    Severe duty fan clutch

    Anyone ever installed or use a severe duty fan clutch, does it really make that big of a difference or work better? And was there a different fan for this application. I've read up on the 6.0 fan mod for the Powerstroke, but that's the wrong rotation for the IDI. Would like to more CFMs across...

    E4OD Temp sender info

    I'm looking to relocate my trans temp sender from the pan (welded bung), If I recall there was a location on the body of the transmission you could install a sender. I would like to get a more accurate temp reading. Any thoughts would be helpful, thanks in advance.

    What do CA laws say about swaping a same year diesel into a same year gasser?

    The CA DMV just recently sent me a letter stating that I need to smog my 92 F-250. I told them it was a diesel and was exempt from smog due to the age of the truck and I didn't need to, they then required me to have the truck inspected by their "trained" official who had no idea what he was...
