    Anybody put 17" dually wheels on an OBS?

    I've dug through the old threads, just looking to see if anybody has put any other brand of 8 x 6.5 dually wheels on an OBS truck. I feel like the correct Alcoa dually wheels for these trucks are getting as rare as hens teeth, but there are lots of newer Chevy and/or Dodge wheels out there that...

    Starts right up, runs rough, dies

    Nice catch! Great diagnosis technique. I have a Facet pump in my toolbox for transferring fluids, but this shows it's worthwhile having one for this type of trouble shooting. Treat yourself to a cold beverage as a reward :cheers:

    Rear main seal leakage - should I use a stop leak? [1994 IDI w/ turbo]

    +1 on riphip’s response, you could also get it super clean and then do the black light oil additive to confirm if it’s engine oil and/or the exact location of the leak. Good luck, oil leaks can be tough but rewarding to fix!

    what is needed for a disc brake conversion on a sterling 10.25 axle?

    Here’s a good read on converting to read disks using E350 van parts. Do a search on rear disk coversion, lots more info on various sources but imnso this is the best way to get rear disks. I will also state that everybody who does hydro boost brakes says that is the best use of time and money I...

    would you buy?

    Nevermind reading mine: I write it late last night and realized I never pushed the post button. Listen to Bismic & Pearl, they have lots of 6.0 PSD experience.

    would you buy?

    I would recommend a couple of things. For starters, see what you can find with a Carfax or VIN search. Depending on what the VIN search tells you, I would suggest putting a monitor on it and looking at the coolant to oil temp delta while driving it with a load or up a long grade to see where...

    I hate TTB axles

    +1 on the adjustable upper ball joint. I might also talk to another shop to get a second opinion on your alignment. I had a TTB on my red and white truck that wore tires very well at >250K miles. They can be made to wear tires pretty well.

    truck problems

    Did your fuel filter light come on? On my old truck, I put a diagnostic quick disconnect so I could measure actual fuel pressure upstream and downstream of the filter, kind of keeping an eye on what pressure the lift pump was making as well as taking a look at pressure drop as the filter filled...

    Very nice and well documented ;Sweet Are you duplicating two or three sets of these? If you aren't you should as I think there's going to be some folks who will want to duplicate your system.

    Axle swap brake issue

    Two questions: Did you swap the pedal to a hydroboost brake pedal? Did you swap the master cylinder to something that matches the axles you swapped in?

    OBS Overheat!!!!

    2 gallons of coolant every couple hundred miles is a lot. Whether it's a head gasket that you can't seem to find because it only really happens at operating temperature, or injector cups, or some other symptom, you really need to consider that your engine is drinking 256ish ounces over 250ish...

    02 7.3 runs and idles but has miss under load

    Just change the CPS, put the old one in your glovebox as a spare. If it fixes your problem, the installation time on the CPS is pretty easy and you'll feel like a million bucks. If it doesn't fix it, you'll be $30 poorer but have a spare for when the new one craps out down the road.

    Nice write up. Great choice on the DeatshWerks pump. have one in my GN and I have accidentally run it out of fuel with no ill effects. I believe Deatshwerks makes the best Walbro style pump. All the other stuff is totally suspect, I installed a Walbro knockoff in my GN and it never made...

    Sun Prairie is a nice area, and yes: Spotted Cow is a great local beer up there. It always seemed strange to me that all the PNW beers are everywhere now, but I've never seen anything from New Glarus outside of the MN/Wisconsin area.

    Moving Saturday

    Six years ago I did Portland to Chicago in my Powerstroke with a not yet wife and three cats: total Cannon Ball in the Fall as the weather was spectacular for November and I really wanted to make time. When we got to Chicago my wife informed me that I will need a new co-driver for my next...

    That's a sweet retrofit: did you say it was twice the capacity of the original tank? How many gallons is that?
