You are talking about DOD rent a cop ? What are their qualifications and responsibilities when it comes to vehicle inspections? I would have told him parts are on order to reconnect the stacks.

Diesel world magazine did a multi part article on building a F-350 dually tow pig over the summer. Swamps did the labor. I would try to get the back issues (Chris Tobin was the writer) and follow that recipe. Maybe call Dave at Swamps and see what he says. The article covered engine mods...

Check the pitman arm. Mine was partially stripped and would do what you described. Start truck and have someone turn the wheel while you watch the pitman arm.

Does your'e slide in have a 12vdc refrigerator, and are you trying to run the refrigerator when going down the road? I had a Lance slide in and had no problem maintaining the batteries , going down the road as long as I did not put the refrigerator on 12vdc. I think Ford increased the...

I guess the 6637 400hp myth has been busted.LOL

Great job Swamps! I watched a couple of Dyno videos on Swamps F.B. site, Is that a 6637 air filter on those engines?

O.P. I wonder if the valves are floating on your buddies truck? The exhaust back pressure has got to be much higher than boost pressure at >2700 rpms on the stock turbo. My truck has same gears and weight. I tow 10k TT and stay at or below 65 MPH. The highest EGT I have seen was 1300*...

Just like a PriusLOL

Last year I had pump and steering box problems and replaced pump,steering box and the hydra boost. The crap from the pump failing contaminates the other parts. I added a filter like this http://www.cardone.com/products/steering/steering-products-remanufactured/magna-pure-power-steering-pumps...

This is the break down by serial number but like ghohouston posted, it is not very accurate. This was posted on the Hypermax web site. My number 14748574 fell midway through the second batch of forged rods but it turns out I have PMRs. Engine is original. I used a cheap inspection camera...

I just did this service in November. Schafers all trans is what Brian uses (or something compatible) you will need Eight quarts if you are just dropping the pan and changing the filter. Add all eight when you button everything back up. I went by the dipstick reading and only added Six. Had...

When my clock spring went I had the air bag light on, scraping noise when I turned the wheel, and no cruise control. IMO, The truck shutting off would not be clock spring related. My truck started and ran fine with the broken spring. Cold does strange stuff but once the clock spring is gone...

LOL

Check the V of the engine and see if oil is pooling in the various recesses. In my case the rear cover of the HPOP is leaking and slowly fills the recesses and then will spill out down the back of the engine. I also had the HPOP discharge fitting start leaking with the same symptoms.

On my truck with H2e, I picked up 12 h.p. on my stock tune just from changing from stock wheel to WW2 (dyno tested). 22 h.p. boost in my 100 h.p. tune.
