    ATS 6.9 L Turbo For Sale

    Its up there a bit ..... I have the ability to adjust it if necessary. Not a fishing trip though. I mean to sell it. He is just a bit cautious.

    I have an ATS turbo listed on ebay for a friend of mine. It was removed from a 6.9 4x4 automatic.

    -14 outside should I try to start'er w/o the heater?

    We live, eat and breathe subzero temps up here and I always plug in if its under +20F. Its just good practice. Besides, with 30 weight oil, it really sounds bad without some heat (I have an oil pan heater as well). What can it hurt? Well, bearings for a start. Be nice to her and give her some...

    Tach dive

    Finally got the project running and am left with two issues. The tach is acting odd. I replaced the sender (it needed it) because it didn't work. Now when I pull on the headlights (or just parking lights) it dives. Like from 1500 RPM down to 400 RPM. In addition, an alternator check shows power...

    6.9 in a '90 F-250?

    Finally got it to run!! Crasy issues... all of them mentioned on the site (bad o-rings on the injectors for one) and some not mentioned (starter solonoid frozen, fuel line broken off the tank switch). Now, the oil pressure guage, tach, water temp, and volt meter don't work. Fuel gauge does...

    6.9 in a '90 F-250?

    Ok, this isn't as easy as I thought. Three (partial) days into the swap and all I have left is a rat nest of wiring. Learned alot though. 1) engine won't fit in the bay with the oil filter on 2) engine won't fit in the bay with the starter on 3) engine won't fit in the bay with the clutch...

    6.9 in a '90 F-250?

    As much as I would like to do a nice rebuild, my project list is entirely too long and I need a runner like yesterday. Bottom line (at least for now) is if it ain't broke I ain't fixin' it. I'm going to marathon this truck together in one night. With beer, of course, and my usual group of...

    6.9 in a '90 F-250?

    I'm pretty bad about saving stuff. It never fails...as soon as I pitch it out, I find a need for it. I will pull all the jewelry and probably the crank as well. Never know when you might need a spare. J

    6.9 in a '90 F-250?

    Well, I'm going to get started tonight on the project. First will be to pull the 6.9L out and give it a good looking over. From all the feedback, it seems to be a pretty simple job... The 5-speed is currently behind the blown 7.3 so it must be the Z model. I'll update as I go. Are there...

    6.9 in a '90 F-250?

    Thanks for the quick reply. I was hoping to hear that!:Thumbs Up I'm a little unsure on the swap...most of my diesel time was keeping my GMC 6.2 alive and that was not a friendly engine. :puke: Glad it's gone. Is there a way to ID a ZF 5-speed from any other? J

    6.9 in a '90 F-250?

    Got a steal on a '90 F-250 with a blown 7.3l 5-sp manual. Got a steal on '84 6.9l auto with 35,000 miles on it (rolled and forgotten). Question; will that 6.9 fit? From what I gather on this and other sites it isn't much different but I'm worried about electricals, motor mounts, exhaust...
