    The Switch Over Has Begun

    Any of you that have moved the drivers side battery, did you change where the ground connects to the engine? Or just get a longer cable? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The Switch Over Has Begun

    Awesome, thank you! Need to make room for the BA air filter and want to use the space the battery currently sits for the most cool air. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The Switch Over Has Begun

    I am contemplating moving the drivers side battery over to the space on the fender behind the passenger battery. I have been searching hoping to find a Tech Article or thread with some information on this, but have not come up with a lot. Does anyone know what size the stock battery cables...

    The Switch Over Has Begun

    Well after way too long being a garage queen 'Lil' the F-350 has emerged from hiding and taken a few successful around town trips. The new head gaskets seem to be holding and the rest of the truck seems to be solid enough that I started on the turbo swap this weekend. I got everything from...

    Do you loosen injectors to rotate pump?

    Any chance we could get a picture of this? I am having trouble envisioning it...

    Oil Pressure Gauge

    Makes sense. I will check things out and try the alternator off the F-250 if needed.

    Oil Pressure Gauge

    So does the voltmeter show the alternators output when running? The batteries are really old and weak, I had chalked it up to them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Does this sound right?

    Not for sure, but do I hear a little more clatter and maybe even a intake (sucking) noise on the drivers side? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Oil Pressure Gauge

    Hello Gents, I know the stock gauges aren't very good, but what would explain the following? After fully warming the truck up the oil pressure needle just drops as soon as the accelerator is released. Even just barely pushing the accelerator the needle jumps back to normal. Video here:

    She runs!

    It started running a lot smoother after a bit. Injection pump was marked and put back as it came off. It is still smoking more than it should so it very well may be retarded (the timing... ;)) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    She runs!

    After way too long sitting in the garage and finally replacing the head gaskets the old girl runs! First start up below, seems to still be lots of air in the lines. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Swapping Console for Seat?

    So I am thinking of swapping my center console between the front buckets for the thrid seat. I have heard these will bolt right in. Does anyone know for a fact that this will work and what model year center seats will fit? Anyone have one laying around they want to get rid of? :D

    Valve Cover Off - Abormal Buildup?

    She has been a Driveway Queen for quite a while. I got her and there was some serious coolant bubbles in the overflow jug:puke:. So I am finally tearing into her for headgaskets, but am a bit concerned about overall state of the engine. I know very little of the maintenance history. She did...

    White Smoke on long pull?

    There were some oily looking spots on the back of the camper. Sounds like it is time for a tranny cooler. Thanks Guys!

    White Smoke on long pull?

    Anyone else have any ideas?

    White Smoke on long pull?

    Hmm, possible. It does it rarely though, only when heavily loaded and working hard. Then stops soon after the load is eased off.

    White Smoke on long pull?

    We were all loaded down with the camper on the back and were cruising up the pass on I-90 over Snoqualmie Pass when I noticed a cloud of white smoke out behind the truck. A quick check of the guages showed nothing to be worried about. Water temp at about 220, boosting at about 9, and EGT...

    Intake hat/elbow

    So has anyone actually tried it with a Banks? Maybe I need to go look under the hood again, but I can't really see why it wouldn't work :dunno

    Intake hat/elbow

    So why are you thinking it won't work? Will it interfere with something or will the plumbing just be difficult?
