97 7.3

I'm all stock fuel wise, so I dont know. But I have talked to several people with them in there and it seems that they do make a noticeable difference. I want to do one when i go bigger on the injectors.

Axle swaps

Hey guys! Truck is still running great, but I once again broke my D50 TTB. Luckily yesterday I found out that a friend has two f350's available to me he said I can have a whole truck if I want. I'm going to swap axles from one and go to 4.10s, the other truck is being scrapped because the front...

TunnelRam7_3 1997 ccsb build thread

You're the guy with the Eaton TVS 7.3?? That truck is absolutely amazing! I want to go Sam Wyse or BTS, but dont have funds currently and dont have a need as of right now. So how does it feel to drive a s/c'd 7.3 vs a normal one?

So not a whole lot has changed, truck runs great and looks awesome still, but its started to hard start in warm weather. It's about 90 every day here and sometimes out of the blue it cranks and starts HARD. I think it's all okay, I think it's just the stock 320k injectors starting to get tired...

ISO 7.3 injectors

I'd say a 175 or 180 cc would be good for it. You could also do baby swamps, but they're a lot smaller, but also cheaper. The 38r would clean baby swamps and probably go well with 175/180 injectors.

Help! Turbo failure

Yeah so it is stock but he will throw in the performance stuff for an added price, I misunderstood. That's the 180k one. The 111k one is stock from a work truck. Hes leaning 111k with his performance stuff thrown in. I actually lean towards the 180k one.

Help! Turbo failure

So my buddy with the truck had his former Ford diesel tech uncle come look at it last night, and the issue is slightly more severe than we thought. Turns out the truck was sold to him with a bad bearing on cylinder number 1 which desintegrated and destroyed the cylinder and piston head. It now...

Help! Turbo failure

Hey guys, my best friend bought a 2000 f250 7.3, it's got 320,000 miles or so. It has a 4" do, 5" exhaust, 180cc full force injectors, and an sct tuner with custom tunes. One day he got on it in the hot tune and it lost power and made a blowing noise. I believe the blowing noise to be a broken...

I'm in Missouri. That's another concern for me. How bad would shipping be from one of these shops?

TunnelRam7_3 1997 ccsb build thread

Which is best? BTS, ATS, Tom Woods, or Sam Wyse for a built e4od? I'd like to spend no more than $4500. The transmission is the main weak point of these trucks imo so I want to build that first. So please anyone who has one of these, why did you get it, what did you pay, and would you recommend...
