    Another good reason to stay out of Calif.

    While I dont know if we barely have enough to keep plants growing, I do know that our planet has greened up significantly over the last 40 years. As the amount of CO2 went up the plants loved it. Many scientists said that due to "global Warming" the Sahara dessert would expand and more land...

    Forward facing car seat

    Three kids here, two still in forward facing car seats. A few times all three were in them and we had them all across the back seat. I do what @The_Josh_Bear does, buckle it loose, put my knee on it and lean on the seat and pull the belt tight. not the easiest but the best I have found. I use...

    Another good reason to stay out of Calif.

    I have lived in California all my life. There is a lot to hate here, but the natural beauty of this state is not one of those things. You absolutely should visit and absolutely stay out of the big cities. Hit the coast between LA and San Fran (where I live) go up the 1 along the coast. Cruz...

    Project Stress Test

    Brian as in @IDIoit? Thats neat how it is two completely separate pieces. I assume that came out of his twin turbo setup. Running one big line out of the IP cover would you then go to a catch can? or in this case are you running a road draft tube? not sure on the rules for the car.

    Project Stress Test

    I am am interested to see your CDR design and how well it works. I need to figure out something for mine. I get a lot of oil build up in my intercooler that I really dont want in there and am looking for a good solution to it. Can you get a better picture of your intake? It looks interesting.

    Trailered home a 1989 F350 dump truck that looks great on the outside, but the 7.3 IDI is something else

    Ford also makes an E locker now for their newer trucks that will fit our rear ends. I believe you need to swap some of the newer parts with it.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    R99 is basically all I can get around here now. Truck seems to run fine on it. I add a dose of the hotshots secrete to the tank every fill up. We dont get that cold around here though. Not sure how the gelling properties are compared to other diesel types.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    It was actually last week, but drove it to work as I do everyday. Rolled 260,000 miles on my way to the job and on my way home it thanked me by the dash lights going out. two days later learned my tail lights were out by getting pulled over. He was nice and just gave me a warning. So this past...

    Pending Machine Work

    just curious, why would you reuse the pistons? just to save money or are the old pistons better quality than the new ones?

    There are four places that are considered trustworthy for a good IP and injectors Wes (wes on here) at classic Diesel Designs Mel (agnem on here) at Moose Diesel Justin at R&D Russ (typ4 on here) not sure of his website or if he does IPs but his injectors are top notch! I would not go...

    Glow plugs heat at hot start

    I always have at least a short Wait to start time, no matter the temperature out or how warm the engine is. Has been that way with both my trucks. I thought a little glow plug action was normal.

    how much time before 7.3 is warm? outside temp now 10*C

    First those gauges really show you anything. The needle can be in different parts of the gauge truck to truck and it be the same temperature. Now I converted your Celsius to Fahrenheit so I knew what you were dealing with. Comes out to about 149 degrees. So definitely on the cold side. How...

    Doomsday Dually Project

    You think it will heat the fuel too much? Wes was who I got that idea from. But that is something to think about, it may not be able to shed enough heat that way. If that is the case then he will have to come up with dedicated returns for both tanks. I am no help with that. I only have one tank.

    Doomsday Dually Project

    do you still have a mechanical fuel pump? Those failing while rare can lead to fuel in the oil, it happened to me. If you dont have a mechanical fuel pump then maybe you have an injector sticking open and washing down a cylinder. If you can try to figure out what cylinder the noise is coming...

    Doomsday Dually Project

    Since you have two tanks, to keep it more simple, take the regulator return and tee it into the supply side of the pump. The pump wont know a difference and all that fuel stays out of your return system to the tank. There are a lot less parts that way too.

    Doomsday Dually Project

    to much pressure in the return system can mess u your IP too. That may be part of why it is getting so hot. the fuel is not flowing through it fast enough. Not sure what is causing the spark though. put your regulator down by your pump and filters. and tie it back into the supply before the...
