    Terrible news! I now need a new pulley for it, I'm not sure it it was my friend kinda messing with it or maybe It was this trucks vaccume problem, pulley maybe slipping on itself, but when we sprayed it all down with wd 40 And went to the store we came back and the pulley was perfectly sheered...

    Lift options F350

    Is the truck currently lifted 4 inches in picture? Do you think it's rough country springs or the shocks causing a stiff ride? You don't happen to have the old springs by chance?? I'm mainly on pavement but also use logging roads known and again that can get a little rough.

    Cross country roadtrip - Oregon to Pennsylvania

    Do you have a mufflee on your truck truck? Maybe a chunk of soot just decided to leave your exhaust? I know when I put a used diesel mufflwr on my truck when I first started it and drove I thought I was rolling coal for some reason but I figured out it was just some soot deposits coming loose...

    Cross country roadtrip - Oregon to Pennsylvania

    I'm from Oregon also, I notice even just going up over the cascades some serious increase in smoke, especially when I was n/a lol it's likely altitude. What's your smoke levels egts climb fast when starving for air

    Lift options F350

    Does rough country really ride that stiff? I was kinda hoping to hear I could just buy springs, pitman arm and shocks not totally remanifacture the whole front end but I also want to do it somewhat right without totally breaking the bank on it lol I want a slight lift im sitting basically level...

    Isn't there a bunch of modification for that? Or is it bolt in stuff?

    Lift options F350

    i want to lift my truck some but don't know if I want 4 inch or 6 inch or just a couple more inches with a shackle kit or helper springs. It's leveled out on 315's right now almost anyway I got 2 inches in the front from a leveling kit but it's those "mini leaf packs". If anyone has a kit for...

    First impression towing with 6.9 NA

    The throttle cable should be checked i never really thought about it till I rememberes my gutless bronco. Saw a video online one day and rememined me how I fixed my broncos power problem. It only had like 40% throttle usage on that thing lol then I thought about my truck you could put something...

    7.3 idi 1993 sclb 300-400hp

    R and d idi and a credit card lol or more realistically add a not stock style turbo, a intercooler, studs, larger pump and probably stage1 injectors. And it will do alright. But it's defiantly not a 6.0 with a tuner and light mods status but it will do good. Probably not hitting 300hp but torque...

    Low boost

    Also after fuel pump change my pressure is now constant at 5.5 psi and needle doesn't bounce while idling or drop with throttle. And when I turn off the truck the pressure stays so I think my check valve was bad in my pump. It was only like a year old too.

    Low boost

    More recent update. I have "modified" my throttle cable. Removed the spring and removed all the plastic covering where the spring used to sit I can post pictures soon to make I think more clear. But now I have 100% throttle before I guess I only had like 70% estimated and now I have 14 psi wot...

    No giddyup

    Small Holley red fuel pump from auto stores is a gasoline transfer pump. The green Holley pump is a diesel TRANSFER pump not adiquit for driving a idi. Yes it will run but no power. If you have no black smoke you don't have any extra fuel and your burning It all. You should have at least a puff...

    Low boost

    Today took it for highway run and I've concluded it's fueling issues. I got 12 psi out of it this time and it still cleared up. I only had 10 before the change. Something is benign restricted before my lift pump I think. It's got to be front tank issues or fsv issues. My rear tank is out f...

    Valve cover gasket, I think

    Just replace the gasket, the rear bolt isn't that bad I just lay on my motor and use a wrench on it only takes a couple turns before I can twist it out by hand or a nut driver. Valves covers aren't suppose to be all that tightened down

    Low boost

    UPDATE! Changed out lift pump and line before pump, still now boost low power, but my fuel pressure guage reads very steady and at like 5.5 psi with almost no drop upon reving. I'm thinking something is wrong with my front tank. Or fuel valve. My rear tank is not in use due to leaking it is dry...

    Low boost

    Hopefully nothing in the pump it's Not very old only like 1 year from r and d 90cc. I still haven't even had a chance to change my lift pump out been dealing with wayyy to much other life stuff right now unfortunately my truck will have to suffer some for now.

    Low boost

    So another symptom not yet thought about much is if I cruise around town in like 2nd or 3rd at 2000 rpms plus my truck sounds very clattery almost surging and finicky. Doesn't seem to like that much to keep a steady speed with no load on it. I'm not sure if that's normal or not but I don't know...

    Ticking and Intermittent Valve Noises

    So ticking is back just as it was before.. it seems to clear up if I go on the highway and "blow it out" for a minute then it's non existent. It's more happening when running around town idling everywhere. I did notice something strange though relating to my other thread with low boost. My truck...

    Clutch problem

    Mine came from Carolina clutch and it's still holding well. Saw 20 psi on my last turbo no slips and is now holding now with your factory set up and intercooler 90cc and stage1's at 10psi(current unknown issues with something somewhere for low boost)

    opinions on cab lights

    Yeah and they are cheap if you don't like a set of them try another for like 4 dollars off eBay I have tons of random led bulbs in different colors lol
  25. pelky350

    opinions on cab lights

    Black with tinted and led amber bulbs. Led will be plenty bright enough. If not then get better led bulbs and instal. Black and black and black would be a clean look. In my opinion anyway to each his own. Maybe even get clear front marker lights tinted and add the same amber led bulbs.
