    New Guy

    He is saying that his truck came from another dealership to the dealership he bought it at, and he drove past the dealership it was at before it was shipped to the dealership he bought it from. Make any sense? Now I think I'm confused........ ;) Dave

    Cps help is on it's way?

    I replaced my factory CPS last August. My truck started stumbling/bucking/missing alot and then would smooth out. The check engine light never came on but it stored a code, I don;t recall what it was but my boss hooked up a scanner and said it threw a CPS code and to swap it out. It fixed the...

    Is there a pill for our affliction?

    Don't worry..... Don't worry, it all goes downhill from here, I'm sure we all have varying degrees of PMS, weather we want to admit it or not. At least this kind is halfway controllable, LOL. ;) Dave

    fix for boost gauge flutter

    check out my other reply on TDS buddy Hey Darth Stroker, check out my reply to your question on The Dark Side, oh and something I didn't say over "there" was that I swapped to push-connect fittings and 3/16 line. All I had to do to hook up the lines was push them into the fittings, and it was...

    Hi-Po veggie PSD Motor possible?

    JOAT, we will already be running into unknown territory if we pull this off..... :thumbs :D So what you're saying is no hogging the holes out on the injectors? What other ways do people get the injectors to flow more? Changing the plunger stroke? Dave

    Hi-Po veggie PSD Motor possible?

    What are some thoughts on a decent high-performance 7.3 PSD motor(like 400HP for ex.) running on veggie oil? Would there be any tuning differences to make up for using veggie oil instead of diesel fuel? What about running aftermarket injectors? This motor would not be in a truck........HEHEHE...

    glow plug controller smoking

    The Autolites are no good, believe me, I had to pull BOTH heads after I had 7 of the 8 break tips off inside my motor, the 8th swelled up so bad it took 2 hours before it finally broke in pieces and came out, 2 hours with the head off of the motor sitting on the bench I might add. The tips will...

    OK, I made it!

    Hey Clayton, do you still run the program(Bulrid8) that bears your name? I got it recently from Travis(Moremph), and I was wondering if it was a TWildman program? It is OK to run with just stock injectors, right? Travis said people have been blowing headgaskets, but it does pull hard! Dave

    Driving a "slug"?

    HAHA, I don't worry too much about my "slug". It gets faster by the month and in general seems to have less problems than the SD's, IMHO. Maybe that's just because they make a TON of SD's and maybe not as many OBS trucks. OBS all the way :thumbs Dave

    Ford offered T-case PTO option on OBS trucks

    Hey guys, I thought you may find this interesting. Today at work we were putting a new zf5 in a friend of mine's truck and I noticed that it had a PTO cover on the passenger side of the transfer case. I don't know if any of you guys have run across this before, but it was a Borg-Warner T-case...

    What is the 7.3's bottleneck on power?

    Learnin' something new Hey Hoss 350, I was asking those questions because I wasn't sure of the answers. :cowboy: I never thought about the flow of the injector vs. engine displacement, guess I learn something new everyday(see sig, lol). :sweet I don't really know much about the 6.0's other...
