    Anyone ever convert their stock manual hubs to auto?

    I have manual hubs and T case on my E99. In winter I tend to just leave the hubs locked and shift from 2H to 4H when needed since the road conditions and weather in CO mtns can go from sunny dry roads to a blizzard just by changing location a few miles. If I'm just driving around local its not a...

    Dual remote IPR's

    Ok, so I have this custom HRT Dual Remote IPR block and a fairly expensive set of custom hoses that I was planning to use with a set of twins (those are long gone and good riddance) But I'm still thinking of using it. Mostly for ease of access to the IPR. I was also thinking I could set it up as...

    Glowshift gauges any good?

    I have 4 different styles/brands of gauges that have been slightly annoying me since I got the truck, and I dont like any of them (especially the Banks gauges) so I'm looking to get a matched set. I like the Glowshift gauge packages on Amazon with the color options but I don't know anything abut...

    38r might be toast, looking at KC center section

    Any reports on this? Pretty sure turbo bearing seals are leaking. Just made cross country trip and went through a LOT of oil (1qt/100miles roughly). New injector o-rings. Injectors pass buzz and contribution tests. Startup is quick, even in -0 (zero) deg/-11 w/windchill on just GP's it fires...

    Source for Oilguard filters?

    Went to install my last on hand filter, and a frickin mouse got at it. Looked online and apparently Oilguard is out of business and URL redirects to some place selling gold plated filters based on the cost. Anyone know of a reasonable priced filter? Otherwise I'll probably just get rid of the...

    Oilguard filters?

    Figured best place to ask is the guys who are the authorities on filtration. :D What's the best place to get these? Apparently Oilguard is no longer in business? I found filters at the redirect for Oilguard web address but man, they are not cheap. I would probably just toss the bypass kit at...

    Tuning components

    Does anyone know where to source the romulator and ts chip burners etc? I've spent a lot of time looking around this evening with no luck. Sniper and PHP dont seem to have any TS chip components, maybe I didnt look hard enough. I need to be able to A. put single shot tune on my PCM, and B. pull...

    HPOP

    What's the best option these days? My Bosch rebuild just went out, looking to see if there's an alternative to that or just stick with a Bosch 17*. I see Full Force makes a stage 1 for around the same price. Still running Swamps 175's so don't need, or want, "Big Oil" (already went through...

    Ford HD4R100 Fluid.

    Not sure exactly where this belongs but the transmission came from Ford so not really aftermarket. Got a Ford built HD4R100 several years ago, just recently installed it. Tag says Mercon V, but reading around there's all kinds of "don't use Mercon V" etc. I wouldn't even have thought about it...

    Clearing oil from cylinders after injector R&R

    Hey guys, been awhile since I posted here. Finally doing some work on the old 7.3 and new orings and gp's are on the menu. Was refreshing my knowledge and reading some articles, ran across a pdf from Swamps that said blowing the oil out of the gp holes was a no-no and could cause engine damage...

    Popping out of 4low manual xfer case

    So as long as I'm pulling the trans I may as well fix this issue too. xfer case pops out of 4low requiring kind of holding the lever especially under load. My 96 had this issue too. Any ideas what the cause is and the fix? thanks.

    Opinions on auto tranny issue

    Well I think my tranny is toast, although I've yet to dig into it since it was towed home last night. For the last few months I've been having an issue with it not engaging in reverse, requiring raising rpms then it would grab. Couple weeks ago it started doing the same in drive from a stop, rev...

    Pocket/Curtis tunes and Termie twins

    Stock pump blew the snap ring off the back and my attempt to push everything back in and run the pump was unsuccessful. Decided to put the Terminators back in without the dual IPR setup since I didn't have time to mess with any possible issues. I can hardly tell the difference between the stock...

    HPOP blew snap ring, replaced, no start stuck out of town.

    As title says HPOP blew the snap ring, tried putting it back together but no go, pump internals were torn up pretty good when I took it apart. Put the Termie twins on (refurbished by Joey since I pulled them the last time, so should be good) and I've cranked it over a LOT with no start, which in...

    Do you need more than one tune for DD/tow/race/mileage?

    Well my answer is no. My truck has been in the "hot" tune for months now and I'm getting the best mileage I've ever had, can safely tow 10,000 lbs over a 10,000 ft elev pass but when I go deep I have all the fuel my injectors can deliver. The shifting responds to the different loads...

    Responsive compounds AND low EGT's while towing/climbing hills at high altitude.

    A few weeks ago I was talking to Curtis after monitoring my EGT's climbing a VERY steep grade at around 9000ft elevation that has a speed limit of 50mph, which with 3:73's puts my RPM's very low in OD (I think it was 1750) which in turn will start bringing the EGT's up even running empty. Boost...
