    Glowshift Gauges?

    question, I have been reading that the IDI should never see over 1050 EGT. so where does the 1300 come from?

    Glowshift Gauges?

    Thank you for the info. I may actually go with a ISSPRO pyro juat to be safe but all others i will just use gliwshift. I will never be towing with this truck, its a weld rig for me. The most it will ever have on it is 2000 lbs and will regularly have less than 1200 lbs on it from day to day. So...

    Zf6 swap?

    Thanks for all the info guys. I have decided to keep the ZF5 as it sounds like there wont be any significant benefit. I will be going with 3.55 gears though. I am not ever going to tow with this truck. It is a weld rig amd never has anything over 2,000 lbs on it and regularly has less than 1200...

    Glowshift Gauges?

    The probe is installed about 3 inches before the turbo. I personally would have done it right after the turbo but its already there. So i should be looking for it to be below 1300?

    Zf6 swap?

    I currently have the ZF5, after i put 3.55 gears in the rear i want to do a swap to a 6 speed manual. Would this be a hard/involved job? Is there any fabrication or adapters needed? Any info is greatly appreciated. And no i dont have a practical reason for it other that spreading out the load of...

    No vacuum normal?

    I am completely new to the IDI world and have very limited knowlege of diesel engines to begin with so I am learning as I go. so nothing you say will come off as smart @ss to me. its all new information as I have always built gas engines, so the basic principals are there but I lack the details.

    No vacuum normal?

    glad to hear that, so I can just thread in the arm on the waste gate and once I get to 12lbs I should be fine right? I will wait until the EGT guage is installed to pump up the fuel anymore, I already have it up 2 flats.

    No vacuum normal?

    I got my boost guage installed today. It is all installed 100% correct, no bends, kinks, cracks, etc. I am getting right at 10PSI max boost at full throttle off the banks sidewinder. But i never show any vacuum. Is that normal? Boost starts to build at about 1200 and maxs out right at 2000 and...

    Glowshift Gauges?

    I got a pleasant surprise while i was digging around under the hood today. The previous owner has already installed an EGT, oil pressure, and boost guage. He must have kept the guages for another vehicle as the likes and wires are all neatly wrapped and zip tied to the firewall. That makes life...

    Glowshift Gauges?

    What stereo deck is that?!o_O I have been trying to find one that wont cover the A/C controls. can you give me a model number?

    Lets play guess that sound!

    I unplugged it and it made no difference. But I think I found where the rest of the noise is coming from. Here is a video. The noise is coming from the clutch/flywheel area. I was told by the previous owner that it was all replaced and upgraded. The clutch definitely looks spanking new but the...

    Project Red Rover - 1988 F350 - 7.3 NA

    is this a repair? and what to do with it? '89 F-350 4x4

    ive used it on anything from 1/2in at 80amp down to 1/8in at 50amp. any thinner and I would tig weld it if I had the choice, if not it can still be done with care as not to blow through or open up your keyhole to a ridiculous size. it is not ideal but if you dont have a tig welder (most folks...

    Glowshift Gauges?

    I may go this rout since I dont tow. I may just get the gauges now and slowly replace them one at a time later on with better ones.

    Lets play guess that sound!

    it knocks all the time. the only time it stops is if I run very high RPM for a couple miles but once I slow down it comes back after a few miles. I know almost nothing about the IDI, so I am learning as I go. I can check that if you can be more detailed. Where is the advance on the pump? what am...

    Glowshift Gauges?

    the ISSPRO is absolutely disgustingly priced at $230 just for the gauge alone then even more for the sensor and harness. That is absolutely out of my budget. I will risk it with the Glowshift and even if I have to replace one im still saving money. TNBrett I like that setup, I may steal that...

    Glowshift Gauges?

    I didnt even think about that! I will absolutely add one to the amazon cart thank you! I dont pull heavy at all. The truck is my welding rig, at any point I will never have any more than 1200lbs on it. The most I will ever pull on a trailer is about 2000 lbs maximum if I have to supply materials...
