    Parking Brake Cable Replacement- And maybe a cure for your weak parking brake.

    I have drums off of my 86 F350 right now. This would be great if I could get some specifics on this. I took it all apart because the parking brake cable was not working. Wouldn't engage well or spring back. It has new DORMAN cables for all 3 (front, left and right cable). I'm not sure what...

    Another zf5 swap

    I put 2 gasser ZF5's in 2 of my diesels. I thought the gas pressure plate was different and couldn't be used. I prefer the ZF5 gasser as well. I have 3.55. On both of my installs, I purchased the LUK solid mass flywheel conversion. Got em pretty cheap online. LUK 07225 $250 at rockauto. I...

    1990 f250 electrical issue

    Check your high beam, low beam foot switch. My lights went out before and this was the culprit.

    My Turbo Tale

    Take note on those Auber gauges, I've always wanted them for my EGT and Water Temp (for water temp I trigger my Mark 8 fan and its adjustable) but they do not like cold weather. Anything around 32 degrees and below causes the reading to show EEEE. I installed 2 this past December to get...

    Ranger Overdrive Torque Splitter looking 4 Personal Expierence

    We actually bought a place already so we've been back and forth (Rte 68) but only in a Ford Escape so I don't have experience towing yet. But that's what I'm thinking, I may be going slow but at least I'll be moving.

    Ranger Overdrive Torque Splitter looking 4 Personal Expierence

    Awesome, thanks for all the input. @jpw, I know it wasn't a diesel, but your 5.8 combo with a ranger still paints a good picture. @zebrabeefj40, the ranger is rated at 420 ft/lbs and 26k GVW. The problem is everyone knocks the low torque ratings, however, the ZF5 (42 models) is only rated at...

    Ranger Overdrive Torque Splitter looking 4 Personal Expierence

    Thanks for the input Heath. If my math is right, you have the below ratios (under the ZF-5 Wide Ratio). The US Gear has a 20% change (you have underdrive).

    Ranger Overdrive Torque Splitter looking 4 Personal Expierence

    Hi All, I know overdrive units have been discussed in the past, but I have not found any thread where someone has provided feedback that actually owns a Ranger Overdrive Torque Splitter in our trucks. I am looking to put one in my truck for a towing application (85 CC 7.3 Turbo'd w T-19 Dually...

    Did you ever get to try this? I am looking at the same one.

    intercooler for cummins swap?

    Very cool, thank you for the pictures. I wonder if it's big enough for a 1st gen Cummins.

    intercooler for cummins swap?

    How did the CXRacing 31x12x3 intercooler work out in your application? I have a rotary pumped 12V and looking for an intercooler that doesn't require much modification for an 86 F350 front end.

    ALTERNATOR TACHOMETER ???

    TWeatherford, Which auber gauges do you have in your truck? I am looking into getting the same gauges. They have 2 different tachometer units and I'm guessing you got the one with a "progressive shift light". I've just rewired my alternator and am now set up to pull from the stator wire. Do...

    Pre Pump Fuel Filter

    Why would you need the simple plastic inline filter if you already have the goldenrod filter ahead of everything?

    Agnem, Thank you so much for following up on this. I was in search of an electric pump that was readily available and reliable and it looks like this is it!

    Group 31 batteries in 80-86?

    I've use both copper and non copper lugs, they both work fine for me.

    Group 31 batteries in 80-86?

    Group 31's are the best upgrade for our trucks. I have AC Delco's and they were cheaper than replacement Group 65's. They were under $100 each. The threaded studs are worth it to me even if the battery wasn't stronger. They fit without modification but you can trim the tray so the battery...

    9" x 7" Large Ford OBS Mirrors

    Yesterday in the junkyard, I stumbled across larger OBS mirrors. There were 2 trucks in the yard that had them so I grabbed 2 (1 was busted). I wanted to see how they'd be on my truck. This mirror came off of a late 60s, early 70s Ford truck (with the same mirror swing bracket we have...

    How has this mod been working for you? Any issues with the Alternator belt anymore? Do you happen to know any more information on the idler pulley?

    how good are the ZD9 glow plugs for manual button systems??

    How long have you been running them? Are you still using the Bosch 80034? How long have you used them? Do they work in the cold (-15 F)? The 80034 is the repalcement for many AC plugs: 7G, 12G, 11G

    AC Delco 15G test...

    I'm guessing these 15G plugs aren't the way to go with our ford idi's. What plug did you end up using?

    engine block heaters

    Thanks a lot for tips. I know that style (lower radiator hose heater) only goes up to 750 watts. What temperatures do you see and how effective is your lower radiator hose heater? Today we saw -2 degrees in South Jersey and that's not including the wind chill. So I'd like to know how well...

    engine block heaters

    How do you tee into your lower radiator hose? Do you have pictures of yours installed? I get that you cant just put it inline with the lower radiator hose, but I'm trying to picture teeing off of it.

    Tank type block heater?

    I don't understand your set up. What are the benefits/differences in using the drain port, (return) heater hose method as opposed to just using the lower radiator hose. Are you refering to the pump style heater or the inline convection hose heater. Lower Radiator Hose Heater...
