    Oil leak at rear of head

    i also had a leak (or so i thought) at the fitting. marred it up trying to get it off, and the o-ring on it was shot. that is a tapered pipe thread, and it seals on the interference fit of the threads. it uses no o-ring. i told the guys at the stealership that it had an o-ring, and they never...

    Pulled the Junk off the first intercooler pipe and...

    i did that a few months ago, when i had plans on Thermal Wrapping the pipes. never got around to it, and now i have two naked pipes. however i did not notice any difference in sound. it does look nicer, smoother i think. i used gasoline to help get the gluey crap off. MAN that does not come off...

    Weekend mods

    wow, going from 4'' flexy hose to 3'' pipe then four inch back to three inch tapered seems restrictive as ever. i'd go get a scrap piece of exhaust pipe. :sweet

    Longevity of the 7.3?

    it wont be necessairly "cheaper" to run a manual, but most like the fact of the stronger components, nearly bulletproof design of the ZF. when you add alot of power to the ZF, all you'll really need is a clutch, and youre good to go. however, the stock automatic transmission (mainly Torque...

    Longevity of the 7.3?

    the powerstroke in the commercial industry (IHC T444E) is considered to be good for 400,000 miles if properly maintained. the thing you have to worry about is the automatic transmission, which won't last that long. other than that, make sure the frame is still in good condition.

    Weekend mods

    do you mean a 3" long piece of 4" diameter pipe? be careful, because the plastic can warp under high underhood temps, and can possibly leak dirt past it, or it can stay warped. the best way to do it is a piece of 4'' exhaust pipe, i used aluminized and it works great, no worries of the plastic...

    04 6L clunk under drv sd feet

    if it is a "clunking" noise when going around turns, or hitting a pothole in the road, or even clunking when pulling into an uneven driveway, it may well be the swaybar bushings at the axle to sway bar connection. we have two trucks that exhibit this that need to be fixed. you could get stock...

    Heat shield for tymar intake?

    take into consideration when painting, that the air passing through the hot side intercooler pipe can get up to 300*, but i dont know if the actual aluminum gets that hot. you probably have insulation on the hot side pipe. it is a PITA to strip off. however i did, and am going to thermal...

    99? 7.3L

    if it was used as a work truck that was "abused" as far as maintenance goes, i would go and change all the fluids and filters it has. much better performance, reliability, and it will make it last longer. ideally, you should do ALL of these as soon as possible. flush cooling system, new...

    Now about air intakes

    the switch comes bare. there is no lighted LED background like that. Garrett custom designed and built those things, so they are custom, and no one else sells them like that. maybe another company makes something different. that ISN'T a part that is sold to retailers and then sold (like exhaust...

    4" electric exhaust cutout

    that is a good looking mod, but i dont see why you would really need to do that. do you have a muffler that restrictive that quiets sound? my straight pipe is basically the same thing. how much did that cost ya? -popcorn

    Installed Sonnex got question

    you can go even so far as to change the spring rates for each shift so, each shift has a different firmness. Sonnax Corporation (i believe thats the name) makes different sprung springs for all of their kits i believe. i wish i would have had access to all of my tools i have at Diesel Tech...

    just be careful when you begin modding your truck. you will soon have PMS (Powerstroke Mod Syndrome), which will lead to acute emptywalletitis, creditcardmaxedoutitis, and the most severe case, wifepissedatmeaskingforadivorceitis. it is a never ending cycle. i bought my truck, thinking of...

    Now about air intakes

    i also run the Tymar stlye filter.all mine is, is the filter slipped over the intake boot, and a piece of 4'' long 4'' dia. exhaust pipe that replaces the plastic CCV connector. it's still there in the pics. i also recommend the ZooDad mod too. :sweet

    Tranny protection

    going from 31.5'' tires to 46'' tires, a 5.44:1 would get you perfectly back to stock. because of the huge increase in rolling mass, i think 5.38's would be allright, but the best would to get one notch steeper than that. plan on bigger brakes in the future, 20'' wheels and 46'' tires put the...
