Post Turtle!
what do you guys think? im gettin this for an even up swap for my wifes 99 grand am...
1988 F250 Diesel 7.3 liter navstar , 5 speed , PT 4wd, Bosh transfer case?, Dana 50 IFS front axle, Sterling 10.25 rear(3:55 gearing)... 87k miles
Banks Sidewinder Turbo Kit installed at 59k miles, Flowmaster muffler 76k miles ( +/- 275 hp/ 575 ft lbs)
Starter, flywheel, clutch replaced at about 65k miles
Rotors, drums, brakes, calipers, wheel cylinders, front wheel bearings, lock out hubs, batteries, glow plug controller, glow plugs and fluids replaced at 70k
Axles have synthetic gear oil in them, with an additive in the rear for the posi lock
Coolant system flushed, new anitifreeze and anti cavitation addiitive, plus modified fan clutch installed at 75k
New Stanadine injectors and fuel return hoses, and new fuel pump installed at 84k
New tires on front at 83k, back tires have about 15 k on them
Miscellaneous work... new mid ship fuel tank, few u-joints, front axle bearings, R-134 conversion and condenser/ heat coil clean out, new (improved)connector and headlight switch, power steering pump, a few sections of brake line.
The truck has Bronco bucket seats, and a factory plug-in block heater
You can turn up the fuel pump for better performance( do 1/4 turns at a time), however it will increase the amount of unburnt fuel and turbo heat...but don't run the pyrometer above 1000* for long, it can melt the pistons. Fuel Injection Services installed the turbo kit and were the last ones to touch the fuel adjustment. Ideally you want it where it is set, little black smoke and no white.
Hope this is usefull, if you have any questions just ask.
that was a cut past email i got from the guy. the t-case is probably a BW unit 1356 or something similar...
