A long standing member of the IDI diesel group just posted a couple very important bits of information for anyone that has a ZF-5. Especially if you replace the inner shift boot you are going to want to read this!



SHORT BED 4-DOOR DIESEL: 1986 F350 4x4 under construction-- 7.3 IDIT ZF5+GVOD

STRAIGHT SIX 4X4: 1981 F150 2wd to 4x4-- 300 I6 close ratio diesel T19, hydroboost brakes, Saginaw steering

BIG F: 1995 F-Superduty under construction— converting to 6.9L IDI diesel ZF5+DNE2

I'm assuming the pro that built mine changed the roll pins, but I'll have to check on the vent.  Thanks!
