    7.3 IDI is a turbo worth it?

    For me, it would be a dt360 especially since Stauffers makes a zf5 adapter kit.

    Axle Pivot Bushing

    I used an air chisel. Took 2 min. I was replacing my leaf springs so I am not sure - they were off. I dropped it down, air chiseled it out, and jacked it back into the socket. That was the hardest part, jacking the new bushing back into the sockets. Lots of grease to squeeze it in there and a...

    Injector Pop Tester

    My eBay came broken. Lol someone else said the same with the one they bought. As usual with low quality Chinese goods - it's the luck of the draw.

    Time for new front springs?

    It's the joint in the middle of the ttb axle; basically under the oil pan.

    Wicked Wheel vs 60 - 1

    Now, this is just what I did and I honestly don't know the real answer. I have access to the Garrett engineers (I can explain over private message). They helped me with my kit and because the Garrett part numbering is a nightmare. I used a 088 center section I rebuilt along with the...

    NA to Turbo woes: boost level, EGT, coolant temperature, studs?

    6.9 R&D stage 1 kit, T4 .59 turbine/60-1 cold side, Omega Moose, intercooler. I've run this way for a year now. I've had my EGT over 1000 once and I have tried. I was headed up Black Canyon hill (if you know AZ) I hit 1200 going 75 mph, and it was 112 out. For engine temp I do not know...

    Wicked Wheel vs 60 - 1

    For the 60-1 wheel, the machining is only required if you keep the same compressor housing and backing plate. You are putting a larger compressor wheel (a 60-1) into a compressor housing meant for a smaller compressor wheel - the machining is to fit it. The alternative is to buy a 60-1...

    7.3 IDI is a turbo worth it?

    6.9 og head gaskets as far as I know and I regularly hit 10 to 12 (daily). Been that way for a year and no issues. My clutch slips and when it does it will hit 14 which is where my tial wastegate is set. I put a Cummins in a 73 k10. Basic swap, no luxuries like ac etc. I sold it because the...

    Are you already in the valley? I'll send you an IM with my call. I've got plenty of tools down here if you need anything. I am in Scottsdale - Hayden and Indian Bend.

    Snap-On MT257 questions

    I think it is just like timing a gasser. Set the advance on the light to 8.5, bring the truck up to 2k and check timing. With the light advance set to 8.5 and flashing on the crank, the pulley mark should read at the top dead center mark. There was a video of someone doing the timing around...

    87 to 91 Instrument Panel Schematic

    Thank you! I'm working on a intellitronix instrument panel. If I can get this looking half way decent I'll post some pics. I am using an extra gauge panel and ss overlay I got from ebay. https://www.intellitronix.com/product-page/create-a-dash-universal-bargraph-gauge-kit

    87 to 91 Instrument Panel Schematic

    Does anyone have a schematic (or know where to find it in the manual) for the big plug that plugs into the back of the instrument panel on the 87 to 91? I have a manual but couldn't find it in there.

    ats 085 help needed

    I had the same problem (different kit but same issue) and ended up unbolting the manifolds. Gave plenty of room. It's that or the cab.

    ats 085 help needed

    Maybe unbolt the cab and put a couple 2x4s under it for more room?

    Gunson Diesel Injector Pulse pickup.

    Mine came with a 6mm. I'll see if I can check the P/N on the box - wonder if that made a difference.

    Did I get a good deal?

    Yeah, just commercial and may be limited to operations in LA county - I'm not sure. But don't confuse a registration fee with what it takes to be compliant to even register. A lot of shippers charge extra to ship to CA because commercial diesel trucks are required to be retrofitted with...

    Did I get a good deal?

    Lol! Half of them advertise their commercial diesel trucks (dt360s, 466s, 3208s, Detroit 71, 53, list goes on) in AZ trying to get full value as if we don't know they can't even register those trucks in CA so these guys are stuck taking cents on the dollar for what they would be worth. I feel...

    Did I get a good deal?

    Totally agree. Compared to what these cost in the 2008 to 2011 era. Plus, at that time, everyone had a hard-on Cummins and these blocks were almost free. On Dodges, none are around because the motor lasted but not was surrounded it - or someone already ripped the motor out and junked the rest.

    Did I get a good deal?

    Wow, those prices are ridiculous. I wonder what they actually get. According to the kbb iny area a 1997 that has an average 168k miles, 4x4, super cab, lifted, in excellent shape is $7,600 avg price.

    C6 Flexible Dipstick

    Can't speak about the transmission but I put a Lokar braided oil dipstick in. Had to modify the pan connection a bit (compression fitting to npt) but worked fine and zero leaks.
