    Let’s talk about egts and water temp

    So I have a pretty well documented issue with water temps. While waiting to get my freeze plug issue resolved I’ve been kicking around a few things in my head. One of them is EGTs. Running a 110 from CDD and with my setup I can manage EGTs pretty well I think. In 4th gear climbing grade, I can...

    ISO freeze plug install tool

    Need a freeze plug tool. It’s the drivers side plug behind the trans. Rather do this right instead of having to do it again. Willing to buy or rent. Thanks!

    Coolant Leak

    So I have developed a coolant leak. I am not 100% sure yet but I think it’s coming from the bellhousing area as it’s dripping on the crossover pipe. It’s a small leak. Leaves a spot on the floor after a couple days. I rolled my spare engine out and the only thing I can see that could cause a...

    How hot is too hot?

    Alright. It’s been pretty well documented that I’ve been struggling with water temp issues on my truck to the point that I did this. I took my first trip today loaded down through the mountains and I think it was a mixed bag. I’ve got plenty of fuel now. Truck runs good. It just runs really...

    Regulator on the return side???

    Okay. I’m going toss this out there. I know there’s been a lot of hate on the Facet pumps of late. I totally understand why. Not trying to debate the merits of the different pumps. We’ve beat that horse to death 50 different ways. The fundamental problem is not enough flow. To maintain steady...

    Super cab seat options

    Guys, I’m looking for measurements on some super cab seats. The youngun is going to be big enough to ditch the booster in the next year or so and I’d like to swap from the standard old low back seat to something more modern that’s a bit taller and has a head rest. The front seats are 2010 ish...

    Clutches

    I’m not a Cummins guy so much but my brother is. He recently deleted and put a tuner on his 2007 6.7 which is now blowing through the clutch on tow mode. Recommendations for an upgraded clutch setup? Thanks!

    I’ve got a tick...

    So I’ve been driving the truck to work the last couple days. At 100 miles a day you start paying attention to all the noises and rattles. For a little while I’ve noticed what I’ll call a tick that seems to reside on the pass side of the engine. It’s definitely engine related. Tracks with rpm...

    Thoughts on single piece driveline on extended cab...

    So as I thought I was about to wrap rally prep on the truck tonight I found something troubling. So here’s the deal. The drive shaft is pulled backward stretching the carrier bearing instead of slipping at the slip yoke. It’s a brand new slip yoke but I had a hell of a time putting it...

    Borgesson Steering Shaft... Just Do IT!!!!

    Holy crap. Changed the worn steering shaft out of my truck. Borgesson 980 is the replacement. Cut to size and paint it up. Truck drives like new now with the Red Head steering gear and all fresh steering parts. Totally recommend. It took the last slop out of the system.

    Carrier/facet pump observations

    So I’ve seen a lot of discussion around the carrier/facet lift pumps lately. I thought I’d share my experience. I plumbed in a fuel pressure gauge not long ago and finally got a chance to work the truck today. My pump is the 9-11 psi flavor (PN4022 I think). It’s on the pass fenderwell. Fuel...

    Hood insulation

    I’m poking around finishing some stuff up on the truck and one thing I’d really like to do is cut a few more decibels off if I can. It’s not horrible but after a couple hours it can get to you. First rally trip I didn’t even have the radio to drown it out at all. LOL I never put the hood...

    FS 6.0 fan and clutch

    Ordered a 6.4 fan and clutch and seller screwed up. I didn’t figure it out in time to return it. I have not tried it but it seems complete and in tact. It is used. $100 OBO plus shipping.

    10.25 LSD rebuild

    Contemplating rebuilding the LS in Big Red. I know it’s worn out. Might as well be an open diff. I looked up a couple threads. It seems very similar to the 8.8 I did in my half ton a few years back less the bastard spring clip that damn near killed me when it flew out. No c clips because it’s...

    Motorcraft fan clutches from rock auto

    Anyone else who bought a motorcraft fan clutch from rock auto having cooling issues? I’ve never heard what I’ve been told I should hear when the fan locks up and I’ve had water temps over 230. Talking to @tjsea the other day he mentioned that his truck got warm on him and that’s where his came...

    85 crew cab dually

    Looks like a really clean truck. Claims it needs motor put back in but if the body and interior are as good as they look, personally I think it’s a buy as is if you are looking. Check out what I found on Facebook Marketplace.https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2184604638450528/
