    He's shot straight with me and been thorough with the work so far so that's definitely good. Another shop to avoid is priority truck in Taylor. 2001 F-250 cclb 7.3l 4x4 forged rods, ebpv, muffler, dp80hp dd.

    Communication hasn't been great but they have been very thorough so far and prices are fair. Looks like the last place I took it to just cut the dowel pins flush with the block when they replaced the flexplate. Mikes diesel was kind enough to send pictures and do a detailed write up on it for...

    Northwest diesel and performance seem like pretty knowledgeable people. Backed up about a week. I'm learning that anyone not backed up at least a couple days isn't worth going to. They don't do transmission work though. They will send it out if it needs anything internal done. 2001 F-250 cclb...

    What's everyone think a rusty truck with a new engine is worth once I get it running right? 2001 F-250 cclb 7.3l 4x4 forged rods, ebpv, muffler, dp80hp dd.

    I'm just going to put my hpop from my old engine on with a new gasket. It was doing fine. I'll just plan on an upgrade whenever it starts to fail. Not sure how long they normally run for, but it has 234xxx on it. 2001 F-250 cclb 7.3l 4x4 forged rods, ebpv, muffler, dp80hp dd.

    Anyone know who rebuilds hpop? My trucks going in and I want to send my 17° hpop out to get redone do they can install it. 2001 F-250 cclb 7.3l 4x4 forged rods, ebpv, muffler, dp80hp dd.

    Ok so I broke another flexplate after about 2weeks. I guess a bad torque converter is the next thing other than the engine and trans not being connected/aligned correctly that would break a flexplate.... So maybe not having the right dowels at first broke my first flex plate and damaged the...

    Pretty sure the obs is smaller. But thanks. My idle fluctuation it's getting worse. Today it went from 500 kinda starting to get rough sounding to 900 at a stop light. Gotta get a fuel pressure gauge and something to read hpop, icp, turbo etc, After I fix my pedestal. Maybe trade it in for...

    Unfortunately I found a new problem when I fixed the turbo to spyder leak I had, (oring from the Hastings oil filter worked well btw) The turbo pedestal is also spraying air and oil every place. I didn't gut the pedestal when I removed the ebpv and I also did plug it back in. So hopefully I...

    Some heat and 2 pairs of vice grips clamped on sideways to the pins then prying on the vice grips with a small crowbar worked. The second one I just clamped the vice grips head on and wiggled up and down while pulling. Vice grips kept sliding off but it worked. 2001 F-250 cclb 7.3l 4x4 forged...
