Turbo??
I'm considering getting a A/R .84 turbo housing for my truck. Hopefully to get the turbo to spool up quicker. Is this the right one for me? I don't plan on upgrading injectors and I use the truck for towing horse trailers around.Is this a good mod for towing power? Also I've had it in my mind that I won't get a chip till I get some gauges in but I wonder if its a must before the turbo upgrade? Any comments welcomed, thanks!

I run a 1.0AR housing and a chip, among other things. I also live very near sea level, in Seattle. I installed the 1.0AR housing to improve my trucks ability to generate boost at a lower rpm than the stock housing, so I could tow more easily. A side benefit for me is that my combination of turbo housing, chip, and propane allow me to make a bunch of power, without the need for an intercooler.
In my situation, the 1.0AR was the right choice, though I would also have been happy with the .84. At your altitude, especially if you tow a lot, the .84 would likely be the better choice for you. It wouldn't be necessary to have a chip to see a lot of improvement from the housing, but it would be much more substantial with a chip.
I hope this helps.

'97 powerstroke. Won't start. Just quit like it ran out of fuel. anyone got any sugestions. I think it's fuel related. It hit a little with ether. Fuel pump or injection pump?

noluckatall. Welcome to the forums. Generally it is considered bad form to hijack someone else's thread with a completely unrelated question. You will also get more views if you start a new thread with an approiate "no start" type of title.
Also, do not ever use ether on a glow plug engine...makes things go boom. WD-40 works almost as well and is much less volatile.
As to your question, it sounds like the camshaft position sensor (CMP) failed.
