    Water Injection Really?

    I currently have 'Devils own' injection system on my truck. Right after I installed it I started messing with the system with the different jets that come with the kit. I have to say/warn about messing with the water to meth ratio. I will never do more than the 0 degree washer fluid. I was...

    Radios?

    I have a Cobra 200. It is peaked and tuned with the CB channels added. I had to mount it to the little dimple on the hump on the passenger side because it is so big and I drive a stick. I would like to mount it to the roof but it is very heavy because it has the heat fins on the back of it. I...

    questions about my new motor

    Well the search is finally over. I found a 7.3 motor for $300. It is out of an 88' f-250. I have a 93 f-350. I have the serpintene belt on my old one. Will all my old stuff bolt right up to my new motor? Also what other stuff is different an can I change it to be more like the old 93' one that I...

    converting to a duallie

    It all depends on what you are going for. Are you wanting the look or the dually benifets. Spacers will give you the look but may cause other problems. I say if you are gonna do it, do it right. Having a dually has its down-falls. Buying six tires sucks compared to buying four. Rocks can get...

    I have a question!

    Ok here is my new question (sort of). I took a better look at my 7.3 that was in my truck. Two pistons are bad on it. The rest are fine. Would I be able to replace the two pistons and put it back together? I was thinking I could re-hone the cylinders and I think it would be fine. What do you...

    I have a question!

    That sound like it would be a great motor. The only problem is I don't have $2500. :dunnoIf I sold my car then It wouldn't be a problem. I can't sell it until I get my truck running again. That is why I need a motor on the cheeper side. Or if someone got my truck up and running again I would...

    I have a question!

    Well that explains why the turbo thing may not be the best idea. I think I will have to try the salvage yards again. They had some about a month ago but they didn't look all that good.

    I have a question!

    I think I know where I could get a 6.9 on the cheep maybe free. It has sat for a while and there is slight surface rust in one of the cylinders but no pitting. I heard that if you turbo a 6.9 you will destroy it. I don't see why it would be any different than a 7.3. As long as you don't over do...

    I have a question!

    That motor used to be 1200 (or something close to that) for turbo and motor. I e-mailed him a while back and he responded. I asked if he would sell just the motor and he said that he would. I never heard from him again. I was ready to buy it but I guess he didn't want to. I wish he would have...

    I have a question!

    Thanks OLDBULL8. I have the banks sidewinder turbo kit so I don't have to have one with a turbo. How many PSI does a stock turbo kit make? I made 8psi or so.

    I have a question!

    I didn't think to check that. Yeah it is in Northern California. I don't mind little road trips sometimes (not cross country though). Should I get a truck that runs and pull the motor or go with just the motor?

    I have a question!

    I didn't think of holes in the cylinder wall. I saw it on craigslist. It also comes with a 5 speed and a t-case. I don't need those just the block with the main internals. I am starting to get the itch of getting my truck up and running. Can anyone think of a good place to get a motor?

    I have a question!

    First, I haven't been on here for a while cuz my truck has been on the back burner. But I am back in action (sort of) now. A while ago I broke my 7.3 motor. It couldn't be rebuilt. I found a 88 7.3 diesel with blown head gaskets for 750 cash. Do you think it would be worth it? What are the...

    Wiring Aux Lights and Accessories

    I have a brush bar on the front of mine so that made things easy. I had some small driving lights that I was able to hide in the grill. They do make some nice grills that those should fit nice. But other than that I don't know.

    Wiring Aux Lights and Accessories

    The little black cube thing that came with the kit is what he was talking about. Just remember the lights are only as good as the conections.

    Wiring Aux Lights and Accessories

    If you bought the kit new then it should come with a cube relay. I is what it sounds, a cube with a mounting tab. It takes the power from the power source and allows it to go to the lights without going through the swich. All the swich does is closes the circuit to turn the lights on (uses a low...

    Just for kicks today, I weighed my truck

    I have the standard brake booster for the F-350. I don't have the one that connects to the power steering pump. I always put the premium brake pads on. I figure stopping is just as important as going.

    Wiring Aux Lights and Accessories

    I forgot to awnser your other question. I found the wire (forgot wich color) and jumped them with the rest of my dash lights. That way they dim with all the other ones. I will try to dig out my book and find out which wire.

    Wiring Aux Lights and Accessories

    I put the Hella 550 lights (the rectangle ones) on my brush guard on my truck. What I did was run the lights through a relay and ran the switch to the cab. I went through an existing gromet in my frewall on the driver side. I think I had to pull the carpet back a bit to see and get to the wire...

    Just for kicks today, I weighed my truck

    mine was 7700lbs. That is with hauling nothing except for the crap I always have in my tool box. But I do have a DRW crew cab! The funniest thing is if I slam on my breaks it will try to throw you through the windshield.

    Broke truck

    I was thinking the same thing. I figured that the valves were staying open and was pushing the oil into the intake. I think the oil is just coming out from my intake system somewhere but I don't know for sure. Or I may have streached a head bolt with the extra compression, I just don't know for...

    Broke truck

    Well what happened was I have water/meth injection, I was running 75% meth and 25% water. I got on the throttle and sprayed. When I went to stop the after that it was idiling rough. It was down on power also. I thought it was just a bad injector. Later, before I went home I was showing off (for...
