EGT Limit for Banks Sidewinder Temp
Good thing I found this thread...I was just wondering the same thing. Took my fiver out this weekend...about 8500#'s loaded and was hitting 1200° fast and would slow down to 35mph or so to not go over that. I would hold that temp for a couple minutes of so till I was over each pass. It was so...- fiverpuller

Cold air intake...sorta
That's why I said I have to figure out how to trap the oil if I do it. Maybe I could just run the CDR inline on the way to the tube? I know it let a lot of oil in the intake before. I'm not sure what to do...but there is a lot of smoke out the RDT. I was thinking of piping it to the rear...- fiverpuller

Cold air intake...sorta
That's why I need to build shrouds around the filter. To keep it from getting dirty too fast and to isolate any of that hot air from the engine. All I know is it is WAY better than that banks black box intake. :puke: On performance, maintance and a whole lot more. BTW...it was Moose Air...- fiverpuller

Cold air intake...sorta
It might not be getting all cool air but it's much better than the banks black box that only used a 1/3 of the filter. cookoo I still need to build some shrouds around the filter to get max cool air. It looks like EGTs dropped about 100°. And power increased about 20%. Whistling increased...- fiverpuller

banks pyro
Most of the time the gauge and thermocouple are fine and there is just a bad connection between the two. Of the three turbo'd trucks I bought the pyro never worked on any of them. I just cleaned up all the connections and presto all three work now. :D The two connections to check are off the...- fiverpuller

Flex pipe for y?
If you can get some...try it. I don't see why it won't work. We use it on our freightliners when the exhaust goes from the frame to the cab. And I am sure you have seen how much the cab moves around.- fiverpuller

I'm Back>>>Barely
Glad you made it back safe. Propane should help you on those hills. I only hit it when I start losing speed. It either holds or speeds back up. The turbo should also make you smile...once it's hooked up. But even with turbo and propane don't expect miracles. My dad's trailer is about...- fiverpuller

Leaky fuel tanks & JB Weld
Well...the one side went on good and seemed to stick nicely. Then while applying to another pinhole the tank shifted and it started leaking. So I did as instructions said and pressed firmly until leak stopped...it mentioned a reaction with the gas. Except the leak didn't stop and the clay...- fiverpuller

Leaky fuel tanks & JB Weld
Do you think that stuff will stick to a "wet" tank? I have the truck up on ramps right now so the fuel isn't dripping out anymore...but if I wipe it down the area still gets wet after a couple minutes. I just need to it get through the weekend. Then I want to find a 30gal tank where I can...- fiverpuller

"Remote Mounted" turbo
turbo lag "(With the turbo so far back, don't you get a lot of turbo lag?) No, our turbochargers are sized to operate at this remote location. Just like any turbocharger, once the turbo is up to temperature and in the rpm range for which it was designed to operate. The boost comes on hard and...- fiverpuller

Head is off...what to inspect?
I guess I figured a visual inspection would be easier. I have seen some cavitation holes before that only leaked under pressure. But this engine drank 2 gallons of coolant in about an hour...while parked...with radiator cap off...so I figured it would be obvious! The water level dropped to...- fiverpuller

Head is off...what to inspect?
I finally got the drivers side head off on the 7.3 engine from my '92. I am looking for a blown head gasket. It was drinking coolant and had a bad miss. Though all my issues may be from cavitation I haven't got that far yet. Would it be obvious where coolant was getting in the cylinder from...- fiverpuller

y-pipes
Maybe you can try some flex pipe? I am not sure where you can get 2.5" but we use big stuff on our freightliners. Put it on and see what kind of boost and egt's you get. Everything could be just fine.- fiverpuller
