Went on a 2hr drive to pick up a car for someone yesterday. Sadly I think that'll be the last load until I get the swap done. The clutch is getting much worse. I'm not sure how much of it is the clutch or if some of it is the firewall but it's time to stop using it the way it is unfortunately...
I ordered a kit for my truck a few weeks ago. Box showed up the same way. They certainly weren't packaged very well! Doesn't help putting the plastic bands on because everyone tries to carry the box by the bands and they cut into the box kinda defeating the purpose....
While you can do that, my suggestion would be an electric pump to transfer fuel from one to the other. At least that way you don't have to drop the tanks at all. If you get a little creative with the wiring you can still swap between sending units and see the level in both tanks.
I have both and much prefer towing with my dually. My SRW has a noticable amount of sway compared to the DRW. It's not a difference I couldn't live with but the DRW stability is very nice. It's also (as previously mentioned) great when you have the inevitable blowout. I've lost a few tires and...
I deleted mine. I just plugged the hose and put a pipe plug in the filter head. You can hook it back up if you want to but if your return lines leak that will pull air in. With that plugged you wont suck air if your return lines leak, but you'll have to work a little harder to bleed air after a...
I have one running the hvac controls in my truck but I don't believe they put out anywhere near enough to run the brakes. Those trucks all came with hydroboost from the factory.
I haven't tried running the cruise control off it either, it just doesn't flow very much. Not an issue for you though...
Somewhere around September I swapped out the sending unit in Diego. Wanted to take it to my friends pig roast. 4hr drive each way, wanted a working fuel gauge. Some of you may remember I had air issues... Replaced the quick connect on the feed line and good to go!
Got down there and it was...
I have a glass pack on mine and it's not terrible but it's still pretty loud. It gets old on the highway for long trips.
The common myth about back pressure comes from the fact that a properly sized exhaust will have a scavenging effect which will actually assist with pulling the exhaust gases...
I'm pretty sure mine was 1/2-20 but it looks like all the aftermarket oil pans are m14 now so if you have the stock pan on a 7.3 you should be good to get 1/2-20
Yes. There is a write up somewhere for the conversion and it really doesn't look difficult. I'll be trying it myself someday when I can track down a good electric cruise module from a 92+ truck.
I think it was literally just running wires but it's been a while since I looked.
Well I feel kinda dumb but maybe it just needed time to soak? Yeah probably not....
This summer I tried doing some work on the "scrap trailer" I bought this year. It's just a little 5x10 trailer, perfect for a lawnmower or something. It's had a load of scrap in it for several months now hahaha...
I just bought whatever Napa had last time. I wasn't knocking that brand just never heard of them. I think Walker is all I've ever used but that doesn't mean they're great, just the only ones I've tried.
I needed 4 inch and they were $14 on Amazon or $18 at Napa made in USA stamped on the box so...
If it is the metering valve sticking I've had pretty good luck with Hotshots Extreme fuel cleaner. The pump on Tank is starting to show it's age and a dose of that stuff whips it back into shape for a little bit longer when things start sticking. It's not enjoying sitting not getting driven.
I was not happy with the aftermarket cable I purchased so I grabbed a motorcraft one after the aftermarket cable snapped.... It was like $40 or something from tasca. If you need me to dig up the part number let me know.
This stuff has shown promising results from what I've seen. Plus it's 30% off right now on Amazon.

There was a thread on it here a while back. Lots of good reviews in BITOG
My dually has been burning oil pretty bad lately. I put a bunch of the lucas in the oil and it seems to have slowed it down. Feels more sluggish, probably because it's just running on the diesel and not burning oil too LOL
His reply is still correct for that part. That shaft is collapsible as well. Put a screwdriver through the holes and you should be able to get it to pull out a little bit more. If you can't, you may need to pull that bearing back off and clean up the shaft gently with some sandpaper. You might...
There's a place online that sells a NICE looking lower bearing assembly with a new aluminum retainer. If you need that I can try to find it again.

I have a bunch of WMO here but I just haven't had a chance to get my centrifuge setup put together. I have almost everything to do it it's just the actual getting around to it.... I know what you mean!
