out or is it just my memory? thanks in advance for any advice. Scott...
