    I have no fuel pressure?!?!

    Truck runs and gets me from a to b but I have never checked fuel pressure since installing this pump 2 years ago. It doesn't seem like it has ever had a starvation issue but it definitely isn't a powerhouse. The switch I removed never worked because the connector is missing. I ordered a...

    I have no fuel pressure?!?!

    So I have a 1992 7.3 idi N/A and I removed the fuel filter vacuum sensor and installed an oil filled 0-15psi guage. I have a racor electric fuel pump and with key on engine of I have 6 psi of fuel pressure. With engine idling I have 0 psi. Is the port for the vacuum guage a good spot to to...

    ZF5 oil cooler and filter idea

    I saw the fast coolers and that's what sparked my thinking. But I guess now that I think about it, it is a little overkill. I've had some pretty metallic fluid come out but like he said if somethings shedding that much flake it's probably on its way out

    ZF5 oil cooler and filter idea

    Basically what I'm thinking is take my pto cover off and weld two nipples for hoses on it one for supply and one for return. then take a 12v pump and use it to circulate transmission fluid through a filter then through my new aluminum radiators transmission cooler that's just going to waste then...

    My bypass oil filter

    The supply line is on a boss cast in the engine between the stock oil filter and transmission. It is the turbo oil supply port if you have one. And I thought about the filler neck but I didn't want a hose strung out across my engine bay.

    My bypass oil filter

    IT is an additional oil filter that filters out particles the full flow filter can't. It has a more efficient beta ratio/micron rating

    My bypass oil filter

    Another bit of info I will post on here I hope someone finds useful. I found a post on one of these forums by a guy named woodnthings and followed it. Its the same Baldwin b50 filter base and Napa's version of a b50 filter with built in restricting orifice. The only thing I did different was I...

    25$ n/a performance exhaust

    To those interested here is how my exhaust is set up. It cost me 25$ for the y pipe and about a half a days work. I was able to use pieces of the factory collector to make this work. I bought absolutely nothing else but the y pipe. I did not have to remove the transmission for the original...

    Why is my timing so retarded?

    Just an update for those wondering. I received the timing meter yesterday the kit was very neat and organized with everything you need including the wrench and pump rotating tool. It was worth every penny to rent!! I found out @2000rpm my timing was at 3.5° so the top marks on the pump that...

    Why is my timing so retarded?

    I plan on seeing what it is first. Then turn the fuel up slightly and adjust the timing so it runs clean with the added fuel.
