I've been waiting for someone else to post, so I don't have to go to the main page. I'm ready to put the turbos back on The Roo Hunter, but seeing as it's my first day off in 20 days I decided to lay about. Also there's my parents car in the way in the shop, and the snow hasn't been plowed all year, so I might be a bit of a challenge getting it in there.

I've been working on my Wheel Horse D-160. Did a compression test and got 75 lbs on one side and 40 lbs on the other. Makes me wonder how this thing even starts.

I've been driving mine and messing with my other junk. Need to rebuild the frontend of my truck.

They take winter fuel seriously here.......6 tenths slower than usual

Any chance the ignition switch in the steering columns are the same between a tilt and non tilt column, be for a 92 truck? Pretty sure the ignition switch is my issue in the winter long saga of crap running plow truck, and I have a brand new one in the shelf, but its for a tilt column. Hate to tear the column apart to.find there different and have the truck down for a couple of days with the snow we keep getting

She lives! When's the first vid you"ll put in the 0-60 thread?

[DMan1198]

Soon possibly. I only have 1 driveshaft, mix maxed sized tires, and half a downpipe at the moment, so I have to deal with one of those first.

After 2.5 years of the truck sitting she fired off so fast I actually missed it. The video starts about half a second after she started

Mite need some braces on that outside turbo, I see some vibration.


As much as I hate it I have been driving my truck this week because of snow and slick spots, I usually ride the moto everyday no mater what the temp as long as the roads are clear.

I just picked up 2 spray cans of cosmolean spelling ? to spray under my truck on a spot or 2 or 3.... I will scrub and dry it good and hope this puts a stop to it, some day I wouldn't mind treating it with something.


I may end up putting my grids back in because she does not like 13*f at work, I could plug it in I guess at work but I like to show the ford guys what a real diesel truck is like.

I've got a pretty stout brace located on the hotpipe that goes to the engine mount. I can put a lot of weight on it, and it doesn't budge

You can tell them about my truck if you want. 2.5 years without running, put in a new battery, and after fixing the minor air pulling problem she fired right up

[DMan1198]

Finished The Roo Hunter up today aside from the downpipe, but still going to drive it into town like that to finish it up, and change the oil.

Looks nice.

[DMan1198]

Thanks. Truck runs great. Responsive as all getup even with the spring gate set as loose as it'll go while still closing the gate. Pyro quit working though (it looks like an issue at the connector as tapping the pod makes the needle jump to different places) power is definitely less than jaeger, but I still just have the ddp stage 3's in, and haven't played with the timing at all. I had the biggest smile both times I did a little pull in 5th.

[AHineman]

How much boost out of the primary and overall?

[spencerdiesel]

IP timing is stock??
