Just posting this in case I can help somebody else with a similar situation.
After removing the chip, changing the CPS, spending a little time using Forscan but not finding anything significant with respect to codes or suspect measurements, I remembered that my truck did some really odd power...
Truck shuts off very randomly. It will start again, even without cycling the key, and sometimes it seems to do the same thing 5-7 times in a row, sometimes it won't do it again no matter how far I drive it. It should be noted: it never seems to do it cold. I did pull the trouble codes and I...
I posed this over on Oilburners as I'm a former IDI guy, but I know there's more traffic over here and definitely more expertise.
I'll try to summarize what I've done so far in hopes somebody thinks of something I haven't thought of yet.
My truck is a 1995 Powerstroke, totally stock except for...
Just a quick thanks and update: stainless steel 3" Diamond Eye two piece downpipe has been installed. As suggested I made three relief cuts on the pinch seam. Also wanted to post a pic of a quick suggestion for those trying to make this clearance in the future: putting a rounded bodywork...
So I figure I'm going to pull my turbo to get a little more room to clearance the firewall for my downpipe. I figure if I have it off I might as well rebuild it, and maybe add a wheel as I do have some surging. I see some of the rebuild kits offer a "360 degree thrust bearing upgrade", but it...
I installed my TS 6 position chip today. Definitely makes the trans shift harder. I am going to put a tugger kit in it and I am thinking it definitely needs a cooler upgrade. I have looked at several different cooler options including the 6.0 PSD cooler, which seems like it could work well...
Small world, I have a couple friends in Oregon City area. It all depends on your perspective with regards to the winter in the NorthWest. My personal mantra is "It's a lot easier to wash moss of your truck than rust" :)
Thanks for the info/advice. Anybody have any specific experience with the Diamond Eye 2 piece? I am leaning this way as I hear some horror stories about the fitment of the offshore made stuff and I hear the Diamond Eye stuff is made here.
Lastly, anybody have any feelings about aluminized...
Looking at upgrading my downpipe, thinking about a Diamond Eye 2 piece.
I have read quite a bit about the firewall interference, just trying to figure out what I'm in for. Also, for your guys out there who've updated to the 99/newer turbo: what did you do for a downpipe?
Sorry for all...

This was my IDI when I got it. I think it got a little better when I owned it, looking forward to doing something similar to the new PowerStroke
That's a 10 second Pinto :cool:
It's my old drag car, it was my avatar on Oilburners so I figured I'd carry it over here in case anybody wanders over from "The Basement", as the IDI folks like to refer to it over there :fogey
Good evening. I've been a die hard IDI user over at oilburners.net for a while now, but a recent upgrade to a 1995 CCLB dually brought me over here as there's just not enough PowerStroke info over at OB.
Again, I'm a newbie over here, but any input on a simple tow/mileage build would be very...
