    CCV Modification for 7.3L

    CCV mod There's more benefit than you think, I guess if it's done right. I was at the friendly Ford dealer to pick mine up on warranty, and there certified diesel tech who was about 20 told me my turbo was going to fail early because of the CCV mod. He said thats how the turbo get's oiled. I...

    fpr mod

    The best program I came up with was the IT diesel end cap with the reg. gutted and plumb a adj. regulator to do the job. 105psi is the max pressure for all around performance.

    zoodad mod

    Zoo Dad mod A big jump ahead is to trim out the core support an put a 4" tube back into the stock air box. The results are noticable right away and with some plastic work can be adaped to any aftermarket air intake.:D

    Overdrive light flashing

    OD light Well, one of mine does it because of the chip and the other one did it because of a broken wire in the shifter harness. I think it was about $50.00 at the stealership.

    Shimming the FPR 99-03 7.3

    FPR shim Get a shop rag or two stuffed in the spaces under the filter housing so you can catch any parts that get loose. Also a small magnet set up where your working will catch most everything but the stainless. I was adding shims every month to keep the pressure up. I bought a new high...

    Shimming the FPR 99-03 7.3

    Fuel pressure Ya, thats not a job I look forward doing. I want to step up to 200cc injectors so I better start talking myself into how fun it will be.

    Shimming the FPR 99-03 7.3

    Fuel pressure Bill, I know you don't agree with me on the fuel pressure setting. I have 40,000 on mine at 105psi. The engine has 130,000 on it. Everybody agrees that the boost to 70psi is great but the jump to 95 to 105psi is awesome. Gillette diesel has seen close to 20hp at the 105psi...

    O/D light flashing

    O/D light Another cause for the blinking light is the harness for the shifter. It has real fine wires that break after a time.:cool:

    Shimming the FPR 99-03 7.3

    shimming I think was as easy as shimming but now I can adjust to what ever I want. You need the new cap from DI that has a 1/8 pipe port because you gut the factory reg. I mounted the reg on a alt bolt. Put 3/8 hose nipples in and use fuel injector hose. I had some parker push lok hose that has...

    Shimming the FPR 99-03 7.3

    Pressure Your fuel pressure shold be the same weather idling or 3500rpm. You either have a weak pump or weak relief. I'd look at the regulator first. I had one last year come to me with low pressure and the housing was broken and all the valve pieces were in the fuel line. This one was sluggish...

    Shimming the FPR 99-03 7.3

    Shimming I have the Gillette spring in my shop. It ran 120. I call and they said it would calm down in a few days. It did and thats how I discovered they will run on less than 20psi. I have a rolling test bench and didn't want to be stuck with one setting. I used the DI reg. cap replacement...

    pick your brains on modules...

    modules Just installed a PPE that came from e-bay for $300.00. This is awesome, what a shift program, traction bars are not a option.

    Should I shim the Fuel Regulator

    shimming Shimming does make a differance accross the board but if youlike to play around and change your tune you have to tear into her again. I use a DI fpr cap that replaces the factory stuff. The cap has a 1/8npt port in it. I use Parker 601 hose and a little rice rocket adj. regulator. I...

    Fuel Pressure gauge?

    Fuel gauge Diesel innovations has a little $9 cap with a 1/8 pipe port. I plumbed a adj. reg and gauge off the cap. You can play with your fuel pressure with ease. This cap replaces the factory reg. I used parker 601 hose, rated to 1250 psi.

    Twin HPOP

    I'm not moving as fast as I had planed but getting set up for a bench run is time consuming. I have an alum. gear pump and an shaft adapter to replace the alt. nut. I have to get a flow divider so I won't over run the IPR's. I could run the engine with this .58 cu.in. pump. The stock pump can...

    My X steers sloppy !!!

    Sloppy steering I have posted recently about the spring bushings. They don't have to have much play and your all over the road. The energy kit is awesome. At the same time I copied the Fabtec parts and put dual shocks and steering stabilizeras on. This like having a new truck again. Now if I...

    My X steers sloppy !!!

    front end slop I just passed the 100,000mi mark and I'm surprised how good the ball joints are. It took a while locally and on line to find someone that had the spring eye bushings in urethane so I'm 5 weeks out now. The stabilizer is also not real popular. There are three sizes of front bars...

    high pressure oil crossover hose?

    HXP I used -4 lines, yes two. They wrap around to the front by the fuel filter and hook in a tee fitting. I use the extra port for a gauge or my extra high pressure pump.

    My X steers sloppy !!!

    steering I looked in radius rods, hellwig bars, ball joints and tierod ends. My truck needed spring eye bushings. I broke my own rule. Keep it simple stupid!

    FPR shim?

    FPR Had another nightmare, I bought a new FPR cap from DI. This one replaces the factory cap and has a 1/8 npt port. I got a reg. from a rice rocket site in a kit with gauge and mounting bracket. This is the way it should be done. Smooth adjustment to any pressure you choose. The gauge on the...

    FPR shim?

    FPR Navistar has a high torque setting of 250hp and 620ft. lbs that is set at 72psi. Setting the fuel pump issue aside, my dealer here said the bore clearance around injector is the same between the oil rail and the fuel rail. The oil rail sustains up to 3000psi. I called GDS the other day and...
