    6.9 front main seal

    What does it take to replace one of these? Am I looking at all day with a bunch of blood or is it not too bad? The reason I ask is I am temped to replace the one in the truck Chris and I picked up and start driving it. I really want to get back in a diesel and it will be a while before I...

    Turbo/SVO

    That is the heated filter for running the VO. I deffinatly have a use for that :backoff sorry :D So since this in about Ottoparts and his/our new parts truck I guess I can put the story about the CC in his Avitar here too. I might miss parts but hopefully him and DeanstuD can fill in the...

    Turbo/SVO

    Now you need to tell the story of how we/U got that 89 CC 1ton 4x you are driving. We about stole that one too.:D On the drive home with the SVO truck yesterday I managed to see 9 psi of boost. Is a good running truck but for the front main seal leak ;Sweet The black soot ball that...

    runaway engine

    That is a good point and the engine I was shutting down was not in runaway so maybe the extra rag would be a good thing for durability. Calvin

    runaway engine

    Get a gallon size ziploc bag. Leave it empty and just flat. Take the air cleaner off. There should be a metal mesh over the intake manifold hole. If it starts to run drop that bag over the hole. I was shocked out of my gord to see how fast it brings that big IDI to a halt. I do not suggest...

    6.9 liter IDI in 1976 ford

    I think 105hp and some large amount of TQ is standard for a turbo charged 4bt. I do not expect you to have any sadness over a 4bt in that truck. If your truck is 2wd (and it looks to be) you might find that the cross member under the front of that truck is a whole lot like the one under the...

    6.9 liter IDI in 1976 ford

    And not to knock the IDI since that is what I am trying to put in my 76 but the 4bt is about half the weight of an IDI. If I had had as easy of access to the 4bt as I have to the IDI and if my truck was not going to me some 12-14k pound rig I would have gone 4bt. I think about it anyway. In...

    Best injectors for. . .

    With all this pump mathcing and stuff I got to thinking. Do the pumps that are matched to the A, AA, B, and BB injectors put out more PSI? If they do and you used them on the lower D injectors would you maybe flow more fuel? Could this be a way to get more power with "stock" parts? Calvin...

    2 C6 questions....

    should be just fine. Just don't forget cause the clutches in 2 and 3 do not really like to work from a stop. Calvin

    Question about DB2 pump

    Ok this is very interesting. So I take it the stick pump has a little more go? Do we have data on this? What do we look for on the pump to tell us what it is? What performance differances do you see? Calivn

    SPA Gauges

    I can agree with that. Specially if the numbers are flyin by. On the flip side I kinda like this one too. http://www.kennedydiesel.com/images/R3607VW.gif I like the coloring as a quick indicator for the EGT. Then I would just get the 0-15psi boost gauge even though it is not a...

    ZF5 out of a gasser ok for a diesel?

    So the issue I hear about for the ZF and 5th being weak and should not be used for heavy towing or it can fail is not related to the TQ that the engine puts out? Is it just a weak gear design? Not trying to be difficult. Just want ot have the best understanding I can and to look at all...

    ZF5 out of a gasser ok for a diesel?

    I guess I just use the heck out of my truck. I do not go out looking to break stuff. But at the same time I do not want to have to be thinking about everything I do being the last for my truck. What does an IDI make for TQ at the flywheel? What about a modded IDI? If this can handle a...

    Timing Do-Dad / Thingamajig

    The first shop I called said I was not going to get much power out of my truck no matter what I did. I said yeah that is true, but then I am not looking for more power than it is capable of. I only want it to perform like it should. The second shop I called is one I baught injectors from a...

    ZF5 out of a gasser ok for a diesel?

    That is neat. I worry about this statement though... The unit is built to handle 420 ft./lbs. of torque. Think we might make soup of the internals. Calvin

    Your opinions please.

    I may have to agree with the 60 thing. Way more 60s than 61's. Calvin

    ZF5 out of a gasser ok for a diesel?

    Certainly. For me I am not really looking for an overdrive. More of a can I do it and how. I am researching this for my van. Toyota makes it easy as the input of one trans will slide into the output of another. With my Ford stuff I still have a lot more to learn. Maybe the ZF5 could take...

    ZF5 out of a gasser ok for a diesel?

    ;Sweet That be a great plan. Two 5sp gives you a double overdrive. I have been told though the 5th is a little weak? If the T19 can take it I have even thought of one of thoughs behind an auto. Might even be able to do it without a clutch. :thumbsup: Calvin
