    1978 F250 Supercab 4x4 12 valve Cummins Diesel in TX

    I have no connection with this sale, just found it on CL and thought it was a cool rig. Kind of strange that a P-pump would crap out and he doesn't want to mess with swapping it even though he has one on hand. If I knew anything about 12 valves I'd be going to look at it, though...

    Help me ID this turbo intake horn

    Found this intake/horn at a shop in town and it doesn't look like the Sidewinder setups I've seen. Just wondering what kind it might be. All they could tell me is the engine is from a fummins conversion done elsewhere.

    I'm starting to think the mechanic botched it up again.

    Hi, guys. Apologies for the long first post. 1993 F250 7.3 IDI NA 4x4 5 speed, 188K miles on the frame, originally turbo as per the VIN but it had a NA engine of unknown mileage in it when I bought it for cheap. It's a beat up and worn out truck (see compression test results below) but it's...
