    Fuel Additives

    Hey I can not say enough about the advice I got on fuel additives for my 7.3. Made a huge difference! I never used that stuff before, on anything, I thought it was a bunch of bunk. I was so impressed with it, I put it in my 6.5 turbo GMC, which was running fine as far as I was...

    Turbo Question!

    C6 DOMINATOR and Gear Vendors Hey Guys thanks for all the imput once again. This has been nuts! I been doing a little homework myself. Called performance transmissions about the C6 dominator which they recommend highly for towing. Its all beefed up with my pick of stall speeds 1800 to...

    E4OD Tansplant

    The Truth. Sometimes a guy needs to be reminded of that. I am like everybody else....trying to live life on a budget. But an extra 500 bucks now to get the heavy duty tranny will make the difference in the long run. And and extra 500 bucks is not going to make a difference 6 months from now...

    E4OD Tansplant

    Thanks again. Shoot, I knew it was to good to be true. Trying to keep the cost down but I don't want "no stinkin gassers". I can get a regular E4OD for under one thousand. But I can't touch an E4OD new or rebuilt for under 1400. I think I need the extra beef for this rig if I were to do...

    E4OD Tansplant

    Heavy Duty AOD Tranny Another option I found for a better price is a Heavy Duty AOD rebuild. These trannies do not require all the electronics, (and the things that go wrong with them). As like the simplicity of the 7.3L idi for that reason. Me GMC 6.5 si controlled by electronics and...

    Turbo Question!

    You guys are great! and this Forum is awesome! You guys are great. This forum is really making my project and life easier. If the E4OD will hook up behind my 7.3 idi, some local trans specialist will be able to do it. And that really sounds like a good route. I have a allison on my...

    Turbo Question!

    ZF 5speed, and EPA anti diesel retoric Well after a quick search I did find a recondition "Heavy Duty" ZF 5 speed Ford Tranny for a decent price. I wonder how a manual trans would do? And then I caught the headline new that the EPA has flunked 20 states on clean air violations due to...

    Turbo Question!

    RV Tranny? An RV tranny search might be a good start....theres got to be plenty of those out there from 1994. Maybe a good transmission dealer or a search engine attempt will bring up some info. I live west of Minneapolis and theres plenty of commercial truck engine and tranny shops...

    Turbo Question!

    Better Tranny I can't believe Ford doesn't have a 4 speed od tranny for that year and a 7.3L. That engine is used in so many applications. There got to be one for towing and highway use that can comfortably get me up to an all day 70 mph range....? Billy:confused:

    Turbo Question!

    Shuttle Bus project Its a C6 Trans no OD. But an OD wouldn't do any good towing anyway I suppose. It would be great to have one more gear to go to. I think I'll have to change that rearend.....? Got to get the motor right first, I hope the injectors do the trick, but I have been...

    Turbo Question!

    Turbo Question I have my foot duct taped to the floor board and I could just get 65 miles an hour. I am hoping I can get the motor up to par to do better than that. With the tips on sea foam and fuel conditioner, filters and such that I got off the forum, I was able to increase power...

    94 7.3l idi non turbo SHUTTLE BUS project

    7.3 Shuttle Bus project I will be using for both my business (motorcycles) and to have fun. Those shuttle buses don't look like much when they are painted white, but paint them black, with tinted windows and stainless rim covers and they look presidential. It will make a great advertising...
