    Bilstiens...not liking them.

    I can only say from my experience with an F350 CC 4wd the bags worked for me . Unloaded without the utility body in the bed, bags empty, its a pretty harsh ride. Its a one ton so its going to be stiff. A load helps alot but more body roll with it. I have on board air so its easy to adjust...

    Bilstiens...not liking them.

    I feel like running something adjustable for these trucks if you are hauling substantlial weight is the way to go. I was running the Bilstiens on my F-350. I carry a drop in utility body that adds about 3000lbs in the bed.Not top heavy like a camper but still weight. It did not squat it but rode...

    94 F350 dually drum or disc brakes?

    93didually,So you converted over to disc then used the econoline dual piston. I like the thought of that especially being OEM. Would happen to have a parts list and or part # for you conversion. Thanks a bunch

    aluminum vs. copper radiators

    My OEM rad sprung a leak about 6 years ago on the 91 so I decided to pull the trigger on a Mishimoto off of E-Bay. It was a coupe hundred less than the one I bought the previous year for the 89 that came directly from Mishimoto. The E-bay Mishimoto rad leaked from day one. Just seeping , but...

    I'm back in the IDI game!

    I am using the glowshift 3 gauge pillar mount. It definitely requires some trimming to get a decent fit. Got it in black then went down to Home Depot and found a rattle can as close to the color in a paint that works with plastic. I was pretty happy with how it turned out. A little work with a...

    Excessive Blowby/Crankcase pressure.

    A little background on this engine. An intact core motor I bought locally that I striped down to bare block. Had everything gone through and reconditioned by a reputable shop. They also installed the R&D stage one cam following the instructions it came with. Heads gone through as well with...

    Excessive Blowby/Crankcase pressure.

    Update: Finally got around to do some diagnostics to try and get to the bottom of my excessive blow-by. Ran a compression test(HF Diesel Compression Test kit) on the passenger side bank since that the side Im suspicious of. The tests were not at operating temps so I know the numbers are going...

    What should I be looking for in a Turbo search?

    For what its worth , i found the glowshift gauges not to be accurate . Mainly, I had issues with my pyrometer readings. I found them to be low for what I expected. I feel the thermocoupler is to blame. I had Glowshift Towmax gauges(boost,pyrometer,coolant) . I changed over to Issapro and...

    Excessive Blowby/Crankcase pressure.

    All the plumbing from Valve cover to catch can, catch can to intake is 1". I ran thr Banks adapter initially and thought the location on frontof the timing cover was adding to the oil in the intake. I read somewhere that there was more oil splash in that location. Just trying differnt set ups to...

    Leak down test

    Hey quickster, would it be possible to get some pics of the leak down tester you made from the HF compression tester. Sounds like this i what I need to evaluate my issues with blow-by. Thanks!

    Excessive Blowby/Crankcase pressure.

    I will definitely check under the valve covers. I have always noticed the passenger side sounded a bit different. Can you change valve guides with the head on or does it need to come off? Thanks again for the info, I feel like im closing in on it.

    Excessive Blowby/Crankcase pressure.

    Thanks for the info guys. Ill give the MMO a try. I have run a quart or so in previous oil changes . I'll give it a little more and then a good work out. Gnathv- I chose not to return oil to the crankcase because i had read the trapped oil vapors could contain impurities that might contaminate...

    Excessive Blowby/Crankcase pressure.

    Thanks quickster! Yeah, I tried going to just an RDT to keep stuff out the intake and intercooler plumbing. Serious smoke show! The amount of oil present seems to have increased in the last 5000 miles or so. Could any of this be attributed to worn valve guides? I know the motor has only 30 grand...

    Excessive Blowby/Crankcase pressure.

    Got some pics for you guys. Let me know what you think. I have tried a few different set ups to vent the crankcase and catch the oil vapors. I used a Racor CCV 4500 and the thing filtered great but the filter element was toast in a week. Totally saturated. Currently, there seems to be so much...

    Excessive Blowby/Crankcase pressure.

    Hi all. Looking for some input on my current problem. I have a rebuilt motor with about 32,000 miles on it(truck in my signature). The problem I'm experiencing is, in my opinion, excessive oil in my intake coming through my breather tube. My Crankcase is vented via passenger side valve cover to...
