    Block vacuum

    Is it going to matter having a turbo? Did they make a cdr for the turbo model? And does having more blow by then new effect the cdr? Meaning as blow by grows does the cdr abapt to that?

I have an ATS turbo and I will run from the front of the timing cover where...

    new alternator doesnt have a plug

    It looks like they offer 2 styles. One with stud connectors and v-pullys, the other with a connector and a serp pully. I'll just have to swap the pullys, or rewire?

    new alternator doesnt have a plug

    Bought a reman alternator from Orieghlys. Didnt pay attention until i got home, but the new alternator has stud posts for the wiring. the way the truck is I beleive is factory. Is this common or did I just get the wrong alternator? And if this is an option, how am I supposed to wire it?

    I can't find how to remove the side window from my '88 f250. Do I simply pry it off? Just below my drivers side is starting to get some small surface rust and I want to remove the trim clean it up and prim it.

    Turbo configurations?

    So after having a couple NA diesels (6.2 and a 7.3) and a few with bolt on kits (banks on a couple 6.2, and ATS on my 7.3) I will never have one with out a turbo, or at least not for long. What I am wondering is, would you get more throttle response from one turbo or would running 2 smaller...

    Project Big Blue

    Well then, ill deffinetly have to put that on my list. In my 6.2 it was in the passenger manifold/turbo pedistol. And I didnt even think about it when I replaced the probe, just assumed it was correct being it appears to have a flat spot in the casting as if that's where it was supposed to be.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Every year my kids get some type of nerf gun,,,,, and every year my girlfriend steals them, hides them, and spends the following year surprise blasting random people. Me, my kids, family, guests, but of coarse only when no one expects it.

    60/40 bench swap?

    I picked up an '01-'03 60/40 seat to swap into my '88. The bench I currently have is out of a f-superduty. I like the built in cup holders, back support, and adjustability. Has any one done this? Figure ill get it thrown in and see how things line up and go from there.

    Park brake ratchet?

    I am looking for info on the assembly that the foot lever actuates, "ratchets" for the parking brake. My foot lever has a great feel. Its smooth, firm, and when my foot holds it, the truck is stopped. But there is zero ratchet, and it wont stay down. Its as if the ratcheting aspect is broken. Do...

    Too loud?

    I'm no pro, but ive read that running the 2 pipes from each side into a 3" collector and then 1 single 3" into a straight through muffler works well for sound and performance.

    I want to finally get Gear Vendors unit, have questions though.

    Mine is set up 7.3, moose Jr IP, electric lift, ATS turbo, zf5, GV, 3.55 Before the new IP, injectors, and elecrric lift pump, it was a turd and couldnt hold double overdrive at 80 mph. Now it does great. I would do 3.73 gears though, because I do tow sometimes
