    dually conversion questions

    Besides the axles and springs, what’s the real difference between the F250 and the F350?

    Blue Smoke Blues...Thoughts?

    I have relocated the nipple on the intake to the top instead of the stock location on the bottom. Instead of entering immediately above the the CC breather, I have it traveling up , making a loop, then back down into the top of the intake pipe. Good so far, and hopefully keeps put more oil...

    Blue Smoke Blues...Thoughts?

    I may experiment with a less restrictive catch can design. For now it’s staying this way and I’ll closely monitor oil consumption. I drove 400 miles today and the level on the dipstick is still tight on the top of the crosshatch.

    Blue Smoke Blues...Thoughts?

    I routed mine back to the intake using 3/4” hose with an inverted p-trap. I figure that the sucking from the turbo would vent better than just straight to the atmosphere. With this configuration vs the ProVent, the blowby gasses out of the oil fill hole are much less apparent. Cap will just...

    Blue Smoke Blues...Thoughts?

    So what’s the consensus about the Prvent 200 I have? I removed it last night and all my bluish smoke has gone away along with the burning oil smell. I’m wondering if it isn’t a restriction and increasing my crankcase pressure.

    Blue Smoke Blues...Thoughts?

    The oil in the can still looks clean with no water in it. I wonder why it’s loading up with fuel now? It’s really runs smooth. I’m going to check compression this weekend.

    Blue Smoke Blues...Thoughts?

    Ok, so something new today. I ran a buzz test and all passed, cyl contribution test and all passed. In total it sat at idle for 15-20 mins. I jump in and drive off under light but sprites acceleration. Huge cloud of what looks like white smoke. I let off then slowly rolled back on the...

    Blue Smoke Blues...Thoughts?

    I dump the oil from the catch can back into the engine. I always fill it with 4 gallons or just a little over full. I don’t see being a quart low hurting anything.

    Blue Smoke Blues...Thoughts?

    I may just live with that. It’s alwats 2.5 quarts low at 3000 mile oil changes. 1quart in the catch can and the rest burned or dripping from the dipstick. I just fixed the dipstick leak so it may end up 2 quarts low. Makes 40 pounds of boost with the KCTP38R , bellowed up pipes, and the...

    Oil rings huh? Other than the smell and oil in the catch can, any harm driving it like that?

    Blue Smoke Blues...Thoughts?

    I have a 97 Powerstroke, and yes I realize this isnt the obs section, but I have E-Fuel, spider with intercooler, Upgraded HPOP, 160/30 Injectors, and a KCTP38R Turbo. I figure it's more like a newer Powerstroke 7.3 than an obs Powerstroke 7.3. I'm getting a light haze of white then blue/gray...

    Stub Shaft U-Joint Replacement ?

    I've replaced all the u-joints on the front shafts except the stub shaft u-joint on the passenger side. Is it possible to replace this without pulling the entire assembly? Mine is about to fall about. This is a Dana 50 TTB.

    bad wiring harness?

    It's not downshifting, the converter is unlocking. The same thing would happen if you turned on your hazards or hit the brakes. Check for a burned taillight bulb.

    Up Pipe Removal

    I'm strongly considering the bellowed Riffraff kit here in the very near future. I had my turbo off this morning for a rebuild and just for the heck of it....I tried to get to and loosen the up pipe bolts at the turbo flange. These things are rusted on tight. I sprayed everything with PB...

    Upgrades to the 97

    Never had a seat pan. It had a bench in front. I used 2 of the original seat holes in front, drilled new holes for the rest. I used all new hardware and large 2.5" thick spacers doubled up. That's more than the bench has holding it down.

    Upgrades to the 97

    I thought about that, but it keeps the soot off my paint!! I need to look for a nice tip. Maybe a clean 4.5" tip.
