    Keyless Remote Start

    You can use a power door lock actuator, or a solenoid for a shaved handle system, to engage the throttle under the hood while the starter is cranking. As soon as it starts it releases the solenoid and since the throttle has moved forward the cold start high idle has clicked forward. It runs on...

    6.9/7.3idi air to water intercooler. Marine injection pump, etc.

    6.9/7.3idi air to water intercooler. Marine injection pump, etc.

    Here's a few more pics. These engine were not run in tandem. One is the original, the other was shipped up here as the replacement. I also have a full manual with all specs and all repair operations for the various systems. Came with full wiring cables from engine to complete instrumentation...

    6.9/7.3idi air to water intercooler. Marine injection pump, etc.

    I have two of these marine 7.3 idi's. One is sitting here 100% complete. Have a full shop manual with all specs and systems, and full control panel/gauges and wiring.

    6.9/7.3idi air to water intercooler. Marine injection pump, etc.

    Hello all. I have an air to water intercooler off of a marine 7.3. Mounts directly to the intake. Obviously some adaptation required. Also have the belt driven water pump and brackets to circulate the water. Add a small radiator in front and you're set. 500$ plus shipping. Also have the 275hp...

    You removed the CDR completely?

    Track bar with RSK?

    Longer is better. If you want to go all out, install a steering box brace as well. I've used the clamps from a jeep kit and made my own bar that runs over to the pass side frame. Made a noticeable difference.

    Track bar with RSK?

    Yes you need one. Steering forces from the steering box try and push the axle away from or pull it towards the box. This movement tries to twist the leaf springs and bushings. The track bar keeps the axle centered and resists this movement. It also helps control bumpsteer. It needs to be on the...

    Hvac question

    Get a friend that smokes to blow smoke in to the system. Will show up right away where the leak is. Or use a smoke machine.

    Custom Turbo 6.9?

    Judge, jury and executioner. Nice. Now trying to justify it. This place would be a much better place if people erred on the side of helpfulness. I know, an argument I'll never win with you and others like you. All good, hopefully the original poster can go from that link to others. I won't bow...

    Custom Turbo 6.9?

    Nice. The words wasted here could have been used to help the guy out. Age old web forum mentality. Human nature I guess. This might get you started. I too know the frustration of trying to make search engines work...

    RDT delete.

    I tested quite a bit with a vacuum/pressure guage on my down tube. Same set up with a pulse air check valve that has a lighter opening rate. There wasn't enough vac. generated in the down pipe to open the checkvalve. Removing the check valve allowed pressure in the downpipe to escape. Wasn't...

    Head Gasket, aviation gasket eliminator?

    Well you are all too smart for me. Sorry I was trying to convince you there are engines out there that run metal to metal heads on cylinders with no sealant. Some that make insane horsepower with over 3 bar boost. With no head gaskets. You win, was never trying to be a dick, just expand the...

    Head Gasket, aviation gasket eliminator?

    Not being a dick. Again, my point is, as stated earlier, that metal to metal has been used to seal combustion pressures. In my above posts I also stated that I do not know how it would react to diesel compression ratios. The OP asked a question and the majority immediately shot him down. I was...

    Head Gasket, aviation gasket eliminator?

    What is so hard to accept? AIR COOLED VW's did not come from the factory with head gaskets! Air cooled Porsche engines do not use head gaskets between the cylinder and head! Some modern 2 stroke snowmobiles do not use head gaskets! It is metal on metal at the cylinder to head connection! A case...

    Head Gasket, aviation gasket eliminator?

    Copper ring goes on the base of the barrel where it meets the case. My point was simply that metal on metal combustion sealing has been done quite successfully. Many two stroke engines use no head gasket. Just a rubber o-ring to keep coolant out.

    Head Gasket, aviation gasket eliminator?

    most of the air cooled Volkswagen engines do not use head gaskets. I've built an air cooled Porsche engine with no head gaskets. However they are not diesel compression ratios and do not have oil or coolant to deal with.

    I just acquired a '93 model IDIT 190HP turbo engine, tips and info please?

    Just my opinion. That thing is way too tall. All that mass up that high is going to be a danger on the roads. Why so tall? You don't have any where close to the up travel to use all that space. U joints are going to wear out, bump steer is going to be a bitch. Love your ambition, love vans...

    Low Oil Pressure

    Or put a real sender in from an earlier truck and solder a wire around the resistor on the back of the instrument cluster. Returns the guage to its normal originally intended function

    Heat wrap

    Mine have been wrapped for two years now, and I live in Alaska with long winters. No rot. Think about it, the temps are 600 going down the road and 1200 max... where is the moisture you speak of? I also wrapped the down pipe aways, helps keep temps up and exhaust moving.

    Diesel + Hydrogen = WHOooaaa!

    again. simple physics. Law of energy conservation. Energy cannot be created or destroyed. If it produces 4 hp it consumes 4 hp. If you can make a device that consumes 4 hp and makes 4.1 hp you will rule the world. end result where the rubber hits the road, takes energy to make energy. no free...

    Drivers side exhaust manifold questions

    It will hit the truck cooler. The van cooler and manifold have to be used as a set. Remote mount the cooler. You'd have to tap holes for fittings etc but it can be done.
