I have been running the irate fuel labs kit for 25k Miles. It’s probably 3 years old. Hard fuel lines were a pain to install but the kit is sweet. A ball value near the filter would help me spill less fuel when I change my filter. Mine is a 96 obs.

So update on the turbo. I just pulled 17k trailer to Johnson valley California from Oregon. This turbo works very well I get the feeling it really flows on the top end. Highest psi I saw was 28. It probably could have gone higher but that wasn’t what I was trying to do. I still need some better...

Yeah I didn’t think it would make much difference either. One reason I thought there might be something to it is I know the 6.4 has a fuel cooler. Honestly I drove it for a year and never noticed. It was only towing heavy on perfectly flat ground with less then half of a 15 gallon tank. Just...

Hey so I have been running regulated return for a year on my 96 7.3. Baby Swamp injectors, ts, kc turbo, and intercooler. I just towed heavy down to king of the hammers from Oregon(17k). I noticed as my tank got below half my egt would climb to like 1050 flat land od 65 ish mph. I switched to my...

So this isn’t really new but there wasn’t a ton of posts on here regarding this turbo. I just upgraded from a d66. The new kc turbo is way better for towing and is not near as lazy as the d66. I also ran a stock turbo too. The ball bearing set is money. The kc turbo nets me about 6-8 more psi...

So I don’t mean to hi jack this thread but I am having a similar issues. 05 excursion 156k. Long crank after sitting hot or cold. When I check the oil filter housing it’s empty. I thought it was the anti drain back. I put a new one in and same issue. I also double checked for an oem filter and...

So I finally did my mishimoto radiator swap and the 6.0 fan. I can already tell it helped a lot. Cruising down the road empty is cooler than it was. I'll still need to tow to see how much better it is. Also my oem radiator was nasty dirty. This likely occurred when my trans cooler spit a hose...

What temperature does the red dash light come on at. I assume its the sensor for EOT. Mine recently came on pulling a hill with a trailer. I don't have a mechanical gauge so I don't actually know the number. I know the 6.0 de-fueld at EOT 253*. I have a 6.0 fan and mish radiator inbound via amazon.

I looked into the 6.0 fan. It appears to be a worth while modification. I have one coming from ebay. While I am doing the swap I will have the radiator gone through by our local radiator shop. I'll update again after that.

It just had a new thermostat. The radiator hasn't been cleaned in years probably. I was thinking that the new intercooler in front of the radiator has reduced the efficiency of the oem cooling system. I might have to look into a 6.0 fan. It recovered really quickly when I finally pulled over. As...

So there I was pulling a a 28 foot trailer with two jeeps to Tillamook Oregon for a 4 wheel drive event. The loaded combined weight is 24000K. The truck has an E99 intercooler with E99 spider. The truck has 150/146 baby swamp injectors with a TS6. Also just added a Beans 66 turbo. So this is...

Would $750 for just the turbo get it??

I also sent you a PM

Hey I am new to this diesel forum thing. I am interested in the D66. I live in Southern Oregon.
