    Bought another 7.3 to add to the family.

    If your brake rotors need replacing then now would be a good time to "upgrade" to the later model stuff as it runs a bit cheaper. The turbo, intake & injectors are different also.

    Question 97 350 auto trans shift lag when warm

    flow testing of the pump is accomplished by pulling the line off of the transmission headed to the cooler, 1/2 quart in 30 seconds at idle. The easiest place to make the disconnect is at the flex hoses that are in the engine compartment down on the frame rail. The tube that connects to...

    Nissan Titan/Cummins Engine

    the gas powered counterparts were nothing to write home about either. for the most part '80s toyota trucks were built nails tough but lacked power As far as the diesel goes, I'll be interested to see if they can pull it off, as for servicing, the cab-off is common on many trucks today simply...

    Need Help with value of 97 F350CC LB 7.3L

    the rust you list sounds pretty extensive to me down here in the deep south, which would kill the value down here, How's the frame with that body rust? I've seen reasonably maintained OBS trucks sell for anywhere from 5-15k in the past year with mileages between 100-200k. pictures would help...

    Superduty & RV's

    I like my truck a bit too much to be driving through the ocean like that, that's asking for a rust bucket in short order not to mention the electrical problems that can arise due to the depth of the water. From the looks of things it appears that they went out in a low tide situation and...

    Newbie from IL

    Welcome you'll find us down in the OBS truck section, though keep in mind it is the same engine in the early SD trucks just a bit different tuning, injectors and the factory intercooler.

    Transmission fluid leaking out bad

    honestly depends on the warranty and what you're doing with the truck. for that price I'd hazard it to be a replace the frictions & seals, reuse the steels and clean the valve body reusing the old springs and solenoid pack. you can order aftermarket high end components for a little under $500...

    Getting Closer (TT first time use)

    I've seen them both ways. some FEMA trailers have 12V lighting that runs off a battery that is charged by the inverter others use that battery only for breakaway purposes and use a constant duty to serve the 12V lighting. And of course there are those that are 100% 110V including lighting...

    6 spd clutch question?

    there are 2 primary ways to control the pulsation from a internal combustion engine and a manual transmission 1. install springs (or other dampening mechanism) in the clutch disc that will take up this pulsation 2. install springs (or other dampening mechanism) in the flywheel. many...

    Transmission fluid leaking out bad

    define pouring please. Are we talking a puddle that runs out from under the truck or a 1/4" stream or it leaves a 1' puddle when parked. The torque converter seal on the 4r100 and e4OD (you have a 4r100) is prone to leak if it's gotten too hot because it gets brittle with heat. there are...

    6 spd clutch question?

    As for the actual flywheel you can pull the inspection plate and determine what type of flywheel you have here are a few videos YouTube - Dual Mass Flywheel Conversion (PART 2) YouTube - Powerstroke Dual mass flywheel BROKEN If memory serves me right the SD trucks were all single mass to...

    6 spd clutch question?

    If you have a DMFW you will have a solid clutch disc, however if you have springs in the clutch disc then you have a single mass flywheel. I recently replaced the original clutch in my DD not because the clutch was even near worn after 213k but because of the play in the DMFW.

    truck won't start when warm.

    one bit of info, a special extra deep socket is needed to remove it or a 12 point (6 point won't work for space reasons) box end wrench to remove the large bolt part of the IPR.

    Time for a clutch install party

    So when are you stopping by? I do think that 4500 miles is a bit far to drive to change your clutch but it is nice and sunny with a touch of smoke in the air.

    Oil Prices Dropping Like A Rock Today!!!!

    Perot was 3rd party candidate and appealed to the moderate/conservatives that make a good part of the swing vote. He was in and out of the race several times. His waffling ensured that he would not get the majority required for election but would ensure election of Clinton instead of his...

    truck won't start when warm.

    the ipr is not a big job, you need to remove the fuel bowl or at least loosen it on the OBS trucks I imagine similar is required on the SD trucks. the IPR has a stamped steel nut on the back and then a very large bolt that holds it into the HPOP. You can drain the HPOP res first but I just let...
