Thanks for all the responses. Still no pictures. I know
My wife went to a horse convention in Richmond this weekend and I guess she took the camera. I can't find it.
To cut to the chase I only have 1 friend in this town so far who has any similar interests. And so yesterday while at his shop he pulled out a MSD propane injection that came off his 6.0 (he sold that to buy land). Then he started saying that we needed to grab his predator off his dad's truck today just so I could see the difference. Apparently his old 6.0 was making about 600 hp and 1000 ft lbs of torque.
As much as that sounds fun I don't think I could be trusted with that kind of power. I would be interested in finding a tune that improved mileage and I know that propane can help decrease your fuel costs also so who knows. Today should be interesting to say the least.
So far I've put about 120 miles in it. The trip computer is saying 15.8 mpg. That's including in town, over some very steep mountain roads, running around the farm feeding animals, and general highway use. If it's correct it's real close to the IDI in mpg's but significantly heavier.
I am also not sure the 4 wheel drive is engaging. I will have to investigate this further today and get it back in for repair if it's not. The only problem with buying used. At least this one is guaranteed to be fully functional for now so any problems I find will be fixed.
I've been thinking about getting some gauges and then started checking out the tuners that come with the touchscreen displays. It seems to me that although expensive up front, based on the number of parameters that can be monitored, one of these might be the better way to go. Banks has a really nice one but it's $$$. I'll keep checking ebay.
Questions about coolant filters.
In what way is the filter media different from say an oil or fuel filter?
I am assuming it gets mounted in the heater core lines. Am I correct?
How much flow rate do I need at what backpressure?
This last question is pertinent in that I have access to several different rough cast filter heads that I can machine to fit. This gives me some options although I know it's always easier to just buy a full kit.
I am still curious about the aftermarket lift pumps available for this truck. Any suggestions or places to start looking?
And just because I left out the details in my first post the specs are;
Crew cab F250 short box. Lariat w/King Ranch package. Adjustable pedals, built in trailer brake controller, moonroof, power sliding rear window. 4x4 with FX4 package. Rhino liner already in bed. 18" aluminum wheels. 5R110 transmission. Color is dark copper with a lighter two tone below the belt line.
