    Eaton Transmission-7.3idi

    Correct me if I'm wrong. But isn't the only benefit of a 10 over a 8 the addition of low and low-low. Seems that a SAE2 8 speed would be easier to come across than a 10.

    Late model Superduty rear end in old OBD F350 IDI diesel

    You can also steel the ring, pinion, and posi carrier out of a 10.50 and install it in your 10.25 housing. That way you don't have to fuss with swapping out the master cylinder or any potential fabrication.

    OIL PAN MODIFICATION FOR COLD WEATHER STARTING

    Had a buddy that was stationed in Alaska. On his gas chevy the engine pan, tranny pan, and coolant all had heaters on them wired into a single plug and ran on a 10ga cord. I can't remember what wattage/amperage it all supposedly added up to but my understanding is it had to be on the special...

    Starting procedure

    My cold start system is intact, I just 'set the choke' so to speak. One smooth motion to the floor and back off, while the glow plugs burn to let the high idle solenoid catch. I have it set for about 900rpm

    DB offset starter review

    I know, another starter thread. I recently replaced the Mitsubishi style starter on our 94 IDIT with the DB denso offset style starter and I have to say it is a massive improvement, think cranks so fast that it doesn't take much more than a split second to light off (at least down to 20F...

    7.3 IDI Turbo fuel mileage after tuned up?

    Mines a 94 IDIT crew cad LWB with E4OD 4.10's and 32.5's I run 50/50 diesel atf on filter changes and a monthly bottle of diesel extreme. 16-18 on highway running 70mph about 2000rpm. With the banks down pipe you can really feel the power band between 1800 and 2400 rpm so I usually run in that...

    How hot is too hot?

    When you run without a thermostat your temp gauge isn't telling a full story. The unregulated coolant rushing threw the block isn't in contact with the coolant jacket long enough to effectively draw the heat out of the metal so even though you see lower coolant temperatures often times the...

    How hot is too hot?

    The bypass 'delete' does make good sense for a all out performance application and I do believe it has been proven in the gasser V8 world to be effective for such. I however disagree with a total diversion to the radiator for something that gets driven on the road like a normal vehicle would be...

    How hot is too hot?

    Do you have a steam line for your turbo? Totally different animal but I had a GM 6.5 service truck turned up on fuel and boost packing 14,000lbs around for 350,000 miles. On long pulls I'd get gas pockets in the head that would cause the Tstat to close up and REALLY get things cooking. After I...

    7.3 idi exhaust

    I'm running a 4 inch straight pipe kit for a 7.3 PSD with the banks downpipe in place of the PSD down pipe. 2 and a half hours to install, 4 inches is a little big. Buuuut, it was cheaper than 3 1/2 at the time cookoo Sounds great though! Really breathes! :Thumbs Up

    Twin Turbo 7.3 IDI?

    Putting twins in a 80's f600 shouldn't be to hard, you've got allot more room to work with than on an f350. And if you get the cooling stack from f800 that had a Cummins the intercooler and radiator are plenty big to handle 300+ hp

    whats a good intercooler?

    How much did your EGT drop with the e99 intercooler?

    Steering is going to put me in a ditch

    I'll second the redhead box's. I've put dozens on customer trucks with nothing but perfect results. Then ofcourse when I get my own it fails in a week :rotflmao. But the warranty was no questions asked and the one in now feels great with 50,000 of 'normal' truck stuff.
