I was kinda wondering if just a flare would work, thats the route Ill go then, thanks! Yeah I have tried the manifold both ways, it actually comes closer to fitting with it flipped up but the exhaust housing and wastegate still interfere with the heater box a good amount.
Oh alright thats good to know I didnt realize I had to wire both sensors in, I do have a destroked tach kit that Im using. Ill definitley make sure they are seperated.
I have a battery tray already that will sit on the drivers side battery location so I can run two, I was hoping I could just modify the ford cables to work like you just mentioned.
And Im thinking Im gonna have to that route on the trans dipstick too because after looking at it I dont think that stock dipstick will fit at all.
Thanks for all the tips!
Sharp truck and nice work!
I might turn and add a second battery on the drivers side but so far this thing fires right up with the one but I don't have a grid heater or anything else on my motor. Try the ford cables you might need to cut it and add a new terminal but it should not be too much of a pain.
the dipstick- if you have a good pipe bender you might be able to rebend the dodge tube but mine started to kink real bad so I just used the flex one for ease.
what is your plan for the tow/haul light that will flash it is anoying the heck out of me. I might just kill it like I did my check engine light.
That looks great! Nice Work!!
Looks good. My buddy had a 7.3 that worked identical to your truck
Awesome build subscribing.
Did you get a new 273 or did you just change out your input shaft?
Great build and very nice truck!
Hurry up Graham cracker.
Matt,
Just a heads up, what is your plan for your degas bottle? I don't think you will be able to use the ford one the intake tubes will be in the way. I used a small Aluminum expansion tank with billit filler neck. I got it from Summit racing it has a 1/2" bung (IIRC) on the bottom so I can use it to fill/top off my cooling system. I mounted it on the passenger side on the fan shroud as high as I could get it.
Do you happen to know what size fittings you used for your turbo oil supply line? is the adapter on the top of the oil filter housing a npt to AN?
If you want a VC to get rid of the sheep's head, I have a used one I can set you up with. LOL
