    If i may ask what did you guy's pay for your truck or 7.3 or 6.9 powered vehicles?

    I paid $750 for my first truck. The prior owner thought the motor was toasted because it was leaking oil allover the place. I replaced the oil line going to the turbo and it fixed the oil leak. Still driving that truck 13 years later Next one I bought sight-un-seen for 300 bucks, I bought...

    Thanks so much for the plans. I plan on using the timer in my truck as a safety to the stock controller I will be putting it inline to the glow plug relay. This way if the stock controller fails it will not take out my glow plugs. I would go full manual push button but this truck gets...

    Engine out; now changing over parts, and thanks for your help

    I finally got the engine out of my f-250. It was a pain in my back side. I could not get the ATS turbo up-pipe off the turbo no matter what I did. I ended up using “towcat” idea of raising the cab of the truck. I put 4x4 blocks under the cab mount and then had room to pull the engine out...

    I am trying to remove the up pipe from the exhaust to turbo, it is a slip fit that has rusted up on me. It has been in for about 200000 mile and 17 years. Thankfully I live in a non-rust belt. I will try pulling the left side exhaust manifold tomorrow to get room to work on the up pipe. If...
