    Anyone know how to search for really old posts?

    I tore into a motor tonight that I promised to report back on in a post from sometime between 2010 and 2012. When I search my posts it only goes back to 2013. I guess I have been on here a while and there are probably not many who saw the original post, but I did say I would post pics of...

    Confession: the MB 617 is a better motor than the IH 6.9/7.3IDI

    I know this part of the forum doesn't get much traffic, but I had to post some pics from yesterday of my 85 300TD. This thing has 440,000 miles on it and just won't quit. We got hit in the front end and bent the frame while on a cross country trip 4 years ago but it made it back to TN. When I...

    core support interchange

    will the front core support off of an OBS powerstroke work in an IDI? My core support is shot on my 94 and I have a line on a cheap 95 powerstroke with a bad transmission. It has lots of parts I could use, but the core support is my main project at the moment. If not, any commentary on which...

    does upgrade to 12 inch clutch require different flywheel?

    MY 87 with a t-19 needs a clutch. The roasted one I pulled yesterday is a made in Taiwan 11 inch disc. Online I see lots of links for a 12 inch upgrade but its not clear whether I need a different flywheel. The flywheel I removed seems like it could accommodate a 12 inch disc with the correct...

    Field wire missing on alternator

    I just replaced the alternator on my 85 and noticed that the field wire is missing. The plug must have melted with some previous owner and they put in a new blade fitting on the stator wire and just cut the field wire at the alternator connector and at the other end of the pigtail near the...

    a tale of delphi glow plugs (with happy ending)

    About three years ago, when uhaul was clearing out all their stock, I bought a set of glowplugs from them on ebay. I thought u haul only used motorcraft plugs, so I didn't care that the brand was not listed in the ad. When they arrived I saw that they were Delphi brand so I got on here and...

    I am currently on a family road trip cross country in the 85 benz. All was going well with only minor issues until we tried to go see the Glen Canyon Dam in Page, AZ. Had a rental car full of Chinese tourists pull out in front of me there and the car took a good hit to the front passenger...

    Picked this up off Craigslist yesterday. Its an 87 cab and chassis with a five speed. It needs return lines, glow plug system work and a wheel cylinder, but it runs great and shifts through all gears without any grinding. It will eventually be a flat bed dump to replace my 71 1310 harvester...
