    Another Happy Moose Pump Owner!

    Well, I've finished timing my truck and absolutely love how much better the truck performs with the moose pump. My setup is a 94 van IDI in my 92 Centurion 4-door Bronco with a pre-sidewinder banks turbo kit (non-wastegated), 4 inch exhaust after the down pipe, no muffler, mandrel bend over the...

    Looking for a Banks Turbo Gasket, any suggestions?

    So, my pre-sidewinder Banks turbo has an exhaust leak where the Y-pipe flange bolts to the Turbo. I haven't pulled it off yet, but I imagine I'm going to find a blown gasket. Any suggestions on where to find/make a replacement? Thanks, MoMo

    HELP! Vacuum pump/booster issue!

    Okay, I replaced my vacuum pump since my pedal had been getting hard and it had been making noise. There's a long story here about me ending up having one of the wierd Jan-March 1992 pumps, but I digress. I put on a remand Cardon pump, second trip out lost power brakes. Took it off today and...

    Intake Air Temperature Experiment

    So, I recently installed an overhead console I got and along with relocating some gauges I already had, I picked up a Dakota Digital Outside Temperature Gauge (part #ODY-15-1-S-T) and sending unit (part #SEN-15-1). (No, those aren't "speed holes" I just decided to put my gauges elsewhere...

    while running, wait to start light comes on, then truck stalls???

    Okay, so recently, my wait to start light wasn't coming on when I turned the key to the on position. Truck would crank all day but wouldn't fire. I assumed it was the glow plug relay, and I had a spare, so instead of testing anything, I just swapped them out and that solved the problem. Wait...

    Potential problem with Isspro gauge, tranny running hot

    So, I installed Isspro gauges for the first time in my 7.3 (I've used autometer in the past). The sending unit is mounted in the test port on the driver's side of the E4OD. After installing my engine, I noticed my tranny was running hot. In fact, on a trip up to northern Va, it would stay...

    Looking for info on temperatures

    What temperature do you let your truck warm up to before you drive off? Also, what should the EGT's be down to before you turn off the truck? MoMo

    Location for water temp sending unit?

    I'd rather not try and T it into the factory location. I noticed a threaded plug on top of the water pump with a square top, can I put it there? If not I was thinking of Ting it into the supply line to the heater core. Thoughts? MoMo

    So 205 degrees is bad for my E4OD?

    So, after installing a new (used) IDI in my truck, I took it on a 500 mile road trip and the one thing that really concerned me was my new ISSPRO tranny temp gauge running at 205. Here's the skinny, and then you all can tell me what you think. First, the temp climbed steadily (and what I...

    Weird issue with factory gauges after engine install

    So, as some may know, I put I 93 serpentine engine in my 92 that had a V belt set-up. So, I have been having temperature issues, the trucks been running hot on the factory gauge. It would get between M and A. Then I noticed when I put the truck in reverse the gauge came down between the N and...

    Looking for vally pan grommet for Banks turbo

    I had seen a couple of threads where someone picked them up in packs I think. Thought I would see if anyone wanted to sell me one. Or, in the alternative, where one picks one up cheap. Thanks, MoMo

    A couple of questions after my engine and turbo install

    First: right now, I can only pull 6 lbs of boost no matter how hard I try, I top out at 900 on the Pyro. Now, I'm sure it will be different once I actually pull something with the truck, but is this normal? It's a non-wastegated Banks. Second: how many turns on the fuel pump before it's...

    Gasket for old Bank's down pipe

    Where would a find a new gasket for the down pipe on my old non-wastegated Bank's system? I finally got the engine in, but not before trying to do it with the turbo on the back, which proved to great a task, so I ended up taking it off the down pipe and the old gasket was dried out and rotted...

    Where is everyone getting their ARP head studs from?

    I saw someone mention Summit in a thread, but the only thing I could find was $600+, I know everyone's been throwing around the $220+/- range. Just curious as to where you got them? I decided since the engine is out, I should just do this for added insurance and save myself a headache...

    Non-wastegated banks turbo install parts needs

    Okay, so back in April I picked up an old non-wastegated Banks system, but I put the project on hold as I also had to replace the engine (cracked cylinder wall) and didn't have time or money to do the work. Well, I got a good deal on a used 93 non-turbo with 136k on it out of a van, that's...

    IDI swap

    Okay, so a while a go (almost a year) a cracked a cylinder wall. I was going to wait until money and time would allow me to sleeve my engine, but a good deal came a long on a used IDI and I thought I'd jump on it. SO, I'm now faced with swapping these engines out (and throwing a turbo on the...

    Info on "6.9 Bank's Turbo"

    So, I have a line on a Bank's turbo, I asked they if it was a sidewinder, but he said he didn't see anything like that on it. He did say it had a heavy duty aluminum airbox that said "6.9 Bank's" on it. Anyone know anything about these? Will I have any problems fitting this on a 7.3? He's...

    Looking for an IDI (preferably turboed)

    So, I'm tired of replacing head gaskets and getting the same (actually worse) results. I am now convinced that I have a cracked in the cylinder wall (I checked it last time I did the gasket, I saw what I thought was just scoring from running it with the leak, but I'm guessing that is the crack)...

    Looking for an intake screen

    Anyone know where I can get one of these on the cheap? Ford wants $50 for it, and mine's missing the ring and the edges are getting nasty. I'm worried about dropping a piece of it into the intake. Any help would be appreciated, I've almost finished replacing my head gasket and the last...

    What sensor is this?

    Can anyone tell me which sensor this is? It's in a 92 7.3 non-turbo. It's on the front of the block, driver's side, behind the water pump. I broke it pulling a head. Thanks, MoMo
