So, I've ordered the following from Dieselfiltersonline.com
[31904] LUBEGARD® Limited-Slip Supplement
1 Shipped
[ZD1A] - Ford 6.9 Liter Diesel Motorcraft Glow Plug
8 Shipped
He's sending is via USPS and the shipping charge is $13.95. This is a bit of an experiment because I've never done this before so we'll see how the border goes over. If this works out than it would probably be similar cost to have someone send me a return line kit.

Glad to see USPS in there, UPS is well known for hitting everyone with their own brokerage fees. I simply refuse to have anything shipped to Canada from the states via UPS due to it.
I have used fedex a time or two,a nd haven't had any issues so far.
I'll be interested in seeing what results you have getting this stuff!

That was the same idea I used when I setup my 85' with 6.9, 4sp, 3:55 gears. Used the same guy that setup my trucks. The engine ran very smooth, only a short shot of smoke on a shift. Reminded me of the 3406B cats when shifting. 40 mph difference pulling the same hill with the same load and no problem with building heat. I've said it before on here, 22-23 mpg empty, 18 loaded with 9.5 ft camper and 22 ft Sunrunner cuddy cabin boat. Set dads 87 up the same way and he got better fuel mileage but he has the zf5.
Forgot to add that first an ATS turbo and exhaust was installed on mine, Banks turbo and exhaust installed on dads truck.

Star, the guy I used had a shop in Salt Lake for a long time. He packed up and moved to some little place in either Oregon or Washington around 95'. I'm still not happy about him moving LOL! Name was Joe Bradley, Bradley's Injection Service. He should be close to retired by now.
We turned up my 78' Pete with a 400. He met me at the shop about 7am on a Sunday morning after he calibrated a marine pump and injectors. Already had the cam timing set. That 400 would keep up with a 3406 and stay cool doing it, and get 6 mpg with a short 80,000 lb gross. It was an engine I bought from Cummins as a ReCon. In the warranty period it had a cracked head first trip out, lost 6 turbos, at 90,000 miles the cam and followers were flaking and replaced so at the same time I told Cummins to get rid of the top stop injectors and pump, replace with the old np stuff. Had 2 injectors go junk and the pump messed up. That's when I blew my cookies in cummins, bout got into a fist fight with the smart *** service manager and called Joe to make it right. Down time sure cost a lot with that "rebuilt and warrentied" engine!!
WOW, asked a simple question and get a book written back huh!

I hate to hear about your problems with the cummins,I actually know quite a few stories like that was it usually is a cat. I have had several friends that had tu sue to get there motors right, I know what you are talking about when a big cam is set up right, I had a lot of fun with a 400 the bullhaulers couldn,t hang with and couldn't belive it was a cummins.
