It all depends on your truck's GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). This is the TOTAL amount your truck "should" weigh when fully loaded. If you look at the Mfg's. tag (inside the driver-side door jamb) it will list GVWR, and the will also show the GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) of both the...

I have the "Stealth" twin-pump setup (the "do-it-yourself" kit). Been in the truck for over 10 years, but getting tired. Just recently replaced the pumps with two brand new Bosch HP008X 17° pumps. I had to replace the "front pump" shaft with the custom one from Stealth (just recently, and...

The blower circuit has a relay, controlled by the position of the selector switch (A/C-Defrost-Floor-Panel-Off). WHen it's OFF,t he relay kills power to the blower. When in any other position than OFF, it runs the blower. Also, the blower is always running on LOW, in all selector positions...

The only other issue I can see with your setup, is that you may experience poor pressure control on the hydraulic circuit because of how it's plumbed (and essentially, that's exactly what the HPOP system is: a hydraulic system/circuit). In your design, you're measuring the pressure at the same...

That's probably your best bet. Get Ford OEM UVCH/gaskets. Stealership, or from that "diesel_site" that sells diesel stuff on the interweb... Also, consider: your temp gauge is reading engine coolant temp, but your UVCH is exposed to hot engine oil, which is usually a bit hotter than your...

IIRC, the IPR valves must be wired in series, not parallel.

I got disabled plates (offroad accident in 2009), so that waives/eliminates the "weight fee". It was $350+ before that. It would be even more now, since Gov. Moonbeam jacked up all the fees...

That's AWSOME! Yeah, there will be some aspects I will miss, for sure... but I won't miss so much more. The registration on my truck is ~$250/year (just wen up), AND you gotta "smog" test too, every other year. At one time, people in Washington state were using the slogan "Don't Californicate...

Absolutely! Although, I'd rather call it CONSERVATIVE. That's the primary reason we are bailing out... Nothing but fu<in libtards in Cali. I mean, c'mon... we have Nancy Pelosi AND Maxine Waters... We're fu<ked! Sorry, don't want to derail the thread in Politics! LOL

I've got a year or less 'till retirement, then I'm heading for TX (or maybe AZ). Anywhere but this fuc<ed up state... ~Al

:morons: LOL,Yeah, ya thinkk? Oh well, I tried!
