I have a feeling I sound like a grumpy old man lol. I’m really not trying to put you down for what you’re doing. If you’ve happened to read my build thread....that I still have not finished... like most of the people commenting on here have, I mention in there that I found that sometimes I seem...

You can literally buy an injection pump that puts out 3x the amount of a stock injection pump. It will allow you to absolutely blow a 6.5 apart with fuel. This can be accomplished with just bolt ons. I’m not saying other parts won’t help with overall efficiency and what not, I’m just making the...

I only read the beginning of this thread, so I know I missed some things. But, the obvious reason the Fords are running more power is simple: db2. They never went electronic. All of their engines stayed mechanical. That is essentially the key to all of their power. That and their engines are...

He didn’t force that together at all did he lol. Don’t mean to laugh at your misfortune. It’s a shame when people say they can do something when in fact they cannot. Now instead of having a running truck, you paid a guy to break your transmission and then have to fork out cash to repair his...

Most likely the pump is broken. What usually happens is the shaft is forced into the back of the pump and cracks it. If you’re lucky, maybe he just broke the converter. But every time I’ve seen someone not get the converter on correctly, they’ve broken the pump. I believe the pumps are the...

So he slid the transmission into place while also lining the torque converter up? If he did not put the converter onto the transmission BEFORE installing the transmission into the truck, I can guarantee he broke it. Takes an extra 10 min to unbolt the converter and slide it onto the...

Or it could be as simple as you are really low on transmission fluid. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sounds like something isn’t hooked up correctly. Or, my guess, the torque converter wasn’t on all the way and the pump is broken. With that said, I have the same controller and had an issue with it being in limp mode bc the controller went bad, but it still had reverse. Sent from my iPhone...

I ended up not using the van intake manifolds. I put the stock truck manifold back on. I am actually using the original upper and lower truck intake on the center mount setup now. I will get some pictures when I get the chance. I had an issue with the 1.7 rockers I was using so I had to send...

Once I get some more time on it, maybe some longer distance towing, I can give some more input on anything I notice that may be different with the upgrades. It really stinks that it’s been down for so long. I was really looking forward to seeing a difference with the cam, rockers and center...

Sorry, there was going to be a second update after the first one last night but my son came in and wanted to play. Truck ran good. It shifted as it’s supposed to. It’s been so long since I last drove the truck that I honestly can’t say how much, if any, difference the few changes did. I feel...

Update!! Husker was correct. Have been waiting on TCI this whole time. After extremely slow emailing back and forth, I was told it would be replaced or repaired. They said they would send someone out to pick it up(??) and wanted my address. I gave them the info and never heard anything back for...

I'll be keeping an eye on how you get this to fit at stock body height. I had to use the ole hammer to get a very similar looking manifold/up pipe setup to clear the cab with a 3" body lift. The clearance issue for me was the driver side v band and flange. Driving it around the yard (still can't...

I've spent since Sunday trying to get ahold of tci. Their customer service is the worst I have ever seen. No email responses, no one to answer calls, no responses on their live chat, and even no one on their Facebook page to respond. After three emails through their website, 4 attempts at live...

I haven't touched the wiring for the tcu. The only thing that was unhooked was the crank sensor wiring for the tach input. The power and ground were also disconnected when I changed the battery. Everything else stayed plugged in the same as it was when the tcu was functioning properly. I...

Updates!! Ok, so not much has happened engine wise, but I have made some progress. But I ran into a bit of a snag. So I was able to turn the injection pump gear a tooth and get timing close enough that I can now fine tune it with the adjustment at the pump. I don't think I will have to move...

I think Nate actually finishes his projects before he even starts a topic on said project. That way he can make it look like he's really fast, but in all reality he is just as slow as the rest of us. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Someone please correct me if I am mistaken, but in my head I see moving the ip gear one tooth counter clockwise to advance it one tooth, correct? The pump gets turned to the driver side, or clockwise, to advance, so that would be the same as moving the top of the gear to the passenger side, or...

This is the pump that was on my other engine. The modified marine db2. The cam is off, I had to use the offset key to set the icl on the cam, which put the pump out of time. You were the one who reminded me before that I would have to adjust the pump to counteract any cam timing changes. That's...

I thought I got more pictures of the up pipe and the turbo during the modifications, but apparently not. I will try to get some later when I pull the pump to adjust the pump gear. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
