    7.3 IDI NA boost opinions?

    I'll just throw my info in for giggles here. I had issues with my wastegate cracking open at 10psi when I just had it unhooked, so I made a rod to lock it out. Now it'll boost up to ~15 psi on meth. I have stock N/A, 270k+ mile everything except some R&D Stage 1 injectors. I know my timing is...

    Looking for a new air filter for my '86 6.9. What's the best way to go?

    I seriously doubt you'll see any performance gain from any aftermarket filter a mostly stock, N/A engine. I'd stick with a good ol' fashioned paper filter from somebody like WIX and enjoy the fact that you're not sucking in a bunch of dirt from a "high flow" filter.

    W80: keeping it mixed

    Are you monitoring the pressure as it runs? It could just be dropping pressure as things warm up and get flowing.

    Pondering a turbo

    I had a 4" Magnaflow straight through muffler installed until very recently. It sounded great before I turbo'd, so I left it alone post-boost as well. I took it off to tweak the tailpipe setup a bit the other day and HOLY COW does it sound soooo much better without it! The exhaust burble isn't...

    93 F350, E4OD TO ZF5 electrical specific.

    I zip tied the E4OD range selector switch up to the frame and left it in neutral. No need for a clutch safety switch then, and it saved a lot of time. I just jumped a couple of wires out of the auto switch for the ZF reverse lights and hit the road.

    How's much wider axle

    My Dad has always said that as well. I cannot say for sure either way, but I find it pretty hard to believe that the OE's care that much about how well your 4x does in deep mud/snow/sand. Lol

    Clutch question.. not slipping but wont hold sitting still?

    Here's a correction for the above post. I am the owner of said 3.55 geared truck. As stated in my sig, I have a 460 ZF which is lower geared. Overall gearing on mine is a good bit lower than his in first gear. Could this be the reason for his situation?

    How's much wider axle

    Good quality, properly maintained spacers should have no negatives. Steel spacers are the better ones, but aluminum ones are cheaper and much more common. I have read that the OE's make the front track wider than the rear to help with stability when hauling a heavy trailer. I'm not sure how much...

    How's much wider axle

    Yep, Dana 60 fronts are actually about 3.5" wider than the pickup Sterling rears. I've got 2" spacers in the back and it seems that only I can tell that it's ever so slightly wider than the front now. Nobody else has mentioned it anyway. Lol

    Adjustable clutch master cylinder rod.

    Sweet! Thanks guys! That's exactly what I needed to know. I never actually installed my clutch safety switch anyway, so no issues for me there. My truck still thinks the E4OD is in neutral. Lol

    Adjustable clutch master cylinder rod.

    @towcat Are you saying that rod will work with the newer pedal assemblies? That's the same part number I linked and it's listed for 83-87 trucks.

    Adjustable clutch master cylinder rod.

    Thanks Franklin. I was actually considering doing just that before I came across the older rod. It's hardly worth messing with mine if I can just buy an adjustable one for $10 though. Lol

    Adjustable clutch master cylinder rod.

    So, I've been looking around but haven't had any luck with this. I'm fairly certain that my clutch rod is too long, and not letting my pressure plate fully engage the clutch disk. It appears that the earlier trucks have an adjustable rod...

    Seeking taller final gear ratio

    Well, he said he's got 215/65's. A 265/75 is considerably larger than that... Edit:: I'm also of the school of thought that if you don't turn around to look at your ride after you park it, then you didn't buy the right vehicle :)

    Seeking taller final gear ratio

    If that were my van, I would definitely go for more rubber. Something in the 265/75 range would improve the look as well, imo. Is there any sheet metal behind the tire to cut out without needing to do a lot of firewall work?

    Champion radiator cc1165.

    I've had the 3 row for over two years now and haven't had any real issues. One of the bolt holes doesn't line up with my core support, so I've only got 3 bolts holding it in. I don't remember having an issue with the cooler lines (when I still had the E4OD), but the trans pre-heater line had the...

    4 inch exhaust

    I used a 4" tailpipe from a 99-04 Super Duty, 4" Magnaflow muffler, ~6' of 4" pipe, and a 2.5"-4" adapter before I put the turbo on. It sounded pretty good and most of the hangers were close enough to make them work. I had about $200 in everything. I'm still running the same setup except with a...

    Wrecked my truck today :(

    Insurance laws and coverage vary by state, but the permanently attached items should definitely be covered. In Indiana, your trailer is covered by the towing vehicle. Other states may require separate policies.

    Driveshaft conundrum

    I know you're nowhere near my neck of the woods, but there's a local shop here that completely rebuilt both of my driveshafts when I did my ZF swap for around $300. That's new u-joints, carrier bearing, shortening the front shaft, and re-tubing/ lengthening the upper section of the rear shaft. I...

    W80: keeping it mixed

    My experience has been that there's no real way around coking the injectors. It's going to happen sooner or later with alternative fueling. I put water/meth on my truck to help clean them up. It obviously doesn't work as well as a DI engine would, but after a few reasonably hard pulls with the...

    Lockers for 93 F-350?

    There should be an axle code listed on your door tag. You can decode that on the Google and it'll tell you whatcha got. Your needs will decide if you should go with limited slips or locking diffs. I don't have any experience with full-size trucks and lockers, but I have run my Jeep CJ-5 with...

    37" tires on stock height f250?

    It's a 1 ton truck suspension, so there isn't much movement to begin with. Lol I admit I haven't had mine really flexed up, but it hasn't rubbed anywhere so far.

    37" tires on stock height f250?

    Here's my 60 swapped F250 on 37" MT/R's. It sits a little higher in the front from the swap, but it's the closest I've got. Lol

    8x170 Bolt Pattern in a 2wd OBS

    I have read that PSD vans from 96-01'ish use disk brake rears with the 8x6.5 pattern. That may be an easier solution than any of your other options. Edit:: I just reread what you put. It seems that you already knew that... lol Why not just swap an E350 rear end into it?

    Post injector swap issue...

    I just cleaned the injector bores on my truck a few weeks ago. I found this brush to be really good at cleaning off the injector seat, but not doing much for the bore: http://www.amazon.com/Brush-Research-BRM-FB75-Flat-Bottom/dp/B00K4HSLZU I got this brush for cleaning the bore, but it...
