2008 Ranger hubs
Having taken the front wheels off my 2008 Ranger 4x4 to put on mudflaps, I noticed there's no front disconnecting hubs - just halfshafts from the front studs direct to the diff - a solid front drive setup right through to the transfer case! No wonder it gets such bad fuel mileage for a small...- RobOnBusiness

Hypermax turbo boost and pyro numbers
On my last post of March 7/08, I described how I successfully installed a Hypermax turbo in my S-series 1991 International 3 ton truck, and promised I would post the boost and pyro numbers when I got the gauges installed. I did get them installed shortly after my last post, but haven't gotten...- RobOnBusiness

Hypermax turbo installed!
Hot gas! Thanks Justin - I'll be careful til I get those gauges in. A question - I was wondering how restrictive the muffler I installed from the kit is - it is a conventional round truck muffler with a redirecting baffle in the middle. The inlet and outlet pipes are not offset. I know that the...- RobOnBusiness

Hypermax turbo installed!
I originally posted an inquiry Dec.15/07 asking for input/advice on turboing an International 3 ton truck having a n/a 7.3 with Allison trans. I got polite replies from helpfuls "towcat and "Diesel JD" steering me toward Hypermax's kit tailored to the S-series truck I have. Shortly after that, I...- RobOnBusiness

International 3 ton 7.3L n/a needs turbo
You can see the whole setup on my website: robstreeremoval.com. I run a tree removal company, so this is a chip truck with a dump box, crewcab, chipper behind and stumper in front. You can guess how slow it is up hills loaded! When I had it outfitted, I specified I HAD to have a turbo'd engine...- RobOnBusiness

International 3 ton 7.3L n/a needs turbo
Thanks, Diesel JD! I just went to their website and indeed, my need is filled! I'll be talking to them first thing a.m.! By the way, The Y-joint I mentioned is the collector on the ATS kit at the R/S rear joining the R/S manifold to the crossover pipe , then up to the turbo. For starters, my R/S...- RobOnBusiness

International 3 ton 7.3L n/a needs turbo
Has anyone installed an aftermarket turbo in anInternational 3 ton truck with a n/a 7.3L + Allison. Mine's a '91, and desperately needs one. The Ford option from ATS looks great, but my motor mounts are at the side rear, not the side of block, perhaps interfering with the custom Y-joint. Any...- RobOnBusiness
