Quick dumb question. Are these 7.3 usually have load motor noise n the cab
Yes sir. Loud and obnoxious. I like it because between the engine noise and a little hank williams jr. blasting it makes it harder for the girlfriend to talk

A little bit of raw diesel behind her ears makes wonderful perfume too.

I think the very high compression ignites the fuel.

You should start a new post with that question. You would probably get a ton of replies.

I am still learning here but the injection system on the direct injected 7.3 is different than most trucks. The injectors are run off high pressure oil. the same oil thats in your crankcase. It has a low pressure oil pump for most of the lubrication and a high pressure oil pump to run the injectors.

they usually quit yappin' when they realize what the 2011 version of our trucks cost. all of a sudden that D66 looks cheap.

I probably under estimated the cost of a new 6.7. George, I never told her the cost of the D66, I just said I needed a new turbo.

Yep its a 2007 Yamaha Fz-1. I bought it brand new. An R1 motor in a more upright bike so its comfortable to ride and somehow insurance considers it a standard motorcycle so its very cheap to insure

From one young guy (20) to another welcome. and a little advice be careful of the advice you take from here because these guys will empty your wallets for you giving you all kinds of advice for mods lol but it usually ends in a good way (lots of hp)
