  1. Exhaust temperature

    Well, since my last post I have replaced the EGT gauge and installed the new one pre turbo. I have also removed the particulate trap and installed an intercooler. It's pretty common to see 1000 degrees on an incline and that's not towing anything. The turbo is a Garrett 1825818C91 1.10A/B, if...
  2. Alarm location

    Nevermind. After much digging I found both, and was able to re-program.
  3. Alarm location

    I was wondering where to locate my alarm. My truck is a 1997 F350, crew cab dually. Pretty sure the alarm is factory, but not positive. I'd like to know where it is located and where the valet switch is. Also, how do I disable the alarm until I get a new key fob? Any help would be great.

    No, but will now. Thanks.
  5. WANTED Intercooler for 97 7.3l

  6. WANTED Intercooler for 97 7.3l

  7. Exhaust temperature

    This helps a lot, thanks.
  8. Exhaust temperature

    I have a 1997 Ford crew cab dually, 7.3l with a Banks turbo/stinger and a Banks "calibration chip" installed. The truck seems to run great, but I am concerned about the exhaust temperature, (after the turbo). I was pulling my toy hauler to Bishop CA, very slight grade the whole way, and when I...
  9. Need help diagnosing

    Turns out this was a blown tire on the rear inside drivers side. The tread separated, (the vibration), then blew, (the backfire). Guess I didn't check the tires good enough, must have been parked on the blowout. The good news is I know what happened, the bad news is it cost darn near a grand.
  10. Need help diagnosing

    What opens this valve? Isn't there a point in the fuel line where I can check for water/dirt?
  11. Need help diagnosing

    It hasn't done it since, but I haven't duplicated the same conditions, (speed, load mainly). Where is this valve you mentioned located? Are there any in line filters I can check. Sorry for my ignorance but this is my first diesel, and I have only owned it about 6 months.
  12. Need help diagnosing

    The carrier bearing feels very solid, in fact I think I remember the guy I bought the truck from telling me he just had it replaced. The U-joints look good also.Any other suggestions?
  13. Need help diagnosing

    Ok. But wouldn't that cause the problem consistently?
  14. Need help diagnosing

    The truck is a 1997 F350 7.3 Crew Cab Dually. Today on my way home, it started feeling like a tire was out of round all of the sudden, like driving on a wash board. It quickly became worse, (within a mile) and as I slowed and was pulling over it became much worse, very violent kind of a...
  15. K&N Air Filter or ??

    This truck has a K&N air filter, and recently I've read some not so good posts on them. What is everyone's take on these filters? And more importantly, what other options do I have?
