Or blue hair and a dgaf attitudeKeep in mind that towing a trailer over 10k requires a class A cdl.
There’s nothing wrong with the banks except for the cost and the turbo being almost unrebuildable and very expensive to update to the modern parts that go into my turbos, for less than the cost of a banks kit the OP is getting a full turbo kit ceramic coated black, billet GTX3582 turbo based on the factory turbo frame, full intercooler kit and 6637 intake kit. It also come with installation instructions with color pictures along with a much more substantial guide for tuning the stock pump than what banks offers, along with the kit being tailored to each truck’s supporting mods and intended purpose, as opposed to one base cookie cutter design meant for one power level.
On the heating issue, I've heard and read other people complain about the 7.3 IDI running hot under load. Supposedly because the cylinder walls are thinner they aren't as efficient at transferring heat to the cooling system. I replaced the thermostat when I rebuilt the engine with one right from the Ford dealership and had the radiator cleaned out but its always been this way. Running on flat roads with no load it will run at 190-195 all day. But pulling a trailer up a hill it will quickly climb above 210. I've had it hit 230-240 a few times but I've never pushed it past that...I've slowed down and eased off until it dropped. I'm hoping with the turbo the heating issue won't be as bad since I won't have to work it as hard.
Its been so long ago I don't remember. I do have a luminosity probe around somewhere if I can find it. What is the timing spec on these?When you rebuilt the engine, did you set the timing then or did you just align the marks?
I've asked around about this in the past and as I've been told: as long as the combined total GVWR does not exceed 26,000 I'm not required to have a CDL. As I understand it, if the power unit is over 26K and the trailer exceeds 10K, then I need a CDL. Even if the trailer is 15K loaded there's no way I'd hit 26K total.Keep in mind that towing a trailer over 10k requires a class A cdl.
