    04 ex w/low hpop pressure

    Just picked up an 05 with unknown issues. Appears to be bone stock from intake to exhaust tip. 260k miles. I have a crank but no start issue. I have a code that points to the ipr, but I don't know if it would cause the no start. I have checked the ficm, and my results check out good. I have no...

    6.0 4r100 combo questions

    I'm looking to mate a gasser 4r to a 6.0 for a long-time coming project I've been playing with. So the gasser 4r will bolt directly to the 6.0, but what flexplate/converter combo do I need? I've read posts of people installing 6.0 converters in 7.3's for a performance mod. Is the gasser 4r...

    03 ball joints

    Bro is looking at replacing the ball joints on his 03 6.0 4x4 with 68k on the clock. Still has original tires. Says he can feel play when up on jack stands.

    expedition programming

    Hello RCD, I was looking around at custom programming and I heard through SCT that you may be an option. I recently did a 4bt conversion on a 2007 expedition (see thread in the conversion section) and I'm.looking to hammer out some of the electrical details. I'm looking to turn off a bunch of...

    clutches.....school me

    I'm having some difficulties getting this clutch to hold in my 4bt expedition with m5r2 trans. It was holding before the cranshaft broke but ever since the crank replacement, about 1000miles ago, the clutch just won't hold on a decently hard take off. Once the boost hits like 10psi the clutch...

    turbo manifold material??

    So I'm looking to make a compound setup on my 4bt. For hot piping I'm not sure on what material to use. Im debating on ss304 sch10 or sch40 mild steel. It seems people have used both. I've heard sch40 is way overkill but I've also heard 304 sch10 sometimes cracks do to its thermal properties. So...

    07 expedition transfer case issue

    So I'm running the stock transfer case behind the 4bt in this ride, a BW4417. Everything had been fine, but I just had a significant issue. I was about 6miles from home and I took off easy at a stop sign and I was just creepy crawling. I was in 5th and it was barely doing 30mph. I finally...

    drop a 12v in they said.....

    So, my friend with an 03 f250 ex-6.0, decided to put a 12v in its place. I told him to fix the 6.0 but alas he didn't listen and now he's working on working the bugs out of his 12v conversion. She starts and goes but it is having tranny issues. He is using the original automatic tranny via a...

    Hello, I rarely come to the 6.0 side but my buddies 03 has forced me to do so :( its got an intake, home brew straight pipe, and live wire tuner.
