    Hypermax Exhaust

    Anybody running a hypermax exhaust kit? I recently ordered a stage 2 kit from CDD for my truck and I was looking at the Hypermax 3.5" and 4" exhaust kits. The website says the 4" is for the PSD, but I was figuring since its the same body, the exhaust should be really close and would probably...

    What is this bracket for?

    Thanks guys, got my truck without the factory jack or spare (removed for a dwi quickcush rear bumper) so when I removed that bracket I had no idea what it was for.

    Glow plug amp draw

    The last time i measured my truck, it draws between 180a and 200a. I have a factory controller and all new beru plugs, new wires, etc. I ended up running a 4 gauge from the starter solenoid to a 200a breaker mounted on the fender. I agree with Franklin - I originally tried a 180a circuit...

    You might be able to get cash for / sell turbo, hot side, headers, ip and injectors - either to individuals or possible to a rebuilder like R&D or CDD (at core charge price). I’ve also seen people asking big money for air intake box on eBay and fb marketplace. And you might be able to sell...

    Timing related to cold starts

    Hey all Looking for some input from the experience on this forum. Could the timing affect cold starting? I presume that it could and I would guess advancing the timing would make it easier to start, hence the cold idle advance solenoid. Can anyone confirm this? Has any one seen any difference in...

    Trailered home a 1989 F350 dump truck that looks great on the outside, but the 7.3 IDI is something else

    I had really good luck with one of these in my jeep and I’m thinking about getting one for my f250. https://www.stage3motorsports.com/915a550-85-16-f250-f350-eaton-detroit-truetrac-rear-diff-fits-sterling-axles-w-35-splines.html I’m sure there are cheaper options but you get the idea.

    Yet another heads thread

    I asked Justin @ R&D about this one a year ago or so. He told me back then the stock lift pump can do an 80cc no problem, but the 90cc's are hit or miss. He said some of the factory pumps can and others just don't flow enough to keep up. I would guess that condition of the lift pump probably...

    Valley pan removal

    I didn’t see a thread on this, but hoping to draw from the knowledge on this forum. I bough my first turbo kit and I’m getting ready to install it. I purchased a new valley pan / gasket with the kit and I was wondering - does the IP need to be removed to replace the valley pan or can you get...

    Voltage spike problems

    I had a similar problem, did the 3g conversion then started having an issue with the voltage fluctuating between 12-15 Volts at idle but steady at 14 when the rpm’s were above idle. I found a ground strap in bad shape and replaced it then replaced the voltage regulator on the 3g - it was good...

    how much time before 7.3 is warm? outside temp now 10*C

    Ambient temperature outside today at my location was low 40*F. I drove the truck a few miles from the house on city roads and it got up 165*F. Once i got on the interstate it warmed up to about 175*F and it doesn't get much above that until the ambient air warms up (driving unloaded). In the...

    Leaving block heater cord plugged in

    I got my block heater replaced a year or so ago and ever since when it’s plugged in for more than 30 minutes or so it starts humming. Anybody ever come across this? I suspect it’s boiling the coolant so I started leaving it plugged in for shorter durations and it seems to be quieter.

    I doubt anyone on this thread currently needs the info, but it might be helpful for anyone searching for specialty tools in the future. Most all can still be found through a good google search, they are pricy but at least still out there.

    Battery jumper packs?

    I have had great success with a NOCO GB150. A while back I had a bad battery, alternator and bad ground cable. It kept me running for a few weeks (with recharging it every few jumps) until i got the chance to figure out all the issues.
