Bill, I have considered this myself. The AFE will lower your egt's and I believe that the AFE filter out-flow the Donaldson CFM wise. The one drawback would be volume of dirt that the AFE can hold vs. the huge Donaldson.
Yes, same place as last time. As far as shimming the FPR, Bill (CHPMustang) would have the full details on that. I know we need a gauge for the fuel pressure, an adapter and shims.
We'd love to have you, Don. It doesn't appear to be a big turn out at this point, but I know of two trucks that are awaiting ball-joints currently, one won't be there and I'll know about the other on Wednesday.

We are looking to do a mod day again on August 18th. Please post up if you are planning to attend and what you are planning on working on so we can get an idea for space/tool/knowledge requirements.
Thanks

BART: The Navistar 7.3L is one of the best wearing diesels we have seen and yours is certainly no
exception. Universal averages show typical wear after a 5200-mile oil change interval in this type of
PSD. This oil was in use for...
