Looking for different DIY websites.

I know a lot of you guys (and a gal or 2) have some sites saved up that you refer to for help. Maybe a thread or 2 or 3, too.
I have been toying with the idea of a 100% OBS Power Stroke DIY website that is full of cheap DIY stuff. Like upgrades, fixes, etc.
I know there is a lot of info already on the web, but they are in many different sites. I would like to have all of this info together, easy to find.

Please post up, or send me, links of the sites that you know of that possibly do the same thing now (maybe someone beat me to it?), or to sites that have DIY tips tricks, and so forth.

Thanks.

Thanks for the links, but I'm just looking for OBS stuff here, not Super Duty.

I think there are a lot more OBS guys that do more cheap upgrades and stuff that the SD guys don't even need to do.

I just gave you all I had on that particular computer. It is a mix of stuff.
OK OBS I will look into my other computer.

Jim, you still da man!

I got a link to a great site that has an OBS with triple turbo's but for some reason I think you have seen it before. LOL.

Are you looking to add this to your website, or start a new one? I'd like to suggest one strictly based on format. http://www.guzzle7pt3.com/index.php

Yes that is all super duty stuff, but what he did was take write ups from threads here at FTE (and just possibly some other inferior diesel type site), get the pictures from those who did the write up or install, and create a web page out of it. A much more crude method of accomplishing the same thing would be just to compile a list of links like here http://www.roadsidehelpnetwork.info/...s/Page1344.htm (Amiller ((Alan)) started this idea, but it was taken over by others when he lost touch here)

Many of the mods you're referring to are common. If you can enlist some volunteers, you can probably get several folks to go through the mods step by step and take photos, or search for older links to get you up and running.

Not really sure yet. Probably a new one, like www.FirstGenPSD.com or something.

For example, I'm thinking like the IDM mod, step by step color pics, with a part number and direct link where to buy the resistor and gray silicone, so that a DIY type guy can order himself and not pay someone. (I know something similar exists now, but I want to get all of them together on one site.)

Another item would be the 6637 air filter. Pictures of what it is, then each part seperate with part numbers and direct links to one (or several) sites where to get them. Guy can click and buy off those sites and save instead of someone like me gathering parts to and selling them marked up for profit.

Other ideas:
Bypass coolant filter.
Bypass oil filter.
Regulated Electric fuel system.
Etc.

And some from my DZLJIM website:
Poly bushing install.
Fuel filler mod.
Possibly larger rear tank swap.
Etc.

These are all I can think of off the top of my head.
I need help with other realistic DIY mods for the OBS. I am an OBS die hard so that's what the site (or pages) will be geared toward.

I have a 2,000$ camera, and lots of skills.

So, whoever needs pictures and how too's.
Uh.
I'll accept the funding.

I'll do good pics when I do the IDM Mod.
I just need that damned resistor to do it.

Feel free to link any of my stuff off midnightmods.
I'd rather have you link than copy.

But, if you do a sight. i'd rather see the how to's there, instead of just a list of links to other sights. Just be sure to give others credit.
