    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Today I changed my tranny fluid, and while I was under the truck I kept glancing at the exhaust and was thinking about the terrible stock down pipe, sooooo, I decided to to bite the bullet and build a 3 in dp. Went hunting in the scrap pile and found some pipe, and began cutting. I got...

    Getting by with one battery in summer?

    I also use MAXX batteries, and they seem to work great. I picked up one of them at Walmart for around $97. Its rated at 850 CCA, and 1000 CA.

    Getting by with one battery in summer?

    I don’t know if this would work in your situation, but whenever we have to recondition a battery here, we always hook it to a running vehicle via jumper cables and let it sit for 5-15 minutes. The forced power to the battery usually reconditions it enough for our “smart” charger to take over

    Getting by with one battery in summer?

    I don’t know how helpful this is, but I am running two 1000 CA batteries. For a week last November though I was only running one of the batteries. The truck started great with that setup, but I don’t know if it was taxing the starter. I just know it worked fine. ( And that’s when my truck was...

    Tire size?

    I second ldibronco’s opinion for a daily driver. That does make me a bit of a hypocrite though since I run 315/75 (35 x 12.5) tiresLOL my tires perform real well and are rated at 3000 lbs load each, and they only rub when I fully crank them in a turn. If yours is a daily driver though, I would...

    Is this a suitable downpipe?

    Yeah, you’re right. I did look it up and it does look very similar to the 6.5 dps. The guy said it was off a 7.3 specifically when I contacted him, the seller is a fab shop, so I’m not sure what it’s for :dunno I think I’ll just pass on it though. I don’t have a ton of money to spare as it is...

    Is this a suitable downpipe?

    Ok, thanks for the info. I thought it looked odd for a stock setup, so I contacted the seller and they said it came off of a stock idit configuration:dunno

    Is this a suitable downpipe?

    Hey guys. I’m looking for a downpipe to replace my stock one for my 1994 idi with the stock turbo. I found a used downpipe on eBay for what I thought was a reasonable price, but it has a little bit of a different shape compared to other idi dps I’ve seen, such as the banks 52103 dp. here is a...

    New injectors, shaking at stop lights

    Speaking of Wes’s pumps, what does one of his 90cc pumps run price wise? I’m just thinking for a future build

    New injectors, shaking at stop lights

    They give you what you pay for, that’s why their prices are a lot lower than other places LOL

    New injectors, shaking at stop lights

    Dcp has amazing costumer service, if it does end up being a bad injector, I am pretty sure they will replace it for free. Also I sold them some pump cores at $100 bucks a core and some injector cores @$15 each, so if any of you have cores laying around they would probably be happy to buy them...

    New injectors, shaking at stop lights

    My guess would be the injectors. Dcp is pretty hit and miss. I went through two of their fuel pumps in less than 60 miles, but since they were under warranty it only cost me shipping and time. The third pump has worked awesome though. The injectors I’m running are remans from Accurate Diesel and...

    Doing install of Wes's turbo kit

    Good that you replaced those. My cooler blew a week after I installed the engine I rebuilt, and boy was it a pain to get the cooler out and back in with the engine in the truck. Lesson learned for me LOL

    Well, today my flat bed officially became part of my 350. I had an extra fender emblem so it got slapped on the flatbed :Thumbs Up

    Rear fuel tank shenanigan question

    Most of what I know I learned from Ken McNabb, who was one of Lyons’ apprentices for many years. I’ve learned that the only way to get the horses light and responsive is to be light and attentive myself

    Rear fuel tank shenanigan question

    That’s very true that everyone has unique experiences, one of the reasons this forum is so valuable. I know I’ve had some super strange stuff happen to me with my beast

    Zf5 synchros

    Thank you the info @greenskeeper :) and yeah I’m planning on using PZ because it’s more in my budget and my truck still shifts good, it just needs new fluid. T-case and axles are next when I get the time and money

    Zf5 synchros

    I know, I was just wondering what the zf5 capacity was?

    Zf5 synchros

    It appears that Walmart sells MTL for about $65/ gallon. The only other place I found it cheaper was eBay @ $58/gallon. Also, this is slightly off topic, but I need to flush my zf5 as well and was wondering how any quarts of fluid to buy?
