    Is my fuel selection valve fubar?

    @libsys if you have the ability to create vacuum or , pull fuel (truck off) from the fuel line pre/post lift pump you’ll be able to hear it by the tanks or selector valve . All it takes is a auxiliary electric fuel pump to a gas can and run it off the battery for power. Then just stick your...

    NEW GUY NEEDS HELP !! 1994 7.3 Turbo- Crank but no start

    I agree , symptoms would lean towards air intrusion. Not at the tanks pick-up location (since you say you already replaced them) Seems to me that your culprit might be at the fuel heater terminal/connector on the fuel filter housing , I am willing to bet that is the problem since you haven’t...

    @79jasper thanks ended up swapping the o-ring and plastic clip and works now, I took off the outlet on the fuel filter to the IP, put a barp fitting and hooked up a electric pump to pull fuel and then was able to hear the hissing coming from the connection at the rear tank , tested both tanks...

    Rotor and pad suggestions to improve braking

    @Booyah45828 Did the larger bore master and brake cylinders you used come of a 96 psd, or what year did you use for parts ? And did you have to change hard lines at all, or the brake rod that pushes inside the master ?

    Power loss?

    3k at 65 in drive or overdrive ? ,4.10 rear end? If you added a intercooler and lost power then it would seem you have a boost leak, and if you have black smoke at 3k something is off , the turbo should be spool’d and burning up that extra fuel You Need some EGT readings but if your motor...

    1994 7.3 NA Running Warmer than Normal?

    Sounds like your thermostat is stuck shut , if your radiator is cool in the middle and hot up top the fan won’t activate , signs of a faulty thermostat squeeze the upper hose if it feels hollow and you can’t tell there is coolant in there , red flag yes I agree with above that you can’t rely...

    How it Works - Fuel Selector Valve (FSV) and IDI Fuel Math AKA "What fuel pump should I run?"

    @hacked89 with this change to the fuel system you can only run one tank correct ? Are you running a transfer pump to utilize both tank or just one large tank? Thought about going this route if I go Electric fuel pump/intercooler/ head studs

    Bigger Mud Flaps

    @1mouse3 thanks! Just ordered me a set of the badges If you use the smaller mud flaps they are thin and not as strong/ flap in the wind This is why I bought mine from IHgear.com because mine are trucker tire mud flaps ( 24”w x 30”L) and they don’t flap easy, strong and thick but I had to take...

    @Cubey your just biased cuz you like red heads and her name Holley @foundonroaddead, sounds like you need to drop the front tank and do a shower head swap or mod. Or chase red heads and go electric . If you move away from stock, read up

    Camber Adjustment

    Thanks david for the info , but to me being a degree to a degree and a half in the positive direction of camber isn’t really that bad and with everything he has replaced it will eventually wear- in and sag some, (just need to rotate tires sooner ) for alignment “toe” is really what matters. I...

    Camber Adjustment

    @Dummy99 not sure about your year but post a pic of your front end (can’t be much different than the ‘89 or ‘91 I have) looking towards the rear of one side of the truck. But if your plus 1 to 1.7 from the alignment shop that means you have positive camber and need less so swapping springs won’t...
