    86 to 92 style GP control

    I just swapped a 7.3 from a 92 into my 86 F350. The truck was robbed of its relays etc before I got it so I need to figure out the best way to get some control on the glow plugs.

    3-4 inch exhaust on N.A 6.9

    My 85 F250 is running the stock 6.9. I added a new injection pump and injectors from Oregon diesel. It runs really strong for having 120,000 miles on it. The stock exhaust is in decent shape except the muffler is starting to rot out on the bottom. Would there be a noticable increase in power if...
