    My new turbo intake

    Thanks guys, yes, I wish I could have placed it farther out twords the front, but that spot was literally the ONLY spot. If I got rid of my ac, I could continue it further foreward and out, but I like the A/c and there is a hard line directly in front of it. On the pass side I have the plow pump...

    My new turbo intake

    Figured some of you would get a kick from it. I used a 4" U-bend and a 4" 45, and a summit cone filter. Seems to work pretty good, got rid of that horrible box and flat filter setup, and the turbo is much louder now!

    zf-5 speed limitations?

    The ZF-5 is know to be a very strong transmission. I agree that the transmission mount is a weak area, but overall a very bulletproof box

    Motivation dwindling on would be project!!!

    many have 30K new trucks, anyone can walk in and buy one. This would be YOUR truck, the way you want it, and IMO would be much cooler

    Factory ATS turbo upgrade

    huh. wonder if it would be actually worth it to change just the housing? Instead of a larger turbo. Not bad if it would guive some noiticable power, but isnt any more than 10-12 psi pushing the limits?

    How many oil cooler o-rings?

    I went through the same thing. Just buy the correct o-rings from ford, and you will most likely never have to touch the oil cooler again

    Am I Impatient or is it More?

    I always liked my stock lift pump for simplicity and never planned to change it...untill I installed an electric last night and bled the fuel system by turning on the key....never again will i run a mechanical pump!

    Am I Impatient or is it More?

    I just went through this last night with my truck. Took off the hard line on the filter and found the lift pump had died. Replaced it with an electric pump, then had my shower cap fall off in the tank, replaced it with a 3"~ long length of 3/8 tubing, THEN had an air leak in the supply and...

    Could the Fuel filter light signal a bad lift pump?

    Whell I went ahead and installed an electric pump today. WOW! It is so nice to be able to turn on the key and just hold the schrader valve open on the fuel filter to prime the system! It also got rid of my blinking fuel filter light! Still wont pull fuel from my front tank though......

    Could the Fuel filter light signal a bad lift pump?

    I had the fuel filter light on my truck blinking at idle, when I rev the truck up it would shut off. I changed my filter, and it seems to be doing the same thing after a few days....I cant believe that the new fram I installed would be clogged allready, as ive been running pump diesel....would a...

    Is it possible to hook up the fuel tank selector valve backwards?

    I installed a new 19g front tank today, and after filling it up half way, driving home it seemed to work for a while, then after a few miles ran out of fuel. Before the tank change the selector valve worked fine! I had disconnected the fuel lines at the valve to drop the tank, and I am wondering...

    Brake pedal sank to the floor!!! then was fine?

    I got in my truck this morning, hit the brakes, and the pedal went to the floor! I thought I had blown another brake line.... I hit the brakes again and it was perfect, and has been perfect all day? What is going on here? Also, it seemed to be an issue with the rear brakes. So, Im thinking RABS...

    What trucks came with dana 60 front and rear stock?

    I was reading up on the sterling axles on pirate, and they seem to be damn strong. Many people use them on rock crawler rigs, and say they are as strong or stronger than a dana 70 rear
