What did you do with your diesel conversion today?

[F350camper]

Doesnt look like we have one of these in this section. So I figured I'd float one and see how it goes.

I did my first oil change, 5k on the odometer, prolly closer to 6k actual since my speedo didnt work for a while. Put in one of the Rotella oil filters you can get at walmart. They seem decent.

i looked at all 3 of them, but i didnt do a damn thing.
work, and sanding kept me busy.

Finally got around to hooking all the a/c back up.

Congrats on getting the a/c up and running

You might want to update your signature; that doesn't look much like a 7.3L IDI turbo to me

Mostly just driving mine now, looking it over and getting ready to pull my 5th wheel through the mountains.

I started measuring for an intercooler.

Yeah, figured it would be easier to just leave it rather than explain what didnt change if I have a problem with the rest of the truck.

The 12 valve has been in for about a year now. I love it. Only way to go. The towing is fantastic!

When did you buy your radiator? Looks like a Spectra?

 

[subway]

It's one from autozone, I was going to go champion but I needed one in a pinch. It came slightly damaged but has worked well. I am not sure they sell aluminum ones anymore though.

Yeah, I heard they don't sell them anymore. I have the same one, that's why I was wondering when you got it. It's a shame, it seems like a good radiator.

I just had a dream about my diesel conversions, still looking locally for smallblock ZF to finish the parts collection for the sport trac. the powerstoke shorty van is too far ahead to get excited about yet.

love that Dt360 subway

Thanks!

Just got back from over 600 miles out and back through the Appalachian Mountains. I really need an overdrive but otherwise I never had to back off the throttle or worry about pushing it hard. Without cooling fans I never saw temps over 200, most of the time it was in the 170 to 180 zone.

wish the DT 360 were more common here, have only seen a handful in the last 10yrs and only in school busses. when they are worn out here they all get sold and shipped to south America in containers.

DT360 is one little bulletproof engine, makes the 5.9cummins look like a disposable diesel. can't believe Navistar didn't do more with this engine instead of jumping into the small V8 diesels. it had so much potential!

I'm guessing the small V8 diesels were cheaper to build and sell to Ford, and that was the main driving factor...

oh that would have been super cool if the dt360 had ended up being an option in some sort of heavy duty "plus" trim level.
