    Is there such a thing....

    They put them in the South American equivalent of the Ranger. :burnit Too darn bad we cannot get them here! They also have an inline 6-cylinder from MWM that they put in superduties in other countries, too. Like 235 HP and 445 torque (perfect for 99.9% of applications, IMHO) that gets...

    4.5 V6?

    That was originally the purpose behind it's design. Ford and International got in some sort of squabble over something or other, and Ford got cold feet and did not put them in the 1/2 tons like they wanted to. However, they had spent a buttload of money on teh R&D, and so they offset that by...

    Freaking Insane: Snakes Part II

    Unless he is freaked out about crawling under the truck with all the snakes about... My wife would have moved out after the first snake, and put the house up for sale before I even got home from work, much less the second through 4th snakes....

    Freaking Insane: Snakes Part II

    The amazing thing to me is that despite all the wonderful things Chuck Norris CAN do, he still can't act his way out of a paper bag. :roflmao Besides, don't you think that using his heat-ray vision would be a lot easier than using his hand? Or, he could just "cold-eyes" stare them to...

    Electric fan conversion

    I'm sorry if you think we are. I never intended that, I'm just trying to state my case, whch was simply a warning that the e-fans may not be sufficient for heavy towing and hauling. I don't believe I ever did? :dunno I expressed concern that someone that works his truck for a living may...

    Electric fan conversion

    For a lot of guys, you could run without a fan at all and be fine. The cooling systems on these trucks are designed to cool, and do it very well. The electric fans would be a step up from this. However, my statement hinged on one thing, which was putting the truck to work for extended...

    normal coolant temp range?

    Yup. You're right there where you need to be. You are probably losing waterpumps because of casting sand in the water jacket. Look into a coolant filter if you want to eliminate the problem. Also, buy good pumps. You can get cheap remans and replace them constantly, or you can get a...

    Electric fan conversion

    How do you know this? Have you tested them somehow? How can fans designed for low-load 4 and 6-cylinder engines possibly move enough air to keep a 1000 pound medium-duty v-8 diesel cool when it is at 100% load pulling a 10% grade on a 90-degree day? Under these conditions, it is probably...

    Electric fan conversion

    Unless your electric fan has a 25 horsepower motor on it, it will not move as much air as the stock fan. It will probably work fine for traffic jams and the like, to keep your AC cold. Hook it up to a load, like these things are made to pull, and it just won't cut the mustard. If you...

    egt limits ??

    For what it is worth, i agree totally with everything said here. International recommends a limit of 1,250 in the manifold. Some individuals that have tested with probes in both spots have seen as much as a 500 degree drop in the manifold to downpipe temps. The problem is that the...

    any trips for Memorial Day Weekend?

    Yeah, I've fished both. My favorite has to be Bead Lake, though. Kind of off the beaten path, but that's why we love it. JOJ has some good bass fishing in it. Nearby, Waitt's lake is good for spiny rays, etc

    All YALL Have a great Holiday Weekend

    Happy memorial day, boys and girls! First and foremost, BE SAFE! Second, and almost equally important, remember why we're getting this long weekend. It's for guys like Robert and Tailgunner that kept an eye on our enemies for their entire career, and all of those boys and girls "over there"...

    any trips for Memorial Day Weekend?

    Yup. Planning a long weekend of fly-fishing, lazing, drinking, and playing with the dogs at Dworshak Reservoir in Northern Idaho. If it warms up like it was last week, I reckon there may even be some skiing and swimming involved. Dworshak is an 86 mile long reservoir created by damming...

    Low Sulfur Diesel Warning

    We already do. Some areas do not, but I take my truck in to get sniffed every two years. I assume you're talking about disabling/removing the restrictive emissions equipment? It won't be quite so easy as gutting the cat was on pre-07 trucks. Particulate filters require PCM monitoring, have...

    Low Sulfur Diesel Warning

    Not in the engines, in the natural rubber seals on some older trucks. They were worried that it would cause fuel system leaks in pre-viton era trucks. For the most part, there wasn't much of a problem, but there sure was a lot of fretting about it up tot he day of release. See my previous...

    Low Sulfur Diesel Warning

    To be more specific, the sulphur binds itself to the catalysts inside the new particulate traps, renders them useless, and just generally causes hate and discontent a 2-micron filter that is "regenerated" by an extra injector that shoots fuel onto the trap every so often (which could be...

    Low Sulfur Diesel Warning

    You're a little confused. LOW sulphur diesel is what we've had since 1993. ULTRA low sulphur diesel is what must be run in 2007 and newer vehicles. The stuff at the pump is the same thing you've been running since 1993. Everybody is perfectly fine running it, since no 2007 MY rigs...

    Poker Ride in Elk River, Idaho

    Those of you that know Elk River know where I was this weekend. Those that do not, well, it is at the END of the 52 mile long state road, which, other than logging tracks and 48" 2-track 4-wheeler/snowmobile trails, is the only road in or out of town. It is isolated, to say the very least...

    Hey Whatabudro!!!!!!!!!

    I'm going back someday, come what may, to Budro Bayou Honestly, guys, I don't get it. What's the big deal? I mean, if you're too sexy for your shirt, you're too sexy for your shirt! That isn't Budro's fault!!! However, it obviously isn't really saying much in this particular...

    Check fuses. My power windows went the other day, just had a fuse burn out is all. Hopefully it is not the GEM, but it is entirely possible.

    How much Boost???

    I assume since you did not mention a chip/tuner/power adder that you do not have one. Keeping in mind that fuel makes boost, and restriction SUPPRESSES boost, your truck is technically only capable of making boost at stock levels, plus the boost you gain (free up) from losing the restriction of...
