    Cummins in 94 f250 possibilities?

    I used the Dodge trans mainly to avoid the price of the adapter plates. It gave me a lot of freedom as well in locating the motor, which does not have to require firewall modification. I did fold the lip over to get it out of the way, but nothing more. I also covered the firewall in heat...

    Alternator belt slap? 1991 F250 4x4

    This is how i mounted it. I unfortunately don't have any road time on it, but as long as the bearing holds up, it seems to work fine.

    gas to idi in a 91 f250

    Just going to throw this out, but the issue on the frame is where the oil filter is on the 351W. It is best to make some kind of attachment to hook the plates up to. The way the mounts are on the IDI motors, the motor mounts sit right on the motor crossmember, while the gas motors (except the...

    Its nice to be missed!

    I got the email as well. Got busy with classes, now with the result of those classes... couldn't keep up with everything so had to prioritize. Now I can spend a bit more time on forums, so I am trying to get on more... A few around here may know me yet.

    LUK smf clutch

    Being a manufacturing engineer, I will say that we do want to know when a product fails so we can be sure to not let it happen again. I have so far always had good results with luK clutches.

    Teach me the ways of the Gear Vendors OD on my C6

    It is best if you do not engage it under 45 mph. The oil pump in the unit is driven by driveshaft speed, so slower = less oil flow. The manual recommends not engaging until 45. If you want a manual, simply contact GV and they will send one out to you. The way I ran the one I had was just to...

    c6 question and gauge location '88 E250?

    Yes, that is the band adjustment. I would have to look up the procedure myself... The switch in the green circle could be a pressure switch or maybe temp, but I doubt temp, as it is in a pressure tap. There are a number of reasons why you would want a switch on a pressure tap.

    Alternator belt slap? 1991 F250 4x4

    No pics, but the truck is sitting 10 ft from me... I will have to get one. Pretty clear view. Funny thing is, now it does the jumping on the top side, just not quite as bad.

    Alternator belt slap? 1991 F250 4x4

    Usually hasn't been an issue, however I have had them jump and twist going down the interstate. Thankfully, it was during business hours for a local parts store and was bale to get the a/c belt on good enough to spin the water pump to drive on in the 20 miles to a parts store. I have put an...

    91 7.3 idi low miles, starting issues/ other ?'s

    On the running out after 1/4 tank, there is a plastic cone that mounts to the bottom of the pickup tube. It is common for this to break off, then you can't draw fuel after the metal tube is no longer in the fuel, which is generally about 1/4 tank reading. It is also possible the plastic sump...

    Looking for ideas and suggestions with lack of power problem that came on

    Got a fuel gauge plumbed in after the final filter, got it back together enough to fire it up for a little bit, and it reads about 5 psi, a bit of flutter, but right around 5 psi.

    Looking for ideas and suggestions with lack of power problem that came on

    I'll have to get it all back together and see what kind of pressure it is running. Part of why it is back to being better is that the electric pump failed, and as a quick attempt at fixing went back to the mechanical... however, it is pulling through the water separator/prefilter, but I didn't...

    Looking for ideas and suggestions with lack of power problem that came on

    It smokes black way easy, but runs smooth and clean at idle. It acts a lot like it is retarded for timing, and responded to cranking the pump advanced, but ran out of adjustment. That is why I thought it was possibly a tooth off. As I was adjusting it, the rev response improved as well, which...

    Looking for ideas and suggestions with lack of power problem that came on

    I haven't put a fuel gauge on it to check pressure. It went from had to drag it home to at least drives, but could be possible. It didn't change anything to switch tanks either. The electric pump died, been hearing the Holleys can fail a seal and wipe out the motor, so I have a Carter to try...

    Looking for ideas and suggestions with lack of power problem that came on

    The subject is an 86 f250 with the 6.9. It used to pull really well, I have tipped the scales at 24,500 a few times hauling scrap with my 40' flatbed. It was being used for just that when it would barely keep going on a pretty much flat stretch of road. The fuel filters got changed, no help. (I...

    Gear Vender Hows and whay for a 10 thumber

    Since the overdrive unit is housed in the tranny on the Dodge 518 and 618, the GV unit is stand alone. The one that came with my 92 replaced the carrier bearing and mounts to the frame. There is a drive shaft between the trans and the GV unit. It might mount straight on if you have a plain 727...

    5.9 Cummins in a 90 ford

    I too did one that was done on the cheap, but only because I did all the fab work myself rather than paying the big bucks fro motor mounts and all the brackets. That will be the determining factor on pricetag, how much can you do yourself. I swapped out a 460 and put a 92 Cummins in mine, used...

    Fuel Gauge = A Big Headache

    Just found out about these, not sure how they mount up, but look real similar to the factory issue pieces... You need to go into the catalog, chose all the way into fuel systems, then do a search for the part number once you are in the fuel system section. try Auto Parts Fast at RockAuto...

    I thought it used to be better as well, just going to have to redo it I guess. They have done a little changing over there. I'll have to try to get a sender and do it up since I have the parts, as well as the need...

    Sunpro Universal Sender installation: ATTN Midnightrider& Fellro86

    I'll go ahead and fully answer this, I have a few minutes... I can see I will need to try and redo the writeup. The gallery there is a bit of a flake, you get the main pic, then click on the sub pics to get the captions where the info I typed is. The wire that comes from the sender itself...

    Fuel Gauge = A Big Headache

    I was going through my old emails, and found the online invoice for Whitney. Do a search for "fuel level floats" and you will find the universal units with the ohm readings. Doesn't appear they have any for the 90's trucks...

    I haven't been getting notified about new posts on the other thread for whatever the reason, I have it set to automatic, but anyway... didn't realize I had PM's and email shut off, sorry about that if anyone has tried to contact me. I can't seem to find the sender online now, I just ordered not...
