Congrats worked format the Wixom plant till it closed, then Winchester distribution till retired. Welcome to the forum lots of great folks on here but not as active as it used to be I've found. Where in Ky. are you?
I was checking out Snipers in 35s the other day. Really like the reviews that I've read on them. Always wanted M16s but the balance problems they've had with them steered me away. I've had numerous Interco tires in the past and know if they don't balance well it makes for very short tie rod...
Check your door harness in the jamb inside the boot on the drivers side door. With age the wire WILL chafe and short. Being the main window and door switch it will effect your other switches too. Been there done that. Also the main switch can be subject to corrosion from rain/snow getting in...
Over 60 looks and no response? Seems like a good event to me especially since we lost the Ennis event. So many Texas powerstroke guys bad girls let's support this event. Found a better link. Texasdieselmadness.com
Oh yeah that's probably the biggest expense up front. It'll probably be after I refi the house lol. Been looking at Dorsey built stage 2. Haven't really seen any feedback on them but I figured if Irate sells them that should say something. My other option would be drive up to Leadhill and get...
Ive seen similar builds as your friends making right around the 500hp mark. My first thought was a KC38r drop in but my son needed my cac pipes and his friend my spider and uppipes. I figured by the time I replaced those and bought bellowed up pipes Id be pretty close to paying for the T4...
I picked 600 hp as a peak due to that was the number it seamed to be the breaking point for the rest of the drive train. Above that from what I've researched was a big jump in cost for the transmission. I appreciate y'alls input and agree that 550 is a better number for reliability on the stock...
To be honest Id love to go all out and give some of the kids around here some competition Lol but Id rather reliability and practicality. No kiddin on the Texas part of it. I worked for Pyco for a day. Lol Where do you live now?
Is .250 the amount you take off? That seems quite a bit if not what are the amount to remove from the lip and back cut? Again I really appreciate your time I've built many hi performances gassers never a diesel till now. I have a good friend who is a great machinist so I'm sure he would be able...
I really appreciate y'alls input and I do understand your point is the way you're pistons are done a precision machining or just a slight deburr with a cartridge roll. Also I can see the skirt dry lube wearing off but why would the heat barrier coating on top be a waste? Doesn't it prevent...
I'm going to have to put some pictures of the pistons and rings up. The tops of the pistons looks like weld splatter and the top compression ring was burnt/broken on the one piston I have out. My service to this great country was a pleasure and I'm thankful for your appreciation
May end up having to sleeve it. Have 3 cylinders that have quite a wear ridge. I haven't measured it yet but hope to clean them up at .030 bore. I found out the hard way you can't baby bad injectors.
