    The never ending saga of my 6.9

    So in the typical style of my ol truck it has developed some more interesting issues. Occasionally on startup it will fire, spit and sputter then die. After 30 seconds or so of cranking it fires back up and idles like normal. It also has a pretty decent miss at higher rpms still. And the most...

    No oil pressure

    Alright bad oil change, had too many guys workin on one truck. Anyway it looks like my truck is about a quart overfull, 10 quarts of 15-40 and one quart of Lucas. I have zero oil pressure at idle, or about 1psi but it isnt a whole lot. I had 15 or so at idle before the oil change. Could being...

    80-86 F-series Guage Mounting??

    This is where I have my pyro, I wouldnt recommend it for a gauge that needs constant monitoring. Going up hills with corners equals frantically trying to find the gauge. The other three are under the dash in front of the 4x4 shifter if that gives you a picture.

    No offense but why the hell would you lower a truck? The stacks could stand to come down a little IMO

    normally aspirated EGTs

    I mounted mine in the drivers side exhaust manifold. Acceptable, anything less than max which most say is 1250°. Only way to bring down temps is to give it less fuel, more air, or add water.

    6.6/7.8 Ford diesel ?'s

    Cubans made off with it somehow and tied 55 gallon drums to it for the float over?

    normally aspirated EGTs

    When pulling big hills my truck will hit 1300° pretty quick with no smoke so that isnt exactly a good indicator. I pretty much have to watch the pyro constantly, even a dead run from 0-65 empty will get dangerous.

    Tech article for gauges

    Seems like a pretty good idea, most of em are pretty basic but it would be a good starter guide ;Sweet

    Headlight Switch?

    I had the same problem that had me running loops for a while, all it was turned out to be a messed up contact on the taillight bulb.
