    bellhousing for IDI

    So here I am going through my projects and I found that I have way too many parts for what I need. So I am just seeing if there is any interest in a bell housing I picked up to convert to a manual. Well, that never happened, so if anyone is interested in it just pm me with your offer. I'll...

    Installing a TACH where one previously wasn't

    Hey, I was wondering if anyone worked up a system in their non-tach truck where they took a sensor from something else and a tachometer from something else and managed to come up with a feasible, workable, accurate tachometer system in their truck. Anyone? I know that a sensor from a little...

    What are good C6 tranny components?

    Hey! I'm going through my options on the tranny for my truck, trying to decide what to do to get it to keep moving over 30 mph and under 6000 rpm. Just kidding, at least want to go over 35 though where my C6 isn't shifting me into 3rd. And since it's the stock setup, with the 305-70/16...

    86 F250 C6 is out. Need advice, rebuild tranny for same price as Zf5 conversion

    Hey everyone. I have a question. I could do things the easy way and just drop the tranny (or drop off the truck) at the local rebuilder who builds transmissions for pulling trucks and off road racers and have a C6 that would probably outlast me. Or for $750 I could drive 3 hours and get...

    Noisy drivetrain

    Hi! What I thought was possible the tranny on my truck that would make grinding noises and shake at 30-35+ mph, I'm inclined to think it may be the transfer case which is a 1345 since the tranny would stop the noise when foot was off the go pedal. Since this is just a guess because I...

    Pro-Comp tires

    Has anyone run ProComp Xtreme M/T on their trucks? I found a great set very reasonably in 315/75-16 and am very tempted.

    Smoke on the water - Actually in the cab from the Y Pipe

    Now I've found it to be impossible to find a stock Y Pipe for my '86 and it seems that ones for a '94 NA are just filling shelves in every parts store and warehouse. For those that have done it, how well do these bolt up to our older engines? I know some tweaking will need to be done, but...

    Fuel pressure problems, IP may just be ok!

    I've been fighting a fuel issue with my 86 lately, and besides a few lines that were spitting out into the valley which were changed out with a set on the driver's side and relieved myself a few problems. NOW!!!!!! I've been wondering why the truck has been stumbling around even though it...

    Seems like it all breaks at once

    :mad: Up until two weeks ago I was doing some much needed routine maintenance on the 86 F250 in my sig, hoping all I have to do is drop in another POS steering pump. Well, have the truck parked under the tree where the temps were only in the 90s in the shade (by the way, I live in Door...

    When it rains, it pours - diesel!

    :rolleyes: Went to startup the workhorse yesterday, and as usual it had lost it's prime. I've known this for a while, and was going to replace the mechanical pump with an electric one to alleviate this issue as well as just improve the return lines and feed lines for the system. It's...

    Local Pick N Pulls

    Hi! How has everyone's luck been at the local Pick N Pulls? Mine has a 4x4 C6 that I need that supposedly came in last November, but I am tempted to try for $150. I Have to go there to pick up a door for my brother's Dodge (May just look for one that actually shuts on mine too) so I was going...

    Got "NEW" truck, am considering a swap to diesel

    The truck is a 1988 F250 4x4 with 5.0 and AOD. I was considering swapping in my 6.9 and C6 for now and running as a 2wd until I can scrap out the leftovers and sell the 5.0 and AOD, which both run very well, and pick up what I need to finish the 4wd. This way I will have a truck that will not...

    IDI Bellhousing for 4 Speed

    You know, I've been reading all the posts that say you can make a 460 bellhousing with the IDI by performing just a little surgery on it. Here's the thing, I'm dropping a 6.9 into a vehicle that has a 351m in it and supposedly the sources I have say the 351M and 460 share bellhousing patterns...

    How to improve performance/mileage

    Check your air cleaner. I still have the stock setup on my truck, with the intake up by the grill. Well, this morning I was going to make a trip to the local parts store for a fuel filter and I decided just to check the air cleaner in case it was looking a bit nasty from all the winds...

    The Hearty 6.2

    This weekend I started up my 82 'Burb with the 6.2 and 700R4, and for sitting for months over the winter with no starting, one battery and 3 secs of cranking started this monster up and she ran like no one's business. I left her running for quite a while (nearly an hour to test everything out...

    Mechanical lift pump to electric conversion

    NOW! I completely understand why most people upgrade from the mechanical lift pump to an electric unit - the electric pump is so much easier to install. That mechanical pump is a real bitch to try and install! I'm pretty much committed to finishing the job tonight by putting the new...

    Looking for a good source of parts

    Hey all. After some serious work lately getting all of the systems working in my 86, I've discovered I am in serious need of glow plugs as well as various items around the beast. I remember how much fun it was fishing busted GP's out of the old Chevy 6.2, so I was wondering if there was an...
