    Question 1.00 A/R turbine housings?

    Works well with stock inj. Quicker spoolup. The .84 with a gate is ok if not towing heavy loads. Bill

    water4fuel

    Jim When we were making hydro to set off the #2 fuel we had good results. We did not get into PWM. We made enough hydro at a 8amp load for use at hwy cruise. We had gains in MPG. The problem is you have to keep the Ox and hydro spilt and draft into the motor split. Not hard to do the hydro...

    low injector voltage

    The IDM (Injector Driver Module) has a fail safe. In the event of a failure (high resistance) it will shunt the bank of injectors off so not to burn itself out. Connections burn from HEAT (motor/gp's load/corroded ect). THEY BREAK DOWN. Also 97 (cali/van) happens to be a year that has GPM...

    low injector voltage

    CU Its a common problem in a PSD. GP load and high injector voltage. The IDM will shunt itself. So not to burnup. Bill

    97 E4OD issues

    I would say the TC is draining down. Check the valve. I have seen some remove the valve to increase flow. If you remove the rear line. The fitting that the line goes in is the check valve. Dont see alot of check valve failures. Bill

    97 E4OD issues

    Check the level before you start it up. Could be the anti drain back valve is defective or something in it allowing the fuild to rise in the pan. This valve keeps the TC full. The valve is in the return line in the rear of trans. A drastic rise in fluid hot could be your running to hot and its...

    Fuel Regulator Screen Cleaning ** Updated **

    The screen is to keep dirt from clogging the return restrictor. If screen becomes clogged you cannot purge air out of the filter. Bill

    Fuel Regulator Screen Cleaning ** Updated **

    Rich The only time you have to check spool valve is when you are having pressure problems. Otherwise no need to clean. Something big would have to get the valve stuck. Anything small will pass the valve then pass the check ball and rest in the area where fuel goes back to tank. There is a...

    Fuel Regulator Screen Cleaning ** Updated **

    This statement of inj o-rings clogging the FPR screen is a complete fraud. Yes o-ring for the spool valve. What cloggs the screen was pumped into your tank, or grew in the tank (germ). Can anyone explain how an o-ring (parts) can do this? Its impossible. Bill

    Vehicle speed sensor location?

    The sensor is in the T-case.(rear) If 2wheel drive. Its in the tail of the trans. Bill

    no go

    Just for your info. Next time. First check I/P fuse #8---30amp. It feeds the fuel heater and coil for gpr in E-Series. Bill

    Gelled fuel? Help!

    If it gelled at the pickup screen in the tank (or any restriction) the vac on the line will open a valve thats a few inches above the screen to allow fuel flow. Now with a 1/4 tank of fuel you will pull air into the system. I would say you pulled air into the fuel system and the injector knock...

    Oil coolers...worth the money?

    Yes it would be worth the money!!! Without my cooler the temps would get as high as 260. With the cooler is runs at 230. I have a 180 thermo to bypass the cooler. Opt temp for oil is 230. One thing these powerstrokes due is beat up on oil. As far as a cooler comes from factory.-----Trans cooler...

    Another use for Glow Plugs? Combustion Temp Sensors

    Just seems more feasable to use gp as thermocouple, and use an alternative to start cold. EOT mod, air intake heater ect. I like the idea. Right now i have alot of startup smoke now that its cold out. I think its due to one or more broken nozzel springs. Iam going to test temps with a lazer...

    Another use for Glow Plugs? Combustion Temp Sensors

    Joat Do you know max load of one GP? 8 mini relays might reak havoc on an allready crappy GP system. Maybe an AIH for startup and gp's for temp testing. Bill

    Quality Testing #2 Fuel

    I test every tank of fuel with Kent-More #J34352-3 Hydrometer. Is this still a valid test with the new Fuel? My testing have been showing gas/diesel mix. Seeing if i have to change fuel station or Hydrometer. BILL
