My 7.3 has been down on power and had a calcium deficiency so I fed it some milk to put the dairy in LEGENDARY.

+100hp?
~150hp over stock, but with how poorly the old ones were working they're probably 200 hp injectors in my truck. I had 3 injectors that failed a cylinder contribution test.
Those were the old ones, I had them pulled waiting on ups to show up, I was too excited and forgot to take pictures of the new ones.

That's not true. There's plenty of people with stock hpops around 450-500 HP, and there's some that have an aftermarket hpop that noticed no difference over stock. The fuel system and turbo become issues before a healthy hpop will.Quote:

Prove it with a dyno sheet. My truck runs out of fuel with a stock TS chip. The HPOP will always the limiting factor in an oil driven injection system.
My tips on this diesel faggotry, pay attention to your gas gauge and you will not run out of fuel.Quote:

What about a picture of my scanner showing my oil pressure and duty cycle in check? I have single shot injectors now, they are much more efficient.Quote:

This guy says he made 496hp on the stock HPOP.
Ha!
Crap, didn't see the posts after Karl's...
7.3 jackoff thread.
Got the ol' Dodge back on the road after this happened in November last year....

Got the truck back a few weeks ago and it's badass...
I had Relentless Diesel do all of the work. Chris, who owns and operates the shop is an Aggie grad and a really good dude. He did an awesome job.
Basically ended up with a whole new short block, not much was salvageable from the old bottom end... Decided to do a few upgrades since it was a full engine build. Mind you, these were done with daily driving/towing duties in mind not the drag strip.
Cam, turbo, injectors, and head work really woke it up.
With the ol' Dodge strapped down on the dynojet it made 503 rwhp and 962 rwtq @ 45 lbs of boost.
JB will love this....:flipoff2:
(I still refuse to put flippy tow mirrors on it though.)
Which motor does your truck have? 24 valve? What did you go with for a turbo? How's the smoke?
Still a 24 valve, need to double check on the turbo specs wanna say 62/59 or 62/60.
Not sure what you're asking by how's the smoke?
Is the smoke manageable? Most all the pre-commonrail cummins trucks I've seen with any decent power are smokey pigs.
Anybody interested in a Nicktane CAT fuel filter adapter for a Duramax?
If anyone needs Fleetguard, Mack, CAT or donaldson filters, I'm a dealer.....
With the comp turned down and light throttle it doesn't smoke much at all. But if you set it on kill mode and hammer down then yeah, it will smoke ridiculously...
Fvck yeah
I am looking at tire options for the dodge. My tire guy showed me a tire I haven't seen before. Cooper Mastercraft MXT. I can get it in a 37x12.50x17 D which runs 50PSI and 3525# load. They are much cheaper than others also. Anyone hear anything about these tires, or what would be another good option. I'm running 35x12.50x17 E Nitto M/T tires right now and have not gotten crap for mileage out of them.
All I know is the guys at cardoc like them a bunch on their toyotas. Never heard anything about them on an 8k truck though. Never ran the nittos but my toyos have been awesome for all weather traction and not much noise. Travis and I both are running the 37x1350r17. Fuel tires are a knockoff and look just like the toyos and are quite a bit cheaper.
Toyo
Toyo comes in a 37 e rated tire too I think. Ill look into them tomorrow.
Toyo 37x13.50x17 e rated and generally run about 30 psi and occasionally down to 15 psi in really soft sand. Sometimes I'll air up to 45 for long highway trips or towing.
I am liking my Hankook mud terrains on the dually so far. Have held up well to the jobsite and pastures this winter. Were very cheap for a 265/70/17 also.
anyone have a 7.3 hpop laying around?
Do some diagnostics before you throw money at it.
Also not a part I would be looking for someone to have laying around.
I'd skip that. Its probably more worn out than yours. I would either get a Bosch reman or a t500, and only after I knew there weren't any high pressure oil leaks.
Check the ipr first
They can easily be swapped from truck to truck. Takes a extra deep 18mm to get off tho

Diesel Rice!!
now I don't have to replace my headlights...
No, now you really need to replace your headlights. The 02-04 lights are 25 each on rock auto, they bolt in and use the same 9007 bulb.
or u can cut a lil and fit 05 up lights for a lil more and get way better lighting
who am I? Sparling?Quote:
