    What's a good lower radiator hose?

    I’m pretty sure continental has part numbers that are specific. I ordered an upper and lower today, we’ll see if they actually have the spring inside them.

    Radiator advice?

    So I ordered a spectre aluminum/plastic tank rad for 190$ at Summit with a Stant 13psi cap. Overall I’m rather impressed with the look, the cooling passages are much larger than the old copper one, and there’s only one small dent... the box looks like WW3 though. I’ll probably install it over...

    New to me 94 IDIT rescue.

    That’s awesome man, looks like you found a gem. Lord knows my ZF has seen some crap in its day. And I hope you get the death wobble figured out! I’ve found a 2.25” intercooler pipe kit on eBay for like 70$ and it’s tempting me.

    Lift options F350

    Customsuspension.com has some f350 springs for sale right now, somewhere around 470-525$ 2”,3”, and 4” lift springs. I’d buy those, a drop pitman arm for a 4” lift and Tuff Country 4” block and you’re good.

    Lift options F350

    https://customsuspension.com/collections/ford-f350-1980-98-front-lift-springs They’ve got some lifted springs for sale, apparently a quality company. I’d give them a shot if I hadn’t already ordered my Tuff Country 2” lift springs, probably better customer service too!

    Hey that’s a sweet truck, I’m thinking about giving my brick nose the same paint job! Can I see that intercooler setup it has?!

    Radiator advice?

    What brand? Murray? I believe towcat has 3 he runs in his vehicles and has no problem. So I might look into that now.

    Opinions needed! Ford factory IDI turbo kit

    When I bought my stock Ford turbo I just tossed this into it and it works fine. Haven’t noticed any issues. I’d say haggle down to 250 and that should be a nice setup!

    Wicked Wheel 2 - performance reviews?

    If it isn’t a hassle and if you have time; I’d appreciate it if you could take a picture of what it looks like on one of your rigs. Anytime is fine, I’ll probably do this when I attempt the intercooler and rad replacement in the coming month. Thank you!

    Radiator advice?

    I’ve heard some people freak out about the 2 row radiators, but nobody I believe has actually ran them. The logic sounds grounded, like more flow and room for liquid to cool at a faster rate.

    Radiator advice?

    Thank you! I’ll definitely read the trials, I believe I asked you about your lift springs and then had my own problems with them... but that’s just the TTB woes.

    Wicked Wheel 2 - performance reviews?

    That’s probably so, I turned the rod back a few turns and I believe the highest I hit is like 8PSI. Everyone talks about wiring the waste gate shut, but I’d need to see a picture to get what they mean.

    Radiator advice?

    I’ll definitely heed that warning, apparently champion will send a new rad if there’s a defect. But just in case I won’t throw the old rad away.

    Wicked Wheel 2 - performance reviews?

    Finally someone talking about this, yeah I only hit near 7psi currently and I’d like to spool sooner, just never saw an actual psi gain advertised with the WW.

    Radiator advice?

    Thanks guys! I appreciate the feedback, just read through some of the old radiator threads and wanted to see if y’all still back the 3 rows.

    Radiator advice?

    Not to bring up a dead topic, but my truck’s radiator is starting to leak, the radiator looks worse for wear, and summer is approaching. In SC the summer temps are typically 90+ so I’d like to replace it with an aluminum rad. Champion has a 3 core and 4 core for the application. I don’t tow...

    What size tire y'all running

    The previous 265/75r16 vs 315/75r16 The mud tires are called Nankang, off brand with great reviews. Great traction in mud, typical road whine.

    Turbo questions

    I guess he ran a road draft tube or something. Basically these engines create quite the blow by and its then routed back to the intake. I’m guessing he just dumped it from a tube. Some people do it, I just let my truck burn it; not going to say there’s a right or wrong because people will freak...

    7.3 idi 1993 sclb 300-400hp

    IDIs are great and very sturdy engines... at 150-210hp, run too much heat and abuse them and they’ll die. High compression and mechanical injection don’t just give huge hp numbers with minimal work. I’d definitely say go with the electronically controlled diesels. Now R&D will help you, but it’s...

    Garrett T04E13

    Hmmm... if it’s free then pick it up. However I think it’s probably out of its efficiency on an IDI, you’d need to push a good bit of fuel and rpms to get boost. I’d slap a S200 with a .81 exhaust housing and a small intercooler on it.

    Garrett T04E13

    I have no experience with that turbo, yet I would say just look for a stock Garrett, ATS .88, Banks, Hypermax, or R&D IDI setup. R&D uses an S200 for their stage 1 setup, you can find them on EBay pretty readily. Make sure to look at the measurements too. Good luck!!

    Turbo talk

    I'm not planning on performing any turbo work soon, yet I would like to know what size intercooler piping would work with the stock 93-94 turbos. Would 2" allow decent flow to the intercooler? I'm planning on using a 2.5" mustang intercooler from CXR.

    Turbo talk

    I've seen some s200 turbos on EBay with available .81 exhaust housings, how do you think that would perform?

    What size tire y'all running

    The F350 has the dana 60 and slight positive arch spring, thus it sits near 2" higher and has a taller rear block.
