    Hard Start - Glow Plugs / Air Intrusion Help!

    How are the glow plugs holding up? How’s the bandaided (cut) hardline holding up on your 7000km journey? Really I just wanna hear about the snowboarding as the Rockies down here are light on snow. (Telluride) I have dreams of traveling in my van just as you are.

    Looking at Diff Lockers & LSD

    My factory LSD was not working worth a dang. My house is on a hill with a small shallow ditch next to the driveway. It will unload most of the weight off one wheel and my van had trouble. Went searching i found a post by u2slow. I followed it and it worked for me. Dropped the fluid, put in...

    Which swap for 93 f350

    What gears are in your ‘08 axles? What about a IDI build (350/700) and use a USShift controller for the 5R. IF they will bolt together. I prefer to stay mechanical but both the powerstroke and the 24v are proven. Otherwise I would access your time and do what gets you going the quickest. Me, I...

    Looking at Diff Lockers & LSD

    @parkergn one thing you might try as I learned from @u2slow is to drop the diff fluid, put in new WITHOUT the friction modifier. Tightened my LSD right up, and works great. Then I further followed his advice and go find a gravel spot and turn circles each way. If the rear end inside tire...

    Who's smarter?

    I grew up helping on a Hereford ranch doing everything on horses (river bottom land) and loved it. Also helped on an Angus ranch that did everything on 4-wheelers. I always preferred doing it on horses. Much respect for keeping the old way alive!!

    Who's smarter?

    Photos? @Jesus Freak wants to see the cup holders (old joke) Are the cooled seats AC or just a fan blowing cabin air?

    Transmission Gearing vs Rear Differential Gearing Question

    A real geek of an engineer once told me to get all your gearing done as close to the engine as possible for efficiencies sake. Besides Ford’s 4.30 gearing option in their super duty gas rigs, it sure seems everyone is going for lots of trans gears and lower numerical diff gearing. So it must...

    It will also help hear the music with bad hearing. I highly recommend following Nero’s advice. Makes a heck of a difference

    Using Glow Plugs to super tune the engine

    I read a lot of that thread and by God, I ain’t got the time. @IDIBOBS how do you get 25 mpg outta a 7.3L engine? Best I have achieved is 21mpg at 55 solid with no stopping. High elevation (WY) flatland.

    stereo installation

    I use the website for crutchfield or sonic electronix. Personally I use amazon to search stuff only and then go to the direct website to avoid giving bezos anymore Effin money. I wish a sink hole would open up and swallow the billionaires club. MJ, are you looking only for a head unit, or what...

    Can’t fully push in clutch pedal all of a sudden

    I think your transfer case has convinced your trans to join in on the revolt! :backoff I’d be Leary of their plans tonight when they bum rush the engine and force it to join the resiliency. :fight: Best to sleep under your pickup with one eye open. And keep that TDI parked outta earshot...

    Testing 4x4

    I agree with Nero, can you get someone to help and look at the linkage while they shift it in 4-hi. Should be able to do it with the engine off, in neutral and use body weight to rock it. Slight incline can help. Then if it isn’t engaging, try manually engaging it under the pickup to find...

    Small gas engine additives

    I used to use only the marine grade (blue) stabil and I don’t own a boat. Reason, well I can’t remember :rotflmao but I know I had one. Once I found out it only keep gas good for a year and red is good for 2 years, I switched to red. Personally, based on what fire departments do, I keep...
