  1. I'll be heading into my 3rd Radiator now. I'm at 500k miles, and the tank gasket on the driver side is leaking. I cut the radiator cap vent disk off, and now the radiator does not hold any pressure, but I've been this way for over 1 year,r even with a 200℉ thermostat, and still have a leaking radiator still. This winter, I'm hoping to be able to replace that radiator.
  2. Wow. Just crazy to have a bad processor.
  3. Some of you might think we are not around. Truth is, we are still working on cleaning up the shop mudslide disaster. Currently, we are down on vehicles, being that Beast just lost a starter, Thor had a random injector failure right at the time of the mudslide. Most of my tools and shop stuff are still buried in the yard. @Tweety Bird is trying to fill my shoes on the website by handling administrative duties. I'm working with the locals here to attempt to get use of a small track hoe and hoping for the return of the skid steer. Shop is still just a mess as we keep sorting materials to dispose of the debris while hunting for tools, parts, or any belongings. We are trying to plan for winter coming which includes getting firewood. Remember, both of my chainsaws are gone in the mudslide. Then I attempted to get both trucks running without a full set of tools and had to drive to friends' places to borrow tools for what I was missing. Currently, both trucks need work to get ready for winter. The crazy part is that I have to find help for the heavy-duty stuff because my cancer / ostomy is preventing me from doing most of this work...lifting restrictions...hernia risk...still building up my strength. Just another note, as for access to the website @Tweety Bird and I am sharing a laptop right now. Her laptop screen got damaged. My main computer finally gave up and the video card isn't rendering the screen correctly. That machine was built a long time ago. To top it off...our cloud server that controls the network here, is giving us backup, and storage and video recording of the security cameras just died too. I'm working on solutions to all these issues.
  4. Ok. I get your wanting to learn why it won't work. Don't make any mods that cannot be returned back from. Like milling the intake off.
  5. Be careful about this design. I still don't suggest this path. I don't think there is many gains to that whole intake system unless you are WOT all the time. I'm still assuming this is a daily driver street truck and not a strict race track truck, correct? Being a highway truck is going to be partial throttle most time. So boost is going to be low majority of the time. EGT can be controlled by timing. If you're looking for cooler temperatures, then you'll be milling the intake off to remove the coolant passage in the bottom. (1/2" pipe plug near the IAT sensor) Which is weird, being I've changed to a 200℉ thermostat from a 6.7L and am using custom timing and able to keep EGTs in check. At least in my design heat is my friend giving me better ignition quality but not over 140℉ intake temp ever even towing. Problem I see is the turbo is going to be hotter nearly 400℉ output temperature heading to the intake without a intercooler to cool the air before entering the engine. This link should help you figure out temperatures. Just https://www.stealth316.com/2-turbotemp.htm IC Efficiency as a zero if your removing the intercooler. IC Efficiency as about 85 percent value forthe stock cooler.
  6. Absolute truth. For me it was that way for many years. Now the last two years have been reactive because of cancer and the lack of being able to work.
  7. Good to hear that it was a turbo that was the cause. Too bad you cored out the old turbo. Rebuilding is easy to do.
  8. I would highly suggest against that idea being manifold temperature could be as high as 400°F without a intercooler. There is a video of a Ford diesel with pre and post intercooler temps 400°F is easy to reach.

    My adventure of having a second run at bladder cancer and going back and forth to chemo treatments and surgeries. "Titanium" the character, kept me going and helped me with depression and stress of the idea I might not make it. I've made several new friends and found a new way to enjoy life as I continue to dress up and do my Titanium makeup. I'm always taking my adventure out into the public and share my artwork with everyone!
  10. NAPA parts ive noticed that NAPA typically will upgrade there part line based on failure rates. I just reported a fuel filter that is not big enough to hold the lid. Look in 3rd Gen for my post about this.
  11. Syco, you are going through a rough patch. It sucks when things fail in that manner. Yeah, you are going to have to make that call again and get it fixed to use your truck. I'm super curious about the test results and what happened.

    This was so awesome. I ran into a older couple that shared photos of their son and all the stellar comments. Their son did the whole punk theme, mohawk hair, and in blue green color. Checked out of the store with our groceries to run into Stormy Rose, she is a young artist who started her own version of Goth makeup, very impressive artwork for even her age, super cool interaction.
