    Turbo Boost and highway speeds.

    Op mentioned he has a 4spd manual, so no OD, would need a ZF 5 speed to have OD. 1993 F350 Crew Cab Dually XLT 7.3 Factory IDIT w/Banks Sidewinder 5spd Manual

    Turbo Boost and highway speeds.

    My 1994 F350 7.3 with Banks Sidewinder (waste gated, empty crew cab dually, 5th gear/over drive, 4.10 rear end.) makes around 5-6 lbs of boost cruising at 65 mph, builds up to 10 psi (waste gate limit) fairly quick at that speed if i put my foot in throttle. 1993 F350 Crew Cab Dually XLT 7.3...

    Anyone put both batteries on one side?

    Johnson Controls (mega sized battery company) bought out Optima Batteries... and then moved production from the US to Mexico. Not surprisingly the complaints about short life started soon after... 1993 F350 Crew Cab Dually XLT 7.3 Factory IDIT w/Banks Sidewinder 5spd Manual

    Tire shop: rant/question...

    This ^^ The sticker in the door is for factory tires running at max gvw. For cars it is usually fine as empty vs gross is some what close. I did the 'chalk test' and found on my dually empty, rear around 32 is ideal. Loaded short trips, I increase to the sticker value, going on vacation /...

    Front End Alignment Question

    Spec sheet showes everything within Ford's specs, including camber, castor, and toe in. These tires are new less than a thousand miles. I have a new driveway so you can really see the concrete marks on them showing the contact pattern which is identical to the wear pattern on my previous set...

    Big Ugly goes to rehab

    If you get tired of those comfy bucket seats, I have a factory bench seat that I'll swap you that matches your interior color perfectly. [emoji1787] 1993 F350 Crew Cab Dually XLT 7.3 Factory IDIT w/Banks Sidewinder 5spd Manual

    Big Ugly goes to rehab

    I ended up replacing my carpet, one of the easiest interior upgrades I've done... would have been more work to get all the stains out than just to replacing it [emoji16] 1993 F350 Crew Cab Dually XLT 7.3 Factory IDIT w/Banks Sidewinder 5spd Manual

    Engine Temperature Light

    Thanks for the clarification, I noticed my water in fuel light does come on for the test, so it is just my temperature light not illuminating... Need to slow down and troubleshoot it. 1993 F350 Crew Cab Dually XLT 7.3 Factory IDIT w/Banks Sidewinder 5spd Manual

    Master cylinder wiring harness?

    This switch is a pressure switch that is inline in one of the brake lines near the frame rail and the driver's floor board. At least that is where it is on my 1993. 1993 F350 Crew Cab Dually XLT 7.3 Factory IDIT w/Banks Sidewinder 5spd Manual

    Engine Temperature Light

    I think the lightbulb just went on for me (pun intended [emoji16]) My temp light has not been coming on during cranking. As you describe it the flow of electricity reverses between test on crank and trigger by the temp switch... I replaced my dash bulbs with LEDs which are polarity...

    Correct AC orifice Tubes

    Read somewhere that the 94+ factory R134 systemd usually used the red tube. That's what I installed in mine when i rebuilt the entire system and it is colder now than with the old system 'converted' to R134 (had the blue tube). However it's not quite an apples to apples comparison either as I...

    Tire shop: rant/question...

    Checked the next day and all the lug nuts had to be retorqued.... and then noticed they dented up my center caps be letting the impact socket jump around the bolt :( Anyone know where to get center caps for the factory 1993 alloy dually wheels? Seems like i can't find anyone that makes them...

    Tire shop: rant/question...

    Getting new tires on my truck always ends up with me getting pissed off. Every shop I've ever tried just doesn't give a crap. If it's not my alloy dually rims being drug across the damn tire changer putting gouges in the wheels (which they always deny claiming it was already there, even when...

    Mine still works, 200k+ miles... however my temp switch recently stuck in the on position so i disconnected it until i get a new one. I live on the gulf coast, 60 degrees is cold :) truck starts fine without it. FYI, the temp switch also engages the cold timing advance in the IP, so if you...
