Wrong Color Smoke Loss of Power
Its been a long time since I found myself posting here. I've had this 86 F250 4x4 for probably 16 years. 14 or 15 years ago I pulled the tired 6.9 out and put a good 7.3 in it with an ATS Turbo. Its been a really great truck and I've done a lot of work on it. A few weeks ago I went up to the...- Hybrid455

Speedometer Inaccurate
My speedometer is reading about 10% slow. If it reads 50 your actually going 55. The Speedometer driven gear is a 16 tooth. From what I've been able to research this is a very commonly used gear. It seems to be in all these pick ups. In order to speed the speedometer up I need a smaller tooth...- Hybrid455

G injectors
Ok.... I have read a lot of hoopla about the G turbo injectors. I have also read that the factory IDI turbo was a big disappointment making little to no more horsepower than the non-turbo. If this is correct then what advantage is there to running the G injector? The truck is a 86 4x4 supercab...- Hybrid455

Automatic to ZF and vice versa swap
Ok Hope this makes sense to someone and that they can coroborate my line of thinking or elaborate on any problems with it. First, I have an 85 4x2 F250 supercab that has been converted to a 7.3 IDI with a ZF. The ZF is out of an earlier model F450 and has the big brake drum assembly hanging...- Hybrid455
