    HPX Oil Hose Go BOOM!

    I'll check it out - it's out in the truck right now, and I'm heading out to the hydraulic store at lunch. We'll see what they say. Mo

    HPX Oil Hose Go BOOM!

    Yeah, it was a mess alright! On the pressure test - anybody have any idea on the pressure that is generated by the HP oil system? I was thinking I read that it was about 2,000. Sound right? Mo

    HPX Oil Hose Go BOOM!

    Ran down to the local hydraulic supply store (Parker) and had them make me a HPX hose. The hose was 5,000 psi, and had the 90 degree crimp on fittings on the end. Installed the hose and after about 30 miles - BOOM - sounded like a gunshot and the truck shut off. Got out and looked and there...

    Bypass Oil Filter - Good For Gassers, Too?

    Well, I have learned that a bypass filter is a good thing for a diesel. Talked to a guy this last week that claims it's been 80K since his last one. Said the oil still tests good, but that he thinks he might do a change anyway. ANYHOW, I was wondering if a gas engine would get the same...

    New To Fords and Diesels - Need Tips!

    Hmmmmmm, that's interesting. I don't honestly know what's in there right now. Will have to give a look-see. So if it is green - just what might you have to do to convert to the gold? Is it more than just a flush-n-fill? (as I scramble for the search button!)

    New To Fords and Diesels - Need Tips!

    Hoss - thanks! Those are some of the neat "little" things that are common knowledge to many of you, but I could never come up with in a million years. We do not about the CPS, and one is going in the glove box very soon. I had no idea about the SCA; appreciate the tip and that will now be...

    New To Fords and Diesels - Need Tips!

    Well, I'll warn him about all those itis's, but I don't think he will listen! Point taken. I take it HPX is high pressure crossover? All the others are already on the list of "to-do's", except the wastegate mod and the T/C mod. Could you help me and explain just what those would do for us...

    New To Fords and Diesels - Need Tips!

    True - Thanks for the tips. I know my brother will be interested in some of your ideas as he's pulling about 12mpg right now. He'd be thrilled with anything above 18. He works for a distributor who handles Amsoil, so the synthetic fluid thing is a done deal. I've been reading up on some of...

    What the h###"s a WiKi? I'll find it. Hey Rick, yeah I've been reading, but it's too soon for it to sink in and mean very much. There's a ton of info on this site and I've only been at it a couple of days. I suppose I'm guilty of trying to speed things up a little. I belong to a couple of...

    New To Fords and Diesels - Need Tips!

    Hi All! After having GM's all his life, my brother has now slipped over to the dark side - Fords! Hey, who am I kidding - if I didn't work for GM my truck would also be a SuperDuty (just love their looks). But, I'm not here to start a war. Just that neither him nor I have any clue about what...
