Project WA5MOE 91 F250 4x4 IDIT Build
Fed ex finally got us our rings, and back together the bottom end goes, even with 300k+ miles and a ball hone ring gap was on the bottom of the spec, .015” on the top compression rings and .060” on the second. Refreshed heads and studs installed along with the cam and lifters. Ended up using a...- Thewespaul

Antarctic IDI Build
The front frame boxing is the rsk extension to run the excursion springs in the front, the rear of the frame has some additional Chanel riveted to the main frame for support, could be a cab chassis thing or something Ford did because of the lift that they put on the truck for use in Antarctica.- Thewespaul

Failed 26 year old original db2, what’s inside? What goes wrong?
Which o ring? The advance piston bore seals off the housing to piston fit, no o ring or seal since its under load from the injection cycles on the cam ring.- Thewespaul

When you swap the problematic pump you should pull the 1" advance bore plug out of the passenger side of the pump, remove the cam pin plug on the bottom of the advance bore (1/4" allen), pull the cam pin out and pop the advance piston out the passenger side and inspect it for damage, sounds just...- Thewespaul

Antarctic IDI Build
Went through the rotten cab mounts with an energy suspension kit, picked up a good inch of firewall clearance over the turbo and no longer have vibration from the downpipe rubbing the cab when backing the ambo, might have room for a bigger turbo now... Cab doesn’t have nearly as much...- Thewespaul

Antarctic IDI Build
Got my 225amp 3g kit installed, totally different truck now. Had to turn the regulator down with the fuel pump putting out more volume at the higher running voltage, batteries crank the truck much quicker now that they’re being fully charged to 14.7v, and with all the light and sirens on the...- Thewespaul

So what did you do with your truck today?
Goals for 2021, I want to see all my customer projects completed, I would like to see one of my db2s make a four digit hp number on the dyno, and I would like to see my truck back on the road.- Thewespaul

I’m a believer in, if it ain’t broke don’t try to fix it, but if you’ve noticed a drop in mpgs when you previously saw better numbers you’re probably loosing some of your advance curve and not making as efficient power at part throttle. If it gets bad enough and you travel a lot it may warrant a...- Thewespaul

Yes, and the adjustment is good for hot pumps where daily driving with 400+cc is not warranted, but needed when the Cummins bros need a lesson.- Thewespaul
