    Which ts chip, or am i overthinking?

    I have a 97 powerstroke, srw, 4x4 originally automatic. I swapped to a zf5 and absolutely love it. But was wondering which chip I should order being I swapped auto for manual, and left the auto pcm and wiring alone on the truck. When ordering, it asks auto or manual. Not sure it makes a...

    Zf5 swap, im sure this has been beaten to death, but...

    97 powerstroke, e4od, cclb, 4x4, d60. Intent is to swap the powerstroke to manual. Snagged a 4x4 zf5 from one of my part wagon 7.3 idi's. I dropped the e4od from my powerstroke, pulled the flex plate, and found a spacer plate between the crank and flex plate. I need this for my swap to zf5? A...

    1993 6.5 turbo diesel

    I have a running 6.5 diesel just pulled from a junk frame. Turbo is a bit sloppy and needs a cdr but engine is healthy. Was bought for a swap into my 88 3\4 ton suburban, but due to the accident in said suburban that left it completely totaled I have nothing to put it in. Paid 200. Hopefully get...

    Dumb question

    Currently rebuilding a 1993 idit block. I have found deep scarring on the crankshaft rod throws. Dumb question being, I have a crank for an na block in great shape. Can I use it in the idit? Or is there some balancing issues other than the harmonic balancer?

    My dumba$$

    I have done some really dumb things in the past, and apparently I still do! I rebuilt my engine and spent a pretty penny doing so. New pistons, as 5 of 8 have been cracked for some time now(and still daily driven for past three years) new rings, new mains, new connecting rods bearings and...

    Rebuilt block

    Not sure sure what this sound is. But it's horrible. Can't tell if it's lower end ( reason for rebuild in first place although sounded worse wen i pulled it) or fuel. What y'all guys think?

    Odd braking

    Ok so my brakes work awesome. Touchy rather. But when I touch the brake pedal the pedal will stay or suck to the floor and continue to slow or stop the truck after I remove my foot. Typically have to pull it back up after use and it feels like I'm pulling the pedal against vaccume so that I can...

    D 60 swap

    I am about to start pulling a d60 off of a 90 cc dually in my yard with 3.55s for my 91 super cab 2wd f250 srw. What all do I need to do to make this mod work without the dually rims up front? Frame mods, etc?

    CDD 110 pump.

    So I just got my pump from Wes at Classic Diesel Designs yesterday and on the trip home lost all power. May have had something to do with the 17 degree advance and the fact that it was all over the place not holding any type of timing while Wes was trying to get a timing read on it. So good...

    Underhood temps.

    I have an 88 TBI 350 4x4 2500 suburban mainly stock. Only thing not stock is the true dual 2 3/4 exhaust from stock headers to tailpipe and wells mufflers and the breather has two air pipes instead of just one. Never overheats or gives me any problems but I've had about 4 of these trucks prior...
