    Up pipe replacement - what else?

    I ordered the Dorman bellowed up-pipes so I plan on installing soon. What else should I do while the turbo is out? The truck has 204k on it. Turbo was out once before for EBPV leak. Anything I should do to the turbo? I was thinking of rebuilding but last time I checked it had no slop in it.

    Jerking with a cloud of white smoke

    My truck has started jerking and making a big cloud of white smoke. When it is doing this the tach jumps all over. CPS was changed ~80k, all other sensors original. No CEL on. It first did it to my wife on a hot day - died three times. I went to check it out and drove home no problems then...

    Shaking under power

    My truck has just started shaking under power. It is particularly noticeable in D and OD from ~35mph up. Sometimes it will shake with light throttle and get worse. Sometimes it will not shake at all. It can shake enough to make the dash make noise, it is fairly bad. I first thought driveline...

    Up pipes

    My DS up pipe is leaking so I was going to replace it with one of the new upgraded versions, any opinions on what is out there? The diesel innovations pipes look good but I do not see how you can get them in being that they are all one piece.

    Glow Plug questions

    I have ~198k on my 2k and just got an SES light. The code reader says #8 glow plug is bad, pretty much what I expected. Now the questions: - Does it increase my risk of a broken tip to keep running it? It starts fine. - What are the best glow plugs to get? - Anything else I should do...

    Tranny cooler on 2k

    I just got a 10x20" tranny cooler from Summit to get the temps down. I was thinking of mounting it right behind the A/C condenser coil right above the existing cooler, anyone have any better ideas?

    Whistling noise

    My truck has started making a new whistling noise very similar to the sound of a pressure cooker. From the drivers seat it seems to be coming from around the air filter. The odd part is it seems to only do it when cold and only ~1,600 rpm. I can see I have an exhaust leak on the DS so I am...

    2k Coolant puking

    I just drove ~500 miles down to my parents house and after about 140 miles I notice it had puked some coolant on the battery. As I went on it got worse and now there is coolant all over that side. I put in the Evans coolant about 100k ago and it has always dribbled some out the cap but this...

    Torque Converters

    Well, my transmission died before I had a chance to come up with many options so I had to take it in to a local shop. It is getting torn down today and they are wondering what TC I want. They have a heavy duty 3 disc with billet cover for $750 and a "extreme" for $1,500. The shop guy really...

    2k 4R100 tranny problems

    My F250 has about 186k on the stock transmission and now it seems to be acting up. It is taking longer than it should to go into overdrive and can't pull hard off the line. I was out doing some mild 4 wheeling this weekend and it really did not want to go up a hill, the engine revved way up...

    Mazda 3.0L Diesel

    My dad has ~4 old Generac 35kW diesel generators with 3.0L Mazda turbo diesel engines. He needs water pumps for them but they are very hard to come by. Apparently Generac had an exclusive on that engine in the US or something. Any ideas where or how one could find the water pumps?

    Tractor starting question

    I have a JCB Mini with a Perkins 3 cylinder that won't start. It give about one good crank and then very turns over very slow. Seems like a simple dead battery but the battery is only a year old and I have tried jumping it with my truck with 6 gauge jumper cables still no good. Also, current...

    Timing 89 7.3

    Bumper

    My front bumper got bent up in a vehiclular altercation and rather than have the insurance fix it for the $1k deductible I was going to buy a used bumper. I found a 2004 nearby for $150, will that fit my 2k? Sure looks the same but I wanted to make sure. Thanks

    Phenolic Calipers

    I just went to back out of the driveway and had almost 0 brakes. Go to check the fluid and it is pretty much dry. Went and looked where the truck was parked and there was a big puddle by the RR. Sure enough the wheel is covered in fluid and the rotor is toast. Parts guys said I had to check...

    Lower steering knuckles loose?

    My truck is wandering a bit so I had the kid turn the steering wheel back and forth and it appears that the lower steering knuckles are loose. The top bolt/nut part does not turn but all of the bottom part that is visible appears to be turning in the hole. Also, the on the left appears to have...

    SES Light

    How many starts does it take to make the SES light reset? I think (hope) I set it with an overboost but it still has not gone off after about 6 start cycles.

    Losing Oil

    My truck seems to be losing about a quart every 500 miles. I do not see any on the gorund or underneath so I do not think it is a leak. I also do not see any blue smoke. It still runs great and mileage seems to be unaffected or even improved (usually get 16.5 mpg and last tank was 17.2 mpg)...

    Turbo removal

    I am removing the turbo in search of an oil leak and I have everything off or loose but I cannot get the incoming exhaust clamp to let go, any tricks? I just pried the one on the output off with a screwdriver.

    Turbo Pedestal Seals

    How hard it is to get the turbo off and change the pedestal seals? Is it worth changing the boots under the Y while I am there? Anything else that should be done at the same time?

    Tugger Questions

    I am planning on installing the Tugger kit soon and I have a few questions. I noticed in the directions that there are two types of valve bodies that require different drilling, will my 2000 be the one the requires a lot of holes or just a few? What holes sizes do you all recommend for the...

    ICP Sensor

    My mileage has gotten pretty low and my power seems to vary each time I start the truck. Sometimes I will have good power and the overhead will say I am getting good mileage, other times it is slow and the overhead says mileage is no good. I was wondering that if ICP mods can increase power...

    Edge Attitude

    How does the Edge Attitude increase power in a 7.3L? Does it work like a programmer or fiddle with the sensors like the 10k mod or both or something else? Are those of you that have one happy with it? What is a fair price these days? The only sensor you have to add is the Pyro right?

    Oil Filter Threads

    I was changing my oil yesterday and noticed two 3/4" long metal slivers in the threads of the oil filter. That really bothered me becuase that is the filtered side so there is nothing to stop them from going into the engine and embedding themselves in the bearing surfaces. Has anyone else had...

    Fuel Problems

    My future BIL was driving his truck (99 F350 CC) down the road this evening when it sputtered and died and then would not start again. I had him check the filter bowl and there was nothing in there (he was below 1/4 but not empty yet) so he put more in, cycled the key about five times, still no...
