How much could my f350 handle?
i would look to see how much tongue weight that trailer will be when loaded and see where that would put you with the truck... combined load on an F350 is only 11,000 lbs basically. the most you can register an F350 is 11k.- freebird01

IDI "What if..." Durability and build question
well all i can say what i wrote is my personal opinion and not 100% known fact of what international actually did, I can say that I am definitely qualified to comment. I have been involved in engineering and design going on 8+ years and have used FEA for failure analysis and understand that it...- freebird01

IDI "What if..." Durability and build question
well...they are in the game to make winning motors and sell products and services. charity is a poor business to be in when it comes to the diesel world. and i agree on the new owner....shame on him? maybe... but its hard to say that without knowing his side of things.... plenty of other builds...- freebird01

IDI "What if..." Durability and build question
This is true to a point... it also has a lot to do with the structure of the head and where internal ribs and supports are located as well as cross sectional thickness in parts of the head. keep in mind the 6.9/7.3's were designed with calculators and sliderules. the newer stuff was probably...- freebird01

IDI "What if..." Durability and build question
not in the slightest.... it was done...and documented. most pullers and drag racers and not going to just publish everything they did to make something work better/go faster/ make power. just because hypermax never released every little detail on the motor doesn't mean it didn't happen...- freebird01

Introducing MOOSE BOOST!

Introducing MOOSE BOOST!
while that is a valid question that i am sure agnem will answer let me temper this response... I dont know what Mel's price is but keep in mind that the big three kits (banks,hypermax,ats) were all over $2,000.- freebird01

Foxbody style turbo setup 6.9IDI
the old BAE systems kit kind of did that. Only they mounted the turbo just above the steering shaft and it was tiny. I had an 85 6.9 with that system. Personally i did not like it. I felt that the way the downpipe had bee run it caused issues with my brake system. cooking the fluid and ruining...- freebird01
