    Towing with the new 19.5’s *pics*

    Yesterday was first tow with them. Vision wheels heavy hauler 81 with 225/70r19.5. Wish I would’ve done this to all my trucks. With balance beads they’re smooth and stability is so much better towing.

    Super clean 7.3 at San Bernardino pick a part *pics

    was there yesterday getting some superduty stuff and seen this. The dash was gone but it looked very very low mileage. Had some B.B. injectors and even the water passage was just very light surface rust.

    19.5’s on one ton

    anyone done it? I got my new wheels yesterday in 19.5, seeing if anyone recommends the 225/70 or 245/70? I’m leaning towards 225 for stock size and best gearing

    Any guesstimate on weight?

    i moved this load only 15 miles but I completely underestimated the weight. Of rubber. Each roll is solid rubber sheets. One pallet on the front of my trailer completely reverse arched my leaf springs. Once I had everything on even all 8 trailer tires were bulging quite a bit. I’m going to weigh...

    Why you should only centrifuge wmo

    i wanted to provide a visual representation. When I first started I was using Donaldson 5 micron absolute spin on filters and thinking I was ok. I then ran a filtered batch through a centrifuge and immediately bought one. Tonight I added a second fuge to my processing drum but I wanted to show...

    New trailer for the seven three!

    just picked it up last night, going to use it with my truck to get my class A and get into bigger paying jobs. 31+5 with a liftable dovetail center to make a full flat deck. No other trailer I looked at had this feature.

    7.3 weird running symptoms

    i bought a 2003 e350 at auction. When cold it idles ruff like it’s down a couple cylinders. Won’t build any boost either. Once the engine is fully warmed up it’ll run 100% better but I still feel it might be down one hole as it’ll only build 6-7psi

    Sad to say some goodbyes

    as some of you know I posted the beloved idi for sale. It’s been the best vehicle I own but for work I needed more. I wanted to say thanks to this forum sub section but I will gladly remain just now over in the powerstroke section. If anyone needs a great truck I’d love to sell it to a fellow...

    Idi vs powerstroke?

    im considering selling my f350 idi. It has the banks sidewinder kit 7.3 and runs great. But I just need a bit more power. For anyone that’s owned both how would you say the powerstroke runs in comparison?

    I purchased an e450 missing the pcm. I have a spare at Home can I throw it in to start it or does the vin need to be flashed to it?

    Timing degree setting

    ive been on this forum and read multiple threads but just want to verify as I found a mechanic local that is going to time my truck. Stated he worked back in the day for international and asked if I knew the specs. I told him around 8-9 he kind of got startled and said it should be around 3, can...

    Gearing Change major difference

    im not affiliated with hem but frenchlakeautoparts on eBay supplies me with a 75k mile 4:10 limited slip rearend for cheap. Everyone else was around8-900 I paid 320 shipped complete from drum to drum. I mainly wanted to say that going from 3:55 to the 4:10 really makes this turbo 7.3 shine. It...

    How much timing do you guess I added?

    i know this isn’t the right way but with my new ip I set it and it was very retarded. I had to Hotwire the cold idle advance just to get the white smoke to stop bellowing. I adjusted it today. Do you think this is a safe amount? Before with it set off cold idle it smoked white at idle, giving it...

    Fell in love all over again. No more new Truck thoughts!

    since I bought my idi it was pretty weak. Had a brand new motor from ford dropped in only 48k miles before I bought it but had the 200k mile injectors and ip on it. Since purchased I always had to use water to start it on the ip. I tow heavy often and with 3:55’s and weak fuel it was a dog even...

    Bad timing cause overheating?

    if you read I replaced my ip, injectors, and returns last night. Truck runs great but I just set the timing by the mark. I know it’s off as I get a bit of white smoke at idle. But my concern is now going up a hill when I am giving it some juice I notice my coolant temps start to climb instantly...

    New ip now white smoke

    Hey guys I put new injectors, turbo ip, return lines and hoses on last night. Today I went to drive it and it runs great but I’m getting quite a bit of white smoke at idle. I set my ip just a hair advanced from the marks ( I know that doesn’t mean anything) but I’m hoping just the smoke is...

    Injector pics 10k miles wmo

    finally decided to swap my injection pump. It’s been dead for the last 20k miles or so I have to water it to start every day when hot. While in there I decided to do the return lines and injectors. I must say I’m quite surprised how clean everything is for running waste motor oil. I start cold...
