    EPA Sheriff, Nosy Karens and my truck

    I don’t live in an hoa but my neighbor about a house down probably wishes so. I always park on the side of my house, been doing that for 4 years no and I’ve never had an issue. Well when I first got the truck it wasn’t a big deal because it was stock and had stock exhaust. Now it’s a little...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    It’s crazy looking at 2 f250’s from different eras and seeing how different they are. Technology man.

    I’m planning a fairly long trip so I figured it’s been reliable enough, I’m more worried about how obnoxious the wind noise is at 80 mph

    I ordered new carpet, I need to install my firewall reinforcement plate, and while I’m there I would like to do sound deadener. So I’ll order that next. Oh! I also ordered a full weatherstripping kit because I can just almost spit my sunflower seeds out of the space between the cab and door

    You know, this guy actually paid me and he’s one of the people I don’t expect to just because we’re so close haha. I’ve been trying to get him on here.

    Converted my friend’s 7.3 to an e pump. My favorite thing to do to an idi other than a turbo.

    I went and checked out the tallest bridge in California. 730 feet. It’s in auburn. If any of you guys are in nor cal it’s a nice little drive. You can hike around everywhere. The truck did great other than some random little return line leak that isn’t leaking anymore. Also cost 140$ to fill up...

    “The 6.9” project thread

    I was bored today so I grabbed our horse trailer, loaded a pallet of steel and a pallet of wood stuff and went and pulled some hills LOL. I loaded it about exactly the same as I did last summer when I towed the same hills. I did them at the same speed but at like half to 3/4 throttle. 3rd gear...

    Well I was also not towing anything! If I was towing what you were I’m sure I’d be telling a different story haha.

    “The 6.9” project thread

    I am not trying to brag, and I feel like usually I’m on here talking about what is bad on my truck. I just did a 3 hour round trip. Half of it had a 7.3 in the bed. I cruised 80 miles an hour the whole time. Egt’s we’re at 700-750. Boost was at 8 psi. Oil pressure 40 psi. And water temp was 190...

    SIDE NOTE: my friend bought an 89 f350. 7.3 zf5. It’s in great shape but it sat for a while. It only has 1 tank, so I took the selector valve off to eliminate any unneeded issues. I took the pickup out of the tank and fixed the shower head issue. Put a new fuel pump on it because it wasn’t...

    You’re right. I plan to just stick it in a corner. I’ve had this one dolly I’ll use, I’ve had a lot of weight on it before so I feel like it’ll hold up alright. I used it with my old engine, except it wasn’t as gracefully placed

    That’s what I was thinking, I’d rest the wood on the oil pan flange. Worst case scenario it bends the little edge. I have 3 spare pans as well lol

    “The 6.9” project thread

    I’m picking up my new to me turbo motor tomorrow. I don’t have a stand to put it on and I don’t really intend on working on it for a while. As far as storing it, I don’t have too much room. I’m trying to figure out if I make almost a wooden box around the oil pan and front balancer, do you think...

    Finding an engine stand for an IDI, not easy

    The last 300 times I’ve taken my engine out I’ve always used this stand. Not sure what the rating is, but the last time it sagged quite a lot. But it’s had a bunch of big block boat engines and some other stuff on it. If I buy another one it’ll be the 2k from harbor freight

    I have been driving this thing a lot. I’ve almost put 5000 miles on it in the last 2 months. I guess I’ve always felt nervous about it because I have a hard time trusting my own work. Every day for the last week I’ve been on the freeway for 4 hours a day and it’s not skipping a beat. Work and...

    Bullnose Intercooler?

    @The_Josh_Bear I’m really annoyed that I haven’t tried to make an intercooler work yet LOL. This truck runs extremely cool with the turbo and 90cc pump. I can floor it all the way up to 75 and barely get over 900 degrees. On hills Ive been able to get close to 1200 empty but that was kinda...
