    Repairing rust on my SD

    Por 15 in it self is a rust inhibitor, preventor. It can be painted over. the makers of POR15 also have paint strippers, and what they call "metal ready" with is like an etcher to promote adhesion and rust resistance. I believe both the stripper and metal ready are not acid base. if you...

    302 (5.0) help

    Like they said before, change to the ho firing order, the biggest problem you will have over time is the weak 2 bolt main caps. When I raced my 88 5.0 GT I used a 306 ci, 030 clean up bore, used the stock crank and rods reconditioned, changed the 2 bolt fasteners to ARP studs and it held up and...

    powerstroke upgrades??

    I was going to say since I've bought this truck, it makes the same loads that i carry effortless compared to my 97 7.3. the only time I've ever noticed i need to give more pedal effort is when it goes into regen with a load on the truck.

    Question dpf removal

    there was a great thread on another website, this guy took his truck that he barely owned for a few months and just cut it off. He had no problems until it went into regen and it would never come out, he went as far as applying external heat to the sensors to fake them out, no luck. If I...

    Question truck shut down from over filled oil ?

    i think there were threads on leaking injectors or orings that lead to fuel draining into the crankcase and causing this problem of too much oil. do a search, i think there were some here or at dieselstop.com

    mileage info

    the most i've ever seen is over 20, hand calculated, several hundred mile trip, 63 on cruise, about 6-7 lbs of boost, very slow. good thing for ipod. unloaded of course. i avg over 16 mixed highway/street, really no mods, and its a job 1. i think the right foot definately makes a difference...

    BANKS EXHAUST

    I think the tailpipe egt's should be taken into some consideration during regen, its pretty hot and in theory, if the right material was close enough to the tailpipe it could ignite, does anyone have the tools to take a real-world measurement of the temps during regen? I'm actually curious to...

    Results of the Spartant DFP tuner and delete kit.....

    so i take it this is a plug and play kit, like most others on the market. also the dpf delete pipe, how was the install? just curoius, not that i'm getting horrible mpg, 15-17 avg street, highway. but i would entertain the thought of this. If these parts go on/off easily you could remove...

    BANKS EXHAUST

    different metal types can rust, mbrp uses mostly 409 stainless, a different metal compound than the higher priced better quality 304 stainless. I'm not sure the exact specs of the compound but there is more of one type of metal in it, something about nickle or some alloy that makes it rust...

    AFE Stage 2 kit and Check Engine Light

    yeah, when i had my Dmax, I had a the edge/j/a on it and the egt probe i left in the header, removed the harnesses and controller, sent the truck in for a knock when the a/c is on and they had to replace a a/c line that the clearance was to close to firewall, anyways the egt probe was dangling...

    hows the new f250sd??

    there was a link to a great write up on another powerstroke forum about deleting the dpf, cat and staight piping the 6.4 and turning off the regen . The guy who did it was named Julian. I cant remember the site now, its a long read like 45-50 pages of the process. Long story short...it can be...

    hows the new f250sd??

    gunman, i would be skeptical of a tuner that would claim 210-250 rwhp, maybe torque, but that a whole hell of a lot of horses. The only tuner I've ever dealt with was a edge juice/attitude for my 6.6 Dmax. It was awesome, I only kept it for about a month because I feared I would break...

    hows the new f250sd??

    hand calculated, my wife says I drive like a grandpa, I've found that if I dont go above 68mph i make good milage. I actually posted on the diesel stop with a photo of 21.2 mpg, had corrected its almost the same. thats sustained highway driving for a considerable distance, earlier this summer...

    first real test with my truck

    Well, we finally got some good snow this weekend and I got to try out my new truck and plow setup. I primarily plow residential streets in developments that dont want to large heavy duty rigs and commercial lots. My truck isn't really setup for residential driveways since its so long. I got...

    2008 Superduty Sub Boxes

    let me know if it fits, i really doubt it, it seemed that ford had really decreased the amount of space behind the seat, the box's for the previous years did not fit the 08's.
