    How would I ship an axle

    Where in AZ? I'm in the middle of a move from Albuquerque to Las Vegas right now, and coming back from Vegas to Abq with an empty truck bed and trailer every week to reload and head back west. I could pick it up if it's on the I-40 through AZ and get it as far as Albuquerque if that would...

    Diesel Performance Specialists (DPS)

    I'll chime in with my $.02. I shelled out the money for a DPS Pump and injectors. I waited. And waited. I installed them and timed my truck to spec. It ran like crap. It would only idle on 6 cylinders, and smoked like a old train. It did run ok on the highway, but not at all around town...

    CDR hose- factory turbo style NEED ASAP

    David- Thanks for the input, but I actually need the other side of the CDR hose to the airbox. It's a little different on the newer wastegated turbos. I ended up modifying a copper pipe fitting from Lowes as a temporary solution. It actually turned out so well that it might be better than...

    CDR hose- factory turbo style NEED ASAP

    Guys- You may recall last week that my truck was giving me fits starting, and I traced it to a faulty connection on the glow plug controller. In the process, I tore the hose connector on the CDR valve that goes between the CDR Valve and the tube that leads to the airbox. (#23 in the attached...

    Help- NO glow plug action, in the middle of a move!!!

    Got it fixed guys- thanks for all the help! Turns out I had a loose connection at the main power feed into the GPC. The large gauge wire terminal was loose on the stud, and all corroded. I removed it, cleaned it up with a brass brush, and reinstalled it properly. With the 8 new glow plugs...

    Help- NO glow plug action, in the middle of a move!!!

    Guys- I'm in the middle of moving from Albuquerque to Las Vegas for my new job. I NEED my diesel to drag the trailer out there. The past week it's been really difficult to start, and I'm getting NO glow plug action that I can tell. I took the time today to install 8 new Motorcraft glow...

    Tire/Rim/Speedo Question

    Mine are 285s. In my opinion they're about the best choice. Mine fit with an add a leaf and no trimming.

    Spped Sensor

    Speed sensor is in the rear diff. Just put one in my 92 a few weeks ago, but don't have the part number. I got it from the Ford Dealership for under $35. Might look into a factory part before you go straight to the aftermarket. Ryan

    very clean f-350

    Well, some people only have taste in their mouth... They drove that one down the crap aisle with shit magnet on for sure- but it is well preserved! Ryan

    Am I wasting my time with my 088 ATS?

    I had an 088 on my truck for a while- it's the turbo that was on the engine when it was in Diesel Power magazine. i never saw much over 6 psi, and more like 4-5 after I installed the ATS intercooler. I had to work the truck HARD to get any boost out of it, and it never performed like I'd...

    Where to mount cb

    I went a little different route in my truck. I modified a Tuffy console intended for a car radio and slipped my Galaxy CB in from the bottom. I mounted an external speaker, and it works great.

    Rear View Mirror Falls Off....

    Tell your wife to quit adjusting the mirror! Go to a windshield shop. They'll have the good stuff. I've had to do that for customers cars here, and the glass shop we work with always takes care of it. They also use an adjustable hood prop rod (like you buy on a tool truck) jammed against the...

    Low boost high EGT's

    AEM makes a cleaning kit for that filter. Mix with warm water and dunk it in a bucket- that's what they recommend. Ryan

    Fuel Tank switching valve questions

    Is it possible for the switching valve to fail so that only the return side of ONE tank is blocked? I'm beginning to think my fuel leak problems at the injector caps may be caused by the switchover valve. I only notice the smell and see the leaks when I'm running on the front tank after a...

    Injector Tester...

    Look what I found buried in the back room at work. Manufacture date says early 1980's. Looks like it's never been used once I wiped it off. I work at a Toyota dealership, and we haven't had a diesel in a LONG time. Looks like an IDI injector will thread right on without adaptors. What's...

    Attn: MOOSE Products Owners

    Had a few minutes to slip the truck into the shop today and tinker with the fuel screw settings. The fuel screw was 1 turn off of bottomed out. I bottomed it and backed it out 1/2 turn. gained 2psi, so it runs about 11 unloaded now. Still has just a slight grey haze out of the tailpipe at...

    A little good news

    Good to hear you got it back! For what it's worth, you can buy new ignition cylinder and door lock cylinders as a set from Ford for less than $100. Might be worth having NEW parts with NEW keys... Ryan

    Attn: MOOSE Products Owners

    I currently have my DPS pump on the truck. Smoke clears up over 2500 RPM when the boost pushes past 3-4 psi. Boost pressure tops out around 9.5-10psi with the wastegate rod shortened as far as it will go. I certainly have more room for fuel. The DPS pump seeps fuel onto the valley pan, has...

    Attn: MOOSE Products Owners

    I'm getting real close to pulling the trigger on a complete Moose injection pump/injector setup for my truck. I have complete faith in Mel and his products, but would like some real-world feedback on the performance of the products, especially at high altitude operation. I live in...

    Injectors leaking, which return line kit?

    Order from Russ (typ4). I just got done installing his kit on my truck (months after I received it thinking I needed it urgently...) and it's WAAAAY nicer than the crap I took off. The last set was a low-budget kit that was included with a pump/injector combo I purchased(Long story...)...
