Just finished installing a Bosch “044” fuel pump and thought I would share the information I had learned in the process as there wasn’t much I could find searching all over the internet before I did it and would have appreciated a write up or two with some better information. I have no idea just...

I can’t seem to get a decent lifespan out of the Anchor brand transmission mounts sold at the auto parts stores. Anyone have a source for a polyurethane one or something that holds up a bit better? My stocker made it 250,000+, but have had two in my truck in the last 60,000 or so miles. As far...

I'm looking at getting some Fox 2.0 IFP Shocks for my 2000 F-350 (SRW), but planning on going down to a 4" Icon lift. I'm sure I'm missing something, but Fox's website says they don't make shocks for any bigger than a 3.5" lift. Other websites say they do, but I can find multiple part numbers...

Lately my truck has been having a significant delay going into reverse and is very soft on the engagement when it does. This only happens on the first startup of the day and I get in a hurry and back up fairly quick after starting. If I let it sit and idle for a few minutes like I normally do...

So, I apologize right off the get go for my ignorance, but I have never been anywhere that required emissions testing and I just found out that I HAVE to move to Las Vegas. Assuming I register my truck there, it appears that I will have to undergo such horrors. So, for those of you "in the...

I had another thread going about the problems I'm having with my truck, but wanted to take it in a bit different direction and get more specific so I'm starting another one. The quick background is I just did new injectors, UVCH's, studs, springs, etc. Since that work I have developed a random...

Ok, so I just got done with what I would consider some major upgrades...238/80 incjectors, 910 valve springs, pushrods, new tunes, head studs, glow plugs and UVCH's. Cycled the key until I had good pressure on the FP gauge and then cranked truck twice before pluggin in the harness and cranked...

I'm finishing up doing injectors (along with a few other supporting mods while I was under the valve covers) and am scared to death that I am going to miss something obvious and cause a failure. I just don't want any failure to be because of my stupidity SO, that being said.....I cleared what I...

Stupid question, but figured the only thing bad that can come from asking is I look stupid...that's nothing new. Haha. The Comp 910 springs don't have a top or bottom right? Meaning they can't be put in "upside down"? I've already got them installed on one side, but with all the stuff I am...

Getting ready to do ARP head studs this weekend. (Truck is already partially torn down) and have been reading all the head stud threads I can find. A bunch of them talk about hot retorques. I have two questions on that....First, is it really necessary? I've never done a hot retorque on a gas...

Ok...I'm gonna be honest about this leak, so don't give me too much crap about how stupid it has been to let it go this long, I just want to get it fixed. I installed a Strictly Diesel regulated return and fuel bowl delete a while ago, leak checked it, test drove it and all was good...I...

Here is the short version of my question....Why on my "120hp" tune does my ICP run between 1700 and 2100psi, but my duty cycle "pegs out" at 79.5% and doesn't go any higher? The background info....I knew my HPOP wasn't doing everything that was being asked of it, but since I am really close to...

I know this isn't really the right section, but I looked and didn't see one for body related things....Feel free to yell at me and/or put it in the right spot, but....Figured this was the closest one. What I need to know is, has anyone had to repair the handle/release on the rear extended cab...

I'm gathering parts for my next big parts swap and thought I had it all figured out, but ran into an option that I didn't even know I had. Smith Brother's push rods come in two different wall thicknesses, .083" and .120". I'm guessing that the .083" ones are still stronger than the stockers...

Hey guys...just a shot in the dark. I've been looking at trailers, specifically I've been eyeballing a 40' Vintage Outlaw (gooseneck) w/12' Living Quarters up front. I was wondering if anyone had any "empty" weights for this trailer or one real similar. I am trying to figure out if I want to...

I've been ready to pull the trigger on some injectors a few times recently and things seem to keep popping up, but it looks like I will be ready again in a month or two and I am trying to finalize my choices. Originally (as in a few years ago) I was looking to go with some 238/80 hybrids and...

My stock driveshaft has finally worn out, well....sort of. The blue anti-friction coating on the splines decided it wanted to flake off and has left me with a noticeable and unacceptable amount of play at the splines causing a vibration. I went down to one of the local dealers today to price a...

Got all the parts in finally. Heard lots of good things about the fit and finish and went ahead and spent the money on the Strictly Diesel kit w/the post pump filter. How long should I be expecting to install this. It's looking like I should block out a full day for this, but for anyone that...

So...last time I did my water pump I decided to do some research. I think it was on the .org I saw a claim that International recommended EC-1 coolant from 2001 or 2002 up in the 7.3 and the 6.0. I figured what's good for the goose is good for the gander and did a flush and put in some EC-1. My...
