First let me say that I am new to the site and to owning a Diesel truck. My current truck is a 90 F350 Dually, 7.3, with a Banks Sidewinder turbo kit, and the auto
trans. I have all the necessary gauges [trans temp, pyro [exhaust temp], and boost gauge] plus the factory gauges [not that they can be trusted more of an idiot gauge than a true gauge].
I recently got this truck and want to do a tune up on it just to make sure everything is up to par before I start turning the pump up or change the ip timing [may be the same thing for all I know].
I have been reading the forum for a few days but without a solid knowledge of diesels [I know about enough to be dangerous], I was wondering if there was anyone in the area that could help me set the timing on this beast?
I am not new to mechanics just to diesels. I have built 7-8 offroad vehicles over the years, and had a few hot-rods in my younger days, but never anything that runs on oil.
