    Dash lights

    I'm interested in replacing the failing instrument cluster lights on my 95 F150, I searched the boards and noticed the 194 bulb keeps getting mentioned, but no real pinpointing as-to that being the bulb number, I'm really interested in upgrading to the low-draw LED ones, but without bulb...

    Swapping 351m with a 2001 7.3 powerstroke

    The 352/360/390/406/410/427/428 'FE' engines, the 351M/400, and the 429/460 '385' series as-well as the 'Boss 429' variant engines used the 'big block bellhousing' and the 260/289/302/351 'Windsor', the 'Boss 302', the 302/351 'Cleveland' engines used the 'small block bellhousing' Even though...

    Max Boost?

    It's OK Clb, this place is kinda a big place and if you aren't paying attention, it's pretty easy to wind up in the wrong place

    Max Boost?

    I'm kinda looking at the idea of maximum safe boost and power for an off-road heavy outdoors/camping special, which would often be towing trailer into the same kinda places. Basically, I was thinking about building a camping truck that I could drive up Kilimanjaro to camp at the top

    Powerband and fuel consumption figures?

    The problem is, I already have the 6.9IDI( 2-to be specific) just hanging around and I don't don't wanna buy ANOTHER engine, when I already have them just sitting there. I was thinking of running the system with a complete cooling system, and oiling system, with selectable auxiliary cooling for...

    Retiring Soldier looking for some input modifying an idea.

    I may be WAY LATE on your plans, and be of COMPLETELY NO USE, but have you ever considered something like a 'retired' school bus as the platform for your food truck?

    Powerband and fuel consumption figures?

    In truth, 100RPM wouldn't be that bad, I'm just looking at running it low and slow for potentially LONG times, I just don't like the idea of needing to keep an engine at 3600 for hours.

    Powerband and fuel consumption figures?

    I'm looking at modifying a generator head(48-horse 24,000 watt) intended to be driven by the 540RPM-PTO of a tractor.

    Swapping 351m with a 2001 7.3 powerstroke

    F.W.I.W. -the 351M has the same bolt pattern for the bellhousing as the 385-series gas engines( 429 and 460) The Boss 302 and 351C used the 'small block bellhousing', the 351M 400, and the old FE's used the 'Big block bellhousing'. That means that THEORETICALLY any trans that will bolt up to...

    Powerband and fuel consumption figures?

    I was wondering specifically how much power they make at idle, as it would be spinning a generator-head that needs a SPECIFIC amount of power to drive, and for longevity, I'd prefer to run it steady-state at idle, so, I NEED the idle power and while it's at idle, how much does it drink, because...

    Powerband and fuel consumption figures?

    Nobody knows of any info regarding what these engines do in steady-state running? I'm interested in building a homemade alt-fuel generator and the fact that these engines can eat WVO, WMO, Bio and reg diesel makes this thing a natural for my application.

    56 Ford COE from Reno, Nevada area... Detroit Diesel 8.2L V8 info???

    Welcome to the Forum, these people are an AMAZING font for incredible information on a MULTITUDE of diesels. I'm with JWaltrus, if it's your project, do whatever you want, and let NO ONE talk you out of what you want for YOUR project. Those 8.2's are regarded as either FANTASTIC, or...

    Powerband and fuel consumption figures?

    Does anyone have usable data on the powerband figures of these engines? Like they make x 2 idle, x 2 1200 etc? Also, what is a steady-rate fuel consumption at a given RPM?

    How much is my 7.3 turbo worth?.

    Well, honestly, the question you seek answers for is somewhat of a 'trick question'. Everyone has a different valuation on these things, some common-ish numbers floating around are in the $700 range for a good, rebuildable unit, or a runner. That the engine only has 160,000 miles on it is...

    suggestions for 12"-14" pusher e-fan, preferably OEM for some vehicle

    Pusher fans aren't as efficient as pullers, you might be better off using pullers. Pushers tend to 'diffuse' the air over the surface of the heat-exchanger rather than move it through the exchanger. EDIT: After reading your second relpy, that might work, as the pusher supplies air, the...

    Fuel economy upgrades for a 2011 6.7 powerstroke (on the cheap) suggestions

    At the O.P, those engines are designed to have that emissions crap on it and most likely will not react kindly to having it removed, throwing codes and using FADEC-type controls might actually hinder performance, and or make the truck completely stop running.

    a little bit of OBS help, please

    I'm not sure if I understood your question, but I got a 8.5 inch measurement from the radiator core edges to the center of the body-bushing bolts in the transverse plane on my '95 F150 with 5.0 liter/auto. :dunno

    93 7.3 idi rides like crap

    Bad shocks, worn or damaged or incorrect springs, NO steering stabilizer, and quite possibly a WHOLE LOT of worn parts in your suspension, maybe including suspension bushings and broken shackles/torn mounts. Honestly, I'm not really trying to sound like a COMPLETE dick here, but you say you...

    Let's talk filtration

    Hastings/Baldwin also does the Casite filters. I've ran those for over a decade in MULTIPLE gassers and never had any problems; apples to peanuts comparing diesels and gassers though.

    How to keep pumps from being messed with?

    Tell them( whomever is responsible) that WHEN the truck breaks down, any and ALL repair costs will be born SOLELY by them, then post a cost-listing of ALL things that could be damaged in the hooliganism. If they continue messing with the settings, then the next step will be to remove them from a...
