Mines a 7.3 with a non wastegated ats kit. The old kit from the 90's. And mine is about the same as you described. I chased down a few boost leaks and instead of building more pressure the boost just seems to come on earlier.
I wonder how much difference a stock turbo with a wastegate would...
Cant wait to hear how you like those injectors. I was thinking of getting those and a pump to liven up my truck.
Are you planning on running a wastegate?

You can find this info in a basic google search.
The trans takes atf and 15-40 mor the engine. Diff depends on your rear end. I think I used 75-90 or something. Also local auto parts can look up this info.

Definitely leaking from bottom of the filter... it seems tight though... is there a better option or should I lubev he seals and tighten it back on?
Also pics of my fuel pump.

The filter just looks a bit damp on the sides but it's not dripping. I'm using an electric fuel pump. I guess I'll have to snap some pics

This is very interesting. I'm thinking air may be getting in from the fuel filter it looks a bit wet. Maybe just needs tightening. It's new.
IF I had air in the lines though wouldn't I have starting issues?
Truck fires right up every time.
Or is it possible air sneaks in under hard load...
Ok so find the leak! I'm assuming it could be coming from the switch. I vacuum capped the second tank ports when I installed a 38 gallon rear tank and eliminated the side tank. Should I put a clear line from fuel filter to the ip?

So cruising the idi 7.3 ats turbo non wastegated zf5. Occasionally I get what feels like a surge of power or a feeling of i don't know like some one was giving me an extra push. Usually seems to happen in 3rd gear between 2500-3000 rpm. I'm not moving the pedal more than say 3/4 and it feels...
So it appears my power steering pump is going out on me.... looks like I'm gonna get a new one.
Since I have all the hydroboost stuff lying around I may as well get the hydroboost pump! Upgrade time.

Well I'm not really concerned with mileage. This is just a camping truck for me. But I'll try to note mileage after I get the speedo accurate. I need a different speedo gear.

I put in 4.88. With my tires being 35's (33.5" according to my tape measure with weight on them) that puts my effective ratio a little lower than a set of 4.10 would be stock.
Good thing I did too truck and trailer combined weighed 13800 lbs on the scale and that's without water.
So my...
Today I added a real coolant temp guage so I can monitor that more closely. What should my max temp be? 230??
Also I rigged up a Cold air intake that goes right by the driver headlight out if black abs tubing. So far I think the egt's are already lower but we will really see when I tow my...
