I have a 1990 F250 Ext. Cab, 4x4, w/ 5 speed, 7.3 diesel that I am ordering a new engine for, with beefed up pistons, valves etc. so I may add turbo, intercooler and propane kit.
I need a much more durable clutch than the stock one.... also, I need to replace my fuel tanks (rust) and would prefer plastic...and, I also need to replace the sending units in the fuel tanks...

would greatly appreciate help in locating mailorder sources for these items.... preferably, discount.... already spending a small fortune for the engine... he he

Thanks,

rick fine

 

rick,i would contact jc whitney for the tanks and possibly summit for the clutch parts. i have had great success with both. good luck....paulieg69

 

Try Centerforce for the clutch, there almost indestructable. They come in 3 stages and I had the heavy one behind a pumped up big block and a history of not being very nice to trucks with NO problems. Are you looking for a fuel cell type tank, or a replacement exact to stock, only plastic?

 

I have an 1982 f150, got my new gas tank from www.auto-gastanks.com

 

If you want a clutch that will stand up to anything that 7.3 can put out call Bill at 504-827-5300, in New Orleans, The Brake Shop. He can set you up with a ceramic button clutch that will not slip or overheat. Gas tank wise check with MTS company in Iowa, 800-522-1622, they make a tank out of polyethylene, 5 year warranty against cracking. Same material the army uses in their armored vehicles.

a dual plate clutch setup would be the hot ticket. Dramatically increases holding power. They are common in heavy equipment and race cars.
