    Exhaust tubing technical data

    Furnace is 85,000 BTUs/hr and the gauge is 16. I just need to know the cycle life of the material when the temp ranges from say 700~800 to ambient. I haven't had time to contact the manufacturer. I'm sure they have some tests I can look at. OH and it's a heat exchanger that's specifically...

    Exhaust tubing technical data

    I'm working R@D on a furnace and the exhaust gasses are really hot. 700°F+ so I'm concerned about a requirement that no component emit in the visible spectrum. I could go with Stainless but that stuff is expensive and I'm thinking if I just use diesel exhaust tubing I'll be well within the...

    Looking at an old Kenworth

    Thanks. About 20 calls later and still no luck. I have a TDI VW and a Ford IDI but I'm parting out the Ford, couldn't get reliable parts. Seems like I changed everything twice and I just wan't going for round 3. Never did get it to quit leaking from the fuel return system and I've been...

    Looking at an old Kenworth

    Oh hey and CIb I'm not going to be hauling with this thing, or at least not in the working world. Its a toy. I'll be hauling my camper around with it. Think of a full length flatbed with maybe 10,000 or less on it. I can't imagine I need to stroke my way through the whole pattern. I was a...

    Looking at an old Kenworth

    Well I'm trying to buy but I keep getting "the person you are trying to reach is not available at this time". Driving nuts cause I've decided to give it a shot. The 350 is supposed to be rebuilt and the body is perfect, wheels might be the old funky split rims but they're also perfect...

    Looking at an old Kenworth

    Cheap, under 10K and its a 5/4 so 20 speeds. I've never driven one of those before. But I'd like to assume I could just use 2 and 4 on the rear and play it like a 10speed And no idea about how much room there is but I suspect I could get a fuller 10 in there

    Looking at an old Kenworth

    Yeah I have a friend, neighbor at the warehouse I rent, owns a moving and storage business who said the same thing about the trans. I'm sure I can deal with it but I'd rather just have a 10 speed is the main input I'm getting so far. I'll post picts if i get it.

    91, 7.3 for sale or trade

    OK let me talk to my warehouse manager and make sure someone will be there who's better with a forklift than I am to get it out with. Which means we're aiming for tuesday since they are bound to want more than one days notice. Did you want the heat exchanger as well ?

    91, 7.3 for sale or trade

    Hmmmm. Well I have a bunch into the electric motor but if you have one already you could use then I could sell you the tank, the filters, hoses, pump for $300. There's a heat exchanger I had custom made for it if you want it but I'd have to have say $50 for it. I have pictures around here...

    91, 7.3 for sale or trade

    So yeah, I've been toying with this truck for years and I just don't have time for it anymore. The fuel pump went out last time I drove it and I just don't have the time anymore to keep up with this thing. Its a 91 F250 lariat http://vid29.photobucket.com/albums/...r/DSCN0257.mp4 Not...

    So where do you get a descent injection pump at ?

    Ahahahahaaha well OK then, but i'd a bought one from you :rotflmao So Mel it is then, Thanks guys. I've got a long way to go on this vehicle. New springs are next, after the pump. One of the fuel tanks sprung a leak just sitting there, and today one of the brand new tires went flat. Oh...

    So where do you get a descent injection pump at ?

    Pensacola rings a bell, I think thats where I bought the one that died on me. Dieselcrawler did provide us with the forum, and sounds like he'd love to sell a me an IP. OK so its a 1990 7.3 IDI in a F250 thats been kicking my ass thus far. I gotta admit I'm typically a fair hand with a...

    So where do you get a descent injection pump at ?

    I had one on the truck when I got it, it died pretty quickly, say within a few hundred miles. Got one off ebay for about $400 and it lasted about a split second longer than the first one. Fixed that one by repairing one of the solenoids, lasted about another hundred miles and died again, this...

    Truck died again

    crazy, who'd have guessed, so what do you guys do to help thin out the fuel ? I'd have thought the antigell would do the trick, but apparently not. Although it could have been fatigued over time and finally just let go now that its getting colder out. No time at present to go searching for...

    Truck died again

    I was running biodiesel with anti gelling in it. so not that thick. I had just flipped it over to motor oil, thick, but it hadn't time to reach even the lift pump let alone the IP. So it probably wasn't the fuel. Although I've run plenty of WMO threw it, and when its cold out, the stuffs pretty...

    Truck died again

    OK so I finally had time to get the pump stood upright and take a few things apart. The screen was clean, but the impeller looking device under it doesn't rotate when you turn the main shaft, the one that attaches to the IP gear. I could rotate it independently and watch the four spring loaded...

    Truck died again

    Got the pump off today, but its kinda unwieldy and I've no great way to stand it up. Its amazing how fast though you can get something done when its the third or fourth time you've had to fiddle with it tho. Really looking forward to being done fiddling with it. Some observations as I...

    Truck died again

    Cold and rainy, I guess my only option is to pull the pump, but since I'm not tooled to fix anything other than maybe the screen. I might as well just order a new one.
