For me, looking to have the truck tow...

    84 chevy/97 camaro

    I really don't know if it's the 30th or not...I just bought it last week and haven't been home long enough to pop the hood let alone have to put gas in. My best guess is that it's a 350 because it's got way more power than a 305 should...Also, what about just gettin the VIN off the block and...

    Alright thats alot to consider from EVERYONE. I pressed my joints with a bench mounted vice. Thanks to everyone for your help. I'm sure I'll be on here asking more stuff(even though I wished I wasn't haha) being that this is my first IDI pickup and I am trying to learn as much as possible...

    U joints going out faster than my diesel!

    The new ones came pre greased...I shot a little more in there and that was a synthetic hi-temp grease. I bought them from shucks and I believe they are "precision" joints. I'm not sure if it is one or both. Another thing I forgot to mention is that I think my tranny mount might be loose...

    U joints going out faster than my diesel!

    For the life of me I can't keep a u-joint in my truck for more than a month. I hear like a sharp popping noise when I let the clutch out and that lasts for about a week then it gets really bad. Any ideas what might be causing it to lose them? Or if someone thinks it may be something else...I...

    1988 7.3 idi performance upgrades? Need Help!

    1988 7.3 idi performance upgrades? Need Help!

    i've heard that the banks kit has some fitting problems, and that the ats and hypermax are usually "bolt up" kits without any major fitting mods needed, what do you think?

    1988 7.3 idi performance upgrades? Need Help!

    yeah i've been reading through alot of them and there are so many ideas. I'm not necessarily looking for a complete engine rebuild just yet. If anyone has had success doing the propane injection let me know. Also, which turbo kit would you reccomend to upgrade to, ATS, Banks, or hypermax?

    1988 7.3 idi performance upgrades? Need Help!

    I have a 1988 F350 custom and other than turning up the pump and adding a turbo, what else can I do to get more power out of it. I've looked into moose mister injectors, pretty spendy. And also what about a propane injection?
