    Rough cold start

    Injectors probably haven't been replaced in 20 years or so... I have noticed a slight tick noise, you really have to listen which led me to believe an injector was going out. I figured maybe air was getting in some where. My return line to the fuel filter looked to be leaking a little bit after...

    Rough cold start

    Here for about the last week the truck has had a rough cold start, it cranks and starts like usual, it just sounds like it has a miss for the first 20 seconds of running(with just idling it), if you give it slight throttle to where to high idle kicks in it will smooth it out. You can just really...

    Ignition Switch Problems

    I got everything back in two days ago, new actuator is doing great, I lubed everything up with graphite. BWD turn signal switch is in and is working perfectly, although I found that the wires seem to be just a little shorter than the stock one. The only issue I have no is the tilt, but I'm not...

    Ignition Switch Problems

    Yeah, I haven't pulled the pins yet. I went to Advantage Ford in Ottawa to get the actuator, and I was told they no longer made it. I was going to stop by Napa and get one, but I didn't get that far. Stopped by Oreillys to get the BWD turn signal switch, had part # in hand, gave part # to him...

    Ignition Switch Problems

    It's finally nice here after the last two days of cold weather so I decided to go ahead and work on it. So I'm having some weird issues to say the least, the most urgent one is I can't get the broken piece out? I thought they just slide out once they've been broken? Am I missing something? When...

    Ignition Switch Problems

    Is the Rock Auto Part #SM66F as good as the BWD turn signal switch? Or the NAPA one? I'm not sure which turn signal switch I'd prefer to go with! Yeah, I saw that on the reviews for that replacement cam was a joke to say the least! Also, is it just the dorman column lock actuator that is...

    Ignition Switch Problems

    Thanks for all your help! I haven't ripped into it yet, but I plan on it tomorrow. I'm pretty sure we had a mechanic replace the actuator a couple years ago, but if it's dorman stuff I'm sure it's what broke. I just thought if it were actually that part my ignition would just spin where as it...

    Ignition Switch Problems

    Well, I got the steering wheel off (Was planning on taking it off because my turn signal cam broke where it won't stay latched for turning right) and I can't remember the name of this part... But I'm pretty sure it's suppose to be rectangular and not having a chunk gone. Does anybody know the...

    Ignition Switch Problems

    Been having problems with my ignition switch for about two days, where you'd turn it, let the glow plugs warm up and wait for the wait to start light to go off, and then you'd go to start it and it just acts like it bottoms out and nothing happens. Well, last night it finally broke, and...

    Exhaust

    Went ahead and ordered the exhaust from Summit last Friday, got the exhaust Tuesday. Put it all on there today, I didn't take any pictures of the individual pipes etc (Forgot to), but I did snap a photo of it in the box. Sorry I didn't get many photos, did it at a friends house and just kind of...

    Exhaust

    I thought about that for a little bit. Well, a friend keeps bugging me about doing that lol, I just figured I could find a 90* 4" for a Powerstroke or just one somewhere. I might have to do that though! I didn't think it'd be such a pain to find one

    Exhaust

    Yeah, a little bit doesn't it? I know there are some people on here somewhere that have used this exhaust in the past, it's just been so long since I've been on here. Still having no luck finding a nice 4"/ 90* tail segment to replace the 45* though.

    Exhaust

    I'm more referring to the up and over the axle and out section and tail combined. I figured there would be something like Napa's EXH 54387 just a 90 instead?

    Exhaust

    So, I was interested in the dynomax 4", considering it's pretty cheap with the rebate and shipping right now. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/wlk-19430/all But, I don't really like the look of a 45* tail pipe on an obs, it's just my opinion, I'd just rather have a 90* more tucked look...

    Rotomaster

    Hey I found a Rotomaster turbo (company that I've never heard of) in a truck about to get crushed, was thinking about grabbing it. It's on a 6.9l. Rotomaster hi-flo A/R85... I've never heard of this thing so I was wondering if any of you have and what your opinions are on it, it's been storming...

    Point of no return project.

    Can I see more pictures of that exhaust? Sorry lol didn't know NAPA had 4 inch exhausts for idi's I'm really interested. Seeing as though mine is cut and welded (by me) and looks like crap since no one around here could bend the pipe :D

    When I get enough money, I know I am giving hypermax a call about a build like this. Maybe not so high up as ether start ups ha! When I turn 18 I'll probably sell the Cummins to get more cash for a build like so, thrash the streets with the big 7.3l!
