    Sled pulling tomorrow...will I even move the sled?? 2wd

    Well guys I got some good news and some bad news. I got the sled to move. But only for 40 ft and I started to spin. I got laughed at but I really didn't care cause I was the only one out there without four wheel drive and a transfer case. At the end of the day I didn't break anything and my...

    Sled pulling tomorrow...will I even move the sled?? 2wd

    Yeah I did take it all the way. I've been reading recently that I should turn it back from pump failure. I mean the truck runs fine now, so I kinda have been lazy and haven't gotten around to backing it down a bit.

    Sled pulling tomorrow...will I even move the sled?? 2wd

    Ok tommorrow is the county fair here in my hometown of Van Wert, OH. I told all my friends that I'll be pulling just for fun, but I'm really worried my truck won't even get the sled moving. My truck is a 1986 Supercab 6.9 Diesel 4spd 2wd with 3.55 gears open ended. It has pretty new firestone...

    Hose inside a hose?

    Yes I agree with you here, it takes me a few minutes just to put twenty dollars in or else it will end up all over the ground lol. It is like a clear plastic tube within that main black rubber filler neck.

    Will start only sometimes? Water Temp light?

    Ok this morning before school I went out to go start my ole 6.9. And the engine temp light just lit up when I attempted to start it. But after turning the key a few times it decided it wanted to crank and fire up. The engine does not have any coolant or overheating problems with it, and it had...

    Even worse than the darkside

    I'm with you on that one. My dad has a 2001 Chevy 5.3 1500 4x4 and that truck screams and its stock. I mean its not a race car or anything but it never runs out of power even when were pulling our 20 ft. boat with it. The GM LS engines, you really can't beat.

    Lift for 2wd

    So if I just bought some spring spacers, would this work without anyother modifications to the front suspension. Obiviosly I'll need a front end alignment done, but anything else?

    Lift for 2wd

    So you still retain the factory springs? I don't want to buy a front lift kit for an F150 with springs because I know well that they will not support the weight of our diesel engines.

    Lift for 2wd

    Ok I want to lift my 86 Ford F250. I have F350 leaf springs out back. But what can I do to lift it up front? Are there any companines offering lift springs for these? I just would like a 2 inch lift, nothing crazy because it is just a 2 wheel drive.

    7.3 IP on 6.9?

    Would turning up the fuel on my 6.9 IP now, compensate for the wear in my IP? Cause I"m getting tired of the hard starts and white smoke.

    7.3 IP on 6.9?

    Well I think I have ruled my IP as being worn out on my 6.9. In the local junkyard there is a f350 7.3 idi diesel that I have been snatching parts off for cheap. I was wondering since my IP is going bad would it be worth the 20 bucks to buy this used IP of a 7.3. I was thinking it would fit, but...

    Bad coolant leak from rear of Engine

    They are new along with completley redone heads with new freeze plugs about 2 years ago with around 10,000 miles. And the engine runs fine so I thinking it can't be the gasket. But this is not really a leak its like pouring out. Where is the oil cooler at? I think it might be that but I'm not sure?

    Bad coolant leak from rear of Engine

    OK guys I have a bad leak that looks that its comming the the rear of the engine. When I start my truck the coolant almost starts to pee out the coolant very quickly.

    Then what is that ring sapposed to do then. Man I'm so stupid lol. I can't believe I pulled that thing right after it was running alright. I guess I can learn from that mistake.

    No start?.. Starts on Ether?

    Its fine. I'm just new to this diesel world and I kinda need every piece of help that I can find. I will surely do that though tomorrow and hopefully thats the only problem with it. So if this does work, what should I do about the white smoke that is present when it is running? I heard it could...

    No start?.. Starts on Ether?

    Hey thanks I will try that too. I'm sorry about all these new questions, but where exactly do you untighten the injectors from? And I still need to know about my other questions I asked about in my last post.

    No start?.. Starts on Ether?

    Ok thanks I will try that tomorrow as soon as I get home from school. But I also noticed that the truck was smoking white when it was running for those few minutes. It wasn't a really bold white color but you could tell it wasn't right. The heads and gaskets have been replaced not too long ago...
