The rest of the stuff is actually pretty easy. You might also want to replace the vacuum cap on the modulator (transmission shift quality thingy). It's a little rubber condom that seals vacuum, costs $3 at the dealer, and likes to crack. When it cracks it causes a leak, poor shifting, and sucks in water rusting out the internals. I caught mine in the early stages of cracking and replaced it before any damage was done. Part number is: 126 277 00 81 Definitely replace that if you have the stock green modulator.

Yerok posted:I just moved to Washington and there are a shitload of single cab 4x4 IDI F350's here. I'm on the lookout for a 4x4 crewcab with an 8 foot bed with a 7.3 turbo IDI that I can take out and replace with a 12 valve, then put the IDI in a dentside F350 crewcab that is sitting in Wisconsin. Why don't you put a 12 valve in the dent side, and then get whatever lovely bricknose and put a 12 valve in that, too...

Yerok posted:Obviously putting a 12 valve in anything is the way to go, might as well do something with the IDI though. I mean the funniest thing to do would be to put a built Powerstroke in the '79 F350. Sell the idi to some redneck on craigslist to fund more 12v mills.

You're breaking the truck by working on it, read the drat label! Circled in red. You're supposed to cut the hood release cable and close it forever with a label like that.

sharkytm posted:Yeah, they're really picky about the parts. You also can't get an aftermarket GP relay, because 90% of them aren't actually right and short out to the mounting tabs. I thought that was a 7.3 PSD thing, not a 7.3 idi thing. But yes, that's the dumbest poo poo.

It was a good event, wouldn't be a proper NEFR unless I did at least one Subaru engine swap. It's only the second time I've done work on a sweep vehicle during the event, which is great. I always like doing whatever I can to help sweep, they work hard to keep the drivers safe, I like being able to give back. I don't usually post much about NEFR, I dunno why, but it's an amazingly fun event. I bring a truckload of tools, a bunch of food, a cooler of drinks, and try to fix as much broken stuff as possible. If your poo poo's broken at NEFR, come find me and I'll do whatever I can to help. (If your poo poo's broken outside of NEFR, I probably won't care  )cursedshitbox posted:On Friday, SIF took a pretty hard landing which ruined a wheel bearing. Saturday, the 36mm Bilstein strut on the same corner failed. It didn't appreciate being bottomed out. Chrisgt cleverly used a floorjack to pry the damaged strut apart. The body looks savable, insert less so. Looks bent in the picture, but I don't think it is, probably grease or something on my phone.  How I pulled this apart. (I found that hat in a crashed WRX in the junkyard).  Heading out on day one. (LC80 that needed help in the background of this pic).

Dagen H posted:A Californian non-competitor posted more NEFR content than all of NEAI combined. For shame. Anyone with a service wristband, turning wrenches to keep cars on the road is a competitor. ANYONE on a team can earn penalties for the team by not following rules, if that's not proof enough, read on. The drivers wouldn't finish without people feeding them, keeping their cars running, and providing support. Finishing the race at NEFR isn't easy. It's way more than just dropping your rear end in the seat and driving around. It takes a well oiled team and I think I can talk for SiF and his codriver when I say anyone who works with us is a competitor.
