    Discovery S/T Maxx 255/85r16, and Concentric Dually Spacers

    ^^^ so your outer wheel is now 4" farther from the wheel bearings than it should be with a heavier/wider tire? Sounds like a recipe for a lost wheel or two. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    WTB Ford Hydroboost Pedal

    The actual brake switch for the lights is on the pedal. It attaches to the pin for the booster/master cylinder rod Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Question about water pump flow

    If I remember correctly that is an inlet port as it's on the inlet side of the impeller. I had a ambulance motor once that used that port and one from the front of the head for the rear heater. Maybe someone was attempting to do some extra cooling? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Safe pyro temps for 7.3 psd

    Yes, and also that heat escapes the cylinder faster than an Idi and has less contact surfaces to soak the heat into. How's come my idiT truck wouldn't stay cool with both the factory 7.3 or an 87 6.9 but never gets the slightest bit hot pulling a heavy trailer at 60 mph with a power stroke in...

    Powerstroke '94.5-'97 opinions.

    I wouldn't worry about the oil loss personally. Was it good for it ? No. Did the engine shut itself down before it lost enough to starve the bearings and pump? Mostly likely. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Safe pyro temps for 7.3 psd

    This is my way of thinking, and I have been wrong before. A direct injection diesel will run cooler and have a higher safe manifold EGT than an IDI. The heat from the combustion cycle on an idi is easily heat soaked into the head from the precup and also heat soaks everything around it...

    Well here I go...

    I bought swamps "340" package so I got the hydra and 6 swamps tunes for an extra $400. I only had enough time monday day for the injectors and chip. Wasn't a terrible job, I started around 7 am, took a break from 11-12 waiting on injector arrivals and was done about 5. Did a test drive, latched...

    Well here I go...

    You will be happy to know that you are 100% correct. The baby swamps and hydra turned my old flatbed farm truck into an absolute beast. Only thing I'm not too fond of is any setting on my hydra will blow black smoke until the turbo spools. The light towing tune seems to be the least smokey...

    7.3 powerstroke standalone wiring harness?

    Bigger problem I found when looking into standalone harness/ ecm was that it's an international thing only (t444e). Most of those are only set to 190hp and you can't chip them to get anymore out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Towing with the new 19.5’s *pics*

    Why not go dually if you plan on continuous heavy hauling? With that said I would love to find a set of 8x6.5 19.5 dually wheels for my truck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Single shot injectors and WMO?

    What type of hyrometer do you guys have? I tried looking them up a long time ago and came up with lots of medical type stuff. The PSD will defiantly let you know when the fuel is too thick which is why I have been shying away from burning it. If I can get a more consistent viscosity I'd be...

    Well here I go...

    Might as well dig this one back up. I've put about 6k miles on the truck so far and it has done me well except I started getting a cold miss and lots of grey smoke. Baby swamp injectors and a hydra tuner will be here in a week or so. I'm a bit excited to see how she runs afterwards Sent...

    Single shot injectors and WMO?

    I couldn't tell you how many gallons of oil I burnt in my old Idi's. I can tell you that after 6k miles of driving my powerstroke that the 255k mile original injectors are shot and I doubt that the oil helped any. As Greenskeeper said, i didn't care if a $300 injection pump or an injector...

    Drilling into the frame?

    So by the time your done the bottom of your flat bed will be even with the bottom of your windows? I always aim to get the bed as low as I can and I also bolt them solid. Hasn't caused me any grief on frame integrity or off road capabilities. But I also don't drive on sand. Ever. Sent from...
