I did install the BAE High performance upgrade compressor wheel today, and I'm so far really happy with the out come.

Engine feels to run/work much smoother and a really nice much longer whistle, I even see a really good improvement in miles per gallon.

I do not think that there is so much more power than before but it feel like it has more power as it gets much better boost at lower RPM's that's also the reason for the better mpg

I had to go buy a new lock-nut for the new compressor wheel as the old wheel had threads in it self, and this new one didn't have threads.

Old vs. New:




If some one ever talks to BAE ask them if they have some kind of SPAM filter or something like that set on their email clients as we have tried to reach them many times with no luck, so thanks to Sean we did get these parts ordered.

I have now sent them question once again about this upgrade wheel and so far no answer!

Hey Snow, I noticed you listed your 04 6.0 as having an EGR Delete done to it. Have you noticed any changes in performance and fuel milage. I am running an 05 6.0. I already went through the Warranty EGR system replacement but am out of warranty now so if it craps the bed on me now I'm responsible for the cost. Also are there any vehicle inspection concerns when doing this install? Thanks, Dan

 

I had a minor wheel bearing failure that resulted in complete TEAR UP as it says on the Pit Bull Side wall

I ran the old ones over 45,000 miles, and 6 months ago I still had almost 1/2" thread depth left, and then I noticed that the insides started to tear up, when I had almost slicks at the front I changed the front tires and put them to the rear and rear tires front, in 3 months I had all 4 tires completely torn up after having 1/2" thread dept for more than 12 months almost 3 years now.

I tried to find the reason for this and could not find anything all alignment was fin and no bearing play, then one day the left side front bearing failed, I ordered both sides and when I installed the new ones I noticed that both sides was bad, I have checked these wheel bearings many many times for the last 6 months and no problems. When I installed the new bearings the wheel alignment was off with over 3 inch... so there probably was bearing problems all the time for the last 6 months.

Now we go even bigger!











I will invest in dynatrac free spin bearing conversion one day...

And now with 42" x 15" - 16" the truck start to look small so I think 6" lift will be next, it has 4,5" lift now

 

dude...that thing is like a tank i love it!

 

Thank you!

Glad you like it

 

I plan to do something similar with my 95, put it on big tires with bumpers and everything.

 

Please share some picks when you get something done, I did a 7.3 PSD swap on my friends -94 F350 and that one is also going to be rigged with big tires and bumpers and so on.

 

man you have one nasty truck I really like how your bumper turned out!! Did you get blueprints made up for it?

 

Truck looks great right there.

With another inch in suspension are you looking for articulation, clearance or just fener to tire gap?

 

Linne,

Can you give us the specs on how you modded the stock rims- backspacing and offset?. I would like to do the same in 12" wide.
Thanks.

 

Sorry I have had no time to do the blueprints.


Actually the only reason I wanted one more inch in suspension is that I want to get rid of the 4,5" lift blocks under the rear springs and in front I have 2,5" inch block under the leafs, and all these blocks makes all the U-bolts weak, as they get longer the amount of force put on them also grows. And I have longer leaf spring shackles in front that lifts the truck another 2" to make it level. So I was only thinking that why not order 6" lift with only leaf lift, no blocks. But I think 6" lift is the absolute max I ever go. Or if I some day get to order portal conversion for the axles the I could put stock suspension under as the portal parts them self ad a lift of about 5,5"

I used stock rims and I only made them wider on the outside the back of the rims are same as stock, I did not move the center at all, only added 6 inch to the out side

 

I am dking the same thing with my rear i didnt like the 7" total of block i had so k cut it down to a 1.5" pmf block with a 2.5" sheckle flip and 3" lift springs to stay at 4.5" but have virtually no block at all. I used a pmf block so i can move the axle rearward after the shackle flip since it move the axle forward some.

 

Linne- Sounds like a good plan with the future suspension planned. I imagine it would ride considerably better as well.

 

I also think it woul be better in many ways

 

Looking good Linne! I may be thinking about upping my tire size once theses are done. I have 38/14.5/18's now with my lift and I think is will look better with a bit more tire.
