    DIY Intake failed State Inspection

    Too much to copy and paste, so here's the link. Scroll down. It's in there. The even revised the muffler policy. A turbine (ie:turbo) used to be permissible without an additional muffler as a muffling device. Now, if it came with a muffler and cat, it must have one. Texas Department of Public...

    Gt38r

    Hope you like the noise. I'm sick of it, especially towing the travel trailer.

    Gt38r

    A LOT! More noise than I expected. The newer ones (mine) a supposedly louder that the older ones. Otherwise, GREAT turbo.

    Same as a stock pump externally, excepting the pretty black coating. Very straight forward install.

    Alignment shop in DFW

    I had always heard good things about them, very honest. They aligned mine just after I bought it in 2002. Have not needed an alignment since. I likely go back when the time comes though. Glad I could help.

    Alignment shop in DFW

    Laminack Tire in Garland on Shiloh Rd just south of Kingsley. They did mine as few have rack to fit a cc. We also use them for our ambulances last I heard.

    Kids Car Seat?

    Far better to use a seat with a shoulder strap. Unfortunately in the case of a Super Duty that means a window seat. But the benefits of the should strap outweigh the negatives of an outboard location. That is where my 5 year old is securely strapped.

    Fireball in Texas

    My brother in Austin saw it during the Marathon. It was to his north and those in Dallas report it was to the south. So some where between Dallas and Austin.

    Turbo Surge

    A "Wicked Wheel" eliminated most of my surge/stall when pulling our 9k lbs trailer. But not all of it. I'm told a ported compressor housing is more efferctive, such at an ATS housing or those found on E-bay. My turbo recently puked and I went with the GTP38R ball bearing turbo, I have yet to tow...

    Humor van turbo

    A wastegate does nothing for Lag. It is there to bypass exhaust to limit excess boost on the top end. The reason the van turbo does not have one is due to the large exhaust housing. It will limit total boost by nature. Now, the larger housing will in theory make it lag more than your stock one...

    Humor van turbo

    They have no wastegate, but do have an EBPV. The exhaust housing is a 1.15 A/R Vs .84 A/R for the superduty. I was gonna out one on, but got tired of looking and went with GTP38R.

    New turbo

    Well my turbo has been making more noise since our last trip towing the TT in mid December. It got worse last week. So I pulled the intake tube to check for play. I'm pretty sure I should not be able to pull/push the shaft in and out this much. SO, on the way from ITP is a new GTP38R BB turbo...

    5R100 into 7.3 truck?

    If you are asking if you can mate the 5r110 to a 7.3, then NO not realistically. Sure anything is possible, but the simple answer is no.

    Power loss around 1700 RPM....

    There is no "lift pump" in the tank. There is only the frame mounted fuel pump.

    Help a fire company with an alternator issue - 2001 7.3

    Then you simply need a larger alternator and a little retraining of personnel to use the idle controller EVERY time they stop. :D

    Help a fire company with an alternator issue - 2001 7.3

    Either a larger alternator or the Mobil Power unit would work. The 8.5Kw is overkill for your listed application and also very expensive. The "redi-line" generator that T-bar has pictured will not help your situation. It uses A 12 motor to turn a generator. So it will use even more 12v...

    Power Tail Gate Lock

    I got a pop-n-lock power tailgate lock a long while back and I LOVE IT! It is great with the tonneau. Very easy install. I think I got mine on E-bay.

    Regular Penzoil 15w-40 after oil change

    It is a rated oil just like Rotella and Motorcarft, HARDLY like water. It would not be my personal choice, but it should function fine. Also Motorcraft is no more made for the Powerstroke than anyother proper Diesel rated oil.
