EGT questions
Are you sure the turbo is mounted correctly? Seems *really* odd to have to modify a pipe that much to fit it, especially a purpose built kit.- ISPKI

EGT questions
Oh yeah, ive heard that his fan makes a considerable difference. Whats the 6.4 fan clutch conversion? I feel like I could get engine parts from a junked 6.4 cheap and easy... What is the opening of your downpipe and how much clearance do you have to work with before hitting the firewall? Only...- ISPKI

EGT questions
This is one of the glaring issues of a mechanical fan system, they increase with RPM but not relative to the actual temperature, whereas a properly setup electric fan would scale with temperature. Only problem is getting an electric fan that moves as much air as the big stock mechanical. Water...- ISPKI

Random surging while driving
Well, the truck had been running decently well since doing these fixes. Was picking up some siding for the house and it started surging again on the way home. Stalled once at a light but fired back up fairly easily. When I got it home, I noticed a drip of fuel coming from the passenger side...- ISPKI

ATS 093 leaky slip joint repair
Yeah im having my machine shop manager take a look at it and see if its something they would be interested in turning up when our volume is kind of low in the shop. Also - Increasing the female coupling OD to 3" per your suggesting would bring it in line with off-the-shelf stock which will...- ISPKI

ATS 093 leaky slip joint repair
Do you have a machining quote from a US based machine shop? My company's machine shop is a little light on work and may be interested in quoting an order of these.- ISPKI

“Need help using my DTI 3300s timing meter on my 6.9 IDI.”
You will want to clamp the - wire directly to your battery ground post, rather than relying to the ground traveling thru the injector line.- ISPKI

“Need help using my DTI 3300s timing meter on my 6.9 IDI.”
What offset would we set for these engines? I havent checked my timing in a while and now I feel that I want to go back and check it again to make sure it hasnt moved.- ISPKI

Cup holders
I built a shelf on top of my truck's headache rack that extends over the roof of the cab. I then welded mounts and brackets to it and bolted a small (ranger) truck toolbox to it to hold all my gear, chainsaw, chaps, maul, parts, tools, etc etc. Works pretty good but it would be alot of weight...- ISPKI

Cup holders
Be happy it wasnt one of the high $$$ ones. I might shed a tear if one of my team ran over their optrel. Thatd be 800$ down the tubes right there. Does this mean we need to develop "hood holders" for the welders out there with mobile rigs? Special oversized hangars in the cab?- ISPKI

Another good reason to stay out of Calif.
I think, the drive to reduce emissions has the potential to drive transportation technology development in a positive direction. Oceanic and air transit really hasnt evolved significantly since the invention of the ICE. Maybe its time for a significant leap in those departments. We have a...- ISPKI

Another good reason to stay out of Calif.
A quick lookup shows a very consistent ~420ppm as of March 2024 across a large number of studies. Trend charts show that for as long as we have been tracking CO2 levels in the atmosphere it has steadily increased year after year. We are no where near lowering CO2 levels to a dangerous level...- ISPKI

The Official "Show Us Your Ride" pictures of member's trucks thread.
If you landed a 7.3 idi that isnt completely roached out and it actually runs and drives for 800$, then you got a helluva deal. Best ive done is my 94 superduty with 200+ on it, 3/6 tires blown out, doesnt start, had to shift it into and out of gear by pushing and pulling the transmission lever...- ISPKI

Another good reason to stay out of Calif.
I thought they were doing a diesel generator with a small 3 or 4 gallon fuel tank all mounted mid truck (no driveshaft since it would have EV motors). They estimated that the diesel generator would achieve significantly higher efficiency because it would run at a constant RPM which is one of the...- ISPKI
