    EFR 9180

    Awesome info. Exactly what I was looking for. If I need to gate it, I'll need to come up with a different solution than where Irate puts the external gate. Even after modding my firewall for this S400, an external gate is going to go up through the firewall the way he has it. Thanks Jacob. I...

    EFR 9180

    I've been doing a bit of research on this turbo lately. I found some of the 6.0 guys here have tried it out and seem to like it and Jacob likes it on his D-max. Has anyone given this thing a try on a 7.3? Looking at the specs, it should flow more exhaust than the S366 most people run and with...

    Need vendor help. Looking for aftermarket 7.3l CAC\intercooler pipes and plenums

    Just because they are making that kind of boost doesn't mean too much in terms of power. You can make over 500hp with 35-40psi boost pretty easily..

    EBC Greenstuff

    I run EBC Greenstuff pads on the front of my F-150 and Hawk on the back. Running Hawk pads on the front of my F-250. Very happy with both brands of pads, but haven't tried the EBC pads on a heavier truck and pulling loads.

    Are the brakes supposed to feel like this?

    Brake booster ZERO LOSS (Ford) F5TZ-2005-CA The problem is either the original brake booster that loses vacuum over time which caused the pedal to fall or your drums might not be adjusted tight enough.... That is if you're sure the lines are bled correctly. This falling brake pedal is very...

    Headers

    The old ones didn't, but David said the new ones are gusseted. He also said the price has gone up on the new ones too.

    Why do we 7.3 guys lock our tc's early and during shifts, and the cummins guys cant?

    It's annoying trying to launch a manual truck no matter how you do it. 2.8 second 60' times suck and I'm tired of it... LOL

    Headers

    I forget the name of the company building the headers, but the new ones do have gussets to help prevent the cracking and warping problems people were having.

    My intelligent self crimped-off my boost gauge feed line

    I have spliced the plastic tubing before with some good vacuum line that fit over the plastic line really tight and then clamped the splice with a zip tie on each side. I ONLY did that because I was in a pinch and needed a quick fix. I later replaced the line with new tubing and compression...

    west racing billet heads

    I prefer not to worry about the money other people are spending on their toys and worry about my own.. I've dumped way too much money into my truck and I'll never get it back. That's ok though because I have fun with it. I see trucks all the time with 50k+ dumped into them and none of those...

    New clutch slipping..

    Call Valair.... Sounds like a spacing issue to me, especially if it's slipping that badly with stock injectors. They might have accidentally gotten the depth on the flywheel incorrect or something.

    New truck!

    LOL I can relate to this. Bought my OBS when I was 15 after saving up for two years. It's not easy modding a truck with your own money in high school. By the end of my senior year I had stage 1's, IC, TW tunes, 6637, exhaust, and gauges. Everything was bought used except the chip and air filter...

    2005 Axle Swap

    Does nobody know the angle of the '05+ tie rod end vs the stock OBS tie rod end? If the pitman arm just needs to be reamed out to the correct angle/size that would be easy, just gotta buy the stupid $60-$80 reamer.

    reliability

    I've been modifying mine for 130k miles. Did the first set of aftermarket injectors, which were stage 1's at 250k miles. I now have just over 380k. I try not to run mine very hard until it gets all the way up to 180*.... Until then I just take it easy running down the road.. I usually let it...

    PCS wiring

    I figured the OD on/off would be on a digital input, just wasn't sure. I'll work on getting that set up. If you wouldn't mind checking those 6 wires, I would appreciate it. I'm pretty sure the 4x4 module wires aren't getting hooked up. Oh yeah, where would the neutral safety wire in? I think...

    Dang. Definitely a clean truck, especially for the mileage. Good luck with the sale Bart. Wish I had the money for it myself.

    Bulletproof Aluminum Intercooler Tanks installed

    He's saying that if you are a good enough welder to weld those end tanks together and to the stock IC core, why not do the same thing just using a better core and building your own end tanks. Chances are that if you can weld aluminum that well, you can probably fab some end tanks. Most people...
