    7.3L IDI hypermax turbo

    I had previously installed a Conastoga Diesel Baby Moose (which has a turbo tune) and Moose Mister injectors, but yes as part of the playing with it I turned it up 1 1/2 flats and made lots of black smoke with little provocation so I turned it down to 3/4 turn and it still smokes under throttle.

    Heater core bypass/coolant filter

    Another upgrade complete, finished the install of NAPA coolant filter head and a heater core bypass. I have seen where several have done the bypass with elbows, nipples and tees, FYI: sharkbite 3/4” fitting fit 5/8” heater hose perfectly and looks much cleaner. Also did a custom fabed bracket...

    What new radiator to buy?

    I put a three core Champion in 9 years ago and have had zero issues until two weeks ago I was taking the fan off the clutch and the wrench hit the rad and busted a tube. Call Champion and $320 later and 4days shipped FedEx I had a new 3 core. Champion claims they are good to 800hp.

    Replacing valve cover gasket tips?

    I have always used copper coat, it is kinda like light duty spray adhesive on the rocker cover side. Keeps everything in place

    Steering issue

    Anyone have a good idea what causes the front tires to go pigeon toed when I back in? That is the only time it does it, drives straight down the road with no pulling and no unusual tire wear. Wheels stand up normal when I pull thru a parking place. TIA

    10.25 rear hub and spindle

    well friggen hell. I don't know what would make me think the bolts that hold on the backing plate would hold a stub spindle on a 3/4t truck, duh huh. Yes we have the technology and the skill but it would be more cost effective to roll a complete axle from a boneyard under her(heck maybe I...

    Just did the headlight relay mod..

    I put the RJM harness in last year and it was true plug and play, low beams look like the highs with the Silverstar Ultra bulbs. RJM's sites seems to be down, they may be out of business now.
