Back in the day lots of guys gutted the EBPV assembly out of stock pedestals. I used a zip cut saw and cut off the EBPV aluminum cylinder, that housed the EBPV oil driven piston. Once off I drilled and tapped as I recall two ports in the exposed cylinder housing (that remains attached to the...

Hi Fellas, So we installed a ZF-5 with a twin disc clutch along with new master and slave. Actually the truck originally came to us as a 4X2 auto and we swapped in a D60 along with a ZF and clutch, peddles etc. At issue is the clutch disengages/engages right at the top of peddle throw. Has...

Thanks Patrick, good points!

All right checked all fuses, they’re good. Checked IPR plug for loose insulation and shorting nothing. Pulled out PCM pulled cover off and looked at circuit board, no burnt smell nothing looked melted. Cleaned ground wire for PCM on inside fender by hood spring. Grounded (with jumper cable) to...

Hey Fellas, Need some insight, buddies 97 7.3 ZF-5 quit today after hitting a larger bump/rough spot on the highway. Truck shut down, will not fire. I gave him an ECM a couple weeks ago as he experienced same, installed my ALF4 ECM truck fired right up. Sent other ECM off for suspected repair...

You could also take the sensor and put inline with MAP sensor too. In this way you’d still have a variable pressure to the sensor.

@johnT24 I went with FFD 205/30s with supporting mods including IC, E fuel, exhaust and intake. Hydra tuner with Jelibuilt files. Also (for now) stock turbo (gutted pedestal) with KC 360 bearing, 300sx exhaust wheel, RiffRaff billet intake wheel and 1.0 A/R housing. In retrospect I shoulda...

I run a Leece-Neville 200 amp rebuildable and has stood the test of time on 2 of my trucks. The OBS mount is called a “T” mount. You will pay more but it’s rebuildable, robust and puts out the amps.

Holla lotsa work, very cool fab app works. Thanks for sharing, j

Thanks for insight fellas, Went down to jump start it so we could move to location to work on it. It is a 03 SD CCLB 290000 kms. Has aftermarket stereo. Places my heavy duty welding cable jumpers on it drivers side battery to my passenger side battery. I have a 200 amp alternator on my 97...

Hey Fellas, Buddy of mine has a 6.0, batteries keep going flat. So he’s installed new batteries, new alternator still same results. Over 10 hrs they will go flat, nothing left on in the truck, this has just started to happen in the last 2 weeks. I’m not familiar with 6.0 so I’m not sure what...

Aside from Stock Patrick have always thought the Warn Winch bumpers which aren’t being made (least I don’t think) would be cool. I know this probably doesn’t help you but just throwing it out there..... I’ll try to dig up an image. Cheers, https://images.app.goo.gl/5HmQm7oLtATCgJYR8...

Excellent info here Fellas, thanks for sharing. I have a couple OBS trucks and in particular one has FFD 205/30s (stock HPOP, with a T500 on the shelf) in it with Jelibuilt tunes and supporting mods including retrofitted IC, 6.0 fan, e-fuel, DP etc. Currently has a stock frame turbo with KC’s...

Good discussion and info Fellas, thanks for sharing insights. Will keep plugging away little at a time towards a moderate tow/DD.

Lemme know how you make out. I’m really pleased with my FFD 205/30 hybrids and Hydra with Jelibuilt tunes. Stock turbo with KC internals is the limiting factor with mine at the moment. And running 4:10s with 37” I’d like more off idle boost, currently at 1950 rpms and higher gets lively... so...

Optimal for no muss/fuss... 6.7 Equipped F450. For the 7.3, buckets and buckets of cash.... and load a 6.7 in your dinosaur cab and frame. My son has a ‘19 CCLB F350 6.7, thing is a space ship compared to my old sig truck and tows like a beast. Beauty rig, I’ll stick to my old rig though...

No problem, very nice rig and work on it, congratulations. I always say anyone can buy an aluma-Duty.... (they are excellent rigs), however it takes true commitment to keep these old trucks going and improving them too. Cheers looking forward to images of the coiler front end. Stay Safe, take...

Right on, keep us posted on the Borgeson upgrade. For the cost, time effort and results I’d research on here and PSN, as you’ll have to swap front and rear diffs (or redrill rear diff to metric wheel pattern), swap out drive shaft universals on front and rear along with new rims. Compared to...

Nice work.... lotsa time and effort there, worth it though. I’d do a Sky (as you’ve already used their stuff) or Precision Metal Fabrications Reverse Shackle Kit and SD V codes for the front. It’ll make for a significantly better ride and an easy direct bolt on mode. Not gonna turn as sharp...
