    If you wanted to rebuild a 7.3 idi, increase it's performance w/o a turbo, what would you do?

    a 6.4 is a hand grenade, fun while it lasts but eventaully go boom. way too much money for me, but man they are fast. anyways back on topic the 6.9/7.3 idi was developed in a time in which n/a diesels and 55mph speed limits were the norm. The were also diseigned to keep up with the...

    085 better spooling, zf5, and intercooled

    according to justin at r&d the ww2 picks up about 2 psi boost, faster spool up, and 10 ft lbs increase in torque on the dyno. so a pretty decent upgrade imo oh and you cant forget the best part, better whistle!!!

    085 better spooling, zf5, and intercooled

    i dig it man! you might be able to gain some egt drop by relocating the air filter housing away from the motor so you dont heat soak the air filter, while gaining flow. Next you might look into a cheap amazon turbo titanium turbo blanket to keep heat in and keep spool up. Also can a ww2 fit in...

    Shock Recommendation for Towing....1993 F250HD Extended Cab 7.3

    bilsteins 4600 work well for a otherwise stock truck after that my next suggestion would be fox 2.0s they are incredibly smooth. i agree and disagree that 3.55s are tall. yes they are tall, however if you are on a stock sized tire, especially if it is 4wd you will do just fine. 4wd matters...

    7.3 IDI ZF5 south bend clutch help!

    South bend clutches are drilled for 13'' clutches. That is part of how they get better torque and hp ratings as well as better tow capacities/ratings. The clutches have more surface area. It is no different than how a 12.25''(which is what everyone refers to as a 12'' clutch) holds more than a...

    Sump

    as someone who has installed sumps on other diesels, there is no need. these engines do not command enough fuel flow that it would gain you anything. Technically the fuel selector valve becomes a restriction on a obs powerstroke around 500-600hp unfortunately no idi is yet there You may have...

    Portable Inflator suggestions

    Original early copper brass radiators vs aluminum

    @FrozenMerc is spot on older copper/brass radiators are more efficient at shedding heat due to the material construction. However due to the age and hear cycling they are prone to leaking. They also have 1/2" fin spacing. Modern aluminum radiators typically use 3/8" or smaller fin spacing...

    The cooling upgrades work!

    @FrozenMerc I absolutely agree, I was not happy to be working my truck that hard. @Black dawg I agree, a srw truck is too small, a 3/4 ton is too small, heck a f450 would be undersized. I talked with the dodge driver before all of this, and we settled on 30k total truck and trailer weight. Well...

    Portable Inflator suggestions

    i run a napa maxitrak 12v 10.9 cfm (legit pulls 80 amps) and a 4 tire inflator i built for my truck because it is so long compared to the readily available ones normally made around jeeps, or other short wheel base vehicles. My truck has on board air and a tank for the airbags and i could air...

    i was pulling 1st gear low range 4wd to pull 50k from a dead stop up the grade(starting already on the grade) until i could get it to a pullout and unload the broken dodge, and hook onto the trailer, then once i got to a flat spot i put it in high range, started in first and got up to 3rd gear...

    The cooling upgrades work!

    Babe got pulled out of her winter garage slumber to rescue a Dodge. The Dodge blew a radiator hose, and later diagnosed as a blown head gasket, towing a small trailer up the continental divide in Butte, Mt. I started out finding the split upper radiator hose on initial inspection, found a...
