Dt360 2008 f450

[6.9poweredscout]

That's perfect. I need to measure how long my arm is. I think i should be able to make a hydraulic setup work off of a Ford or dodge. Not sure i want to make a air slave work like you did, but if i have to i will.

The dt360 is of course has static timing, do you know what RPM's the truck ran at that it came out of?
Whats it running in yours?

The real trick would be to time it right for the RPM it's running at highway speed, and also make sure that the injection pump and injectors are running right.

From what I understand about the dt360 pump so far, the injection duration is on the long side, so there might be a lot of injection past TDC.
Ideally, you'd want your injection to be as quick as possible, not long.
The p7100 should do just that, from what I understand.
I don't see why you couldn't get a lot closer to 20 mpg if it's set up right, a lot of dt360 school buses are getting what your getting, and they're a lot bigger and heavier.

Hmmm that's interesting. My p-pump and spare dt360 have finally arrived, so onto the next chapter of this truck.

How was it stock with the 466 injectors? I know you said it had a bit more power, wondering how you feel about it now.

Do you have a list of modifications for your build?
My current hangup is valve springs. The racing ones available apparently can crack rocker arms, and I can't find any of the exhaust brake ones that are better than stock but not extreme.

slow. but ok in 3rd-6th, it maintains speed no problem up hills and stuff.

John Barnes, the other guy on the internet with the white f250/dt360 said to weld the rocker arms if they are the stamped steel ones for the heavy valve springs. He also made his own serpentine conversion too!
