I think part of it is facebook forced everyone to be softer. The good old days where someone would say something really stupid, get flamed for 6 hours and then either leave the forum or get banned don’t happen on FB. Which means you get the same question 5 times a day, people sharing downright...

your options for a serious traction tire on the stock 19.5’s are limited, if you go 20 or 22’s you can find some decent 12 ply tires out there but the wear difference is going to be noticeable. I have 37x13.5r22’s on my 2008 459 and haul heavy and pull heavy, and they wear much faster than the...

Been a minute. I hate facebook groups, I’d so much rather talk to myself here than the idiots there. 250 ended up needing a whole fuel system. So I went with a punchout fuel bowl “replacement” kit (does the forum still censor the word delete?) and a fass 165. I eventually want to run dual...

I'm not sure how to shut off individual cylinders on my solus ultra or check trims but I pulled contributions a third time because I really wasn't buying the results I was getting and got waaay different numbers now, IDK why. -28, -35, and the like. 6 or 7 injectors were out of wack so I'm...

I’m still running my 450 because I’m fighting my harley 250’s smoke and missfire issue. The beater work truck’s having very few issues while my nice truck never seems to stay running. But I did find a 6.7 console for it, I need to get the lower dash portion installed, that’s how these trucks...

I replaced the hpfp and it doesn’t seem to be making oil but it has a misfire and it’s pouring unburnt diesel out of the exhaust. Sounded like the miss was coming the worst from #8 but after pulling it apart, I don’t see any damage to the rocker arm assembly and the pushrods don’t have an...

Need a fuel pump for that donor motor. It’s making oil as I’ve said in other threads, a lot of oil, and it smokes constantly. I’m just going to replace the pump because I see no issues anywhere else. Should I go with the alliant power reman everyone sells or does anyone else reman a pump that’s...

Hell yeah, how hard is tuning for it versus twin pumps? I keep going back and forth on that versus twin pumps, some people I really respect have dissuaded me but I wanna see more people use them and see how they hold up. I need a reman, I thought ii used to make a reman that had dlc internals...

Is there a way to command the fuel pump besides cycling the key? I cycled the key about 10 times till the pump kicked off and had no dye coming out of the oil pan. I’m gonna pull the valve covers tomorrow and check all the injector bodies and lines. I’m borrowing a tool to pressurize the cooling...

it is pretty smokey. All blue grey and white smoke.

Only reason i think it’s not that is the oil has a fuel smell to it. Now that you mention it, the coolant is real low. I have another front cover i can throw on if that’s the issue.

I had an injector leaking air into the system ~5-10k miles ago. I’m hoping it’s a leaking injector. I’ll try that dye test. Here’s to hoping it’s something stupid and not a hpfp.

So my truck is making a lot of oil, I haven't drained it to measure yet but it's 6-8 inches up the dipstick. It's not throwing a code, but I did a cylinder contribution test and it shows -2 for one injector and -1 for two injectors. Problem is I have no frame of reference, how bad is a -2? The...

I’ve never really had an issue with them in our fleet.

I went from 19.5’s and ~32’s to milled 22.5’s and 37x13.5’s. Way bigger setup, way more rotating mass and it stops fine. I also have a service body, fuel tank, and pull trailers. The brake systems are pretty stout.

Please check the last post’s timestamp before you bump the thread. I know we’re trying to revive the forum but the best way to do that is with new conversations, not bumping old threads.

I’m not making a build thread for my 450 since it’s supposed to just be the work truck and this harley the nice one but I’ll post some pictures here. 2008 XLT I bought at 133k for $3500 with a broken rocker and half the engine in the back seat. Fixed that for under 100 bucks. Did some oil...

What’s new with my favorite truck on here? @Jonnydime Need some inspiration to spend some money on my Harley and not the 450.

It ended up getting scrapped for beer money.

My stuff is at All Cape Machine in Hyannis. Shit, it's been a minute. I pulled the motor out of the silver truck I actually bought off a dude on here. Ran it for a little over a year, was a great truck to me, but the motor was always destined for my 250. Looking at that picture now I'm not...
