I made a post about my 1986 f250 6.9 running like crap a while ango. Ended up being bad fuel pump. Well I decided to swap in a 1993 7.3 turbo because I want more power. I’ve done the 7.3 serpentine setup swap on other bullnose trucks, but not with factory Tach like my truck. I am gonna keep...
Yeah these days it’s tuff for everyone. Hope things change, but I’m not too optimistic :confused:
I only have room for 10-12 depending. But I have neighbors, so I’m trying to clean things up. This was this summer, then there’s another 8 or so parking spots to the right I’ve got it looking 100x...
Thank you
Yes! The t19 ones are impossible to find. I had a truck I was doing a motor r&r on this summer, and the release fork was terribly worn. Couldn’t find any online. So I goobered some welds on the pads that contact the throw out bearing. I wasn’t able to use hard facing rod, so we will...
Interesting! I definitely understand a guy wanting highway gears. Around my here on the PNW coast seems like guys are always looking for low gears for running big tires and wheeling.
Well I got good and interesting news! I’ve parked the truck as I don’t want to get stranded. Yeasterday I fired it up and drove it from the feild up to my driveway. I pulled the mechanical fuel pump to get another truck running. It ended up running great! Today I went ahead and swapped my...
On the topic of 4x4 1tons, I went a picked this up for $1500 the other day. Kodiak Alaska truck, super rusty! Sat for 9 years. 1987 6.9, zf5, D60 front. Got it running. Gonna keep motor as a spare. Zf5 is going in my white truck I built this summer, as the current zf5 that is in it is terrible...
I’m not bullshitting, I’m driving it today and the clutch master cylinder went out.LOL tomorrow I’m gonna be driving my brothers 85 with the 6.9 to town to get parts. It never ends with these turds:idiot:
Thank y’all for the help! I’ll drop some coin on a better IP and injectors here next good pay day. I’ll check fuel pressure first. But I’m sure that’s the problem. In the meantime I’ll be driving my 91 with the 7.3. It’s a pile, and needs starter fluid even on hot starts. But it’s got loads of...
Yeah, I didn’t hear anything bad about the Pensacola Diesel till had already bought it. But I’m not in it much so I could buy another one. Just sucks throwing money at something without knowing the problem. I’ll put a Fuel pressure gauge on it and see what it reads.
Ok thanks! Lift pump is brand new international NOS pump I ordered off eBay. Injection pump is a rebuild from Pensacola diesel. Injectors were from accurate diesel.
I ordered it off eBay. It is an international NOS part. I paid $110 plus shipping for it, hoping it was gonna last longer than parts store pump. I guess it could be the lobe for the pump as well? We had a truck where that lobe stripped out and we were left stranded
Hey guys. First time posting on here. I have a 1986 F250 that I bought out of a barn. Been sitting for 10 years. I got it going. Then swapped it from 2wd auto to 4x4 manual zf5. Truck was EXTREMELY gutless. Couldn’t pull a slight hill without being floored in 3rd. And I was floored in 4th just...
