Wastegate Adjustment
You are welcome. I have seen tidbits of information here and there on this site about turbos and intercoolers. However, I have never seen a full description of actual physical changes with how they work on the engine so i thought i would take the time to correct the information along with a...- zjspeedy

Wastegate Adjustment
I'm going to throw in my two cents here and sorry if i step on anyone's toes as that is not my intent. I see either an incomplete or misconception of knowledge here that i'll explain with my theoretical and working practical knowledge of mechanics and engineering. A turbo will increase the...- zjspeedy

STOP THIEF!!! What you would do to make your IDI harder to steal...
One of my friends used to be a car accessory installer. He installed a loud, high pitched car alarm in the vent system in the dash behind the steering wheel. Anyone who steals his truck will have hearing problems for several days.- zjspeedy

So just how much does a turbo help? Pics too!
A turbo will help ALOT in reducing the black smoke. I did the banks turbo install myself about seven months after I bought my truck. My truck had 180k miles on it since the last rebuild. How many miles before the rebuild i don't know and neither did the friend i bought the truck from. Most...- zjspeedy

NEED MORE BOOST
Also I want to throw in that if you are towing heavy loads with an older turbo truck like mine you have to think like a trucker. You do not go into a hill at normal speed then floor it, this will cause the turbo lag and billowing of black smoke. Often when going into a hill I will slow the...- zjspeedy

NEED MORE BOOST
I'll throw in some experience with my truck. I did a minor overhaul on my truck two years ago after i moved 2000 miles. I moved from Bremerton Washington to Muscatine Iowa. During the trip i had over heating issues. Mostly the engine running hot and from time to time bouncing the egt's off...- zjspeedy

93 with Banks kit getting hot
I had a shop clean the cooling system and it didn't do sh*t. Had overheating problems when i moved 2000 miles as well as e40d problems. The temps i was seeing was anywhere from 220 to 235. By 235 degrees i layed off the throttle but i was going through mountainous areas. Couple months after...- zjspeedy

New Submariner
I have done a good chunk of research to school myself up on the 10.25 axles but here is my situation. The rear axle under my truck has failed, not to the point of catastrophic failure yet. The rear axle is a sterling 10.25 first generation (the one with the short pinion and yoke). The failure...- zjspeedy

New Submariner
I'm new to posting on this site. I have navigated probably hundreds of different threads on this site for information on my truck. This place site seems to be the only one with people who actually knows what they are talking about when it comes to my 7.3 idi. Would appreciate any help on...- zjspeedy
