Pyrometer show your egt. Exhaust gas temp. Get one since you have a turbo.

 

Now what is the difference between Pyro and ferret and what does turning up IP mean?

I am guessing IP means Injector Pressure or Pump? And how/why does one do this?

When installing the Pyro, is there a quick easy spot to place the probe or will I have to drill into the exhaust?

 

Buy that Truck or I will. It is too nice a vehicle to just let go, its the same as mine except a year older. I had mine freshly rebuilt, cost 6,800 dollars....dont hesitate, I didnt and it has served me faithfully for the past 3 years now. THe pyro gauge method you mentioned is the best way to get it done.

 

As for the injection pump, here you go: "Fuel injection pump adjustment article"

 

This one has a Video from Dave(Mod on this forum):https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...p-ratings.html

 

And for the pyro the best place to put it is drill into the manifold right behind cylinder #8 and tap it and I'm pretty sure that's the best place to put it.... When I buy mine that's where its going

 

I went and looked at it. It ran well and the body was in good shape. The tank selector switching unit doesn't work. He did have a Pyro installed but it stopped working and he hasn't fixed it yet. The clutch seemed to make a little noise when starting out in second it was almost like a cluck, but when shifting into third and fourth it worked flawlessly. The ride was good. It had good pickup and go. I would have liked to test the 4 wheel drive but as I stated before the front driveshaft isn't installed due to needing new U Joints. Everything else seemed good to go.

I am attempting to conjure up the money (a little difficult for military with 4 kids lol). He is willing to hold it for as long as I need so that is good.

Thanks for all of the info.

 

I would get some kind of contract drafted. Verbal on long term is a risky deal.

 

Your military? Whats your MOS and where are you stationed??/

 

I am AD Air Force stationed at Dyess AFB in Abilene Texas. I am an Avionics Technician on the C-130 aircraft.

Are you Army?

 

I am going to do some searching but if anyone knows of a tutorial with pics/video of Pyro install I would appreciate some help finding it.

Also, ball joints and U Joints along with front driveshaft install.

Thanks
