    Question on the waste gate

    our turbos do not have wastegates on edit... on the newer ones that have wastegates you can just unplug it where the wire plugs into the wastegate and it will stay closed at all times

    ok i came up with an idea for lowering the mounting bracket... i can move it to bolt to the tool box or i can use the idea that strokin21 gave and paint the bracket black. wut do y'all think??? i would have to make new brackets to move it to the tool box though b/c the tool box is too far away...

    pics of the new stacks!!!!

    i did it this way b/c it was the easiest way and the sturdiest. i can't even shake 'em and move them at all. i couldn't really find another place lower that i could bolt to. thanks for the opinion though. i will look it over some more.

    yeah both my parents and my brother drive goats. we just put stacks on my brothers goat about 4-5 months ago and his are way louder than mine. inside the cab with the windows up you can't even hear them, but when you roll the windows down they do get pretty loud if you step on it. i, personally...

    Few questions on a 97 7.3l

    how'd the compression test turn out??? i wonder why someone would put an injector in a truck that it shouldn't be in... hmmm.... well after thinking for a couple of seconds... how could you put an injector in a powerstroke that wasn't right for it???

    the troubles go on and on and on....

    the only complaint that they have on me is getting mad at people for not working and finishing everything. i was a stocker for a convenience store and the other stocker never finished anything. i've already told him that the problem has not gone away b/c i know who has been doing it, but i won't...

    the troubles go on and on and on....

    well i talked to the manager today and she said that she didn't think i was doing it and that there is no proof on our video cameras. but she can't do anything about it because the owner of the store is the one who told her to fire me. oh well the kid that told the owner is the owner's nephew so...

    New to the forum

    welcome to the forums!!! i bought mine with 240,000 miles and i had to change out the fuel pump, get the tranny rebuilt, new clutch, pressure plate, and flywheel. i am happy with the way that the truck performs though. for 240,000 it runs really good and i would do it again. good luck. just...

    the troubles go on and on and on....

    ok i found out why it was leaking. the gasket was out of the groove slightly from when i put the neck back on. i'm getting 2 new bolts today so we'll see how things go. the broken bolt wasn't very hard to get out thanks to my EZ-out set. i will update everyone later.

    the troubles go on and on and on....

    now i seem to have misplaced one of the other bolts. just to clarify, the bolts i'm talking about are the 3 that connect the top radiator hose. i'm pretty sure they are all the same length.

    the troubles go on and on and on....

    well today i woke up to a phone call from my boss... she said that someone told the owner of the store that i've been stealing beer from the store!!!!:cussing: i just couldn't believe that i was being accused of stealing and was fired b/c someone lied to the owner. well it turns out that i...

    Early '99 Exhaust ... Need Help ASAP

    i know that some places make cat-back exhaust systems for the powerstrokes, but why don't you just buy a cat. delete pipe and a muffler delete pipe? the sound won't be too loud to handle, but then again it take an extremely loud noise for me to think it's too loud. i'm not sure where to buy all...

    Early '99 Exhaust ... Need Help ASAP

    i took the 4" exhaust that my brother used to have on his '99 dodge and used it from the cat. back. i emptied the cat out though. all i had to do to make his exhaust work was cut off some of the mounting brackets and weld them in different places to work with mine. i would agree that you could...

  23. strokin'_tatsch

    what do ya'll think?

    i have a 5sp. and i know a guy who has DIY stage 1's with nitrous and he hasn't had any problems with it. you just have to watch how much you spray. ya know it would be really funny to watch my brother try to keep up with Mr. LukeCline, but what i'm trying to do is get some mods that would be...
  24. strokin'_tatsch

    what do ya'll think?

    yeah... i would rather get the stage 2's, but i don't have the money for the HPOP and bleed down mod. so i'm gonna stick to the stage 1's and maybe spray some nitrous. i'm almost wishin' i woulda got a '96 or a '97 instead of the '95. it sure is gonna be a pain to do the bleed down mod from what...
