    New truck

    1997, auto, 235k, was an old plumbing/irrigation company truck. I'm quite impressed for a truck that was used hard and has this many miles because it runs/drives great. Best part it was only a grand... Not sure how long it's going to stay around but if the cards play out it'll have a portable...

    Adding some paint and more LED's.

    You get that visor mounted yet???

    Adding some paint and more LED's.

    One advantage you'll have is the metallic and the fact that it's not really a flat panel which means when the light hits it, the reflection will give the allusion of it being the exact same age as the paint on the truck. I asked him, he'll probably pull it off get it masked, primed, and ready...

    Adding some paint and more LED's.

    Your pic turned out WAY better than mine... How's it look this morning? Did the zebra stripes fade away at all?

    Difference between turbo question.

    IIRC, I read that ATS and Banks are phasing their kits out...

    Thoughts/comments/suggestions on floating gears.

    Good one Dan, sheesh... Don't think I've ever tried with my dad's truck (not that I need to worry about it now...), for that matter don't think I've tried with the '86... There's a joke for the fifth gear issues, but I'll refrain...

    i know, theres other posts out there, BEST N/A muffler?

    Check CL for mufflers, also I know I've done pretty good with mufflers on ebay... Currently have a 40 Series on mine, pretty mellow till the upper end of the RPMs, only a temp situation but it sounds pretty damn good IMHO, doesn't sound like a FM unless I'm running next to a building then I...

    Disabling the glow plug system

    Can I just pull the fuse in the distribution box to kill power to the system? Truck's a '96 F-250...

    Wow, giving the viton rings a shot.

    That means you have another 1-2k before they'll leak... :rotflmao

    For Sale: 1 ton axels.

    They're 3/4 ton axles, '72 and prior IIRC Ford didn't do a factory 4x4 one ton till the mid '70s... Yup, low pinion, closed knuckle D44; it's good for someone that's wanting to restore an old Ford 3/4 ton or take to the scrap yard (sorry, ain't worth much to the average 4x4 guy). The rear is...

    And it also dawned on me after posting that we're talking full size pickups and not compact sports sedans... :sly

    DT Series engines

    I actually know where that's at, too bad it wasn't available when i was down there...

    Top Mount Intercooler

    Usually, they go wider and sometimes taller because the new location isn't as restrictive. Now I know there's a world of difference between the WRX and our trucks, but here's a comparison of the two... FMIC http://www.automasteramr.com/images/gallery/gallery_8//gallery_8_a.jpg TMIC...

    Has anyone made a catch can for the CDR hose?

    Dan, when you get this figured out, I have another IDI that could use one... Are you kidding, gravity has been working with you since you were born, you ain't short for nothing.... :rotflmao:rotflmao Hijack over

    Top Mount Intercooler

    Yup, the guys in the import scene, specifically the WRX STi group, when building their cars get rid of the TMIC and swap it to a FMIC for better flow and cooler air... Not saying it won't work but not as efficient...

    DT466 Project...1st step

    I actually thought about this a little more today, and wouldn't strengthening the weak points in the frame be a viable way to solve the twisting issues?

    DT466 Project...1st step

    Wouldn't have to be fully boxed, and extra cross members would help as well...

    DT466 Project...1st step

    Is that a stock C channel frame or is it boxed?

    DT Series engines

    With all the posts I've been seeing of the DT swaps, I'm curious as to what all they came in...

    DT466 Project...1st step

    For the Radiator, since you're already body lifting it could you mount the radiator like they do the H1's and build a frame for over the engine with the hood cut for clearance/flow?
