    The Official "Show Us Your Ride" pictures of member's trucks thread.

    turbo's help tremendously with high elevation thin air. Hypermax made a van body turbo kit I think they might still but they are spendy. R&D has done a couple van body turbos as well. A 7.3 idi will safely handle 14psi of boost pressure from the turbo without head studs that's a huge kick in...

    Failed 26 year old original db2, what’s inside? What goes wrong?

    I will pull it apart and check it out. It's out of the truck now I swapped one of my spare pumps in the only issue with that one is it will high idle normal for the first few minutes after a cold start then it will jump to 2000 rpm or so did that in the last truck I had it in too but if I...

    Failed 26 year old original db2, what’s inside? What goes wrong?

    I tried that right after the first time it did it for the few seconds I thought maybe that timing arm was hanging up but it wasn't hanging up and I oiled it up good

    Failed 26 year old original db2, what’s inside? What goes wrong?

    I was reading this a few days ago and low and behold I started having some very strange issues with my pump I've never heard of or seen I think its related to that advance seizing up. Saturday I was driving along and all the sudden it sounded like my timing advance stuck full advance I pumped...

    What turbo is this?

    This matches my kit identically. My turbo says Rajay but my intake hat I thought was home made and somebody did a really good job. My turbo flange/rectangle tube is also welded into the original manifold. Every other Rajay kit I've seen has it's own exhaust manifold and a cast aluminum intake...

    Heat is turning cold... then hot... then cold... etc.

    My 86 plow truck is doing this now. Mines the hi output heat without ac no vacuum controls. My temp gauge will sit on the cold line if it idles or drives gently/normal if I pound on it she will warm up to normal operating temp. Sometimes it will run normal temp idling. seems that the...

    Hot Transmission

    Another thing to check being that it didn't really cool going down hill is I believe there's some kind of cooler bypass thing that can get stuck in the cold position and it doesn't allow all the fluid to the coolers. Another thing to check is the converter locking up? The throttle position...

    How/Where to add SCA

    Running green coolant with sca additive is just as good as fleet/final charge. fleet/final charge is just pre charged with sca and every year after using fleet/final charge you need to dip your coolant and add required amount of sca. What ever bottle of sca you get or the test strip package...

    Custom 60G glow plugs

    I expect them to hold up for many many years even with 30 second glow cycles. I have them in both my 6.2 trucks aswell and they seem t hold up very well in them too

    Custom 60G glow plugs

    So I've put 60G self regulating ac delco glowplugs for a 6.5 in my 7.3 plow truck. The reason is I believe the ZD9 plugs aren't what they used to be and quality is going down hill. With some modification the 60G can be put in a idi I've been told you can use a bench grinder but a lathe is the...
