    Oil Cooler Question

    Just returned from 3000 mile round trip to Phoenix and Flagstaff to pick up my dad's TriGlide and an AZ shorty Dodge van(for a buddy). My oil cooler is due for maintenance. I've got a 6.9 from my '87 set aside. I was thinking of reconditioning the oil cooler from it for use on the '93 if...

    F26D/E Question

    I read threads I could find regarding this tank installation. My question: Does anyone here know, after modifying the sender pickup and return pipes with extensions provided in the kit, the distance between the bottom of the tank and the terminal end of the pickup tube where the showerhead would...

    Safari TSR Blues

    I've been running 315/75R16 Safari TSRs for several years. For load range E tires, they ride great. Sadly, they are discontinued. The 255/85R16 Discoverer ST Maxxs I have on now ride extremely rough. I'm searching for suggestions on 35" tires that are a little more forgiving than the Coopers...

    Speed Control Module

    Been trying to get the speedometer working on the '93 since last Fall. Anybody ever found the engine compartment speed control/cruise module to be the culprit? I've had the instrument cluster and speedometer circuit board exposed. No evidence of circuit interruptions. Typical odometer displays...

    How Many Flats??

    Looking for advice for turning up the pump on my 1993 7.3 based on these specific conditions: Banks Sidewinder boost 10psi at 2800 RPM pulling under load with max EGT 750 and no appreciable haze. No real smoke from this truck under any condition, and only light haze under full pedal from...

    Auto Lockouts/Parts

    Anybody have complete auto lockouts, or serviceable internal pieces that they would part with, before I unload $300 on Warn Premiums? Being a left above knee amputee, the convenience of automatic lockouts is a bonus, despite their propensity for failure. I'd like to get my hands on several...

    Cow Catcher

    Literally, just 1 week short of 2 years to the day from totaling my favorite daily driver '90 F250 7.3 by hitting a cow on my way to work, I hit a cow in my '93, on my way to work. Before everyone piles on, I don't live in free range territory. I picked up a fairly priced '94 Super Duty PSD to...

    Spastic Speedometer

    Historically, the speedometer in my '93 F350 4X4(E4OD) has had some irregular spastic activity at or above 70mph. Also, I've had an issue with fuel delivery from the rear tank, which may or may not be relative to my current situation. The truck runs good off the rear tank at local highway...

    C5N

    My '90 and '93 specification books do not show C5N axle code. C5 = 4.10 limited slip rear, does N indicate limited slip front??

    Lockout Parts

    I've been searching for a supplier of individual OE auto locking hub internals. Timing isn't great for me to get to a salvage yard, all of which are an hour way, and I really don't want to invest in complete used automatic lockouts anyway. All the used stuff online is overpriced, most costing...

    1993 Coolant Temp Sending Units, Serpentine Belt

    On a '93 F350, anyone know which coolant temp sending unit serves the Engine Temp warning lamp on the Information Center to the right of the gauge cluster? Also, ordered Motorcraft JK61113A serpentine belt, turned out to be too short even though the application guide said it would fit. Stock set...

    Idle Pump Timing

    I owned the '90(sig photo) prior to, and 4 additional IDI's since joining this group 12.5 years ago. I've never had to mess with the injection pumps or pump timing. I recently finished up head gaskets on the '93 w/Banks Sidewinder I picked up in August. The PO was a lady who's estranged husband...

    Engine Loom

    Working on the '93 F350 I picked up a few months ago. The PO DESTROYED the terminal end of the engine loom, including the glow plug controller wiring. I pulled the engine loom off of a 1990 donor truck. The 12 pin connectors are identical, however the wire colors and configuration are not...

    Injection Pump Problem?

    I believe I have and injection pump problem on my '88 F350. Upon deceleration from highway speed, I've got a serious miss, rough running condition that occurs under light pedal. Idle is a little rough, but no problem under acceleration or full throttle. Return lines have been replaced, and I...

    Discovery S/T Maxx 255/85r16, and Concentric Dually Spacers

    I did some searching on this forum and online regarding concentric spacers. I understand the pros/cons and risk/benefits of using spacers between wheels to provide sidewall clearance for the wider tires. I'm not looking to reignite a debate regarding bearing wear concerns, load bearing ability...

    1988 F350 Transmission Door Tag Code

    I'm looking at adding a 1988 F350 CC dually to my collection to legitimize the dually rearend in the Centurion conversion, and add a ZF to my F250 4X4. The seller insists the truck has a 4 speed, but I can't find info anywhere that suggests a 4 speed was offered behind the F350 7.3 in 1988. Did...

    Another Turbo Thread: A/R .60

    The '87 F350 Crew Cab 4X4 Dually came with an early Banks Turbo system, the compressor housing reads A/R .60 AiResearch, which I understand is a Garrett unit. Beyond that, I haven't got a clue about the internals. I've read some of the recent turbo threads to educate myself. The 6.9 has a blown...

    Rear Differential Question

    I've done some research, but wondered if anyone here had the knowledge of hardware differences between the C5 Sterling 10.25" 4.10 limited slip SRW axle and the F5 Sterling 10.25" 4.10 limited slip DRW axle, besides the obvious number of wheels. Brake drums, axles, etc.......

    1987 F350 6.9 4X4 Dually Centurion

    Today I picked up a 1987 F350 CC Centurion Conversion 4x4 dually with a Banks turbo and Gear Vendors overdrive. The 6.9 has a blown head gasket. I have a beat up '90 4x4 with a solid low mile 7.3 E4OD that is going to be a motor donor for the 1987. I'm interested in hearing opinions regarding...

    Parts

    Good morning. I'm looking at a 1995 PSD ZF5 donor truck, as a parts source for my 1990. My concerns are: 1) Will I be able to use the ZF5 and transfer case without issues? 2) Can I use any or all of the turbo setup on my IDI? 3) Will the front and rear leaf springs mount to the shackles on the...

    Summer Project

    I'm going to start a fire, and throw some diesel on it. I have read tech information presented on this site. I have 2 1990 F250's, a 2x4(ZF5) and a 4x4(E4OD). Besides the 4x4 and transmission, they are identically equipped. I'm going to scrap the body on the 4x4 chassis(sig), and replace it with...

    Stalling condition

    Hope you guys can help me sort out a stalling condition that started suddenly a few days ago. My '90 stalls consistently during deceleration while braking. Many times it will stall under deceleration from 1500 RPMs, braking or not. It also seems to surge after a slight dead spot when I initially...
