    4.10's, like 'em or hate em?

    The rear diff in my powersmoker decided the gearset's life is coming to a close after 300 miles of towing on the weekend(almost 220K on the truck), it's not dead yet, but the howl says it isn't far off. I managed to score a 4.10 geared 60/10.25 combo out of a 65K mile 97 for cheap(traded a winch...

    My big dumb truck...

    We'll start at the beginning, 14 years ago. 2wd F100, 300/4 speed, got it from my uncle with a blown engine and trans... Yes, that's headers on the 300.... It was far from stock. Come 02, I mated these two: The rolled truck was factory 460/4 speed, and I shortened the ex cab chassis to...

    I know some of you guys know A/C

    Well, this isn't on my IDI, but, I know that some of you guys know your way around these A/C systems. The A/C on my IDI works... LOL My Stroker, well, when the PO racked it up the heater box was broken, then when he swapped it out for an unbroken one, he discharged the system and for whatever...

    Little update on my PSD

    Well, It's been 3 weeks since I got the free non runner running and driving, 3400 miles, a GPR, belt and fuel filter later, it's a good solid reliable truck. Got rid of the cap and used up some of the spare parts I had laying around. Still have some body work to do, but, it's coming along...

    Dead 7.3, where to start?

    Just looking for some advice on where to start, I scored a 95 PSD F250 off of a buddy of mine for free, as it's pretty rusty, high miles, and it died on him, but it has a pile of new parts in it, including a very low mile DMF conversion. He's a Cat mechanic, so, he spent a bit of time on it...

    Well, this is interesting...

    I've had my IDI for 5 years now, built it out of a couple trucks, and the chassis/engine I bought from the third person who had bought it intending to do something with it and never did(it had a roached body and dead IP) it had been sitting since 2000 when I got it in 05. It had an indicated...

    Interesting glow plug timer

    Well, as of late, between a couple friends of mine, and work, I've been delving deep into the world of GM 6.2's and 6.5's. I was poking around Peninsular's site this morning and stumbled across this: http://www.peninsulardiesel.com/WP-PENTEST/?page_id=589&category=4 It's halfway down the...

    My 6.9 is back on the road!

    Well, after a nearly 2 year nap, I drug my IDI out of the snowbank last night, have another failed getrag in the Dodge... I'm going to have to start paying the Ford pretty soon, it has far outlived owing me anything, I'm still extremely impressed with it's reliability, especially considering it...

    Core support mount brackets?

    Anyone have a part number or source for a new/good set of these? I'm in need of a new pair of them for one of the Fords, and I can't find anything that the hole isn't rotted out on locally.

    96 7.3 shutting down one bank?

    I got a call from a friend of mine today, wanted me to check out his truck, he thought he might have a sticking injector or something along that line, had a miss and no power, he had been able to make it go away by holding it on the mat, then it'd be fine for a week or maybe a couple days, but...

    Well... I bought a "C" powered rig....

    Let the Swonking begin, although, I'm not leaving the basement, I still have my IDI until the truck finishes falling apart, and my buddy Stephane's truck that we re-built last summer received my turbo on it's 7.3. I just sealed the deal on, not one, but 2 first gen Dodges, an 89 and a 93... My...

    Cold Start Video

    I've been promising this for a while, and, I got up a bit early this morning, so, I finally got around to making this. Was -31C(~-24F) this morning, truck was plugged in. This is with a single group 31 battery, I think maybe a couple bad glows(haven't tested them) and an IP that is on it's way...

    Kind of an odd request for you non gated Banks guys

    This is a bit of an odd request, but, I'm trying to ID exactly what the existing turbo I have on my truck specs out to. When I got it, it was 2 housings and a new cartridge in a box. When I run the part # off of the cartridge, it comes back as a turbo for a Case 8.3L I-6(1370/2470 tractor) so...

    96 PSD, no power, won't break 40 mph.

    Friend of mine called me in for some help on his 96 F250(PSD/E4OD/4x4) last week, first it started out with this no power problem, then he changed the fuel filter and it died completley, fuel heater shorted out... Got the fuel heater figured out, and got it up and running again, but, didn't get...

    New starter.... WOW....

    My 6.9 has always started what I figured was pretty decent, but, as of late, the starter was starting to make weird noises and do bad things, I finally got around to changing it on Wednesday before it turned cold, and, quite frankly, I am plain old amazed, it has NEVER started this good since...

    Cab and Chassis rear tank? And, major renovations of the vehicular kind.

    I searched, but, I couldn't find anything. Is anyone running the big(38 gal?) C&C rear tank on their truck? I have access to one off of a 93 right now(we're parting the truck out), and it's plastic to boot, and my rear tank is all but useless... I didn't have time to look too close at the tail...

    Why running your exhaust out in front of the RR wheel isn't the greatest idea... LOL

    I've been meaning to grab a pic of this forever, and I finally have one, I cleaned that wheel 3 days ago... LOL After pricing 3" pipe at my local parts store, I bought as little as possible and a 45*... That still cost me $120 for 3' of pipe, the 45, a connector, and 3 clamps... I need to...

    Turbo is on...

    Well, I finally mocked up my turbo on my buddy's spare 7.3 so I could measure up for the oil feed lines, and got them made up today, then I decided that I was done fooling around, and that the turbo was going on my truck today... It turns out that even though my turbo came off of an E4OD...

    Finally got my turbo...

    Well, the previous owner finally got it back from the turbo shop, and I just picked it up tonight, and, I'm now the proud owner of a complete Banks turbo kit(Early style I'm pretty sure, has the big box for the air filter) with a brand new turbo, complete with the complete exhaust system...

    Source for CDR valve?

    I serviced my truck this afternoon, and replaced the injector return lines on the pass side, was the first time I've had it running with the air cleaner off for quite some time, and I noticed that it was pulling a fair bit of oil through the CDR, I had noticed my oil consumption had increased...

    Banks kit from an auto on a stick. What do I need?

    I finally found a turbo for my truck... I haven't seen it yet, as it was sent out for re-building and hasn't returned yet, the owner was in no great rush to get it back, as the builders of his new engine refused to warranty it if he put the turbo back on. Truck it was on was a 90 F350 2wd...

    New wheels on the 'ol Diesel....

    Well, I finally decided that it was time to spend some $$$ and get some nice wheels and tires for one of my trucks(been debating on this for 4 years...) And, my diesel was the recipient... 305/75R16 Hankook RT03's on 16x8 AR Baja's... Anyhow: You can just see my 130 gal tank sticking...

    Time for a project update

    Some of you may remember the start of my project, back in October: http://www.oilburners.net/forums/showthread.php?t=8356 I worked on getting the bugs out of it November and December, then sold my DD GMC 1/2 ton before I headed off to school for 3 months, 1200 miles away. It more than proved...

    New guy, new project

    I recently picked myself up another diesel truck... I'd been suffering some serious withdrawl(sold my last one in Febuary.) Anyhow, it's definatley a project. 86 F250 reg cab 4x4 XLT Lariat, 6.9/4 speed, body is in sad shape, and it hadn't been plated since 2000, so at least 5 years without...
