    GPR Bypass switch

    Anyone ever do one on these newer 7.3s? I had to 'jump' the GPR today just to get my truck to start. And that just got me thinking... Why replace that $70+ part when I can just manually toggle my GP's on or off with a switch... Thoughts? Travis

    Diesel Site 203* Thermostat

    Anyone here running the 203* thermostat? I just bought one and just wanted to know if switching from stock (I'm assuming is 180*) to this does actually increase MPG and doesn't cause my truck to overheat during the summer (which here in SLC, UT can reach 100+). Thanks in advance! Travis

    Trouble starting when humid and/or cold out.

    So one I've noticed with my truck is... she doesn't like to start when its humid and/or cold out.... Now I know why she won't when its cold... but can humidity really effect the glow plugs from working properly? I know the plugs are Factory but as far as relays go... your guess is as good as...

    Question Turbo Surge

    How bad is Turbo Surge? What parts does it effect the most? I only really ever get it when I'm towing and it kinda worries me.... Should I be worried? I know changing to the wicked wheel is suppose to fix this issue. I just haven't had the money or time to even begin looking into getting one...

    Question Intercooler boots

    Well I have a nice cut in my boot as you all can see..... Is there a way to buy just the upper boots? I've seen the complete kits, but I don't have the money to buy them. I'd rather just buy these if I can for cheaper. Anyone know where I can get them for cheap? Travis

    Question Belt Tensioner

    Just recently my truck as started making a squeaky noise. I think I've narrowed it down to the belt tensioner... can that mean its going out? It does seem to go away after driving around for a while (about 10 to 20 mins). If its going out... have any of you replaced one before, and...

    Gear Vendors OD

    Just wondering if anyone here has done a OD/UD splitter to these trucks before. I'm really curious as to if it would make towing/everyday driving any better... or if it would just destroy my Tranny quicker lol http://www.gearvendors.com/4x4f4s.html Travis

    Gcvw

    From what I've read.... my truck (7.3 Auto 4x4 CCLB 350 SW 4.10 gears) Can only tow 20,000lbs.... my question is... how many of you have towed weighing more then that? I'm going to probably be towing 2 jeeps (probably about 11k to 12k) with a triple axle gooseneck (about 7k) for a grand...

    Chits and Giggles

    Just wondering... has anyone here been in an extremely desperate situation where they used "alternative fuels"? (i.e. motor oil, kerosene, etc...) The other day I was pretty desperate for fuel (don't wanna go into details as why... lol) and used the 1 gallon of 2 cycle oil I had in my truck...

    TW Chip

    So I think I'm sold on buying a TW 6-pos Chip for my truck. I've done some reading on several other forums and they all recommend it over most other tuners. But I still want to get input from all of you before I make the call to order it. Travis

    "Small" Diesel engines

    So I've had this 'idea' for a while to put a small 4 cylinder Diesel into a Bronco II. I've seen it done on the Early Broncos (non full sized) , the guy I saw used a Cummins 4BT out of a Bread Truck. I was wondering if any of you knew of an alternative to this, if any. :dunno Travis

    vibration at 65mph

    I've been noticing a slight vibration that only occurs at 65mph in my front end. Any faster/slower and it doesn't exist. I do know my lower ball joints are pretty much shot but I don't know if that would be the only culprit. Any ideas? Travis

    Going back to school

    Well everybody, I've decided I want to go and further my education into the field of Diesel Mechanics. Don't know where to start so I'm going to go to the local community college (SLCC) and start there. Anyone have any advice to give or schools to go to that would be good for Diesel...

    Question Gearing?

    Anyone know where's a good place to buy new ring & pinion gears for a 2002 F-350? I'm looking for 4.11 for a good price. I currently have 35" mudders on my truck and I wanna get the most outa my drivetrain. I believe my truck has 3.73s in it stock. Should I worry about changing the gearing...

    Brake Problem....

    So ever since I've replaced my front brakes they have been dragging constantly, mostly after hard braking.... Any ideas as to what could be causing them to drag? I've pull them off and back on again several times thinking I didn't do something right... Travis

    New Brakes

    So I put new front brakes on my 7.3 today. Couldn't believe what I was seeing when I pulled the old pads off. The receipt for the new pads was thicker then the pads I pulled off :lmao I was wondering why my pedal had a lot of play in it before my brakes really started to work. Travis

    rant Flat Tire

    Pulling into work tonight I noticed my truck pulling hard to the left.... turns out my Drivers side front tire somehow deflated on my way to work. Which isn't all that bad (considering they needed to be replaced anyways.) But heres the kicker. No ones open tomorrow er or I mean today. So I can't...

    MBRP Exhaust

    Does anyone here run the Performance MBRP Turbo Back Exhaust? I'm thinking of buying the performance (since it's so damn cheap :D) but I don't know if it'd be worth it... They don't give much info as to what comes with it. Looks like it has a muffler but I don't know if it does. Thanks in...
