    Cold air intake...sorta

    It might not be getting all cool air but it's much better than the banks black box that only used a 1/3 of the filter. cookoo I still need to build some shrouds around the filter to get max cool air. It looks like EGTs dropped about 100°. And power increased about 20%. Whistling increased...

    Head is off...what to inspect?

    I finally got the drivers side head off on the 7.3 engine from my '92. I am looking for a blown head gasket. It was drinking coolant and had a bad miss. Though all my issues may be from cavitation I haven't got that far yet. Would it be obvious where coolant was getting in the cylinder from...

    Gear vendors on a 4x4 crewcab???

    It doesn't look there is room to me...about 1.5" above the u-joint to cab structure. I remember reading you have to notch the cab to fit a US gear. Anyone install a GV? I have one and am debating if I want/need double od. If I only had 3.55's I would just sell it. I don't think there is any...

    Gear rollover much louder than expected...6.9 w/zf5

    I knew I would hear some but holy cow! I have a 6.9 engine/flywheel with the zf/5 using a springed friction disc. Question: could this be making more noise than other smf's because the flywheel weights 23lbs less? I am thinking so but curious if there is anyone else out there with this combo...

    Time for open air element...

    Time for open air element...need intake hat! Ok...I think I finally crushed the banks k&n to the point of not sealing. So it's time to junk the black box and go with an open air filter. Problem is the newer design has the intake hat casted into the filter housing. This is the biggest PITA...

    Mitsubishi starter rebuild kit?

    Of the three idi's I bought they all had the Mitso starters. One of them stopped working and I found that one of the brush wires broke. So...is there a rebuild kit I can get...brushes/bearings etc at local autoparts or what? I figure I might as well rebuild it while it's apart...and it is my...

    NW idi event?

    It looks like there is some interest from the NW in an event. Since we are a bit more spread out than the east coast...maybe we should hold a NW event to go along with the CA event? I would be up for a trip to BC...I bet there is some beautiful camping up there eh? If not up there maybe...

    banks y-pipe exhaust leak...

    Check out the attached picture. Can anyone guess what's wrong with it? :backoff hint: the left side shown in picture is the one that leaks. I wonder if it's a banks original or a hack job down at some exhaust shop. I shouldn't say hack job because someone did a really nice...

    Alternatives to steel braided oil lines...

    My oil lines have small leaks in them and I am not sure where to get new steel braided lines. I replaced one section with fuel line but I am sure that isn't a long term fix. I think it was rated at 200psi but unsure if it holds up to the hot oil over time. :confused:

    Timing by ear game

    Timing by ear game...sound/video included Finally got all my major issues resolved yesterday on the Limo. Actually got to drive it today around town about 30 miles...even got it registered. These crew cabs sure are a blast to drive...and the best part is it turns sharper than my extendo cab...

    Compression numbers...

    This is what I got on the 6.9 I just slipped in: 1. 460 2. 450 3. 440 4. 450 5. 460 6. 460 7. 440 8. 500 Is it safe to assume the engine is good? I have a miss or three right now but I am going to install a known good fuel system this weekend that should make her happy. There...

    Major oil leak at rear of engine!

    OK...I did something really stupid and started my truck without a crankcase vent. I plugged the valley pan vent with turbo return line and forgot to swap my banks cdr adapter on the IP cover (got way too excited once that batts where hooked up). :idiot: So when I shut the engine off there was...

    ZF5 won't stay in reverse!

    I finally fired up the Limo with the 6.9 transplant done and was just playing around a bit in the driveway and the tranny won't stay in reverse? -cuss Even if I hold the shifter down it pops straight out and grinds gears. I have no idea how these things work so I don't know where to start...

    DMF failure symptoms?

    How does one know when the old dual mass flywheel is ready to fly off? At idle something down near the tranny makes a scary rattling/chattering vibration that shakes the truck. If I push the clutch in it goes away. If I bump the rpm over 1200 it goes away. I am totally lost here. Just had...

    Turbo rebuild time?

    How does one know when it's time to rebuild a turbo? I figure the obvious signs are if they are seized or leaking. I have three turbos around here...two have a little play and spin very easy...the other one has no play but still rotates ok. None of them leak but I am a little worried about...

    Throttle cable adjustment?

    I just put in my spare 6.9 motor and fuel system and the throttle cable doesn't fit. It looks like the 7.3 ip has a little different lever arm causing the cable to be too long on the 6.9 pump and it binds. Am I missing something or is there no adjustment? I was able to bend the bracket mounts...

    Drained 2 gallons of coolant from engine oil!

    I know this engine has issues but sheesh! The truck ran till I filled 2 gallons of coolant in the radiator. Within minutes it was hydrolocked. Within hours the oil level was up way high and coolant down. I have been assuming head gasket failures but could it leak that much that fast into the...

    Red fuel additive?

    I am thinking that there probably isn't such a thing and it's just dyed fuel...but that is what's in the tanks of this crew cab I just bought. -cuss The lengths these people went to save a buck is starting to scare me. First four different tires (all same size) and now this. If it is dyed...

    How do you get old rusty exhaust pipes loose?

    Especially when they are on a rear mtd turbo (banks) that you can't even get a saw in to cut them. :confused: I haven't actually attempted to remove anything yet out of total fear of failure. If I would be lucky enough to get the down pipe off the turbo I MIGHT be able to pull it loose...

    Pictures of DMF?

    Does anybody have pictures of the DMF? And what diameter is the clutch disk for the ZF flywheel? I just pulled the clutch and flywheel off an '87 6.9 w/t19 and the friction disk says luk on it. Just wanted to find out if it had a luk flywheel as well. Did any years have an SMF stock...

    New truck...engine dies when shifting

    Hey guys...I finally made it over from that "other" site. I like it here already. Anyway I just bought a 92 crew cab that is 850 miles away. Going to pick it up in 12 days and hopefully drive it back. Owner says it burns oil, blows a lot of smoke and the engine dies when down shifting. He...
