    CDR oil through the turbo, good or bad?

    A first gen banks places the cdr on the air box so whatever oil is going through the cdr will end up passing through the compressor. It can't be that bad, mine is fine. I will also say I ran a draw through turbo (carburetor before the turbo) on my street/strip car for a few years before going...

    Went to go fishing with my brother, made it less than 10 miles and clutch went to the floor. Pulled over and found the clutch line had come out of the bracket holding it to the fire wall and landed on the up pipe and melted in two. Drove it back to their house, went fishing with another truck...

    56 Ford COE from Reno, Nevada area... Detroit Diesel 8.2L V8 info???

    We have one in a F700 dump truck backed by an Allison. It's ok. And by "ok" I mean it starts up and runs and goes down the road. With a good load in the bed going up a hill you pretty much put it to the floor...and pray you make it to the top. It wouldn't be my first choice in a medium duty...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Well my wife's car broke down about an hour away from home so went and got her on the car trailer. Can't complain too bad, she's had it 7 years and 130k miles with no problems. I'll fix it tomorrow.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    80$ for the pair of springs. It was an easy job, only took an hour working at a leisurely pace. Keep in mind I'm a Ford mechanic and did this at work after hours. It may take longer in the backyard.

    Replaced my old sagging front springs. The front end picked up 1.5" on both sides after the swap, feels like it rides better now.
