Facet Filter Reminder
I have the facets pump with the clear filter like others. For years I've been running it including running the tank dry on a few occations. Was surprised the filter bowl remained clear. Finally decided to change my fuel filter and opened this up at the same time. It had a lot of sediment...- OB_WAN

Where to find 93-94 IDI Turbo LH Valve cover?
What you're talking about is a Road Draft Tube(RDT). hmm, I'm not exactly sold on that solution. A lot of setups have it pumping gases under the vehicle and I'm guessing a lot of IDIs are like mine which means there's a ton of smoke pumping out of the RDT. Which in turn evacuates in to my...- OB_WAN

Where to find 93-94 IDI Turbo LH Valve cover?
I actually don't have env concerns with this setup. I think I remember a post or two by you that listed putting a inlet in to the downpipe of the exhaust system to evacuate the crank gases directly out the tailpipe. Not a horrible solution. I'd prefer something else but honestly as long as I...- OB_WAN

Where to find 93-94 IDI Turbo LH Valve cover?
Hey crew! So, as my sig states. I have an old style non-WG banks turbo. It works great BUT the local shop here(very experienced in IDIs) recommended I get a valve cover from a '93-94 IDI Turbo because it integrated the CDR. Hence reduction of oil through the compressor on the turbo...- OB_WAN

rear driveline carrier bearing - size warning @ Autozone
A while ago it basically came down to Autozone, Kragen, Napa, or the dealer. Autozone and Kragen were within emergency distance and I found that Autozone had much higher quality and successful parts than Kragen every day. But recently I've been running in to problems with them. And on the...- OB_WAN

rear driveline carrier bearing - size warning @ Autozone
So was crawling under my truck a while back and noticed the rubber support that holds my carrier bearing was basically rotted out. floppity, floppity. No prob, got a replacement from Autzone. I finally got around to installing it this evening and find out that the bearing is too small...- OB_WAN

1990 F350 with Superduty springs?
This is how my crazy brain works. Saw a '97 front bumper(intercooler holes) on CL for sale at a halfway decent price so decided to call the guy up(because I want to install my intercooler). While on the phone with him, he tells me he put superduty springs on his truck and the ride is WAY...- OB_WAN

Who makes a 2-3" lift spring for a 350? Full spring, not add a leaf.
Diesel_Brad - curious about details on the RSK + SD springs. What does it take? I PM'd you as well. I know the RSK will net ~3.5" or 5.5" of lift depending on kit and will soften the ride a little. but the SD springs are supposed to make the IDI run smoother than a SD.- OB_WAN

Road draft tube
I've been wracking my brains trying to come up with an idea for my setup. I have a old banks turbo with the CDR plumbed in to the big old banks air box. so oil is running through the turbo. not a big deal per banks manual. BUT, I want to install an intercooler. Which means over time the...- OB_WAN

let me know how this goes. do you have to relocate the trackbar? my springs are beating me up. I saw a superlift 4" kit pretty cheap but curious if the ride with RSK/SD springs will be better.- OB_WAN

my fauct pump install pics
I also went with 3/8". perfect fit to the existing hard-line feed from the tanks. And there was one more thing I noticed while removing the existing fitting that attached to the filter(the 1/4 NPT fitting). the hardline fitting that goes on to the 90 NPT contains some form of a rubber...- OB_WAN

stock fuel pump question
yeah, I'm pretty sure these pumps are built to pull diesel up to 20ft(since they sit on Refers)? nice, simple and clean job on the bypass Heath. I was curious what the ID was on the hard line to make sure I wasn't causing any restrictions to flow.- OB_WAN
