    Propane?

    Propane kits are relatively cheap, the big difference in systems is where the pressure is regulated at either at the tank or closer to the engine compartment. Be sure yours regulates closer to the tank, this reduces the higher pressure liquified propane in lines running under the truck. I can...

    diablo chip???

    have you cleaned the chip connector on the '97? What does it do when installed? any CEL, or other warning lights? you'll need to pull the pcm out of the truck to get it clean.

    truck won't start when warm.

    IPR O-rings are a common reason for the truck to not want to start when hot, the thinner warm oil leaks past the o-rings and keeps the truck from building pressure in the HPO system. the oil leaks back into the pan so you do not see the leak. rebuilding it is not difficult, it requires a...

    Back together

    when you replaced the icp you got air into the high pressure oil rails, it'll run rough for a little while until that air gets worked out. The air is also what caused your difficult starting, air will compress much more than oil and the engine will not trigger injector firing until it sees...

    Injectors

    what CSIPSD said, I'm running beans and have been pleased with them for the past 4 or 5 years, I can't remember how long I've had them.

    4R100 TC Lockup Mod Opinions?

    yes it's back to normal when you flip the switch back off, the flashing OD light may need to be reset by restarting the truck, but it is usually self fixing. Be sure you keep your rpm's high enough 1300-1400 or there is not enough pressure to keep the converter locked even though you're...

    2001 F-250 3.55 vs 4.10 gearing

    bang for the buck slowing down will help the highway mileage the most. That being said the 10.5/10.25 is not a very difficult rear to setup gears on however if this is your primary or only vehicle I'd highly recommend paying someone to do it. If you have a 4wd truck keep in mind the front needs...

    I'm glad your dealer is giving the deals, all of the ones around here feel the need to go with full retail if not a bit higher :dizzy I'll agree with a good bit of garbage being sold through the parts stores especially the discount ones, When I can I order most of my stuff online

    Help Needed Oil leak?

    there are numerous places that will leak oil and fill the valley the high pressure oil lines are one, the turbo pedestal o-rings are another common one along with the EBPV actuator. The best means of diagnosis is to clean the valley out well with rags, then wash with simple green/dawn/etc. and...

    some problems

    If you solve the difficult starting issue then you might solve the problems with being gutless. I'd double check that all of the UVC harnesses are good, EBPV is staying open though with the EGT comment I don't think this is a problem. Given that it sat for a while I'll pull a wild guess that...

    Help Needed 99 7.3L Oil Pressure Problem.

    Dave I'll respectfully disagree here, aside from ICP, IPR and the oil pressure sending unit readings there is little information to be gleaned from scanning. The important one of that trio is the sending unit reading and he's duplicated that with a mechanical gauge that is arguably more...

    Hwy driving in the HOT tunes

    yes, for years all I had was a single chip and it had a very hot program on it that maxed my stage 1 injectors. I used it for daily driving and light to moderate towing and pulled the chip when I hooked to anything over 6k, It took diligent monitoring of the gauges when there was a trailer...

    Where to buy a fuse block?

    I'd be visiting the junk yard and figure out why yours is corroding, that is simply not normal.

    blown rear end. fantastic.

    if you have on board air then you're fine. I've seen ARB lockers operated with the cheap 12V cigarette lighter air compressors and a 5 gallon compressed air reserve tank.

    Over heating 7.3 in Oz

    I'm presuming that your stock fan & clutch was a plastic composite fan if so that is the way to go, I can tell you the difference when my OBS truck has the 15# steel fan hanging off the water pump and when it is not there.

    Help Needed Another I'm Smoking Thread

    the SD HPOP from a mid '00 and later if memory serves me right will flow just a bit more oil than the original OBS HPOP and for you it will be a bolt and go thing just a matter of changing the HPOP.
