    FAN UPGRADE COOLING/OVERHEATING

    Have you looked into an ambulance package fan clutch, comes on earlier and runs longer.

    Severe duty fan clutch

    Anyone ever installed or use a severe duty fan clutch, does it really make that big of a difference or work better? And was there a different fan for this application. I've read up on the 6.0 fan mod for the Powerstroke, but that's the wrong rotation for the IDI. Would like to more CFMs across...

    Paint the truck cap or leave it - poll

    Go with a tan stripe along the lower rocker like the Eddie Bauer to match the shell, if you get tired of it paint the whole thing.

    Oil Pressure port

    Why not use a braided line with a bracket , that way you can route it anywhere you wish and keep it out of harms way.

    Popular/General Upgrades for '93 7.3L idi

    Read through the TECH articles that would be your best source for up-grades that work. Fuel, Starter and charging would be the first things I would take care of to make it ready for winter! Just saying

    E4OD Temp sender info

    I thought it was reading a little cool 130-150 with the sender sticking out of the pan in the breeze, already have a aux cooler on board thanks though. Never over heated it but what are gauges for if they don't read accurate!;Sweet

    E4OD Temp sender info

    Thanks, just couldn't remember where that port was (Old age is creeping in) or I have just filled my noodle with other useless S**t! Do you have a ave. temp range you trans runs from that location, around town/freeway, unloaded?

    E4OD Temp sender info

    I'm looking to relocate my trans temp sender from the pan (welded bung), If I recall there was a location on the body of the transmission you could install a sender. I would like to get a more accurate temp reading. Any thoughts would be helpful, thanks in advance.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Finished the gauge pod, wiring and mounted down the consul. All that's left is hooking up the gauge senders.

    Champion aluminum radiator specifications, including comparison to OEM

    I was having the temp slightly rise in stop and go traffic, so installed a 14" pusher fan from the junk yard and wired it to the AC wow what a difference in the cooling and the AC blows @ 37'. I was looking at the same rad also but I might hold off till the OEM craps out for good!

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    It was the maintenance weekend, what started the whole thing was a few drops of coolent coming from the water pump weep hole ending up on the ground. So ordered a new water pump then thought I should change out the fan clutch since I was in there, then figured I should change the t-stat since it...

    What do CA laws say about swaping a same year diesel into a same year gasser?

    The CA DMV just recently sent me a letter stating that I need to smog my 92 F-250. I told them it was a diesel and was exempt from smog due to the age of the truck and I didn't need to, they then required me to have the truck inspected by their "trained" official who had no idea what he was...
