    Truck problems

    if the output shaft sensor goes wonky it could be locking up the torque converter. or the converter could be going bad as was mentioned. I would get the "tech" that did it and find his manager/ shop owner and raise the level of shit to above the chest wader mark! There is no excuse for...

    Need help getting to cold for this

    Make sure that that wire moves the door the full amount of travel. I have had 7 customers in the last year bring me a truck with "no heat" only to find a pen/pencil/something holding the blend door part way open and the a/c was cooling the heat down (on brick nose up, the defrost kicks the a/c...

    OBS and BODY lift ???'s

    I havent done a 3 inch body lift on an obs but I have raised quite a few cabs in my dealership days (dont even get me started on how f(&ing stupid an idea ford pulled on that one!). I dont think that the stock shaft will allow for that, but it may. You can get a second shaft at picnpull and...

    Nitro, I live south of you in Portland just off 205, Depending on your route, you could stop by here on your way out and I can check your timing and give it a "once over" with a set of "trained" ears. I have the snap on timing adapter and dont trust it a whole lot but it is far better than...

    2001 TDI Just bought and now it surges. Help

    Look behind egr valve ( remove charger air tube and look through egr into intake bend) It is probably plugged with gooey black carbon buildup. also check your pump for fuel leaks, check return lines, look for air in return line, and be sure the shut off flapper in intake stream is fully open...

    '70 F-100 w/International D301

    Met Tom and Dylan this evening and (as said above) looked over the truck and test drove it. Its in great shape for the year and age, paint is so so but no rust through anywhere that I could see and body lines are straight. Doors open easy and close solid, as does hood. The engine barely fits...

    Need to own 7.3 PSD tools

    if it is 94-97 the fuel pump nut under the turbo pedistal is a major pain without an open end 1 1/4" open end/box end wrench. the glow plugs are easiest to get out with a 1/4" drive snap on 10mm deep well (thinner wall than craftsman) Rose wood diesel makes an injector cup remover/installer...

    Will Ether cause the glow plugs to swell?

    It will expand them if they are on and glowing (think heating a nail head to glowing orange and smacking it with a hammer, same concept with heated air). The ether will also shatter valves and crack heads, blow head gaskets, the list is endless. One other thing to concider, since you are so...

    PSD swap questions... planning stage

    the 94-97 strokes are gonna be the easiest for this swap. The dash is gonna flat out suck, Anything is can be done with time, money, and the right (or big enough) tools. I would swap the dog house off the 94-97 over onto the 87 body and then fab in the dash. That wil be the most straight...

    very hard starting

    Is this constant or a hot/cold issue? If it is constant (no change hot or cold) then its likely the ipr sticking. If it is more apparent hot then it is more likely the hpop, or air in the high pressure system (injector or rail plug bleeding down). I have a spare Ipr valve that I plug in if...

A brand new wide radiator (37" wide, fills core support side to side) and a core support for wide radiator from an 85 f250. These are parts left over...

    FUBAR - Installing IP, Injectors, Return Lines, and GPs

    could be wrong ( happens time to time) but it sounds like the uhaul pump is bad or iffy at best. I have noticed that these pumps dont like to be "messed with". I have pulled pumps on my truck and while moving them out of and back into the truck they tilt and whatnot. I have noticed different...

    6.9 Turbo question

    first off congrats on getting another idi. They are justa bout bullet proof. A dyno sheet is about worthless as it really depends on motor to motor. If the fuel system, pump, injectors, and motor are fresh it will be pretty peppy and strong, as stuff wears out the power drops accordingly. A...
