    Overhead Gauge Cluster

    So ive been doing some electrical work on my Slug, adding gauges for the turbo system and what not.

    Figuring out best place to wire these gages

    I am installing some gages in my 94 superduty. Pyrometer, Oil Pressure, Boost, maybe a couple others. I was wondering about a good place to pull switched power. I ran a 16ga wire (Green wire with Red heatshrink on the end) to a fuse block under the dash to provide what I believe is switched...

    7.3 bottom IP bolt

    Hey all. I finally made a wrench that could get to that bottom bolt on the IP head to adjust my timing. When I went to loosen it, it was not tight. Went and loosened the other two bolts, adjusted my timing about 1/16" towards passenger side (was at 4.0 BTDC, now at 9.2 BTDC). I pinned the IP in...

    Amsoil Injector cleaner

    Has anyone used Amsoil's diesel injector cleaner/cetane booster to clean up injectors? Any idea if it helps at all or if its just snake oil? Got a local Amsoil guy I might line up my next oil change with and hes asking if I want to throw in some other products.

    E4OD Behavior

    Hey all. I have been noticing some odd behavior from my E4OD in my 94 F-Superduty. Transmission shifts great smooth but solid all the way up to 4th gear. Heres where the odd behavior starts.

    Interesting gauge mounts

    Hey all, I am installing a pair of pyrometers in my 94 superduty (I salvaged two banks dynafact guages from junked trucks for super cheap). I dont really like the pillar gauge pod setup, they seem to be cheap and dont mount nicely whenever ive installed them. Who has seen or done it...

    So my "new" F-Superduty has this intermittent issue where the starter seemed to be not engage fully sometimes, causing it to make that horrific wine as the teeth spin by without engaging the flexplate.
