    F450/550 cab&chassis exhaust

    Yes, fit great and install was easy. Although i did have to tweak the tailpipe a bit to clear my mud flap. But that has nothing to do with Flo-Pro. Although looking back i would try to get a kit without a muffler as the hangers are welded on the muffler and would be a pain to remove in the future.

    7.3 Headgasket questions

    The engine will be coming out to fix some oil leaks regardless, but at this point my plan is to pull the drivetrain out of my 97 ECLB and throw it in my ECSB and make a cheap racer/puller/toy out of it. Not going to put many miles on it or work it, otherwise i'd be getting another engine. Just...

    7.3 Headgasket questions

    My truck has not really moved since January 2016 i believe, the stock turbo started squealing on Christmas Eve and it got parked. Before that my sidewalk crew had been using it to move snow blowers and salt around a large condo complex, at some point the A/C compressor locked up and my belt went...

    I wouldn't. As long as it runs good and everything checks out go for it. Oddly enough from everything i've noticed online these engines either run or they don't, not much of an in between that is hard to notice like a 7.3. LOL I bought my '14 last January with 53k miles, currently sitting at...

    Parts needed to put CCV back on with S&B intake

    Long story short whoever previously owned on our 04 6.0 Excursion was a moron. I didn't go with my brother when he bought it this summer and never looked it over good once he brought it home, but its a pretty solid running 190k Ex so can't complain too much. But as i was re-doing the EGR ******...

    15 lariat CC/SB 20K miles 49K obo

    Does it have a block heater and snow plow prep? It shows it has a 200 amp alternator, just curious if thats correct.

    Pulling engine cab on.

    Do 6.0's have lift hooks like a 7.3 or do you have to make your own? On the V10 i had to bolt to holes on the front of the block, and the top 2 trans holes from the valley out. I've done plenty of oil changes on em but never actually paid attention to them having hooks or not.

    Best route for 185k mile 6.0

    IF the front cover is fine should we replace the LPOP or just leave it? Looks like a new OEM pump is only $80, so wouldn't be a big deal to add it on the list.

    Pulling engine cab on.

    I'm actually getting ready to do this in the near future and curious as well. Don't have a 2 post lift yet so we're just going to yank the engine out and do it all on a stand. May unbolt the cab and jack it up a little so we can paint the frame as well. I've swapped engines in an OBS 7.3, SD...

    Best route for 185k mile 6.0

    The reason for wanting to get it done in a weekend is we'd be working in his neighbors shop, and don't really want to tie it up for days or weeks waiting on heads to get machined. But if thats what it takes then so be it. Original plan after the local 6.0 shop kept blowing him off for months was...

    Best route for 185k mile 6.0

    Even though we have a couple 6.0's in the family i'm not real familiar with them outside of regular maintenance. Good friend of mine bought a 05 KR DRW out of Texas back in January. Truck was obviously used to tow, but is bone stock and runs/drives great. Currently sitting around 185k miles...

    Washing/Detailing

    Changed the oil in the Jeep and spent $430 on new engine mounts and a thermostat for it, figured i might as well give the engine a good detail before i tear into it next weekend. Cleaned up pretty good for a 135k mile diesel. Also gave the mini-ex a 2 step polish and wax, the plastic engine...

    Resonator or muffler to quiet the turbo?

    How does the twister compare to a FTE? Looks like its about $30 cheaper than the FTE. Has anybody ever re-used the factory resonator? Just remembered that my stock exhaust is sitting out in the scrap pile, 2 4" couplers and some clamps would be cheaper than a new resonator, IF it works halfway...

    Resonator or muffler to quiet the turbo?

    Tuned my '14 6.7 a while back with a SCT/Tyrant and a Flo Pro 4" stainless kit. The sound didn't bother me at first but its slowly getting on my nerves. Its fine cruising but at idle/accelerating when the vanes are closed the hair drier sound is beyond annoying, and of course the damn whooo when...

    Washing/Detailing

    Oh believe me, i've been thinking about how i want to tackle the equipment. LOL Everything here is ours except the tracked Kubota. Might do some test spots with the D151 AIO just to see what happens.

    Washing/Detailing

    Can't believe i'm just now finding this thread. LOL Wasn't real big into detailing before i bought my truck, but after spending a good chunk of change on a black truck i became addicted to keeping it clean. Either the dealer had the paint corrected before i bought it, or the PO was just anal...

    Upgraded Power Steering Pump Installed

    Good find! Is the pump any quieter?

    6.7 service intervals

    Thanks for the info guys, definitely gives me a better idea on what i want to do with this truck. For the rear diff with the electronic locker, does it need any sort of additive like a clutched limited slip, or just dump in 75-140(or whatever spec is) and go? And i haven't even crawled under...

    Boost question

    Its interesting that OBS's act so different truck to truck. My 97 would hit 40-50psi all day long with stock tuning, ******** tunes, and then my own tunes at the end. No type of regulator, and 0 defueling or anything. Would occasionally throw a CEL for overboost, but not all the time. I have the...

    6.7 service intervals

    Bought my '14 with 53k miles in mid January, and put 7500 miles on it so far. About 2500 miles overdue for a oil change, and my service reminder came on yesterday. The first 53k of its life was easy, it never had a hitch in the receiver or hauled anything. But since i bought it i've put 3-4k...
