Just because you have new fuel returns, doesn't mean you won't have leaks, air or otherwise. It's possible one or more caps are not seated correctly. Clear vinyl tubing is your friend for diagnosing air leaks.
You can seal up the diode and wiring in FIT 321 or equivalent heat shrink. It has a glue inside that melts and makes the assembly strong. This is a good mod, and I've had one in the Moose Truck for years. I also added a circuit that powers a blue indicator light on my dash when the circuit is...
Great conversations going, and please.... I'm not the only guru here by far! Listen to these other guys as well. A little disagreement helps point out issues that might not otherwise be discussed, as long as its all kept civil. That Banks literature is interesting. What isn't clear, and what...
All good and valid discussion. We do get sold on the idea that a wastegated turbo is better off the line, and that is partially true. What it really means is that the exhaust housing is sized too small for the engine that it is on. That's a truth. It's done on purpose. But the real reason...
Eeesh! Why did you do that? That's totally unnecessary, but I guess your wrench wasn't bent right. Refer to this chart and you should be OK. http://www.engineershandbook.com/Tables/torque.htm
We stock only the Beru ones. I've not heard of them becoming unavailable. Yet. I'd replace all 8. If you have a brand that is swelling, don't mess around!
Wish I could tell you. I used to have all kinds of nice pics with measurements on Webshots, but that ship has sailed. I can't really get to it to measure it without a lot of work. LOL
I've never had a problem with the 4K/1K cheapo cherry picker, even when the engine is mounted to the transmission. I do believe they have to have a 10 or 20% excess capacity to keep themselves out of liability issues. The weight is only part of the equation, and the tipping factor is the...
Wastegated turbos typically run higher EGT's even though they make a lot of boost. If you want good boost without high EGT's, you have to be willing to sacrifice some off the bottom end, unless you go with a ball bearing turbo like my Moose Boost unit.
Scott is right about the minimal cost difference. It USED to be accurate to say a PSD was more expensive, back when the aftermarket was not as supportive, and injectors weren't a dime a dozen. Now that said, there are several different levels of "reman" 6.0 injectors, some of which have new...
Clear vinyl tubing is your friend. Install a short length of that in different places in your return system, and you will find your leak. Just be careful not to introduce new ones as you go. LOL
I understand your frustration. Here's the thing. If you own a 6.9, and it still has the stock head bolts and gaskets, WHEN you replace your head gaskets is the question. Not IF. This has been proven by 17 years of observation in these forums, and gathering what today we call conventional...
Thanks for posting the feedback Heath! I am in the process of getting my custom castings made to make installs go smoothly. Such projects take longer than I would like, but the end result will be worth it.

If you find the red HELP cards at your autoparts store, the #14041 contains the plastic bushing, the same one that Ford sells individually.
