    Won’t start

    Gonna need to get a log of what is happening. Youll need to pull up icp pressure, rpm, ipr, and fuel pulse width. Also if you can hook a fuel pressure gauge to it, that will test another system. Get a log of it stalling with all those pids, and it’ll be easier to help you. It could be one of 10...

    F-250 & F-350 gear ratio question ?

    I’m not real familiar with for scan, but there should be some pid that is actual dpf load, and possibly and average distance between regens. If your boost is a consistent 20psi, has it always been that? Seem to remember these hitting 30ish pretty easy.

    F-250 & F-350 gear ratio question ?

    I’d start looking it over. Checking cac tubes, pull the air inlet and visually inspect your compressor wheel, make sure it’s not dusted, has regen been happening more often? Get something to read live data with and monitor your boost, check dpf filter load, all the sensors relative to each...

    F-250 & F-350 gear ratio question ?

    how many miles on your truck, and what all is done to it? If it used to be ok, and now it’s not, indicates you’re having an issue. Be it a wire out turbo, boost leak, exhaust leak, dpf getting plugged up, dirty air filter, etc.

    Ford 7.3 Passenger Bank Dead

    Does this have a glow plug module, or a glow plug relay? Could be the module is bad, if it has one. Other thing to do would be to unplug the valve cover gasket, and run a test light from the positive battery cable to each glow plug pin on the valve cover gasket. They should all light up and...

    Tuning the 7.3 in current times

    No, no idle haze in the giveaway truck, at least not an ungodly amount. There’s a little puff when it’s cold, at least for us, and then clears up pretty quick. The truck we’ve got at the shop with cut pistons, will just sit there an smoke at idle in 90 degree weather, and when Charlie drove it...

    Best turbo upgrade in current times?

    If your compressor wheel hit the cover, chances are good that replacing is gonna be the cheaper route than rebuilding. You’ll need compressor wheel, may be able to save the cover with some lathe time and a careful hand sanding/cutting, as long as the contact is light, if it’s fairly deep, you’ll...

    Tuning the 7.3 in current times

    Cam could be causing that, or a boost leak. If you had cut pistons, I’d blame the idle smoke on them, as we’ve got a truck right now that’s going the same thing. And my 6.0 does it a little when warm, a decent amount when cold. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    When you had your engine built, did you put cut pistons in it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    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...

    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...

    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

    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...

    ‘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...

    ‘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...

    ‘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...
