There are a few different versions of this mod floating around out there. If you would like me to send you a writeup and diagram on the version I used, PM me your email address. Cheers!

Just read your sig and saw "$12 AIC". Are there any write-ups on this? Maybe you could point me in the right direction. Thanks

George,

The only thing I can find is the range of build dates listed in the TSB. If your truck's build date falls in that range there's a good chance your's is one of them. Cheers!

Hey Patrick, I have been surfing this website for awhile. i have a 96 7.3 and having some issues with a coolant leak above my oil cooler. I can get a mirror up above it and it looks like it may have a crack in the block. Looks like you have some knowledge about this from some of the posts I have read. Is there anyway of finding out if my block my fall into one that had this issue? Thanks for any help, George.

What's up! I haven't been to involved with the SD's, so I'm not real knowledgable on stuff like exhausts. I'm also not a fan of the K&N's on these big turbo diesels (too many reports of pulling dirt through on the OBS PSDs anyway... I prefer something like the Tymar intakes which use a big replaceable Donaldson filter. Best thing for mileage is keeping RPMs down around 2000 (tough to do if you've got 4.10 gears). Lots of good tuners out there, so you may want to talk to a couple directly about your particular setup. Tony Wildman @ Total Diesel Performance, Ryan Bean @ BDP, Jody @ DP Tuner, Bill Cohron @ Power Hungry Performance, Swamps Diesel Performance, and Matt @ Gearhead Performance come to mind. I'll have to confess I know nothing about the VW TD's (or TDI's). Later Dude! Cheers!

Hey Fats! Hows it going? I found an old pic of you when I was moving last time. It was a B&W from when I was a roving reporter at FHS that I had developed myself there at the FHS darkroom. What a trip, cant believe I still had it. Anyhow, hope you find yourself doing great. So, getting to a F250 7.3 1999 TD crewcab question... Want to do whatever I can to boost my mileage. Only have installed a K&N air filter which amazingly gave me about a 1.5mpg increase. Any ideas? a particular chip? a particular exhaust system? Also do you answer questions on VW TD (1.6 not a TDI) Only pulling down mid 30's and should be doing mid 40's on my mpg. Later Fats! Storm

Hello Patrick thank you for the reply, the fuel lines you described are what I was talking about, up by the fpr is easy, the other end looks skinny and elongated, looks like a quick disconnect fitting of some sort, did not notice the hex for a wrench, I hope so. then no special tools. Merry Christmas HD.

No problem! It's on its way. Cheers!

Hello, I'm considering installing an intercooler in my 97 PowerStroke. I'm wondering if you still have the write up on the installation, if so, are you willing to email it to me @ busnet25@yahoo.com?

Thank you,
