BushWakr - I'll try the silicon lube if I get a couple of nice days this weekend. You're right about the pin, even just taking the cap off the AFC, the diaphragm pops up a little and that's enough to make the pin stick (and the truck not start). I've heard about a spring inside the pump that is...

Hi Mark, I have the Skyjacker 4 inch lift (about $1100 CDN from www.national4wd.com - I'm NOT endorsing them in any way, they continually lost my credit card info and address, but still had my name and number, and never called to get my address, they'd get the parts and just wait for me to...

You guys think you can't find performance parts out west? Try out the land that performance forgot. There is nothing out here, mail order everything (which actually isn't bad because I get to deal with guys like Piers and Al at PDR and Rod at Wildcat), and you'd better be able to install it...

Al, I agree with the others - that you should maybe look into finding a way to get both . . think of the fun. . drag races... pull offs... ;) All I know is that while I may own a newer model truck in my life, I'm going to be buried in this one!!! :D Ray (Best wishes whatever you decide)

Hey Bob, I got your PM and decided to post the group, maybe somebody'll have an idea if there is actually anything wrong with my pump. Thanks for asking though. I did finally get the girl running again. In the end I took NeedMoPower's advice and pulled off all the throttle linkage to get at...

I'll second formula on the DTT transmission. But I've been real good (haven't done a brake burner in a whole month!! :D ) and I need a front axle rebuild, Piers to set up a shop within a days drive of me and a large boot to kick much er. . butt!! :D

Took a a load of scrap to the scrapyard and on the way out I poked my head into the scale booth to see what my truck weighed. W250 reg cab long box empty except for ~150 lb of tools and almost a full tank of fuel was 6020 lbs without me in it.

My truck is a W250 and I have 1/2 inch on the front and 5/8 on the rear. Does anybody else have this? Ray

You won't regret joining at all. :) I've been here a week and I've gotten tips on tuning :D and help to fix my truck after I'd done something silly :o Welcome aboard!!! Ray

Awesome numbers guys!! :D Good to see some first gens kickin' hiney!:D Now I have to tell my Phord buddy that there's hope for my truck yet!! Ray

It's alive!!! After spending three days trying to get the rabbit out of the hole it's finally out and I can start my truck again!! Thanks to everyone for the ideas. Special thanks to NeedMoPower who's vote to pull the plug so to speak made me decide to go ahead and pull the throttle linkage...

I've just about every little tool I can think of to get a hold of that pin and still can't get a hold of it. After playing with it so much there's no longer enough of it sticking out to get a pair of fine tweezers onto it. A pick comes tantalizingly close to getting a grip on it but always...

Well, it looks as though the pin may be the problem, but I've now discovered (or created) a whole new problem. I of course couldn't wait until the weekend to start playing so I pulled the top off the AFC last night. After pulling the diaphragm up I noticed the pin did appear stuck so I hit it...

Wow, I should have subscribed a long time ago. . :) :) Thanks for the replies, I probably won't get to try anything out until the weekend, but I'll let you know how it goes. Ray Go go school bus

Woohoo, my first reply... Oh it's from me. . I read my post and realized I'd left out some important info. Unloaded I can hit about 18 lbs of boost and my max EGT pre-turbo is a hair over 1000F. My max top speed is 65 to 70 MPH. Ray Still lovin' the school bus

Hi All! Well after months of lurking I finally decided to get my uh ... stuff together and get a membership. I just wanted to say hi and thanks to everybody for all the info. You guys are fantastic, hopefully I can give back a little after learning so much from you guys (although I seem to have...
