    Alternate air filter ideas for OLD banks sidewinder kit?

    Ive got an original banks sidewinder turbo kit for the 7.3, with the big rectangular box that acts as the air filter and turbo piping. I like the box, I think it looks nice and all but the air filter for it is $90. Instead of spending $90 I’m thinking my best option is to put together some...

    Tire chains or off-road tires for occasional mud

    This s I think this is the way for me, along with a winch it’s cost effective and should get me out of nearly any situation with enough shoveling thanks for the tip on the cams !

    Is it worth taking chances on junkyard ZF5s?

    With the junkyard prices out here I have been heavily considering start Doesn’t sound too hard Are the $300 Luk conversion kits decent? I rarely ever tow more than 6k so a south bend doesn’t seem worth it. Is the clutch something like the injection pump that needs to be a reputable brand?

    Is it worth taking chances on junkyard ZF5s?

    Up here in central Michigan rusted out 90s-00s ford truck are a dime a dozen in the scrap yards, most have a whole section for OBS fords. I can get a used zf5 for $70-100 bucks pretty much anywhere, most with a 30 day warranty. Looking at the big block gasser trans, seems people like the 1st and...

    Turbo

    Night and day difference towing turbo vs NA. On a trip back from alaska we had a 7.3NA f250 and my turbo f350 with a blown dual mass flywheel, and had to tow a classic gladiator on a uhaul trailer. Even with the busted trans the turbo truck got over double the mileage and could actually make...

    Tire chains or off-road tires for occasional mud

    I’d never go over 10-15 with them, I’m not off-roading the truck, just worried about nasty roads leading up to BLM land / forest roads for camping. I’ve also been looking at ”truck claws”, or a diy version made of C channel and ratchet straps. Not too much info on these though, but the idea...

    Tire chains or off-road tires for occasional mud

    is 8k really enough to pull these truck out of the mud? I got mine stuck and had trouble moving it with a tractor

    Tire chains or off-road tires for occasional mud

    When I purchased my truck it came with 5 brand new stock size Bridgestone dueller AT tires. Tires are great on the road but I get stuck on wet grass and in mud my Impreza can walk through. The truck will primarily be used as a camper whether I’m 4 wheeling or on vacation, and I need it to be...

    Too loud?

    What do you mean by insulating the oil pan? Does that quiet down the engine noise from the outside? I'm planning on soundproofing my fenders and hood to make it sound a little less like the schoolbus that it is. You have to yell next to my truck, you can talk next to my friends LB7 My banks...

    The best budget stater?

    Depending on your local store, you can have free brakes for life. Some oreilys will tell you to do it. If you want the best starter possible I'd suggest finding a semi truck starter re builder, mine was done for $180 by a shop in Anchorage, truck cranks perfectly

    How to check injection pump health?

    If WMO does wear out the IP/ injectors, how short does it cut the life? Even if the life is cut by 20k miles (compared to 100k service life), I would save $8234 when paying $1.60 a gallon, including a new IP/Injectors after 100k, replacing pump at 80k. Would save around $12,233 over 100k miles...

    How to check injection pump health?

    Planning on washing, then filter down to 5 micron, then use a centrifuge like in the pic below to finish the oil. May run the diesel/oil mix through as well after heating. I have a plan for it using an electric motor or maytag engine and a power steering pump as my oil pump. Not sure how great...

    How to check injection pump health?

    If it ends up needing injectors should I get the cheaper ones if I'm doing WMO? From what I understand the rockauto injectors wont be pressure matched, unlike moose. Is WMO bad for it? Everything i've read says a 60/40 mix is just fine for these dinosaur engines

    How to check injection pump health?

    Truck has 225k or 325k miles on it (maybe even 125k who knows), injection pump is visually new, and has a name from a shop in Alaska on it, but I'm not sure how good it is. Truck runs great though. Injectors are apparently new but at the very least they didn't use a new install kit on them since...

    The best budget stater?

    I always figure for easier to replace stuff like that the best part is the one with the best warranty. My imprezas axles love to blow out and autozone replaces them for free every time since I got the lifetime warranty

    Rustproofing opinions? Converter vs wire wheel

    Is this easily topcoated? If i could needle scale / wire wheel then prime and topcoat and be all set that would be awesome

    Rustproofing opinions? Converter vs wire wheel

    Oil spray + dirt road has been tempting, there's just not much info about it on the internet

    Rustproofing opinions? Converter vs wire wheel

    Damn that's nice. Sounds like OSPHO / naval jelly top coated with rustoleum will hold me over until I can tear down my truck like that.
