6.9l Diesel Fuel System Maintenance

Part 7 of getting this old thing running right again! If you're not familiar with this series, I bought this truck (1986 Ford f250 6.9 liter diesel) for $500 and have been fixing it up and keeping track of the costs. Today we're doing some long needed maintenance on the fuel system for the truck, including the fuel water separator, fuel filter, and some fuel additive. Zip ties and bias plies would not be proud. Stay tuned for the next video!

Not fresh gas, fresh fuel!

Spray everything down with some PB Blaster maybe take a look at that throw out bearing when need be

[@user-rk1bf4eh2p]

If the frame is in good shape but it's a good buy 500 bucks for that truck

[@user-rk1bf4eh2p]

I don't know how good those tires are but you want to get the diesel off the tire as quick as possible

[@user-rk1bf4eh2p]

I wish I had it

[@andrewgomez7960]

Ford used to sell a bushing kit for the brake and clutch pedal assembly. Kind of a pita to change but doable might even be some old videos out there on how to change them. Also you may have to end up welding a plate to the fire wall if you have a rust issue with the assembly mount. Last the clutch slave cylinder has a plastic clip which attaches the pedal to the shaft check too for wear. Good luck.

[@user-rk1bf4eh2p]

Nothing looks like it's in good shape you keep that truck and put some money into it you'll have something dependable

[@user-rk1bf4eh2p]

Just remember brake porch cleaner will eat certain types of plastic up use carburetor cleaner

[@mikewilliams2072]

Sounds like the clutch and brake pedal pivot on the same shaft and must be dry of lubricant and hanging up against each other to a degree!

[@HarrisT]

I lubed the the linkage up pretty well. Another comment mentioned bad bushings, which I think may be the culprit. Only one way to find out! Thanks for watching, stay tuned! 👍

[@user-rk1bf4eh2p]

Nice truck

[@HarrisT]

Thank you!

[@user-rk1bf4eh2p]

Everything costs so much more today😢

[@user-rk1bf4eh2p]

Does the engine have an EGR cooler built-in?

[@user-rk1bf4eh2p]

It has air conditioning🙂

[@user-rk1bf4eh2p]

Did you change the oil?

[@HarrisT]

Yep. Made another video about that. Check it out 👍
