    Flex plate for IDI turbo vs. IDI NA...what to do?

    HI to all, I have to say that I had a nightmare of a time, fully restoring my VIN K 1994 F350. Trying to find parts for this truck's motor was a beating. I bet It'd be easier to restore a motor in a Daihatsu than this thing! Anyhow, I've got another F350 that I'm working on (1992 model)...

    Conveter lock up problems- please help!

    Okay, thanks. Good to know. Now: got any idea what wire it is? I can run a jumper lead down there and bring it in the cab, and hook a test light up to it. So, is it possible that if the FIPL voltage is too low, it will cause this problem? I've been known to jack with it from time to time in...

    Conveter lock up problems- please help!

    I know the BOO switch works, cause i can unlock it while going down the road, I just wish there was a way to intercept the converter clutch solenoid wire to see if the TCM is commanding it to be disengaged. Does the CCS work off of ground? maybe I can isolate the wire in the solenoid pack...

    Conveter lock up problems- please help!

    Well, so I guess I threw a party too early; the problem is back. It only does it every so often, and only around in the 55-65mph range. I bought a Baumann programmable transmission controller, and was planning on taking vacation time to write software programs, but looks like I'm gonna have to...

    Conveter lock up problems- please help!

    well gentlemen, I installed a set of incandescent 3157's back into the truck, and wallah- problem solved. Installing LED's on my motorcycle makes the relay cycle faster, so I know that a resistor is helpful in this application, but wasn't aware of a resistor for the 3157. This just blows my...

    Conveter lock up problems- please help!

    So I'm scratching my head, wondering how LED taillight bulbs would have something to do with shift performance. I could understand the coast switch being tied into the brake light switch, but is it possible that me having LED bulbs would be making this problem? I will report back once I find out...

    Conveter lock up problems- please help!

    Hi there, Well I'm writing in hopes that someone can bail me out on this 94 IDIT with a E4OD. The motor and trans only have about 3K miles on them, but just last night, I noticed what seems to be an issue with the converter locking and unlocking- running 60mph down a flat road, at part...

    7.3 idi charging

    Disconnect both ground cables from the battery. Make sure everything in the truck is turned off, like the stereo. Doors closed. Lightbulb removed from the hood. Now take a test light, with a known good bulb inside, and hook the ground clamp to the ground post of the battery. Put the needle in...

    fuel pressure problem- no power

    Yea, when I built the motor, I installed a BBC block off plate, so its got just the inline Carter on the frame rail. I read somewhere one pint in 30 seconds, with regard to a volume test. Does that sound accurate? I was reading that folks seem to like the Holley red and blue pumps, but the...

    fuel pressure problem- no power

    Hi all, I've fully restored a 94 IDI factory turbo CC F350, and I'm seriously disappointed with the power. I'm not gonna turn up the IP or the wastegate until the motor gets a few more miles on it, but I think I discovered what the problem is. I put a 1/8" T fitting on where the fuel shrader...

    I need help w/ these stupid Fel-Pro valve seals

    Hi to all, Well, in trying to get this factory tubro motor built for my 94 CC, I have once again ran into another snag. It all began when I became suspicious of a poor quality valve job performed by the man who overhauled my heads. There was noticeable valve lapping compound around the...

    f-450 parking brake

    Exactly- that's why I said I'll never do it again!!! Too much work/hassle. Not too sure how you come up with it being balanced. I guess it could be, but it's the yoke that's got the balance holes drilled. Once reassembled, mine worked just fine after I turned my drum. The fact that it...

    freeze 12

    Here in TX, you have to have a license to buy freeze12. www.macsw.org is the place to get the license to buy both. In Mexico, they still sell 30lb cylinders of the stuff; they still make it. Smog? Where? WTF is smog? Mexico? naw...

    f-450 parking brake

    You have to remove it from the transmission to access the nut. The nut is huge, and the preload on the bearings is light. It's like tightening a spindle nut- not too much; just enough. There's two tapered roller bearing inside that are opposed- just like on a wheel hub. You're going to need to...

    f-450 parking brake

    Good luck and God bless you. Knock off the 4 nuts on the yoke, and try to pull the drum off. If it won't come off, remove it from the transmission and try to get it off. This is very difficult. Mine was seized on there, and I had to take a cut-off wheel to it. I ruined it, and had to get...

    Banks TE06H Parts Update

    Fiddy, I got my pump turned all the way up. I'm running factory injectors and a IH overhauled factory pump. It dumps smoke in 1st, and I've got a gillis valve spliced into the wastegate hose. It wastes at 11 on the gauge, so I figure it spins up to 12psi. Mike told me not to take it past 12-...

    Banks TE06H Parts Update

    icanfixall, I bought my sidewinder at a junkyard- the whole kit- for 220.00 because the motor was blown up. Problem is that I didn't know the turbine wheel doesn't come off the shaft. The piston rings ate it up. You have to buy the whole assembly. It's either E or H is the shaft...

    HPOP maybe needs overhual? How to tell?

    Contunity test? is this what the CCT test it? How do you perform a buzz test? I know that the truck has problems with the pigtails that plug into the V/C harness, but I did a pretty good job splicing/repairing them. With 215,000 miles, and 5:13 gears on the original injectors...do you think...

    HPOP maybe needs overhual? How to tell?

    Well, I'm still trying to get my hands over diagnosing this DIT engine w/o the check engine light being on. It's a 95 F-SD, and if it sits up for a few days, it runs like it has a miss. Once it runs for about 15 minutes, the miss goes away. The truck has NO POWER!:puke: It even has 5:13...

    Need help w/ cyl misfire on a 95 PSD

    Well, I'm ashamed to say it- the truck was low on oil. It's got a leak where the dipstick tube threads onto the oil pan. I knew it was low, but not 3 quarts low! It turns out that the low volume of oil wasn't enough for the HPOP to open the injectors. I tried explaining this to some of my older...

    Need help w/ cyl misfire on a 95 PSD

    Is there a way to do a contunity test on the IDM harness where it plugs into the valve cover pigtail? I've noticed all four of the IDM leads running to the valve covers have been previously repaired. Is it possible for the harness that's inside the valve cover (the harness that plugs into the...

    Need help w/ cyl misfire on a 95 PSD

    Hi to all, I recently joined up at the oilburners.net after giving up on the dieselstop.com- at the advice of a friend on here. I recently bought a 95 superduty- saved it from being parted out. I finally got a new starter and a new set of batteries for it, and fired it up for the first...

    IP timing off on overhauled 6.2

    Hi to all, My friend recently put a 6.2 off in his 79 K5 Blazer the other day, and the truck is pouring out black smoke, and won't idle. We're thinking he stabbed the pump wrong. Does anyone have a tech article on the alignment between the cam drive gear and the IP driven gear? I'm...
