Tuning the 7.3 in current times
When you had your engine built, did you put cut pistons in it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- 6.0 Tech

Ford 7.3 Passenger Bank Dead
Typically when I install a hydra I cut a window out of the pcm holder. Seen guys just not run it, but that doesn’t give me the warm and fuzzies. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
A few turbo questions and a rant
I apologize for how you were treated, twice. We do rebuild turbos fairly often for customers, be it one of ours that’s out of warranty, one they’d just like a refresh on, or the occasional warranty we have. I unfortunately don’t know the answer for you, as I don’t build turbos, I just throw in...- 6.0 Tech

Do not recommend Choate Engineering
That sounds like a cop out in the head gasket, seems like they may be mixing and matching gasket sets they’ve got laying around or something. Several things do seem wrong about this. First being the heads weren’t oringed originally? Seems like they’re cheaping out there, at least in the 6.0...- 6.0 Tech

Do not recommend Choate Engineering
Are they running 2 different head gaskets in the motor? That seems very odd seeing as buying a gasket kit they typically match. Not a duramax tech by any means, but seeing as they’re different colors, that’s a big red flag there Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- 6.0 Tech

2006 F-250 6.0 Power Stroke – Brakes Applying Themselves After Replacing Hydroboost & Master Cylinder
Maybe the master was built incorrectly, try warrantying it out, and see if that fixes it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- 6.0 Tech

2006 F-250 6.0 Power Stroke – Brakes Applying Themselves After Replacing Hydroboost & Master Cylinder
Seen it a couple times, the pushrod in the hydroboost may be adjustable, pulled the master back a little and see if you can adjust the rod. Can’t remember what the clearance spec is, but 1/16 of an inch would probably be a good starting point. I had to do this on my fox body when I put a 95...- 6.0 Tech

‘10 6.4 rebuild
As powerstroke cowboy said, that’s definitely a single. Being a 63mm, do you know the turbine housing size/turbine wheel size? 63 seems small for a 6.4, especially with the air these things can move. The white smoke can be a leaking seal on it, possibly from excessive back pressure if it has a...- 6.0 Tech

‘10 6.4 rebuild
Little bit of white smoke with it being cold isn’t really anything to worry about. If it looks like you’re fogging for mosquitoes or something, then I’d worry. I use a Pittsburgh cherry picker both at home and at the shop, they work. Definitely not really worth 10x the price for a good one. One...- 6.0 Tech

‘10 6.4 rebuild
Stock fuel refers to stock injectors/hi pressure pump. Personally, I’d delip the pistons, helps reduce the chances of cracking, however, does increase white smoke on cold start, and maybe some cold idle characteristics. My 6.0 is delipped and has valve reliefs, smokes pretty good on cold...- 6.0 Tech

‘10 6.4 rebuild
^whs I couldn’t have said it better myself. Our test truck is a 2010 Harley 6.4, and with dual k16s, 100% injectors, and our 59/80 drop in turbos we’ve done over 1000 to the wheels, not something we’d recommend long term, but doable. Given this is on a fully built kdd long block, with max force...- 6.0 Tech

Ford 7.3 Passenger Bank Dead
You’re gonna have all sorts of oddball shit happen with air in the oil, long cranks, random misfires, etc. gonna have to get it out and beat the piss out of it, and it ought to run fine. I typically will cruise out of od on the highway at 70ish mph for 5-10 miles, so it’s real high in the rpm... -
Ford 7.3 Passenger Bank Dead
Yeah, that’s probably right, can’t say I’ve ever had to actually test it, so not sure. Must’ve missed where you tested that, my bad. If it’s reading the same on both sides, it’s probably good. Now, really stupid question, as I have seen this a couple times, so don’t take offense to it, but...
