    IDI to Powerstroke

    Now that you mention it The 4 and 6 stud converters do ring a bell. I have less than 5,000 miles on rebuilding the trans in my idi and less than 50,000 on my ps. Both by the same shop. Would you happen to be able to send me the pin out of the wiring changes if you have them handy? If not i, will...

    Old Blue: 4th life

    I like the steering wheel remote holder. Any info as to where I can get one? Is it a Pioneer specific piece? Looking good on your project. Can you just fill in the gap in the jb weld with some more? Why do you think it broke loose? Kind of hard to join 2 dissimilar metals. what about finding an...

    Old Blue: 4th life

    I saw where you used vice grips. I suggested zipping the linkage to make shure it was fully closed and not just stuck in the middle of its travel by a weak spring not returning it all the way (experiance from working on a gm 6.5t talking here). Then you can test for boost while the truck is...

    Ever seen a big lifted 2wd?

    Looking at the close up photos. the studs are off center in the holes, and the tapered lug nuts just catch the edge of the hole. http://www.use.com/showorig.pl?set=fd9e68e5e59b127b698f&p=12 http://www.use.com/showorig.pl?set=fd9e68e5e59b127b698f&p=16 This truck looks like it was built...

    "do they make threaded to ferrule adapter?" Yes. Do you know how the wastgate linkage works. if so zip tie it in the full closed position and test for boost after you get the gauge in.

    Step one get that boost gauge mounted in thea intake. even if it's just temporary in the truck. is your turbo kit new or used? make shure the wastgate linkage moves freely. Also you don't want to build alot of boost when your just sitting still idieling in the driveway. the motor needs to have a...
