There is a how to thread with pictures over on power stroke nation. That write up has it being filled halfway up the water pump ports. I was thinking of filling to the bottom of those ports so water pump flow is not restricted but would that put enough in it to make a difference? I’ve never paid...

Does the hardfilling help with main cap walk? Or is it just to keep the block from cracking under high loads? As for my crank, I was in the slow lane on the interstate going 65 and it got really loud and started knocking and shaking. I had to go 2 more miles to an exit and it made it to a...

Hello all, I currently have a 99 7.3 with 250/100’s, s369sxe, cryo’d forged rods, and otherwise stock bottom end. It just broke the crank somehow (haven’t pulled down yet to inspect) and am going to build another engine. I want to upgrade the bottom end and was wanting opinions on using a...

The Dieselsite trans is good. They lock their coast clutch on all the time except for in overdrive where is has to unlock. They do this for strength. I gave mine back to them because of this and they refunded 100% of my money. I like my truck to coast when I let off the throttle when it’s not...

I am about to go T4 on my truck and want to know the pros and cons and get feedback from you guys who have done it on the better kit. CSD or Irate. The main differences I see are what looks like a 2 piece down pipe on the irate kit along with returning oil to a different place. I know the CSD...

I just had a 4r100 built for my 7.3 and the torque converter will slip under max power after its already locked up. The trans has billet internals with The full transgo tugger kit installed. The converter is a diamond t low stall supposedly rated for 650 hp. I have 250/200’s and a kc 38r so I...

I recently purchased a built trans from a reputable builder. After I got it installed I noticed that no matter what the computer told the trans to do that if the trans was not in 4th that the coast clutch was always engaged. With my tuning this made for a very annoying 4-3 downshift as the coast...

It seems a lot of trucks shift like mine does and use a “pmt” strategy. Can anybody post what an nvk or nmc strategy feels like? I seem to recall my old xle dropping out the converter anytime it was below 38 mph.

That’s pretty awesome. I have a 38r sitting in my shop that I replaced with one of your kc38r turbos after the garret started puking oil after 14 months of use. How would a 38r with this kit stack up against a stock 38r and against your kc38r?

Do I understand this correctly? So basically any dpc-422 pcm is going to be tuned to mimick pmt1. Since mine is pmt2 then if the tuner dosent have the definition for it then there may be a few things that don’t line up since the definition isn’t the same. What do most of the tuners use for an...

Can someone clear up for me definition files and pcm codes. Are there multiple definitions for a given pcm code? I have a pmt2 computer so are there multiple definitions for a pmt2? Let’s say on a stock truck that has pmt2 does a tuner use a PMT1 or other definition file as their base so the...

All this talk of everybody having the same issues as I do makes me wish that I would have bought Minotaur a long time ago as I have had this same truck for 16 years. I let the tuners talk me out of it thinking that once I got it dialed in it would sit on the shelf and become a waste. I have also...

I just can’t imagine that in 20 years of 7.3 tuning that the way my truck acts is the latest and greatest. I also can’t imagine anybody not being annoyed by this issue. I wonder if the tuners themselves drive 7.3 trucks that do this and they like it? I don’t know much about the computer side...

I have just started working with 1023 on the tuning so hopefully they can help me out. I am glad to hear yours unlocks. Mine is like driving 2 different vehicles. One is pretty nice just cruising around but once it locks up if I don’t go below 30 mph it’s a lugging rough Smokey pig. It has been...

I am running into the same problem with transmission shifting with multiple company's tuning. Once the torque converter locks up in my truck it wont unlock again until you get below a set mph. Some tuners have it at 30, some a little less like around 27. This annoys me due to the fact that when...

I am converting my e99 to 99.5 so I can run a 38r. I have everything but the larger 3 inch plenums. Anybody have a set for sale?
