Just got back from a 2 week road trip. Drove a total of 1,256 miles. All of my turbo upgrades I did over the winter worked perfectly. Last year year I was getting terrible turbo surge pulling hills on anything hotter than my 25hp towing tunes and was lucky to hit 20psi of boost, this year I was...

Good to hear they are still doing good work.

I've had good luck with The U-Joint down in Chehalis. Sent from my LG-H871 using Tapatalk

People got tickets for running out on the actual road. I was always ORV tagged and could hit every trail out there without driving on the road, it just took extra time.

As long as it is in an ORV area, it is fine to be on the forest roads. Like up at Elbe, you can be on the roads from the parking lot up to the upper pit, below the parking lot you are not allowed.

Had it tested out and It is working perfectly.

Got the rebuild kit today, so I decided to tackle the rebuild. New slip ring vs old: New slip ring installed and soldered to the rotor: New rectifier installed and soldered on: All back together: It was a pretty straightforward job, it took m about an hour to get it all back together...

Well I wasn't done spending money. My alternator crapped out (which I'm sure is the cause of my batteries crapping out a while back). I decided I wanted to put a little more powerful replacement in. I ended up picking up a larger cased 140amp unit (OEM was 110amp) that was an option on 05-06...

The new alternator should be here today. I've been doing some reading and I think I'm going to rebuild my OE alternator myself. I can get a complete kit for $60 shipped. https://alternatorstarterrebuildkits.com/ I pulled it apart today to verify what was wrong with it. The slip ring on the...

Well I ended up ordering a new 140amp alternator from Advance Autoparts. Found a thread on one of the Powerstroke forums and there seem to be quite a few people running these with good results. When I went to look up the price on their site I got a pop up good for 25% off my order, plus they...

The more I'm reading, I think I'm going to go with the larger case 140amp unit from an 05-06. I saw a lot of people saying they were using a Bosch one, but that had some iffy reviews on Amazon.

From any of the chain stores, a new house brand one is around $200. They all have "lifetime" warranties, but I never have good luck buy any house brand electrical parts, so I'm not even considering that. I can get a new Delco Remy 110amp OE replacement for $120 on Amazon, which will probably...

Does anybody have any recommendations for a good replacement alternator (or what to avoid) for a 2000 7.3? I can't afford to go with some super fancy one, I don't need anything over powered, just a good quality OEM replacement that won't crap out a few months down the road.

Its been an expensive few months for the truck, but with this done, the turbo upgraded, and a pair of new batteries (old ones totally crapped out thanks to this lovely cold weather), I should be good to go.

Finally got the replacement air springs for the truck. The old ones are 17 years old and have some pretty good sized weather cracks in them, so I figured I probably should replace them, it would be a bad thing to have one fail while towing the 5th wheel down the freeway. It took 2 months for...

I started throwing the overboost code now. I thought my tunes were supposed to have that removed, but apparently they were not. I emailed PHP about it on Friday afternoon and they emailed me back this morning saying they updated the tunes, so I just need to reflash them (glad I have the Hydra so...

Turbo definitely spools a lot faster now and I'm building about 6psi more boost over stock. I'll have to wait until the spring when we go camping to see if it did actually cure the surge problem.

Finished my turbo overhaul today, took about 5 hours start to finish. I also did the CCV mod while I had everything apart. All torn down: Riff Raff billet wheel vs Stock wheel: Stock vs ATS housing: All done:

Final part...

Here is part #2.
