Was some funny shit lol. Luckily or at least for now mine doesn’t do those big burnouts with the 38’s on it. Still there is 8-9/32nds difference between the front and rears already in about 7000 miles. ---

The oil that feeds the injectors hits a dead end in the back of the head. There is a plug that can be removed and they sell a crossover line that you thread in that connects one head to the other. Only buy the steel braided kind though. It balances out the injector oil preasure and quiets them down. Also there is a fuel tank mod you can do as well. Requires removal of the tank to trim the return spout. This keeps from getting hot airiated fuel back to the motor. Or you can put an airdog or fass system on it. The 6.slow lol you mentioned is great with a programmer and simple mods though once he starts making good boost I would suggest head studs and good head gaskets. Believe we had the one guys 6.0 running low 13’s high 12’s. ---

got a powerstroke 7.3 in a 99 f550 dump. Currently having serious issues running it. Replaced the fuel filter and gonna replace the cam sensor after the honeymoon and hope that’s the issue…if that doesn’t fix it and anyone is lookin for side work i’ll probably need a hand from someone more familiar with these engines! ---

It may be the ICP sensor. Expensive lil thing. Goes on the frontright side of the motor as your look into it on the front of the head so to speak. I know a guy who used to help me with mine and who I learned about the powerstroke from. I’ll pm him, his number. ---
