Super low buck filtering
I think I need to invest in/build some kind of fuel heater considering my heater on the feed line tothe filter has been dead since purchase. I have noticed, during the colder months, my truck likes to idle after a cold start for about 20 mins or so for ideal fueling/running conditions. Letting...- ryanecvbrown

yup.mines real slow.
Makes plenty of sense. Seeing as how anemic our factory hp rating are vs a pretty decent torque rating, let the torque do the heavy lifting and the ponies will somewhat follow suit. I get a lot more out of each gear with the 3.55 ratio. I also don't mind winding the engine to the moon when it's...- ryanecvbrown

Super low buck filtering
Nevermind the summer mix question. What about winter? Does 50/50 work in temps below 40 deg Fahrenheit on your rig? My rear tank leaks so I don't have a way to switch to straight diesel (or close enough) for winter starting and shutoff. I hope to have my rear tank swapped by winter but if I...- ryanecvbrown

Super low buck filtering
Great thread! I work as a mech for a garbage company and have no shortage of available WHO. We have a cycler with 5 micron and 1 micron filter heads complete with filter minders, also has a third canister for water separation. It's called the Filtration Station but I can't remember who...- ryanecvbrown

Rear tank sending unit??
Other option, yank out the sender and have it cleaned and have a new tube TIG welded in place if you don't have the ability to TIG it yourself.- ryanecvbrown

My '87 with a slushbox was a pig. Dropped in a ZF and 3" exhaust and she woke up a bit. Had 285's and 4:10's. My '84 has all my goodies from from the '87 except 3.55's spinning 285's. This truck has way more cojones. It seems to me that diesels in general like to "tug" against the gears. At...- ryanecvbrown

So what did you do with your truck today?
After helping a buddy with some issues on his '92 6.9 project, I traded him my dually hubs, 3" rear wheel spacers and my god-awful flat-spotted 37" military MT's on HMMWV 12 bolts for his standard hubs and 285/75r16 BFG AT/KO's on MB Razor 16x8's. Today on the way to work, heard a CLANK and then...- ryanecvbrown

clutch fan time...hayden?
I honestly don't remember, all I know is the parts guy said his computer told him it was the equivalent to OEM spec. OEM my a!! This goes both ways, with some guys getting a perfectly good Hayden right off the shelf with no issues. This would be the second vehicle in 10 years where a Hayden has...- ryanecvbrown

load E 37s for the idi build
X2 on the military MT!!!!!!!!! I'm trading my 37" military MT's for a set of 315/75r16 BFG all terrains this coming Sunday. They won't keep balance for anything and they just plain SUCK in the snow. I've had em down to 3 psi in some rocks last weekend and the sidewalls won't flex and conform to...- ryanecvbrown

Holset H2E on a 6.9????
It is beautiful here. I moved up from Sacramento 15 years ago and never looked back. Sounds like water/**** will be the way to go until I can feed her some more air. It would be worthwhile to leave it installed even after the addition of a turbo. Thanks again for the conversation. It's much...- ryanecvbrown

Holset H2E on a 6.9????
Ok so...water/**** and bump up another half flat or just water/****? I have it bumped a half flat from stock already with a pyro. Is WM gonna cool down my in-cyl temps enough to justify the increase in diesel? As it is I've never had EGT's above 1000 and it's struggle to get my coolant temp over...- ryanecvbrown

Holset H2E on a 6.9????
I understand the principles behind forced induction and if could afford a $500 ATS takeoff I'd run 50 miles to go get it if I had to! Believe me, adding more fuel in any way is not my first choice for a power adder, be it diesel or propane. Not a big fan of NO2 either. I have all of the parts...- ryanecvbrown
