    pyrometer weirdness and cold starting issue

    A few years ago I had the air issue causing starting issues, but just recently (this winter) I was plagued with similar issues. It wouldn't happen every day, but occasionally it just took a lot of cranking to get going. Turned out to be a weak battery, but it took me weeks to definitively...

    pyrometer weirdness and cold starting issue

    In regards to air intrusion did you also replace the olives (rubber compression fittings) for the hard lines coming from the filter head to IP and into the filter? The final one I've had issues with is the o-ring for the fuel heater connector, which is available through a Navistar/International...

    Steering and suspension

    Also your hop might be from drive line vibrations. The crew cab long bed's sometimes need their carrier bearing shimmed down to keep an odd vibration that sometimes feels like wheel hop due to it being very slow. I have it happen somewhere around 38MPH so I just don't hang at that speed much.

    Steering and suspension

    As to your question of where to start I recommend the RSK from Precision Metal Fab with 99-04 Super Duty springs. It has been hands down the best upgrade I've done for comfort. And someone else already mentioned poly bushings, I second that. Energy Suspension makes a great set. Lastly...

    Hydroboost Conversion

    This might be an old thread but for those attempting Hydroboost and are unlucky with modifying or finding the right pedal Hydratech has a more expensive yet total bolt in option using the standard master cylinder, firewall mounts and factory pedal assembly. This article by Four Wheeler details...

    My timing retarded

    Update. The starting issue was fuel return related. I did the whole return kit a little over 2 years ago, so it's likely that in reinstalling injectors I damaged a piece and caused an air leak. However timing was retarded with the new injector/old pump setup. So I did have to advance to get...

    Project Big Red

    285/75r16 Toyo at2. Decent but after 25k got noisy. A 265/75 will be as tall as the 235/85 but wider, might be a good compromise without being small looking. Another is the 275/70r16, lots of options though more expensive than the previous sizes. Tire size calculater is where I like to use for...

    My timing retarded

    I wasn't trying to hijack. I saw timing questions and thought this would help others fighting the same issues. Pump or injector wear adjust timing and it seemed a good place to ask since timing adjustments were being discussed. Apologies to the op, I wasn't wanting a take over...

    GREAT start to a 3 day weekend

    I did the same job last September. On our farm we've come to realise that even the best packed fresh bearings sometimes have a manufacturing defect that grossly shortens their life. Glad it wasn't a catastrophe and just an inconvenience. Shall I keep my eyes open for a spindle?

    My timing retarded

    Along these timing lines I have a question to propose. My pump and injectors were both replaced 100k miles ago, from Oregon Fuel Injection. This year I pulled and tested my injectors, 2 were bad and the other 6 were low pressure. So I replaced them, but since then have had a very hard...

    Project Big Red

    I bought the HPS Stainless T-Bolt Clamps back in January for a radiator replacement. I am very happy with the quality and Amazon has lots of size options. Not sure what clamps you have or were planning but thought I should toss the idea out. It looks really good. Personally I am very...

    2017 Oilburners Rally

    Forgive me if this is not the place to ask, but how does the location and dates for the rally's get picked? I have read through the previous year rally threads and it sounds like a kick, but sadly I can't make July as it's harvest and the distance isn't possible. That being said I would be...

    factory turbo piston vendor? In existence?

    Based on what I'm finding it looks like no rings, just wrist pin keepers. The Mahle/Clevite ring number is 14418N and that appears to be a single cylinder kit. The going consensus seems to be Total Seal rings for these engines, but if I am wrong could someone correct me with the proper rings.

    factory turbo piston vendor? In existence?

    224-3512HA is the Mahle number for the lower compression turbo pistons. 224-3511HA is the standard compression pistons. Mahle Aftermarket is the catalog listing I pulled them from, with oversize bores available. Searching the part numbers turned up lots of buying options for under $100 per set.

    Project Big Red

    We have a truck shop just down the road from me with all sorts of exhaust adaptors in stock. Anderson Bros check them out. Shipping might not be easy but it's a resource at least.

    1984 7.3 powerstroke build

    Go for the single pane. It's going to be a very rare bullnose with a single pane and PSD. Make as many unique and fancy changes as you can.

    Ujoints, spring bushings, and more

    Then I am sorry I can't be of any more help and best of luck. I do find it amazing yet obnoxious that the OBS and Bricknose don't seem that old yet finding parts can be a real needle in the haystack search for some things.

    Ujoints, spring bushings, and more

    Another, and no idea if this is any better, but Energy Suspension has their own main website with the cab chassis listed. I found some part numbers that didn't cross over to F-350 so it might be worth looking.

    Ujoints, spring bushings, and more

    Energy Suspension Parts is where I found all of my suspension bushings. I took a guess with the rear shackle molded or sleeved option and got it wrong the first time. If you have the ability, undo the rear shackle to at least confirm what you have. FWIW I really noticed and liked the change...

    1984 7.3 powerstroke build

    I'll be watching this. Awesome idea! I have a couple friends that think along the same lines, though they are bricknose fans and wanted to attempt a similar swap. Best of luck and I sincerely hope this ends up working as well as it sounds.

    Which cam?

    If you find those please post. I would really like to see them in comparison to each other.

    Which cam?

    I am in a similar boat as to making a cam decision and await typ4's article. My first, and still current, leaning was towards the R&D stage 1 cam as it was tailored around forced induction. But sadly that's about the only recommendation I can add, and it's not much of one. I do want to point...

    Dreaded tire sizes

    I just replaced my radiator with a mishimoto along with hoses and thermostat. Got the rad and t-stat from Amazon cheap. It was a decent fit, there was some minor filing I had to do to get the rad in properly. So far I am very happy with the result. Again just my opinion for what it's worth. I...
