Hello from a Green Freak

rotflJust want to say hi and speak on my 87 Ford f 250 w 6.9 Diesel. I ripped it apart and started over. Now it will become a WVO monster. Once the Diesel is trimmed out then the body strieghtened and a set of Dual Stacks. Then a new coat of paint and every scrap of chrome I can find. waytogo

Sorry about that, I was busy. lol

 

Like my Ex-wife said, " All men say that ".

I am looking to refit my `87 Ford F250 6.9 Deiesel into a WVO burner.

I have stareted by replacing some of the componats on my truck but I have a new problem. It has aquired a bad vibration while sitting for three years non-op. The vibration starts at about 40 and leaves at about 50 miles an hour. I thought the U-Joints were bad so R-n-R 'd them; No change. If you 1) know some one that has had this same issue and 2) advice with WVO conversion would be nice.

Thanks for the Hey, I was wondering if this was an active Forum site. Now I know.

If it's coming from the suspension after 3 years of sitting, maybe bushings, stabalizer etc.?

 

Thats the puzzle

One year before I stored it I had the whole front suspension R n R'd.

The pumpkin was done the year before that.

Someone suggested the bearings may have siezed from being in one place for so long. We are digging into them next but after I get over yhis flu. I know the diesel mechanic who is well known as a very good mechanic had all the bearings replaced when he did the front end.

I really am in a puzzle of a situation. :doah: I know if I had a lift it would be done in a few hours but I doing this on the ground. Rolling around on a creeper in 20 degree weather is not my idea of fun.

Do you have anyone that you could ask? An7y help is greatly appreciated.

I would probably ask this question in the general forum and see if you get a bite, this is the greeting forum. :doah:

 

Dauh!

I was wondering when you were going to catch on. LOL rotfl

I know that is what I am supposed to do. I just get carried away with poking people at times. Just the Tao in me.

I will post in several areas of this site and see what pot I stir trying to get this puzzle solved.

Thanks for putting up with my since of humor. Your a great sport.

Until we meet again,
