    Project Big Red

    What brand of gauge did you go with? That sender looks nothing like my Autometer one. At least simmit isnt giving you a hassle with warranty. They always seem to be good to deal with. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

    Custom intake and exhaust manifolds

    Yep, Idiot is the one building the manchero. You can look up @freebird for flanges. He is the one who has cut them out for Brian a couple times. Jason's side business is called Terrapin Mfg. If you want to look him up online. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

    Oilburners 2019 Gatlinburg Rally

    It would be great if we can arrange another convoy. We had a pretty sweet one last year. I made my reservations for the 6th cause @laserjock and @subway were talking about going down Saturday. If it works out we can all convoy down together, great! If not maybe we can have 2 smaller convoys...

    Oilburners 2019 Gatlinburg Rally

    @no mufflers I think reset2 got an onsite camper too. That might be another option. Well made my reservations today! I'm in site 205 July 6th through the 13th. On another unrelated note, is this thread going to get moved to the idi forum eventually? I remember towcat saying it would be moved...

    Oilburners 2019 Gatlinburg Rally

    As much as we'd all love for you guys to be there all week I know how things go sometimes. In fact my brother probably isn't going to be there the whole week either with his job. I think I can speak for everyone and say we'd still love to see you guys even if its only for a little bit though...

    Oilburners 2019 Gatlinburg Rally

    I'm thinking I'm going to make reservations Saturday to Saturday. I'd like to convoy down with everyone else. I figure I can always change my reservations if I need to closer to the rally. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

    Oilburners 2019 Gatlinburg Rally

    Just curious who is coming down when? I'm debating on Saturday or Sunday, but was just curious when the rest of the northeasterners were going down. Maybe we could get another convoy together. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

    Hypermax Help

    Like was said Hypermax is still in business. The early non-pulse setup only has one uppipe, but the later pulse system has 2 uppipes. It's up to you, but if it is a non pulse setup and the bracket was broke you can buy a new pulse braket, 2 uppipes and a new divided turbo housing if you want to...

    Project: The New CDD Shop Truck

    I think a company called Midwest Transmissions makes a short throw shifter for the ZF5. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

    Project: The New CDD Shop Truck

    @Thewespaul how do you like them compared to the stock ones? Do you feel they are giving you better performance?

    Proper clutch diagnosis?

    If your new master cyl is cocked off on an angle I'm willing to bet it's for the wrong year. The earlier master cylinders had the bolts straight up and down and the later ones were angled a little. Either way the masters still work fine. This also probably explains the difference in pushrod length.

    Proper clutch diagnosis?

    Looks like you got it figured out Chris! Master is definitely the issue. Fix that and you'll be good to go again. Also as long as the pin on the lever is good I wouldn't bother with the heim joint mod. If your pin was wore out that's a different story though. Also when you decide to rebush your...

    Proper clutch diagnosis?

    I would have someone push the clutch in while you watch the firewall. You can't always see the cracks because the two layers separate. If it's separating talk to @freebird01 aka Jason because he makes the firewall kits. If this checks out fine then look up under the dash above the throttle pedal...

    Suspension choices with pros and cons

    I saw the coil spring kit was expensive. It actually looks like they modifiy the lower ball joint mount to give you a lift with it as well. I just thought the idea was kinda cool. I personally think I could make something like that for far less money. I like the idea of coil springs for a...

    Suspension choices with pros and cons

    I thought this was an interesting idea and could eliminate the need to modify the frame horns in a 4x4 swap. Yes I saw its pricey, but I just thought it was an interesting idea. https://cpaddict.com/dana-50-ttb-front-leaf-spring-delete-kit/

    Talk me out of it... (buying more junk)

    Well you know you could always say you were picking it up for one of us and then we could just never have a chance to come get it, haha! Then when she sees you parting it out just act pissed because so and so never came to pick it up after a year or 2 lol! Also if scrapping the frame save...

    94' IDIT...... Recommended turbo upgrade? Banks? R&D? etc?

    The rings were worn very hard on the center cylinders. The bores had a bit of a ridge in them too. I can't remember the measurements on the cyls themselves. I do know the machine shop was able to clean them up with just a .020 overbore. She runs pretty well now in my black truck. I did do a few...

    The problem is I really want to go to both places, ugh. Why must the decisions be so hard!

    what coolant do you use and why?

    I use Fleetgard ES Compleat ethylene glycol. They also make a propylene glycol that is more environmentally friendly and better if you have pets around. Both are precharged with DCA4. It's available in 50/50 or straight. I usually use straight and distilled water. I use it cause it's still an...

    Gt3788 guys... a question

    I thought you and I were on the same page, haha! This way everyone can see what the thought is. We have an old rad hose at the shop. I can cut it tomorrow and get you a true measurement.

    Gt3788 guys... a question

    Btw just so everyone knows my truck is non intercooled. I am pulling water from the back of the head for the turbo and returning it to a tee in the heater hose going back to the water pump. My temps towing the camper to the rally were max of 210 when having it floored for a while getting on the...
