    Something you don’t want to see in your oil cooler.

    Any update to this? How is the cooler holding up after the backflush? I did some pretty extensive backflushes this summer that didn't last, so I ended up doing a cooler replacement this fall.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I got my old rig running today for the first time in months. I bought a 6.0 back in May, the IDI doesn't get much attention anymore. Getting her ready to sell. Anyway, truck was gelled up today. It was 10 degrees here today, (8 degrees right now) and the truck had the same fuel in the tanks...

    Safe operating RPMs? 7.3L IDI N/A

    I just punched it into my excel sheet speed calculator. That's 3200 rpm assuming stock tire height and a zf5 with 4.10 rear. I'm surprised. I had mine up to 95 once and don't think I'd want to go any faster than that. Plus she was chiefin pretty good. Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk

    Rusty but Trusty

    Any tips on ripping off the trim? Did you do the whole truck or just the door? And how did it look Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk

    Rusty but Trusty

    So I can get phosphoric acid to stop the rust in those bad areas, but I still need to get that trim stuck back down again. I thought about just some sheetmetal screws, But I feel like that creates more problems than it fixes.

    Rusty but Trusty

    My truck has been great to me the last 4 years I've owned it, but lately the rust has been getting worse and worse. The salt here hasn't been too friendly. Below are some photos showing some of this rust. Most of it is just comsmetic, no big deal, but one bit of rust specifically has become a...

    DIY: Digital Pyrometer Gauge

    What pressure senders are you using? And how affordable are they? I'd like to add one to my wvo controller and have it automatically switch back to diesel if the wvo pressure falls off, but I haven't been done any research yet on pressure senders. Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk

    Running Warm Under Load; Using OEM gauge location vs Overtemp sender for gauge?

    My fan clutch starts to lock up around 200 or 205. I can feel it do so driving around town. When it does, my Temps immediately start dropping and get to around 190 when the fan shuts off. As for running on the highway empty, my truck runs around 210. I definitely think a fan clutch repair...

    DIY: Digital Pyrometer Gauge

    I just now realized it's an OLED, so no color changing, but the blinking and simple bar graph would still be possible. And it's nice and small so the install could be really clean. Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk

    DIY: Digital Pyrometer Gauge

    Thats the same thermocouple amplifier that I use in my wvo controller that I've posted on here. Nice work. I know a lot of people mentioned to me that a visual is sometimes useful as well. Maybe instead of reporting voltage, you could have a bar graph from left to right that visually depicts...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I took my truck and camper to the Upper Peninsula this weekend, a 1000 mile round trip from my neck of the woods. The truck handled it well, and I managed about 15 mpg on wvo over the course of the trip. Pretty dang good. The only downside to the whole ordeal was getting stuck in some wet...
