I was looking for who makes roller rocker arms for the 7.3 PSD ? And do any of you guys or gals here have them on your truck? If so who sells them? I thought I remember someone here had installed a set of them.
And before I get replies that you don't need roller rocker arms on a diesel because you don't turn high rpms. (I have already had to explain my reasons to a friend when this question came up. After a few beers) But here is my reasons why I would like a set. First all they put less stress on valves and valve guides and standard rocker arms rob HP.

 

Not sure who makes some but I see your point in wanting them. It's your money. If that's what you wanna spend it on go for it man.

 

Gals right? Smiles.....

 

I guess it's all a matter of perspective and opinion. For example, I've read about more dusted turbos and engines with a K&N filter and a stock air box than I have about worn valves or valve guides. I have seen several 500k plus motors running the stock rockers with no issues.

What's wrong? Got something against gays?

 

Smiles..... Nope not at all! But I am a gal!

 

I've never even heard of any being available for out engine, but if you have enough money you can have anything built.

 

I thought Chris (PowerstrokeJunkie) had a set for a while and ended up going back to the stock setup.

 

Chris I agree totally about the turbo dusting. That is why I have my air box wired close. And if I had the $$ I would have a AIS system. But even though I don't have the money to buy what I want I still dream. If MLK can have a dream so can this poor white boy.
And I meant to say gal's not that there is anything wrong with gays.

 

I am so sorry of course I meant Gals.

 

I know..... I was just picking on you!

 

what happed to powerstrokejunkie i have not seen him on in some time?

 

Yes, they have been made for a few years now. Down side is that at $1500-$1700 for the rockers/rails and another $450 for lifters it takes most people out of the running. Running solid lifters you also have to adjust on regular intervals.

 

I do believe he's pretty much out of the scene at this point. I know he was selling his motor a while ago and going back to a more stock power level. I think he's still around on PSA and/or PSN at times but I'm not entirely sure. I haven't been paying a huge amount of attention.

 

Oh My well that is crazy money. I am glad I was sitting down when I seen them prices. Well I will be taking that off my wish list. I have put roller rockers on my boat and cars and they were around $300 and I knew that because of the 7.3 set up they would be more not 5 times as much. Thanks Clay

 

Dumb question. Do our trucks have solid lifters from the factory?
