You are welcome. I have seen tidbits of information here and there on this site about turbos and intercoolers. However, I have never seen a full description of actual physical changes with how they work on the engine so i thought i would take the time to correct the information along with a...
I'm going to throw in my two cents here and sorry if i step on anyone's toes as that is not my intent. I see either an incomplete or misconception of knowledge here that i'll explain with my theoretical and working practical knowledge of mechanics and engineering.
A turbo will increase the...
One of my friends used to be a car accessory installer. He installed a loud, high pitched car alarm in the vent system in the dash behind the steering wheel. Anyone who steals his truck will have hearing problems for several days.
I just overhauled my rear sterling 10.25 axle with timkin and the differential kit i got were all stamped made in usa. Might want to look at usa standard gear at www.rockauto.com. Last I checked they were all stamped made in usa. I have a front differential bearing kit from them waiting to be...
A turbo will help ALOT in reducing the black smoke. I did the banks turbo install myself about seven months after I bought my truck. My truck had 180k miles on it since the last rebuild. How many miles before the rebuild i don't know and neither did the friend i bought the truck from. Most...
Also I want to throw in that if you are towing heavy loads with an older turbo truck like mine you have to think like a trucker. You do not go into a hill at normal speed then floor it, this will cause the turbo lag and billowing of black smoke. Often when going into a hill I will slow the...
I'll throw in some experience with my truck.
I did a minor overhaul on my truck two years ago after i moved 2000 miles. I moved from Bremerton Washington to Muscatine Iowa. During the trip i had over heating issues. Mostly the engine running hot and from time to time bouncing the egt's off...
I had a shop clean the cooling system and it didn't do sh*t. Had overheating problems when i moved 2000 miles as well as e40d problems. The temps i was seeing was anywhere from 220 to 235. By 235 degrees i layed off the throttle but i was going through mountainous areas. Couple months after...
I have done a good chunk of research to school myself up on the 10.25 axles but here is my situation. The rear axle under my truck has failed, not to the point of catastrophic failure yet. The rear axle is a sterling 10.25 first generation (the one with the short pinion and yoke). The failure...
I'm new to posting on this site. I have navigated probably hundreds of different threads on this site for information on my truck. This place site seems to be the only one with people who actually knows what they are talking about when it comes to my 7.3 idi. Would appreciate any help on...
