and the last 24 or so

 

this being where I stand...truck obviously wont make rre 2016....so it will be focus with trailer and bike...kinda like this...

 

Lee is hitting it hard! Nice shop!

 

Thanks Glen, but it is not my shop...

 

So did the exhaust improve performance? MPG, ?

Was it a good fit?

 

I think that's the worst IPR pigtail I have ever seen. Nice work though!

 

He doesn't have it done yet.

You and me both Brother!

If there is one thing that we can count on Lee for, it's plenty of pictures!

 

I should bring all my broken parts to the riff raff event so you can all see....the ipr harness, the compressor wheel....core support...etc The pictures don't do them justice

 

I have to take a pic of my fuel line between bowl and pump I just removed, barely any thing to stop it from leaking

Found mouse nest under HPOP

maybe my pump was ok but changing it anywaysince it looks old

 

I just spent some time going through this build and almost had a heart attack when I thought it was just another dead thread with no update on modification of the core support then I looked at the date....I am in the process of painting my SCLB 97 Stroker actually the same color but came across my crusty core support, will most likely be cutting up a gasser one also, I am in for the outcome of yours though! Nice work!

 

some very good information in this thread. Subscribed for sure!

May I ask who your "wiring guru" is in Fort Wayne? I am three hours from the Fort, and have friends in the area. With what I am working on, I would love to talk with a "wiring guru".

 

Vacation kicked my butt....But it was fun at the RRE event in Newport, TN....I will gte back on the truck in the next few weeks.... I may have found a donor lower hoop....we will see...


If I did, I will probably make cardboard templates and welded up a few replacements for guys that may need them....

 

Whew just read all 21 pages!


Making great progress Lee! Youll almost have a "new" 7.3 diesel when your done rebuilding stuff lol!


Did you rebuild the turbo yourself or did you have a shop do it?

 

I watched a youtube video and did it myself...

 

Was it very difficult? I've been kicking around the idea of upgrading mine and am wondering if it's worth the effort lol
