    87 6.9L to 94 7.3L Turbo swap

    Hey Gary and dgr. Thanks for your help! Doesn't look to hard to wire in that alternator like I had thought it might. No I don't think it has the check valve and spring. I found a spare pump that was in my pile of parts with the fitting in tact. I'll get the check valve and spring from...

    Dial Bore Gage

    bike-maker thanks for the information. I have a micrometer on loan too that was calibrated or checked for accuracy. But no standard or something called "measuring rings". So cylinder wear will max out the measuring range of the gage? But there is a way to take individual measurements? It...

    Diesel exhaust... here is some information on the health effects. The science goes back and forth but given the choice I'd prefer clean air.
