I experienced the death wobble for the 1st time. I was towing our 9,500 pound camper on I10 at 65 mph. It happened on a rough bridge approach. Good thing it wasn't on a corner. It happened a few more time traveling ~140 miles to the boondocking site. Traveling at 55 or less reduced the...

I have a 6.0 intercooler with plastic "tanks" on my OBS. Of course it's leaking now by the hot side tank/core joint. Did any of the 6.0s come with an OEM ALL aluminum version? I don't want to lay out $1200 for a "Mishy".

My 97 OBS doesn't need a boost fooler. They are $59 new. I will sell this for $30 plus $7 shipping. If shipping is more, I will pay for it. PayPal preferred.

Would anyone know off hand what the usual parasitic current drain is for a truck like mine in the sig? I just checked mine and it's 1.5. I haven't started pulling fuses yet. Happy new year everyone!

Randomly, the odometer will blank out and the speedometer will just drop to the bottom of the range. Pushing the select button always returns function. I have had it out and cleaned the contacts and applied dielectric grease. Would anyone know of a good vehicle electronic repair/rebuild service...

Because of a truck fire, my KC TP38r was replaced with a KC S300 63/70/84. I contacted KC Turbo and discussed my situation. Upon arrival the next day, it took maybe 15 minutes for Charlie to discuss with his staff which version would be best suited for my application and to have the turbo...

The morning I left the middle of Joshua Tree National Park; 3rd week of January and no bars on the phone. I stopped on the side of the road to take a couple of pics. I left the engine idling. When I walked back around the truck, smoke was coming out from under the driver's side of the hood. I...

I need to replace the track bar bushings. I see there are rubber, polyurethane and bushings with/without steel sleeves. Is there a preference? Part number?

I have 480 miles on my rebuilt 7.3 and I think I have soot in the degas tank now. The coolant level is fluctuating more than usual also. I don't see any oil. I rolled up a piece of paper towel and stuck it in their, all red Cat ELC. So it looks like a copper washer (seal) on the bottom of one of...

I’m tinkering with a scenario which requires known injection volume demands. I.e. max fuel volume injected per second, revolution and etc… I forced the order of operation. The quantity is obviously wrong, but I don’t see where? A basic 90 cc HEUI injector: (((90cc (injector volume) x 8...

I just rebuilt my 7.3 (currently 386 miles) and installed 8 new MotorCraft glow plugs. It's getting into the thirties here in NE Wisconsin and the engine wasn't starting as it should. WTH? 6 of the 8 new glow plugs are dead. I.e completely open! I double checked this with my second multimeter...

This component is located in the engine wire harness. Can anyone ID it?

I need a left (driver's side) valve cover and breather. Shipped to 54128.

I'm looking for an OBS up pipe collector. I.e. the up pipes and turbo bolt to it. I need it by the end of June. I'm doing some turbo mount mock ups.

Would anyone have a complete HVAC enclosure insulation that's in excellent shape? Mine was missing when I purchased the truck. Decide on a price and pm me.

At first I wasn't going to do an engine post. There is little interest in a tow pig engine build. But I do have some questions, so some advice/tips would be appreciated. The engine: The engine only has about 113,000 miles on it, but the previous owner’s son-in-law who drove it for his business...

Does the turbo need to be removed to get the engine out? I'm ready to pull if not?

I pulled my 7.3 for what hopefully will be a quick reseal? I would like to replace the belt tensioner. I can't find a replacement that looks like mine? Was the original tensioner a single idler unit? Would a Motorcraft BT-50 fit?

Has anyone tried to bore scope through an injector cup hole to check for a cross hatch on a cylinder wall with the piston at the bottom of the stroke? I know that hole is small.

For the people who have done their own rebuilds; Did you stick to these specs? Bore: 4.11” Rule of thumb, 0.004"/inch of bore. Navistar uses the wider end gap to aid in oil control, and to lower engine emissions. Using a wider end gap in the second ring land evens out the pressures in the ring...
