From what I've read it's a 17mm bore, found this link, but need some guidance, no 7 grooves listed but I'm already running an 8 groove AC delete pulley with no issues.

The 2 gauges I have on my Scangauge II at all times are for oil and coolant and for awhile they were about 4 to 6 degrees apart. Well in recent weeks my temperature range has increased to 7 - 10 degrees apart. In one instance it got up to 20 degrees apart but it only stayed like that for 30 seconds then caught back up to where it should be. With the increase in temperature range, does my oil cooler have some life left in it or should I go ahead and replace it soon? Replace the coolant filter?

Some feedback please

The Clutch fought real hard but just couldn't take the power of the DP-Tuner. :jester: I rolled into the throttle in 4th gear while getting on the freeway in the 100hp tune and the rpm's went up but the speedometer wasn't following. :lol:

So now it's time for a Southbend upgrade!!! I'm looking to purchase a 1944-60K. If you look in my sig you can see a list of my current mods, am I right in choosing this particular clutch? Is there anything I should know about it? Any special tips or tricks on the install? And last but not least, who has the best price? Any help is appreciated!

I know this is blasphemy, but what do you guys think about simply opening up the IP, on the bench, and carefully cleaning parts without actually changing any tolerances or messing with any adjustments that the IP-shop should mess with. I know that there are low tolerance adjustments that shouln't be messed with unless you have the costly shop and know-how, but what about just cleaning parts?

Anyone else have a 1999.5 and what kit did you order. I see that ES has a kit 4.5192 for 1999 (before 3/99). I am thinking some of my parts on my truck are pre 1999.5. Anyone else with this problem? I am now going to have to put it back together with the old worn out parts. I didn't press out the old ones yet. What would it hurt to run without the sway bar until I can get the right parts?

It doesn't matter if it's 50* or 80* out. It's more pronounced on cold start up but also happens on warm start up.

I borrowed the Rotunda VCM diagnostic laptop from work and datalogged a few start ups. I don't know how to load the logs from the laptop.

Here are my readings/finds with a NO START. I kept cranking it for 8 secs with no start up.

RPM - 132
IPR - 69.14%
ICP - 1242 psi
ICP - 1.71v

RPM - 127
IPR - 76.56%
ICP - 3713 psi
ICP - 4.61v

I cycled the key and these are my readings when it finally fired

RPM - 517
IPR - 51.95%
ICP - 2521 psi
ICP - 3.21v

next frame

RPM - 923
IPR - 32.03%
ICP - 3007 psi
ICP - 3.78v

Idle readings

RPM- 680
IPR - 16.01%
ICP - 764 psi
ICP - 1.14v

Usually when I have to cycle the key, it blows out black smoke then the common whitish/blue smoke on cold start up.

1997 7.3L w/ 227K The motor is all stock except for injectors, stock fuel, stock HPOP. No codes, nothing. New GPR. The EOT sensor is within 1-2* of ambient temp. Fuel pressure is bounces between 70-80 psi (CA shim). Had an oil analysis done about 1 month ago and it came back clean. I had the above issue when I did the oil analysis.

I've narrowed it down to these two based on what information I've been able to dig up. It seems like Leer quality is hit or miss and their customer service is a miss based on most posts I've read so they're out.

I like the smooth lines of both of the ARE Zseries and Snugtop Super Sport, I don't think either is higher in the rear than the front either. Also I believe both have a keyless entry option, which is cool. I'm adding the power tailgate lock this weekend as well so it'll be nice to just hit the remote and unlock everything rather than fiddle with keys.

One thing I would consider if it was somehow seamless would be side windows that open to access the tailgate so long as the latches aren't sticking way out. Anybody ever seen this option and can verify what it looks like? I'm not 100% sure ARE or Snugtop offer it though.

Oh yeah, pics would be fantastic if anyone has them. I've only been able to manage to round up a few photos here and there with the Google Images search. ]]> lwg http://www.thedieselstop.com/forums/f152/zseries-snugtop-super-sport-345857/ http://www.thedieselstop.com/forums/f23/freak-temp-climb-345849/ Sat, 25 May 2013 13:55:15 GMT Was pulling a 6,000lb camper on the highway, doing about 70 with 18-20lbs of boost.

Everything was fine, running 196 coolant, 201 oil most of the time (biggest delta I saw was 7 degrees difference). All of a sudden I heard my fan kick on and my gauges were showing 212 coolant and about the same on oil.

Within a matter of a minute, both temps were climbing rapidly, I pulled into the right lane and eased off the pedal and dropped down to about 55 and they still were climbing and peaked at 228* and 227* (coolant/oil). At that point they both dropped down and really took a nose dive quickly. Oil dropped back down to about 197 and my coolant dropped down to 172 and then climbed back up to 194.

After that, it ran normal the rest of the trip to the campground.

Coolant level is fine, cap holds pressure.. wondering if I had an air bubble somewhere or maybe my thermostat (replaced 20k ago) got stuck.. Can't think of what would cause that type of swing so quickly up and then so quickly down except the thermostat being that both temps were still within a few degrees of each other the whole time).

Ideas? ]]> 6.0L Power Stroke Engine and Drivetrain blwnsmoke http://www.thedieselstop.com/forums/f23/freak-temp-climb-345849/ http://www.thedieselstop.com/forums/f12/cummins-question-f650-345841/ Sat, 25 May 2013 13:45:51 GMT Hey there, I was just wondering, but if a 2000 F650 has a Cummins engine in it, is it going to be a 5.9 or could it be something else? This... Hey there,

I was just wondering, but if a 2000 F650 has a Cummins engine in it, is it going to be a 5.9 or could it be something else? This truck also has a 6 speed manual in it, that looks to be a out of a 2/350 super duty truck?

The reason I ask is because we bought a 93 International 4900 18' dump from the same place and it had a dt-466 with 195 hp, 5 speed. I put a gooseneck hitch in the dump bed and when I finally hooked something to it, it is terrible on power.

If the other truck has any more power or would do better, we might would get that truck and swap beds and then sell the International. We really haven't looked at the F650 yet though because they haven't decided to sell it yet or not. ]]> Ford 650/750 Medium Duties snowcrash http://www.thedieselstop.com/forums/f12/cummins-question-f650-345841/ http://www.thedieselstop.com/forums/f149/check-engine-light-stays-few-days-345833/ Sat, 25 May 2013 09:32:31 GMT I had my 2011 at the dealer for 25000 mile service and my check engine light was going on and staying on for 3 or 4 days periodically.

The stored code was P0401 and the EGR bypass actuator solenoid was replaced. I picked up the truck Friday afternoon and on the way home the check engine light went on. They had the truck 10 days. On the older Super Duties there was a way to check fault codes by switching the key off and on and the code would appear in the odometer, does anyone know if this is capable on the 2011 and up trucks? ]]> 6.7L Power Stroke Engine and Drivetrain tomallen http://www.thedieselstop.com/forums/f149/check-engine-light-stays-few-days-345833/ http://www.thedieselstop.com/forums/f32/5th-wheel-tailgate-345825/ Sat, 25 May 2013 06:02:55 GMT Was looking to weld and create my own 5th wheel tailgate.

I was nice and polite for the first few days, then persistent and a tad irritable for the next week. Now I'm pissed off. Hoping to get the truck tomorrow and asked about the cost and they are saying 1500$+++ since it was in the shop for so long. I've talked to the mechanic and his thing was "since I'm the only one here I can only work on it for an hour or so a day, oh and by the way I found all these other things wrong and fixed them for you at cost".

Trying to figure out how to get my truck back and not pay more than the 500$ for the install that I was quoted. I was told it would take no more than 10 hours/2 days to do this and it's been more than 2 weeks.....

The fuel lines and the seal on top of the injectors were old and leaking so we replaced them. We also replaced one of the injectors. Since then it is having trouble starting. It was taking a long time to start and would run rough for a little bit till it caught up. After that we found a fuel leak in the hard line going to the fuel filter. We replaced that and it would start great most of the time but every now and then it would start and then die after 2 or 3 seconds then wouldn't start up again. we would have to let it sit for 30 minutes or so and then it would start again. We went in and replaced the fuel filter and it did great for about two days then did it again where it will start then die and not start again for 30 minutes. I am not sure where to go from here and not sure why the problem started after we replaced the fuel lines. If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. ]]> 7.3L IDI Diesels (Not Power Strokes) johncherry http://www.thedieselstop.com/forums/f30/92-f350-7-3-starting-problems-345801/
