    More engine power "research"

    @Noiseydiesel I disagree with you after using the obs solutions mount kit I have installed a 6.0 trans cooler and a full size 7.3 intercooler in the front of a obs powerstroke. Yes there are differences but you do have the roof for a intercooler and a massive trans cooler. Idk about your...

    Legitimate turbo option???

    Yes you certainly could do a turbo kit like he has. Rayjay turbo kits for idis did something similar And so did gm with the 6.5s However if you notice he mentioned many of the issues that buying a turbo kit for these often addresses Plugging the 1" hole at the back of the intake, turbo oil...

    Repeatedly bad u joint

    Is the yolk damaged? Twisted or worn? Maybe causing it some movement before breaking? Pics would be helpful to a cheap angle finder from harbor freight would also be helpful for checking angles pinion and trans/tacse output angles should be the inverse of each other or darn close

    Loss Prevention

    If a 4x4 (and why wouldn't it be, as every real truck is ) throw the tcase in neutral. I have gotten myself with this before and it took me several minutes to figure out why it wouldnt go in gear.... And I did it in the first place

    washer hose routing

    If you live in a cold climate and have a manual trans you can route the hose thru the trans cooler to have heated washer fluid . Stock it uses vacuum hose routed up the fender, over the brake booster and makes a 90* by way of a plastic 90* at the wiper motor on all trucks 91 and older

    Weird dash wiring gremlins

    I'm sure everyone is on the edge of their seats waiting for a resolution. It was a bad marker light socket. The socket internally had rusted the ground. It was then trying to ground through the turn signal system thus lighting the dash indicators. What made me look there was one front marker...

    Weird dash wiring gremlins

    I recently bought a 87 f250 6.9 4 speed extended cab long bed 4x4 n/a Lots of hacked up wiring and things hooked in to weird places When I got it the brake controller was hooked into the power wire of the brake light switch, backfeeding and causing brake lights to be on any time the battery...

    Porting idi heads

    @chillman88 is spot on. Adding to it. Most diesels when rolling coal are actually about 18:1 afr, with normal driving in the 25-40:1 ratio, and can run as lean as 400:1 The leaner the better fuel eco

    Thoughts on Performance upgrades/direction/Cummins?

    @Black dawg my upgraded cooling fan makes it possible to keep these idis cool even with double or more than stock power

    Thoughts on Performance upgrades/direction/Cummins?

    I 100% agree with @Nero and @snicklas Yes a 12v is a more desirable motor and easier to make power, and capable of making 1000hp. But for what you are asking a idi will do every bit of your checklist and do it cheaper. On the west coast a 300k 12v is 3500$ no trans no truck just motor. When my...

    Turbo kit mfg's

    I wouldn't spend money on a hypermax they leave a good bit to be desired Idiperformance.com also sells new turbo kits. If r&d is too much I would look for a used turbo kit and depending on condition have the turbo rebuilt. Used kits can be had for about 1000 My preference is ats 093 or factory...

    Decisions.....Decisions.....35's or 37's??

    My suggestion is 35 is the largest tire I would run with 3.55s If running 37s go 4.10s that will be effectively the same ratio as 3.55s and 33s With 3.55s and 35s yes it drops 100 rpm but the motor does have to work harder because you are pushing more surface area down the road, at the same...

    getting hot

    Put a real gauge on it and go from there, the factory gauge is incredibly inaccurate . Put a stant rad cap on it from napa(house brand is stant) And is the fan clutch locking ever? If not likely bad. First place is still a real gauge

    Is there any mechanical difference between 158 and 175 hp?

    If it's still gutless, but It feels like it's running properly, as in it always has the same amount of power vs the power comes and goes, that is a n/a idi My suggestion find a turbo kit. Makes a huge difference Helps even more if you start making about 10-12 psi over what most kits are...

    Is there any mechanical difference between 158 and 175 hp?

    Yes the engine is the same They change the calibrations on the ip to not produce as much heat /fuel (egts) in higher elevations How many miles on the pump and injectors? Do you have a egt gauge? If so you can likely turn the pump up and get more power out of it, unless the pump is wearing out...
