    Noise under hard acceleration

    Not sure what if any mods you have on your rig but I have had the same thing happening to me when after I upgraded my injectors and got a ts chip to run them. I've only noticed it when i run my chip on slot 5 and 6. Tranny has just under 200k on it and my dad had the clutch replaced in 01'. A...

    7.3 brake upgrades

    my 2 cents, Power stop setup is awesome. I was going thru a set of pads every 6-8 months before i found those babies. i did mine about 2 years ago and haven't had one complaint. Just make sure you follow the break-in instructions to the letter. as far as the calipers themselves, Assuming they...

    OBS burning oil.

    not that i could see. just the normal layer of black soot but it was dry all the way up to the turbine outlet on the dp. only place i saw oil was from the ccv on the intake side and it wasnt a lot. fwiw, did have a ford mechanic buddy do a cylinder contribution test and check the hpop pressure...

    OBS burning oil.

    Ok so now I'm stumped. I replaced the fuel filter before leaving TX and the whole trip back the old girl didn't burn a single drop of oil. I pulled the filter right after i got back and it was as clean as when i put it in new. 2 weeks of normal driving later and no oil burning and the filter is...

    Coolant temp guage gremlin

    Thanks for the suggestion but The dash gauge was acting up before i put the new water pump in so I dont think thats whats causing the malfunction. as far as short vs long stem, the pump came as a kit from clay at riffraff diesel with a new tstat and outlet. I'm sure he knows what hes doing. but...

    Coolant temp guage gremlin

    Hey guys, sorry I've been trying to help my parents get moved into a new house and been crazy busy. So I have tried grounding the factory one to both the frame and negitive terminals. If the wire is hooked up to the unit, no changes but if I disconnect the wire and ground that then gauge pegs...

    OBS burning oil.

    Afternoon Gents, so I'm currently on the road from abq NM to Edna TX. I've been having to constantly top off the engine oil. Seems to burn a gallon every 300mi. I pulled the fuel filter out and it looks like it got painted black. I did a quick search thru the fourm and it seems to point to the...

    Coolant temp guage gremlin

    That make sense for the factory unit but still doesnt explain the isspro acting up as well. is there any other good place on the block to put the sender for the aux gauge? when i had it on the bypass filter, i didnt ever seem to read as hot as it should(around 170f) when the engine warmed up. I...

    Coolant temp guage gremlin

    that's what keeps stumping me. if its a short, why does it start working after it warms up? dead shorts usually stay that way in my experience. and the fact that the darn near brand new isspro is doing the same thing now makes me wonder what the common denominator is......

    Coolant temp guage gremlin

    It's definitely the coolant temp sender. I'll attach some pics so you can confirm but im 100% sure that's it. also what the gauges are reading when if first start it and after my drive to work(about 12mins @ 55 MPH). My truck has the older international water pump and does not have the...

    Coolant temp guage gremlin

    Hey guys, I've been having a strange issue with my factory engine coolant temp gauge. It started about a year ago. When i first start the truck, the needle pegs all the way to the right past full hot immediately. after running the truck down the road for 10-15min it suddenly will jump to around...
