    The Official LUK 07-225 SMF Clutch Kit & ZF S5-42/47 Rollover Noise Poll

    If I could get a DMF at a reasonable price I would have. Seeing that one was not available, the SMF worked just fine for me. The noise is annoying but you get used to it quickly.

    Supercapacitor/Ultracapacitor starting bank

    I'm wondering how this will work when you run out of fuel and need to crank for 45 seconds (in bursts) to re-prime the system. Or how bout your alternator fails on a road trip and you need to keep going for three hours to get home. Or you leave the headlights on for 30 mins while you go in...

    Project Truck - 89' F250

    Unfortunately, due to lack of recent use, probably going to list this truck for sale in the next few weeks.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Mine had a T connector already installed up behind the rear bumper with a 4 flat. Might have been factory, not sure. Looks kinda like this: https://www.carid.com/tekonsha/t-one-connector-mpn-118316.html?singleid=2362300645&url=3177981 I need to run the rest of the wiring for trailer electric...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    New trailer light connector... this thing was about $25 on amazon, comes with the 7 way and 4 prong connector in one unit. Replacing the raggedy, busted 7 way connector that had obviously been smashed three or four times with a trailer tongue.

    Injection pump timing

    You will likely need to grind the probe pickup down slightly to fit. Its just a slightly larger diameter than the IDI 's timing port. The timing light will work with no modifications, but I prefer the probe, it seems more accurate and easier to use. I have the same unit.

    Timing Question---Procedure

    Mine was 13 degrees BTDC when I first put the meter on it, if yours has never been timed it can certainly be off by that amount.

    Coolant leaking from...somewhere

    A leak from the thermostat or upper hose where it clamps to the t-stat housing will show up there.

    Project Truck - 89' F250

    Yeah, I know. It makes sense for me though, I have a 5 month old son now and I really need a crew cab. The good news is that I have done quite a bit of soul searching and I can't give the IDI up, put 600 miles on it in the last four days, it sings like a bird. Also, my son loves the IDI...

    Project Truck - 89' F250

    This one is going on the back burner for a little bit :( Got a new project....Buying my Father In Law's LBZ crew cab duramax. Interior is pretty rough, the exterior is beat up in a few places, but it is rust free and no major mechanical issues, and the price is right. I'm probably going to...

    Power steering noise?

    Bump, what fluid you guys running? Ford Type F? just picked up my fluid extractor from the boat and planning to replace whatever is in the power steering reservoir, no problems but it looks gross

    Resonator or Muffler?

    Eh it will be fine as long as im above 75! Seriously the truck is much, much quieter at 80mph than it is at 70. Not exactly sure what I am going to do with it yet. Maybe just swap the glasspack out for a turbo muffler. For now the plan is to just drive real fast

    Blueish white smoke when accelerating

    I have one of these as well. Yep you'll have to grind down the magnetic pickup to get it to fit. I used a bench grinder and fine sandpaper to remove any burrs.

    Resonator or Muffler?

    4" should entirely change the volume and resonance compared to my 3" so that could explain it.

    Resonator or Muffler?

    Well after lots of driving and thinking about it I determined it was an exhaust drone. I drive this truck on the interstate almost every day for about an hour (commuting). Its pretty wild how it resonates just right in the back of the cab, like I said if I lean my head forward over the steering...
