    Is this really a thing? NAPA oil filters

    So, my wife is returning from a 1,000 mile road trip in her '02 7.3. We have owned this truck since almost new and she has put the far majority of the 293K miles on it to date. She knows this truck. She calls me on the way home and it is acting "weird", occasionally losing power, won't rev past...

    Injector, right?

    Was towing today through some of the local mountains, certainly not the first time with this set up or on these roads. Engine runs great, strong, smooth, normal boost and EGT's when suddenly it loses power and we coast over to the side of the highway. As soon as I push in the clutch it dies. I...

    Wow, electrical weirdness...

    Wife's truck so almost all information is second hand to me. She insists that everything was fine until today. Windows sometimes worked and other times not. Then the A/C quit at random times without turning any switches. Then the aftermarket gauges went full sweep while she was driving and...

    Weird one...engine miss for specific time?

    Back again folks with an issue I don't remember ever reading about here. Turn key on, all gauges and lights are normal - SES light stays on. Engine cranking is normal, even starts normally. Once it is running it feels like it has a dead miss, SES light is lit for exactly 40 seconds then, bam...

    Blue smoke on cold start...

    Yes, I know blue = oil, white = fuel, black = too much fuel, blah, blah. That isn't my question. My scenario is this. Blue smoke on cold start ups, has a fuel type smell - makes your eyes water, but is blue smoke, and never ANY smoke on warm starts. Engine starts, runs perfectly irregardless of...

    Add me to the injector install club!

    I always get a sense of satisfaction when I can do things for myself. :thumbsup: I was able to do my first injector swap today pulling out my stock AD's/AE and replacing them with some of Unlimited's Stage 1.5's A-codes. Many, many thanks to all the threads on here about other people's installs...

    WTB: 7.3L dipstick and tube

    Hey folks, when I was taking off the passenger side valve cover the upper mount for the engine oil dipstick tube spun with the nut and twisted the dipstick and tube to the point that they both broke (air ratchet - happened fast). Anywho, I am going to need one and figured someone had to have an...

    Ruh-roh, SES and vibration

    Wife comes home earlier today and says I need to drive her truck (the '02 in sig) because of a vibration that started suddenly within a couple miles of the house. SES immediately came on at the same time. I drive the truck, everything is normal until it tries to lock the TC and it feels like it...

    Glow plug system findings and questions

    I have had a very random no start issue, only 3 times in the last two months. Complete no start with tons of white smoke from the tailpipe (and under the hood but that's another question...). After waiting around 5 - 15 minutes I go try it again it coughs, sputters, then runs completely normal...

    Wicked wheel or no?

    I am rebuilding my stock turbo as I write this and have the option of putting the wicked wheel back on it or putting the stock SD wheel on it. I hear the stock wheel flows a bit more air and I need all I can get up here in elevation. I have never had an issue with surge - ever. Stock injectors...

    Dick Cepek Radial F-C II review

    I read a ton of reviews from multiple sources comparing BFG's (personal experience), Goodyear's (personal experience), Pro Comp's (no personal experience), Dick Cepek's (no personal experience), and a few other tires and the Dick Cepek's always got good reviews. Best of all is they are supposed...

    Random sounds from flywheel area (I searched)

    Hey All, On the wife's truck, a few months ago it developed a random sound that is only audible outside the truck. I described it as sounding like a small rock was bouncing around between the TC and the inspection cover, an occasional "ting.......ting, ting,......ting....." when idling. It...
