    Project Black Stallion

    So a little update, last week I was able to helicoil my injection pump cover and get my bull moose reinstalled. I also replaced the plastic tees I had in my return line system with some brass tees since the plastic ones were leaking. And finally no more fuel leaks, woohoo!!! That being said...

    I got my 38 gallon tank through rock auto. I'm thinking no matter where you get them they are the same manufacturer. I believe mine was spectre.

    AutoMeter pyrometer malfunction

    Ok, it was just a thought. Give them a call, they were very helpful with mine eventhough it was long out of warranty.

    AutoMeter pyrometer malfunction

    It doesn't squeeze the gauge to hold it, does it? I found the cups I had squeezed the gauge too tight and caused it to malfunction. Turns out I had the washers under the head of the screw instead of between the center spacer and band. This made them too tight.

    AutoMeter pyrometer malfunction

    If it's wired correctly give them a call. They were really helpful whenever i needed help. Also how do you have it mounted? In a cup or in a pod?

    Did you ever think about mounting a cheap boost gauge in the truck temporarily as a exhaust back pressure gauge? That would tell you if the exhaust housing is too restrictive.

    I'm really digging your under seat speaker box. I'm gonna have to check it out at the rally. I've never built a speaker box, but have always wanted rear speakers in my 86. I may have to pick your brain when the time comes, haha! Looks great though!

    2018 Oilburners Rally

    I'm actually hoping to get my cb installed before the rally. It's nice to be able to talk with the rest of the convoy whenever we travel together.

    I'll have to get a thermometer for that first, haha! The good news is I got her charge up tonight! It is deffinately colder than it was before. I'm assuming because I went from the blue R12 orifice tube to the red R134a orifice tube.

    Project Black Stallion

    So I haven't posted in a while due to all the busyness that comes with spring. But I have managed to get my exhaust rerouted to clear my mud flaps. Now if only I could find my mud flaps themselvs, ugh. Also this week I've been working on getting my ac up and working again since the engine swap...

    2018 Oilburners Rally

    I can do drinks! I'm assuming assoted sodas, lemonade, teacooler, ect? I was gonna say I could do ground beef too, but it looks like Danielle already got that. I think we should convince Andy to smoke some sort of meat for it :D

    Fan clutch upgrade...

    Any update? I'm just curious how this project is coming along.

    Did you eliminate the stock sender then?

    Project Big Red

    I'm watching the fan upgrade thread too. I even wondered if putting the 6.4 fan on the idi clutch and trim it to fit in the radiator shroud would help. I also considered making some sort of air oil cooler setup just to try to pull some heat out of the cooling system. Also, where do you guys put...

    Cross country roadtrip - Oregon to Pennsylvania

    Just curious where in PA are you? There is a bunch of us oilburners down here in central pa. I'm about 20mins east of Harrisburg myself.

    Fan clutch upgrade...

    I just don't see much point to the fan being on if the radiator and air flow across it are sufficient to do the job without the need of the fan. I mean it's not like you are going to put a 195 degree temp switch in the bottom of the radiator, it would obviously overheat. Something lower like 170...

    Fan clutch upgrade...

    See to me I think it would be better to sense coolant temp at the bottom. That way if you are running down the highway and the radiator has plenty of airflow the fan will never kick on. At the top the fan will kick on anytime the thermostat opens. Just my veiw on things.

    Zf5 cross reference between IDI and psd.

    Higher number means a lower gear. Also if you get the zf 4x4 tranny have him put it on a skid and ship it through Fastenal. They are by far the cheapest way to ship big items as long as you don't mind picking it up at one of their stores. I just shipped a complete 6.9l from Harrisburg, PA to...

    Project Black Stallion

    I have to be honest I'm very impressed by Autometer. Not only did they send me out the correct sender for my fuel pressure gauge no questions asked, but they just replaced my pyrometer free of charge...................that has been 2yrs out of warranty!!! I wasn't expecting that at all when the...
