    Oil and coolant mixing

    I used simple green to clean my coolant system out. But then let my worry get the best of me and replaced every gasket, hose and seal right after thinking it may have damaged them in some way

    SMF Clutch kit

    I have no opinion on the perfection clutch as I've never used them, but I've had really good luck with my luk clutch kits and I tow heavy and often. Also have real good luck with the southbend clutch kit I got from Classic Diesel Designs and really like it and have used southbend in other trucks...

    7.3 Diesel Transmission Adaptor Plate

    Just compared the two, the powerstroke adapter is thicker. If you were closer I'd give you one of the many I have laying around for an idi if that's the one you need. Don't have a spare for a powerstroke, but plenty of spares for an idi.

    Which ts chip, or am i overthinking?

    Can I run the 140 tune without bigger injectors? I have the ebpv delete and adrenalin hpop as well as a cold air intake and mbrp 3 in downpipe into a 4 inch exhaust shortened to come out in front of the tire instead of behind, but stock injectors and basically stock everything else other than...

    Which ts chip, or am i overthinking?

    After some more looking, I think for the extra 100 bucks and added benefit of not having to send the chip in every time I want to change the tunes, IL be following yalls advice. How do yalls trucks do with the 50 and 75 hp tunes while towing? And how's the fuel mileage with them vs without? The...

    Which ts chip, or am i overthinking?

    I now have both, my personal opinion, snatch up an idi. Tuners are probably great and all, but I love the simplicity of an idi. My dd is a 91 f250 with a 3582 turbo, intercooler, 110 cc ip, stage 1 injectors, 3.73 Yukon gears, and a zf5. Walks all over the powerstroke loaded or unloaded. Stomps...

    Which ts chip, or am i overthinking?

    To be honest, I've already noticed that. Thought it was my imagination, but now that you state that, it makes perfect since.

    Which ts chip, or am i overthinking?

    I have a 97 powerstroke, srw, 4x4 originally automatic. I swapped to a zf5 and absolutely love it. But was wondering which chip I should order being I swapped auto for manual, and left the auto pcm and wiring alone on the truck. When ordering, it asks auto or manual. Not sure it makes a...

    ARP lube on stock head bolts

    I made the same mistake back in 2017 on my 91 f250. That 7.3 is still putting today. And I'm mean to her as far as working her. Even threw a 093 turbo on it and a maxed out stock ip

    Zf5 swap, im sure this has been beaten to death, but...

    97 powerstroke, e4od, cclb, 4x4, d60. Intent is to swap the powerstroke to manual. Snagged a 4x4 zf5 from one of my part wagon 7.3 idi's. I dropped the e4od from my powerstroke, pulled the flex plate, and found a spacer plate between the crank and flex plate. I need this for my swap to zf5? A...

    Short throw shift for the zf5?

    Verry much so. Many deaths here in Texas are avoided daily by her cupholder. No coffee? Everyone dies! I make coffee for her every morning before she wakes up so that it's already there. By doing so I have saved a lot of money on my home repair bill tye past 20 years. Lol

    Short throw shift for the zf5?

    Lol no. Wife got a great deal on a 97 powerstroke. 97 f350 e40d 4x4 srw with d60 running and driving. I had bought her a zf5 and 1356 t case for the 93 idit dually build, and even a idit block. But she changed direction on me. Now she wants the powerstroke to be manual. And upon instalation we...

    Short throw shift for the zf5?

    As title states, looking for a short throw shifter for my zf5. I know Wes from classic diesel designs had a build or so with a short throw shifter in one of his builds a good while back, just don't know where he got them. Anyone have any ideas or info?

    Wheel lift

    I have a 91 f350 srw and have seen people put kits for a wrecker style wheel lift on their pickups but haven't been able to find where to buy the kit. Anyone else on here know where I could find one? Not opposed to used if it all works as it should and is all there.

    Superduty axle swap

    Mine have been holding well the past 5 years so far even parked on incline with 30 ft gooseneck trailer. No problems so far. But as far as braking while driving the disk have been way better. Biggest issue I have had after sd swap, still have metric lug pattern in the back, and standard pattern...

    FMV of f250 or f350 idi

    Actually that's common around here unfortunately. But oh well. I get em for cheap and usually got good weather to work on them. I win

    FMV of f250 or f350 idi

    Just picked up 2 here in texas. Solid 1992 4x4 ext cab for 800 bucks. No headlights, grille or bumper. Needs a water pump. The other is a 1994 2wd single cab with rough interior but the zf5 makes up for it. Bad ip on that one. For the prices though, can't complain

    Superduty axle swap

    That That was always my point. Lol. Found final ratio I was super happy with towing as well as good mpg and kinda stayed close. Kinda expensive to do micro adjustments so I just have to wait till my tires wear out. Still love the 3.73 gearing and improved breaking. Alot of people swear that the...

    93 f350 7.3 idi with CDD stage 1 GTX3582 waste gate adjustment

    I have the stage 1 injectors, cdd 110 cc ip, intercooler, and 3582 turbsky as well. Running empty on Texas flatlands can hit 18 psi easily in 3rd, 4th, and 5th gears. Loaded I've buried the needle on my boost guage that only goes to 20 psi quite regularly but my egts also hit 1000 f* if I'm not...
