    i have 3.55's but now that my truck is seeing more towing time than empty, i am looking to go down to 3.73. with the 3.55s its a little sluggish off of a stop, and in the mountains it spends its life in 3rd rather than OD. the 3.55's are nice for long straight empty stretches of highway :D

    noise at 20lbs boost

    it could be a boost leak, spray soapy water all around the joints and have someone power brake it to build boost, see if any bubble monsters grow. quick and easy way to find out if you have a leak, or not.....then you can move on to more expensive things :(

    A Gleam of hope...

    it may be leaking from somewhere other than the head gaskets, pressure test it when its cold and see where the leak is coming from before you jump for the head gaskets, maybe save you some money!

    lopey idle?

    do it with the engine running, taking special car to keep fingers out of the valvetrain, although i dont fear touching any of those moving parts, nothing to "bite" you really. after you plug one back in, give the engine a few seconds to "stabilize" before going for the next one.

    Question torque converter head spinning

    wichever converter you get make sure its a low stall one, it will GREATLY help your stop/go mileage. i have an ATS converter, and i picked up 2mpg for my 20-40mph drive to work. it was not a cheap one, but has paid for itself in fuel savings ten times over!

    lopey idle?

    the 7.3 and 6.0 PSD's are HEUI engines. Hydraulic Electric Unit Injector the injectors use high pressure engine oil to push the fuel through the nozzles. bad oil, wrong oil, aerated oil.....will cause issues with the injection. it could also be the other parts of the high pressure oil system...

    Help Needed front hub 2001 4x4

    i had a similar problem on a customers truck, but it was the wheel bearings that were loose. it would let the hub cock enough to engage the locking splines partially and make a terrible grinding noise. i ended up replacing the entire unitized hub assembly.

    lopey idle?

    pop the valve covers off, throw some rags or kitty litter under the engine (just in case) and run it. unplug one injector at a time and listen. if the problem is a bad injector, when you unplug it you shouldn't notice any change in idle quality, or if its a weak injector it will barely change...
