    Water Injection Really?

    I currently have 'Devils own' injection system on my truck. Right after I installed it I started messing with the system with the different jets that come with the kit. I have to say/warn about messing with the water to **** ratio. I will never do more than the 0 degree washer fluid. I was...

    Radios?

    I have a Cobra 200. It is peaked and tuned with the CB channels added. I had to mount it to the little dimple on the hump on the passenger side because it is so big and I drive a stick. I would like to mount it to the roof but it is very heavy because it has the heat fins on the back of it. I...

    Belt blowing off

    I had the same problem a few months ago. I also have the 93 with the same belt. my tensioner pulley was the external spring type. I couldnt tighten it enough otherwise it wouldnt move, I couldn't have it where it could move cause it would slip off the front. It aint cheep but I recomend...

    questions about my new motor

    Well the search is finally over. I found a 7.3 motor for $300. It is out of an 88' f-250. I have a 93 f-350. I have the serpintene belt on my old one. Will all my old stuff bolt right up to my new motor? Also what other stuff is different an can I change it to be more like the old 93' one that I...

    converting to a duallie

    It all depends on what you are going for. Are you wanting the look or the dually benifets. Spacers will give you the look but may cause other problems. I say if you are gonna do it, do it right. Having a dually has its down-falls. Buying six tires sucks compared to buying four. Rocks can get...

    I have a question!

    Ok here is my new question (sort of). I took a better look at my 7.3 that was in my truck. Two pistons are bad on it. The rest are fine. Would I be able to replace the two pistons and put it back together? I was thinking I could re-hone the cylinders and I think it would be fine. What do you...

    I have a question!

    That sound like it would be a great motor. The only problem is I don't have $2500. :dunnoIf I sold my car then It wouldn't be a problem. I can't sell it until I get my truck running again. That is why I need a motor on the cheeper side. Or if someone got my truck up and running again I would...

    I have a question!

    Well that explains why the turbo thing may not be the best idea. I think I will have to try the salvage yards again. They had some about a month ago but they didn't look all that good.

    I have a question!

    I think I know where I could get a 6.9 on the cheep maybe free. It has sat for a while and there is slight surface rust in one of the cylinders but no pitting. I heard that if you turbo a 6.9 you will destroy it. I don't see why it would be any different than a 7.3. As long as you don't over do...

    I have a question!

    That motor used to be 1200 (or something close to that) for turbo and motor. I e-mailed him a while back and he responded. I asked if he would sell just the motor and he said that he would. I never heard from him again. I was ready to buy it but I guess he didn't want to. I wish he would have...

    I have a question!

    Thanks OLDBULL8. I have the banks sidewinder turbo kit so I don't have to have one with a turbo. How many PSI does a stock turbo kit make? I made 8psi or so.

    I have a question!

    I didn't think to check that. Yeah it is in Northern California. I don't mind little road trips sometimes (not cross country though). Should I get a truck that runs and pull the motor or go with just the motor?

    I have a question!

    I didn't think of holes in the cylinder wall. I saw it on craigslist. It also comes with a 5 speed and a t-case. I don't need those just the block with the main internals. I am starting to get the itch of getting my truck up and running. Can anyone think of a good place to get a motor?
