Thanks for asking :icon_thumby:

I got a post in "Need Urgent Help Fast" forum on this issue now. I got a popping/missing problem going on with the 2.9l :dunno:

Fuel pump or maybe a leaking in your intake manifold?

Well this thread sucks now. Used to be super active... I just ordered a doubler from a friend of mine. 1 piece 4340 stub shaft and all. Should be done in a month or 2. Then it's time to show the Ole girl some love.

Tax return time. I'm linking the rear and doing a cage. I also need a new turbo for the powerstroke. The stage 1 injectors and my right foot has proven to be to much for the stoker with the quick spool housing. WAKE UP NOR CAL!!!!!!

Got a call from a buddy to pull him out. He didn't have tow hooks or a strap so we wrapped his frame with a chain. Ripped his front bumper off. Switched to the back and after a half dozen pulls got him out. Had to pull him out of the pasture in reverse because he got stuck again in flat ground. Too skinny of street tires.

There is nothing like the sound of a straight piped powerstroke. What are the specs on the powerstroke? I love me a 7.3.

Nothin special, extra cab 350 with a 6 speed with a 6" lift, straight pipes and 35's. I bought it as a fixer upper for my lady. I fixed a bunch of crap on it and I'm still fixin crap lol. Next is sealing pre turbo exhaust leaks, multi function switch and steering.

I hate all of you with these damn power strokes. I want one bad. Too bad all my money (besides the little bit I'm sneaking out for the doubler) is going towards buying a house and my wedding.

I feel ya! I don't buy new though. I paid 6500 for it with 192k on it. I've put about 3k into it so far. It's reliable now though.

Who is building your shaft? I would like to get a spare shaft for my d.d.machine doubler. It is the only custom part on my truck that can't be quickly found if I need to replace it.

A buddy of mine has a guy that builds them. I can ask.

In the next few weeks I'll have 40s on the expo. Got a set from a guy in so Cal and Morgan picked them up at the hammers. Already have a set of 16.5 inch wheels. If the tires are in good enough shape I'll be selling my 36 inch iroks.
