    The 89 lipstick on a Pig

    What I am thinking is a it was way to advance to begin with, to much fuel pressure advanced it some more, plus whatever the timing advance was for the cold start. That plus the old pump trying to keep up with new injectors. It has some stiction eleminator in it. But I’ll add some more stuff

    Turned out from my own ignorance or maybe it was always like that (the crew cab did run like crap) the wiring for the FSS was wired into the cold start advance AND the high idle. So it was always advanced He is running a hell of a lot better now.

    Ok hive mind. Does this sound like fuel knock? The exhaust hasn’t cleaned up, there’s a bit of blowby. Exhaust kinda burns ya eyes.

    He is alive! Took allot of work to get here. Old pump had to go on to get it going, but now that I know what was going on, should go back together just enough to make it to NobS OBS

    7.3 IDI Mild Build going in a 1986 F350 thread

    Them are the exact same springs I went with. I haven’t gotten to do the axle swap yet. But I’m debating on having a spring shop rearch them back to factory specs. Still would be cheaper than buying brand new for me. I’m gonna use my factory rear springs and use f350 lift block and call it good.

    On another note I went to The Dalles, OR to do a contaminated material offload. Got bit by a spider, my ******** didn’t go to the doctor (probably should have) but spider bites weren’t the crowning achievement of my trip. Other than a sensor issue my crane caught on fire (electrical) with a full...

    Pretty stoked, got keyed power hooked up to a relay inside the cab to power all the other crap I’ve put in. Gauges trans controller, fass fuel pump, and at some point my inverter. I’ve got some trial and error on how to mount the trans controller this time around, I want to make it cleaner but I...

    I’ve taught myself every welding process I’ve ever done, luckily I’ve made a hell of a living off welding steel. But 3 days into aluminum leaves a lot to be desired.

    Man oh man do I miss Russ. I had a slight panic then remembered something I saw in a thread a while back and lo and behold it was he who posted it. 1/8” compression nut shaved a bit down and smacked in. For the repair of the thermostat housing ball.

    Took a good bit of the afternoon to get most of the heat/sound insulation in, I’ve got some more for the fenders (to not sound tinny) I know some peoples opinion on this stuff, the only difference is this particular product I get to see first hand everyday at work on tugboats. So I know this...

    Little update it’s been hard to work on it with my now previous employer taking me 9hrs from home . But as I say in the hotels after work I just couldn’t sleep with the fact I was putting used pistons back into my build. So with some effort and the swipe of a card, a brand new set of Mahle...

    The 89 lipstick on a Pig

    Got a few things done this weekend. Got the broken and stuck injector body out. I absolutely hate that the machine shop didn’t do it when they were rebuilding the heads. I didn’t notice it and set the heads aside over a year ago and didn’t even look at them after picking them up. Anyways got it...
