You can cut the bushing eye off the master pushrod and weld on a rod end. Keep the rod the same length. Grind the weld off the backside of the pin on the pedal and knock it out. Put a bolt through the hole and the rod end. Pretty sure it's a 3/8" hole.

No need for a bracket on the firewall. The clutch master attaches direct to the pedal assembly so sheetmetal flex isn't a problem. Do you have any pics of your "stronger" release lever? As mentioned above pull the slave and work the pushrod slowly to get the air out. Keep the hose as vertical...

I'm running the cast slave right now with the factory master. No problems with either. Slave shouldn't move around much if at all. Shouldn't be too difficult to remove and install either. Pull the slave and check the three tabs that lock it in. If it wasn't installed correctly last time and...

iGaging Angle Cube I have one and I like it. http://www.igaging.com/page11.html

I have one with a vibration. Sometimes at idle it will shake the truck, push the clutch pedal enough to slip the discs and it will quiet down. Are you sure when you installed the flywheel that the crank adapter and flywheel seated properly? Mine was a pretty snug fit and it took some work to...

I've had 5160 on the front for a year. Better than the stock shocks they replaced. The bodies are doing well but the banjo fittings on the hose are rusty. Wish I had the time to paint the bodies when I installed them.

Is that for the one turbo or both?

Good point about the derail. I started a seperate thread about it.

To keep from derailing this thread ... http://powerstrokearmy.com/forums/showthread.php?p=727108#post727108 I've copied some of the posts here, hoping someone can explain this to me. I have read about this many times on many forums and just can't understand how this happens. Basically two...

I can see how 140 psi of backPressure will hold valves open. A rod that can take several thousand psi of combustion pressure being bent with only 140 of back pressure doesn't make sence to me. Won't boost and backPressure both be trying to push the piston down?

Did i miss something ... How does backPressure bend a rod?

Your new block was shipped from a Detroit warehouse/dealer? How do you know you got a "new" block? Ford is spray welding the bores and machining to original size so that's not a good way to tell. Ford and Navistar had huge stockpiles of parts and engines in 08 and 09 when they were going...

Weren't all the 6.4L blocks cast at the same Indianapolis foundary? .. Which has since been closed?

http://www.powerstrokearmy.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1783 Open the link in the post and look under air management system. IAT2 is the rear one. I don't have the part # on hand.

Weaving or zapping a weld can be useful but most of the time it's pointless. It doesn't look better ... just different. Flat and horizontal position is easy with mig ... set the machine to appropriate parameters ... hold proper gun and work angle ... pull trigger ... move in a steady speed and...
