    biodiesel vs wvo for 7.3

    Modify the oil? Or modify your truck. As mentioned, both have their sets of pros and cons. The biggest deciding factor would be driving habits. If most of your trips are less than 20 miles, then go biodiesel. WVO works best if you're at full operating temperature. So to get your WVO up to the...

    Question Bilstein shocks

    On my 2001, boots down in front, boots up in rear. Can't remember model number, but they're the yellow Bilsteins with the blue botots.

    High presure oil change?

    That whole hpop/oil rail set up cycles its oil just as frequently as the rest of the lubrication system.

    Anyone use Biodiesel?

    I water wash. I make 45 gal batches and use 50-60 gal of water per batch. I run B100 whenever it's above 40F. When it dipped into the upper teens a couple weeks ago I cut my tank with pump diesel to about B50. I'll run B60-B70 most of the winter. Pretty mild most of the time here in Seattle. I...

    slip joint

    I was able to re-use one of mine after carefully taking it off. For the other end I used a zip tie.

    Biod?

    Cost me maybe 250-300 bucks, plus I had a lot of parts lying around. Kinda' depends on what your abilities are with fabricating, sourcing out parts etc. Actually, the most expensive parts were the ball valves. With my set up, I needed 9 of them. Usually 6-9 bucks a shot. Check out 'how to make...

    Biod?

    I have a 55 gallon drum processor I made. Plans and procedures all over the web. I have been making it for over a year now. I have a few small volume restaurants where I have parked a barrel for them to dump their used oil. It's pretty much a hobby for personal use.

    Biod?

    Absolutely. As Dave said, you might encounter filter plugging as bio is an amazing solvent and if you have any tank build up from dino, it will end up on your filter and plug it. Depends on the condition of your tank to begin with though. Didn't happen to me. Your truck will love it. Bio...

    photos My processor set up

    Chris, Finally got some pics for you. If you have any questions about my set up, let me know. The pic of the 3/4" plug with a 3/16" hole drilled in it is screwed into the tank inlet from the pump. Works for me to create a strong violent mixing action. I make 170 litre/45 gallon batches...

    photos My processor set up

    Gimme a day or so, and I'll try and get some for you. You'll have to pardon the mess around it. I got too many things going on at the same time, not the least of which is another 45 gallon batch!

    photos My processor set up

    Hehe, no, my neighboors all know what I'm doing. The wok is something I had around, and I like that it helps with draining, and it adds another 4-5 gallons capacity. Not really necessary though. I guess I'll take any excuse to pull out my mig and acetalyne set ups. I wired a 240v water...

    photos My processor set up

    As promised a while back, here are some pics of my biodiesel processor. Fabricated out of a 55 drum with a wok brazed to the bottom. My methoxide mixer is a keg with an air drill to mix. I'm closing in on the 500 gallon mark next 45 gallon batch. Just under a year doing this, so I'm still a...

    Question Front? Driveline vibration.

    Ok.....Bummer, I thought it might be! I've been looking on ebay and seen pairs at around $260-$300 shipped. Sound about right?

    Question Front? Driveline vibration.

    Two seperate times today, upon taking off from a stop, I got this strong vibration. Both times I engaged 4x4 switch on the dash for about 10 seconds, switched back to 2x4, and it went away. Hubs are unlocked. I haven't had a chance to get under the truck yet, but wanted to see if anyone here...

    Thanks everyone! I fabricated a processor with a 55 gal drum, brazed a wok to the bottom of it to help draining and increase capacity. My methoxide mixer is a keg with an air drill mounted on it. I hope to get pix of my truck up in the near future. I'll try and post some pix of my...

    Question 120 amp battery isolator

    I have an '01 7.3 with one alternator. I want to run a battery in the bed for other accesories. I have a 120 amp isolator. Does anyone know if this will work with the alternator I have. I thought I heard this was a 130 amp alternator.

    Hello all. Actually I've been poking around for a few months, but like what I see and there seems to be some great input here. After looking for months, I found a super clean Lariat with 120k on it last year. I definitely wanted a 7.3 due to the fact I make my own biodiesel and the 7.3 is one...
