[QUOTE="mjonesjr, post: 65177, member: 1076"] [B](5/6/11)[/B] I added a bug shield today. [ATTACH=full]181774[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181775[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181776[/ATTACH] I also added a set of gauges to it yesterday. I thought I should monitor the EGT's and the transmission temp. [ATTACH=full]181777[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181778[/ATTACH] [B](5/30/11)[/B] I did the 6637 filter mod a couple weeks ago. I finally got it painted and put back in this weekend. This makes all the difference in the world in air intake and lower EGT's. It is much cheaper than any aftermarket intake system that does the same thing. This cost me total of $75 ($65 of which was the filter, WIX). [ATTACH=full]181779[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181780[/ATTACH] I also added a torque converter lockup switch today. I was amazed the difference in how the truck would pull itself and how well the transmission did down shifting during braking. Without the switch engaged, the transmission would go to neutral when you hit the brakes; now it down shifts. [ATTACH=full]181781[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181782[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181783[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181784[/ATTACH] [B](6/5/11)[/B] I washed the truck up this weekend and took a couple pictures of it. [ATTACH=full]181785[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181786[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181787[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181788[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181789[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181790[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181791[/ATTACH] I also added a 2.5# ABC fire extinguisher in the cab. I have a 10# ABC extinguisher in the tool box as well. [ATTACH=full]181792[/ATTACH] [B](6/11/11)[/B] I got my windows tinted. They are Indiana legal, 20% rear sides and rear windows and 30% front door windows. Much better looking, cooler in the 94+ heat, and keeps people from being nosey. [ATTACH=full]181793[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181794[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181795[/ATTACH] [B](6/14/11)[/B] I got a new set of shocks. Took forever to get them from 4 Wheel Parts (3 weeks). [B]Old vs. New:[/B] [ATTACH=full]181796[/ATTACH] [B]Front Installed:[/B] They were changed when I realized they were upside down [ATTACH=full]181797[/ATTACH] [B]Rear Installed:[/B] (Took the boots off to keep crap from rusting the piston) [ATTACH=full]181798[/ATTACH] [B](6/22/11)[/B] I decided to see what the fuel pressure was. Just so happens that a normal fuel pressure gauge to go on the schrader valve wouldn't fit because of the mount to lift the engine out. I decided to build my own. It was quite easy with some 1/8" brass fittings and a 300PSI liquid filled gauge. [ATTACH=full]181799[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181800[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181801[/ATTACH] Started by removing the HPOP and fuel bowl cover. [ATTACH=full]181802[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181803[/ATTACH] Put everything back together and got this. I kept the schrader valve in case I ever wanted to check the gauge itself. This way also made it easier to get to the schrader valve. [ATTACH=full]181804[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181805[/ATTACH] This was my fuel pressure right after putting the gauge on. (bounced between 25-40PSI) [ATTACH=full]181806[/ATTACH] I removed this out of the fuel bowl. [ATTACH=full]181807[/ATTACH] I put in a zinc plated BB in below the spring. [ATTACH=full]181808[/ATTACH] Once I put this back into the fuel bowl, I got this PSI on my gauge. (bounced between 50-70PSI) [ATTACH=full]181809[/ATTACH] It seems to idle a little better now. I haven't driven it yet, but I would imagine it will run better as well. [B](7/6/11)[/B] I installed a HPOP cross over line. It helps smooth out spikes in PSI in the high pressure oil that runs the Powerstroke fuel injectors. I picked this up from Strictly Diesel ( [url]http://shop.strictlydiesel.com/store.php/products/KCM_OBS_HPX[/url] ). After installing and starting the truck, the injectors seem to be a bit quieter than before. I have yet to drive it with the cross over. This is a quality piece. It took me about 20 minutes to install. [ATTACH=full]181810[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181811[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
