I bought my whole set-up in my F-250 from Dennis at ITP (now Sinister) Diesel. AutoMeter Gauges I got Pyro, Boost and Trans Temp as my truck is an Auto. But any diesel website can fix you up with what you need. You get what you pay for, Pyrometers are very sensitive instruments and...

Best make sure you are getting Non-PCB Transformer oil.

Chevrolets are terrible for the sending unit going bad. I have an old 1988 Chevrolet Astro Van that goes through them every couple years. Does your gauge bounce/jerk around any at all? Unless you ingested water into the intake, or got quite a bit of water in the oil.. I can't see...

Whenever possible, place the Pyrometer probe before the turbo in the manifold, or in the Y-crossover pipe (if a V8 which this is) If placing the probe after the turbo, always place it as close as possible to the outlet of the turbo, and be aware that temperatures will be from 100 degrees...

TexAndy, I know very little about the Deuce and I'm not going to pretend I have an idea of what it's limitations and specs and what the components will take. My knowledge is limited to the 7.3L powerstroke and related engines and most of that knowledge is from doing performance work on...

The IDI engine has decent potential, however, The problem with them is the compression is so high on them compared to the powerstroke that if you Turbo it, you can only get 5-10PSI of boost reliably, which would be enough. If it were I, I would sell your current 7.3, then buy a an actual...

I know anything about the Deuce injection system, I will say what I do know. In my past experiences, you must replace the washers on an injector. Some systems are higher PSI than others and you may get away with it. From what I know, the injectors are basically valves, and the injection...

Maybe I can help a little bit with my knowledge of diesels and souping them up. Wastegated turbo+ lower compression pistons = greater boost normally, but it's not so simple as that. There are some reasons there is a wastegate on that turbo, and not the other turbos. The wastegate serves as...

I probably should get one with a winch because I was thinking of using it as a Recovery vehicle on occasion, take it out on the "powerline" which is a trail that runs between two substations in this area, about 20 miles worth of hills, dips, mud bogs, etc.. Although, I am super attracted to...

That's the reaction I was hoping I'd get about it. I have a good feeling about the truck's condition, granted, this is the first one I have looked at. NEW rubber with the nubblies still present on the sides. We started it and it did not puff any smoke at all. It's got an injector that's not...

This truck is a recent purchase from GL in Columbia SC, the truck is complete, drivable, has brakes and pretty much comes with EVERYTHING. The person selling it is in the Air Force and has been informed that he may be transferred, hence the reason for selling it. SF97 has not come back...

You'll probably have to install a larger turbo if you want more boost reliably. I'm not an expert of course, but turbos are built/mapped for a specific maximum boost. I don't have time right now, or I would go more in depth.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I hope to find something that has power steering (or air assist) so that a smaller steering wheel, OR a u-joint may be placed in the steering shaft so the wheel can be placed closer and more vertical to the dash. I am 6'5" and quite a bit overweight and...

Thanks Guys, trust me... as soon as my money's right... I will be getting something. I've got access to 400+ gallons of used motor oil and the Multifuel is a must for me.

Found out who owns the truck this morning, and got the phone number for him. The clutch is out in it, it REQUIRES ether to start in any temperature, it burns oil and has been sitting for 19 months. The price? $2500 with the axles. He wants the axles (all 3!) out of it and was very rude...

Hello Everyone, My name is Brian Hicks, I am 23 years of age (24 on the 22nd) and I was fascinated by the M35A2 as a kid, as well as the 5 ton Variant for three reasons. 1. Living in the old Camp Butner, I used to see the trucks run up and down the roads all the time going to and from the...
