    Anyone done a large aux c6 trans cooler?

    The truck I bought had a cooler plumbed in. It was plumbed in series with the radiator. First through the radiator and then into the cooler and back to the trans. Not sure if that helps at all. Swapped to a ZF5 so that is all gone.

    CDR Alternative Poll - Looking for your feedback

    The banks adapter I have on mine fits 1" hose, if that helps at all.

    CDR Alternative Poll - Looking for your feedback

    3 because I am using the second water port on my pump and the other two options would block it

    Shocks for 1991 F350 DRW Rear Wheel Drive Stock Height - Bilstein 5100?

    I had the same issue when looking for 5100s for my truck. When I called they offered to look up shocks based on specs if I measured, for what that is worth. I'm doing super duty axle swaps so I'll likely need to take them up on that.

    buying fittings for the IP from the hardware store?

    Looked at a few return fittings I have, looks like 1/8 npt to me. Can send one out if you need, send me a message.

    '86 Extended cab project thread

    Shouldn't be much at all, if any really. The run is super short, something like an 1/8 of the distance for most air to air intercoolers that folks are successfully using. I'll likely have lower pressures overall by a small margin, like one or two psi, but much denser air. Given it is a 6.9 I...

    Got the intercooler reservoir mounted. Will work on the pump and routing hoses next. 3.4 gallons is overkill but I don't think I'll get heat soak except on perhaps very long drives

    buying fittings for the IP from the hardware store?

    Inlet is an ORB/O ring boss, cannot remember the size, maybe 5/16 or 3/8. Return is a standard 1/4 npt I believe.

    '86 Extended cab project thread

    Finished the oil bypass setup, got the coolant/windshield reservoir mounted, mounted the fuel regulator setup, clocked the turbo and tightened it down, and installed a CCV/CDR adapter on the timing cover to prep for installing the Mann Provent 200. Will work on installing intercooler reservoir...

    6.9 to 7.3 glow plug harness

    I'd get some new connectors and create my own harness connections. Something like a WeatherPak or Delphi or Deutsch connector. Just make sure the pins can handle whatever current you're throwing at it. Here are diagrams for the 6.9 style. If you go to the tech section there are tons of...

    parallel turbos

    Found the thread. I imagine you could compensate for higher fuel pressure by advancing or retarding the IP timing as needed. Just be aware that once you go above 8 psi or so it starts changing the IP timing. So my saying 10 PSI is too high isn't exactly correct, just that things change once...

    parallel turbos

    10 psi is too high and changes the timing of the pump I believe. My R&D pump came calibrated for 7psi. There is a rather large and in-depth thread of PSI and pump timing, I'm phone posting otherwise I'd link it for you.

    parallel turbos

    Might need to run a vent tube to each intake tube, you're only scavenging from half your cylinders otherwise. Most things I read say to run 1", but I imagine you could do 3/4 if you're doubling up. I welded a pipe fitting to the IP cover plate on mine and am running 1" hose, but that is for...

    parallel turbos

    I'd move your crankcase vent to one or both of your intake tubes instead of the end of the air filter. There should be more suction after the filter than before.
