    parting with 94 turbo IDI F250 Xcab 4x4

    ok fuelscrew what piece exactly do you need? I have the parts off the colmn but some of them are broken so I need to know what you are looking for. as far as the transmission, I really want to keep everything together if possible (engine and transfer case). I have to move everything soon and I...

    parting with 94 turbo IDI F250 Xcab 4x4

    well I still have all the linkages and parts sitting there. I had really waned to sell the entire package on account of needing to move everything, but pulling it apart would be an option i guess. if I could find somebody to take the rest of the drivetrain then sure I'll part it out. I just dont...

    Oil pan removal to check con rod bearings?

    same here I am gonna pull the engine as soon as I find something to do it with, Harbor Freight has the sweet folding engine hoists for like $150, but that may have been a Christmas sale deal going on. You could just pull the body off before you pull the engine like i did. Makes everything way...

    NightMoose meets "the Fuzz"

    First ticket(s) I ever got was in the blue truck in my sig. First day of my senior year in high school if I remember right. I had my 7'X16' equipment trailer with my mower loaded on it going through town about 3 or 4PM, so it was still bright daylight outside. Get through downtown and hit the...

    Hybrid Project

    yeah I have my reasons for using the ford frame instead of the half ton suburban frame. I almost ditched the tractor one day cause the burban started dancing all over the road at 45mph. The burban frame itself is not rusted too bad but the supports for the body and the body mounts themselves...

    Hybrid Project

    yes I had considered swapping the running gear into the suburban when i got the truck a while back, but it would take too much money to make it do what the F250 will do. The suburban is only a half ton model, which is not really a problem if i was only going to use it as a daily driver. But I...

    Hybrid Project

    I know for sure the wheelbase is long enough, if not too long. I got thinking about leaving the body length like it is and doing some major mods to the fenderwells. Most of the bottom 6" on the burban body is bondo i think, so cutting and patching with fiberglass or whatever is doable. So the...

    Hybrid Project

    yeah the pine straw was an accident, the engine compartment had straw and leaves and all sorts of trash all over the place and some of it fell in when i pulled the valley pan. SWS I was planning on leaving all the frame and drivetrain components in place and use nothing off the suburban but the...

    Hybrid Project

    so now i finally get around to putting some pictures up of the carbage I also got looking at the lifters and guess what! they look spotless. I ran my finger over all the rollers and they all spin free and no grooves or flat spots as far as I can feel. So me and dad got thinking maybe it was...

    BROKEN LIFTER

    I am kinda in the same boat only I may not get off quite as easy. Last oil change I pulled a BB sized chunk of metal off the magnetic oil plug. Found another one when i drained the oil to pull the engine apart. Both were buried in metal shavings. I just hope those shavings didn't get into the...

    Hybrid Project

    dude sweet!!! I thought about something like this earlier but i had no idea where to start. Big problem is this thing is a ext cab with plenty of rust holes in it. Blackdog that rig is beautiful, but i get the feeling i would be out buying stuff again. I am trying to use these two half trashed...

    Hybrid Project

    well the transformation has begun call me nuts but here goes For the last 2 years I have had this idea in my head for a vehicle that will do almost everything i need it to. I bought a 1985 Chevy suburban a while back and then i bought the F250 a little after that. Back then i knew what i...

    electrical idea/question

    I kinda figured that would happen, seemed too easy. Where could I find them and what would a pair of 200s run?

    electrical idea/question

    I bought a 2500 watt inverter (5000 watt surge) a while back and never hardwired it to the batteries because I heard something about it still drawing power even turned off. Manual said the only way to not drain the batts is to disconnect it. So I thought why not wire up a set of heavy relays so...

    Does your truck say "Merry Christmas"

    I remember snow when I was 2 or 3 years old which would have been 1990 or 91. Forecast highs down here next week are in the 70s. From what my dad said it looked like a demolition derby around here when it snowed back then. I think I went to see my cousins last Christmas in shorts and flipflops...

    Even with everything considered, my truck still HAULS

    hey now the duramax is a fine truck too, I am driving my dads cause my 7.3 is broke down??? I just dont like having computers do all my thinking for me. Cant even do a decent burnout with all that traction control stuff or whatever it is that over-rides the right foot

    Does your truck say "Merry Christmas"

    Probably some new import-friendly front bumper laws coming too soon... Yeah anyways every year the middle and high school kids from my church go out to our place and me and dad do a hayride in the back of the M35 deuce and a half. I think i burned a battery up though cause i ran 3 strings of...

    hey is there any way to search for guys on here by location? I cant really find anybody in GA with an idi. every ford i see around here is a powerstroke. a search by state or region would be pretty sweet but i haven't found it yet if there is a way

    Dual Alternators

    has anybody ever heard of a internally regulated alternator? I thought I read something about them a while back on a cummins forum or something. Assuming they do exist, would it be possible to run two internal regs side by side and completely take the old alt and regulator off the 7.3? Then you...

    Dual Alternators

    so you have to isolate each alternator from each other? I dont really know how all the charging and regulator stuff works so if anyone wants to explain or knows a link on here it would be great. I thought dual 12 volt alts running together would just double the amperage. But I am only 20 and...

    Dual Alternators

    Motobreath I was thinking the same thing as you. I have a thing for auxillary lighting as you can see in my avatar. They came in handy after a concert on the front lawn of my college campus one night about 1 AM. Me and a bunch of guys from the baptist student union were breaking all the...

    Engine Timing and Lack of Black SMOKE (NOT Looking to get Black smoke....just read)

    Ok I was thinking timing too. I know the M35 we bought a while back from DRMO seems like the timing is retarded. My dad drives a tanker for a living and he said the smoke and lack of power points toward that. My guess is that anything the government uses would be tuned down to a certain degree...
