    Truckless since 1/3/12

    Its just one injector.....or maybe a connector issue on the passenger side bank???? Checked the drivers side (because it was the easiest) and the motor draws down when I unplug each injector. It is running rich, idles bad, smoke ....yada yada. I am gonna go ahead and order 8 new injectors...

    Tuff but Fragile?

    I have only had this thing a few months. You learn as you go. I love my truck & I have acquaintances that have them, and a couple guys I know work on them for a living. It would appear that the longevity of these motors comes at a hefty price. They may go 500k, but takes many $$$$$ to get there...

    What is it that goes bad??

    In these injectors? The solenoid? O rings? something internal? or just any and all. I have seen videos of guys cleaning them, new o rings etc. Way cheaper than replacing them......but it seems like that might be a waste of time in certain applications, but you won't know until you do all...

    Horse knocked out my Mirror glass

    Sorry if this is redundant, but I did do a search on here, and on line in general, and can't find it. Some tutorial with big pictures & not many words would be great, kind of like a DR Seuss book This is a power mirror. How do you get the mirror glass back in?.... Nothing is broken, the little...

    Boost PSI when cold

    100 hp tune, 01/f250, straight exhaust, tymar type intake. Wastegate is unplugged. Engine was warm, but not really up to operating temp, I was checking something else (annoying exhaust rattle somewhere) Boost would get 22-24, then when at full operating temp, couldn't make more than 17 for any...

    BOOST / question(s)

    I just know only basic turbo stuff...... so basically the turbo only makes boost under load.....correct? At 70 mph unloaded, I show no boost, meaning to me, in layman's terms, that the natural intake is equal to or more than the turbo puts out. Right? Wrong?...??? The turbo is just sort of...

    DIY Ported Housing???

    Apologies in advance if this has been posted before. I just saw a good write up on doing this. It was on a rice burner forum, but the principals are the same. Has anyone done this and if so, did it help. Surge is always a concern, and to the extent I can, I "drive around it" , but to abate...

    Why Does a Wicked Wheel......

    Generally make more whistle, but (I have heard) actually flows a bit less, because of "shaved" vanes or something I understand it is supposed to spool quicker, and "varying opinions" on actually a wee bit LESS h/p. If I can keep the H/P + or -, I'd buy one just to get more whistle. I have no...

    Boost / Vacume

    I was talking with a friend who works out of his house on powerstrokes. Just shootin the $hit, and showed him a 60psi air gauge. I asked why it wouldn't work. He said because it doesn't read vacuum. The hole tapped for the boost gauge fitting is vacuum not pressure. He sia if It were ever...

    7.3's and 6.7's

    I overheard a conversation today, about 2 guys racing down a state HWY. Other than the stupidity of that, I asked who one, the 2011 owner said..."Well I did of course, he had a 7.3" My thoughts later, were that, the 6.7 obviously has good H/P (400BHP) and TQ (700+), and that you cant compare...

    Exhaust Adapter Needed

    I was gonna replace my 3 1/2 " down pipe with a 4", but it's not money really well spent, so I want to go as far as I can before the up bend, and connect to 4" all the way out just for looks and sound. I have all the 4" pipe I need. Just need a reducer. I can't get it in my mind what I need...
