    Coolant service intervals

    The owners manual states that the original coolant fill is good for 100,000 miles, then to service the cooling system every 50,000 miles. I just did the 100,000 flush and refill a little over 2 years ago, and now I'm getting close to the 150,000 mile mark. Every 50,000 seems a little excessive...

    DT466 Super Duty

    Has anyone ever actually seen a DT466 in a Super Duty? I've seen sone on the web, but never one in person. How awesome would it be to show up at a truck pull and put about 50 feet on a dodge! We use a 466 in our pulling tractor and it's making about 800 Hp. And these motors can be punched...

    Dieselsite fuel pressure regulator question

    About a year ago I installed an adjustable fuel pressure regulator from Dieselsite. Been noticing lately that the fuel pressure doesn't seem to drop off when you shut the engine off. Tonight I was under the hood checking things over and I thought I would investigate. Fuel pressure is set to...

    Swapping truck beds.

    I have a friend that needs a new bed for his 2002 super duty. There is a local place that builds custom ambulance and rescue bodies that is selling a couple brand new take off beds from 2009-2010 super duty trucks. Will these beds fit on the 2002? If so, would the body lines match up? The...

    Glow plug replacement

    Is there any good rule of thumb for when to replace glow plugs, other than when they start to fail? I understand that the more they are used, the sooner they will need replaced. My truck has just short of 140,000 miles, and I was thinking maybe that would be a good project for the summer...

    Fuel pressure mod question

    A few weeks ago I installed a fuel pressure regulator from Dieselsite. Bob's instructions recommend 65 psi, so that is where I set it. After driving it a day or two, I noticed the truck cranks longer when it is warm. Cold it starts just fine. I e-mailed Bob and he told me to try dropping rhe...

    Leveling Kit Question

    I was thinking of installing a 2 1/2" leveling kit on the front of my truck and a taller block from a F-350 in the back to make room for a slightly larger tire. Went to the local speed shop tonight, who does alot of lift kit business, and was told they do not make a leveling kit for the leaf...

    7.3L water pump rebuild?

    Anyone here ever rebuild the water pump on their 7.3? I replaced mine last week and the dealer didn't want the old one back. Looks easy enough to rebuild, so I thought a spare would be nice to have. I've rebuilt quite a few waterpumps from other diesel engines. Just need a little help...

    Fuel and coolant leaks.

    Had the hood up tonight to check all the fluids and found 2 different leaks. First one is fuel. Back of the fuel bowl and the engine valley is wet with fuel. Checked it out with a flashlight and I'm 95% sure it's coming from the drain valve. Where is a good place to get quality o-rings...

    6 speed synthetic fluid?

    The time has come to once again service the tranny on my truck. I really like the idea of having a filter on the tranny and plan on adding the Dieselsite filter kit. The last time the tranny was serviced, at 61,000 miles, the dealer did it. According to the bill, they used regular Mercon ATF...

    Compressor wheel ID.

    Is there any way to tell the difference between a wicked wheel and a stock wheel just by looking at it through the compressor inlet? The reason I ask is I suspect my truck may have one in it. I got the truck used with 51,000 miles on it, and I can tell it had some power adders on it before...

    CEL coming on at 2000 RPM

    Just helped a friend install a Wildman chip in his 02. When he gets into the throttle on the daily driver tune the CEL comes on at about 2000 RPM. He doesn't have gauges installed yet, so I'm not sure if this is just being caused be overboost or not. After he lets out of the throttle, the...
