    7.3 turbo engine debate

    I have a 94 factory turbo engine that is going to take the place of my 6.9. The 7.3 has about 230k on it, It was a Daily driver until the day he pulled it out to swap in a PowerStroke. To be honest it ran better than my 6.9. Financially I don’t want to rebuild an engine right now as I’m in a...

    Stella, the 6.9, needs a/c

    Hello friends. I would like to fix my a/c. The truck is currently set up for r12 still, a summer ago I had it charged and it was great but then the compressor took a crap. So here’s my thing. I recently bought a 7.3 turbo engine that I plan to one day in the far away future (I’m in no rush)...

    1986 F250 ext cab bed/cab trim

    Hey guys. I’m not having any luck at junkyards and from what I’ve gathered LMC only has certain trim parts and they’re for single cabs/Broncos. I’m looking for the passenger side trim that bolts to the cab and bed. You can see where it’s missing in the photo. I have no idea how much they’re...

    Catch can

    Where are you guys mounting your catch can? Are you running a cdr in line with the catch can? I have a provent 200 knockoff coming this week. For the last year I haven’t had a cdr, I have ran it right into the intake. I’ve never had any issue with oil consumption I just don’t like all the oil...

    Coolant boiling

    I made a mistake in the beginning of August when I put my engine back in after doing the oil pan seal. The first gallon of coolant I put in was pre diluted and (I admit it’s completely my fault and I should’ve paid more attention), then the rest of it was not diluted. Fast forward to now, I have...

    Lifter replacement

    I plan to pull my 6.9 apart again to do head gaskets, it’s leaking from the rear coolant port and beginning to bubble the coolant. I think that it was install error or something because its wasn’t really doing anything crazy with it, yada yada yada. While I’m there I’d like to replace the...

    “The 6.9” project thread

    Well I figured I would kinda use this as a way to compile all my work and really just a way to look back at some good memories of my truck. So here is my truck. it started out as a high mileage 6.9 with an ats 088 turbo and a c6 automatic. It wasnt running at all when I got it. The first thing...

    Keeping coolant inside

    My 6.9 is studded. I have a 110 and a gtx3582. I do not plan to push it over 18 psi, 20 maybe at the most. I know all the big guys who lifted heads were getting a lot more crazy with boost than I ever plan to on this. I really like how it’s running right now and I’m able to turn the pump down...

    Electrical help

    First off thus is a cry for help lol. I have always been glad my truck hasn’t had charging issues when I saw other people post about it but I think that finally caught up with me. The truck will charge out of control as the rpm’s go up. I already tried a new regulator. The wires on the...

    Head spacer plate

    I am curious about this. Cat 3406’s and c15’s, along with a bunch of other engines I’m sure, have a spacer place between the head and block along with the gasket obviously. They were notorious for leaks but that’s besides the point. They are kinda thick. I can’t help but think about how cool...

    What else do you drive?

    As I was sitting on my couch watching Deadliest Catch, a thought came to mind about what else do you guys drive when you’re not behind the wheel of your idi?

    No overdrive

    Hey guys. I’m usually over on the idi part but I’m having an issue with my dodge. One day we had driven through the snow so we locked it into 4x4. Ever since that one time we went into 4x4 it hasn’t shifted into overdrive. It’s the automatic trans by the way. The speedometer is fine, coolant...

    300 HP 6.9

    I am interested in your guys’ opinions. I have put about 10k on my 6.9 since it was rebuilt and am now slowly starting to upgrade it. I am curious if 300 horsepower is out of the question for a 6.9. It will be intercooled, already studded, and am thinking about running a Borg Warner s257 or larger.

    Help!

    Good evening everybody. I was driving home from work and I noticed the truck was cutting out at Rpms above 2000. My first thought was the fuel filter to I assumed I was fine. Kept driving and then all of the sudden my tach went to 0. The truck died. And a ton of smoke came up from under the...

    Electric pump setups

    Hello everybody. My facet duralift seems like it is on its last leg. I think it’s life span was severely shortened when my tank pickups disintegrated and kept clogging. I would really like to mount a pump and 1 or 2 filters back on the frame rail where the front tank was previously located. I’m...

    Rear main seal sleeve

    I have had a rear main leak ever since I put the engine back together. When I rebuilt it somehow I did not realize that the groove in the crank was a wear mark. I am wondering what brand repair sleeve that some of you guys have used? I found a Felpro kit and I’m sure that’d be fine but I just...

    Bullnose Intercooler?

    I would like to install an intercooler for my 86 F250. I have a line on a low miles one off of a 1999 7.3 super duty and it comes with all the piping and everything. I know that it’s damn near impossible to fit one in this body style truck but I know some people have had good luck. I will be...

    Only 1 brake light and blowing blinker fuse

    Unfortunately my lights are deciding to make sure I’m not bored during quarantine. The drivers side rear tail brake light will not come on when I hit the brakes. The bulb will aluminate perfectly fine with the running lights and the blinkers. I got a test light and tested the 3 wires going to...

    ATS 088 t4 turbine housing

    As the title states, I’m trying to figure out what turbine housing to get for my 088 turbo. I’m pretty sure it has the p trim turbine wheel. I found a bunch of t4 P trim housings. Am I going at this right or will I be ordering some random ass housing that has nothing to do with my turbo:D? I’m...
