    Weird????

    look on the passenger side fender there should be a little metal box with 4 or 5 wires coming out.

    Weird????

    sorry, didn't see your last post. look at the alt. does it have a plug with 2 wires coming out?
  7. haywire

    Weird????

    it's probly the regulator or the wiring between it and the alt. did you feel the regulator to see if it's hot too?
  8. haywire

    Weird????

    what year is your truck,does it have the internally regulated alternator? if not feel the regulator. if the problem persists, try disconecting the plug on the alt. with the two wires coming out when you park it for the night and see if it still drains the batteries.

    Thought it was AIR turned out to be Timing! Wow!

    i came accross one when i was looking for a tach. it said it was good for any idi, but i dunno if it would work for these engines. i googled diesel tach and it came up cause it has a built in digital tach. i can't remember the name of the company though.

    Lets talk performance fuel injection....

    ok, since we're on the subject, i been thinkin' bout turning the pump up a little more on my '76. i turned the screw a quarter turn when i installed the turbo like banks recomends, but i'd like to try to get a little more out of it. just wanted to get a second opinion before i do. egts run...

    UPDATE!!! 76 DIESEL SWAP NEED HELP!!!

    from what i've heard the 7.3's are already maxed out on bore size, trying to bore one out is asking for trouble.

    UPDATE!!! 76 DIESEL SWAP NEED HELP!!!

    yeah, its better because your t-case out of the '79 should bolt right up to the zf tranny or the E4OD. the 700r4 (if you could find an adapter to bolt it to the block) would require an adapter to bolt to a ford t-case. i agree with angem and cat rebel, if you decide on an auto, go with the...

    UPDATE!!! 76 DIESEL SWAP NEED HELP!!!

    yep, wether you go with the cummins or the idi you gotta cut the cross member, but as long as you weld it back up good not a problem. maybey tomorrow i'll take a couple of pics of mine. the fordcummins website also has pics of a mod'ed cross member. by the way, does the 79 have the marriage...

    UPDATE!!! 76 DIESEL SWAP NEED HELP!!!

    not hard at all. i've changed 2 of these old fords to standards this one and a 73 f-100. in your case the only parts you would need is the clutch pedal, shaft, and the arm that goes on the end of the shaft. i got one if ya need it (i think). everything else is on the donor truck. oh ya, one...

    UPDATE!!! 76 DIESEL SWAP NEED HELP!!!

    www.fordcummins.com has complete kits to install a cummins in a 1970 to 1979 ford truck. gotta ask though, what happened to the '88 f-250 donor truck? that sounded like the cheapest and easiest route. it cost about $500 for the stuff to install mine. the other new stuff i added was purely...

    Why is the PSDs turbo louder than the IDI?

    i dunno what mine sounds like from outside the cab, but inside the cab it makes a helluva lot more noise than my 96 psd ever did.

    What should I do for Better Fuel Economy?

    open up the exhaust, get rid of ford's smashed sorry excuse for a down pipe. also ram air and or a free flowing filter would proboably help. what shape is the tranny in? if it's worn, excess slippage will bring your milage down too. what's your gear ratio? i've got 2 idi's one with 4.10's and...

    UPDATE!!! 76 DIESEL SWAP NEED HELP!!!

    yep, what tonkadoctor said is right on the money, PITA. but there is a way to put a yoke on the back of your zf and make it a 2wd tranny. the 1990-97 f-superduty trucks have the 4x4 version of the zf tranny, but instead of a t-case bolted up to the back of the tranny they have a tranny mounted...
