![]() ![]() Really, with a whole lot of elbow grease, countless hours in the garage and more dollars than you’d dare tell your wife you’ve spent, this old Ford is about the nicest one on the block. We’ve been able to keep the classic look with some newer front fascia pieces and we improved the ride quality with a Reverse Shackle and Super-Duty leaf spring swap on the front axle. Now over a year into the build and upgrades we find ourselves well past our 450-horsepower goal thanks to some bigger injectors, a modified turbocharger, electric fuel system and a host of other bolt-ons. A few advantages here is the lack of a need to return a core, and the smaller more efficient motor and reduced gear that increases torque from the starter. ![]() The XDP Gear Reduction starter is built from brand new pieces, rather than being a remanufactured part like you’d find locally. Cue Xtreme Diesel and their HD Series line of High-Output Alternators and Gear Reductions Starters. With all the aftermarket bolt-ons we start adding to our trucks, making sure you have a healthy starter and alternator is an important piece. An often overlooked piece to the performance puzzle is the efficiency and oomph in your electrical system. The old 7.3L Power Stroke under the hood was still running strong with 224,000 miles on it, but like the rest of the truck needed quite a bit of attention if it had any aspirations of hanging with a new 400+ horsepower 6.7L Power Stroke. ![]() Take Project Obsessed for example here, when we took ownership of this 1996 Ford F350 last year, it was basically stock with nothing more than a 20-year old flash tuner, some outdated cosmetic upgrades and a terribly riding front leveling kit. The more info you provide about your vehicle's symptoms and issues, the more thoroughly they can test your modules, and the better guidance they can give you for additional troubleshooting steps.While some might think getting twelve separate articles out of one project might be a challenge, you’ve got to consider the starting point of that project and the final end goal. If you are troubleshooting a no-start or injector misfire condition, we recommend you test both units, unless you have ruled out one or the other of the modules by swapping a known-good test unit into the problem vehicle. The oscilloscope checks show the degree to which the IDM has lost performance. ![]() IDM testing consists of verifying that the IDM fires all 8 injectors, runs an Injector Buzz Test to see if it is throwing false codes, and checking the output voltage and waveforms to the injectors with an oscilloscope.Īs the IDM ages, the current output drops due drift in the tolerances of various components. This is a great IDM testing service provided by Diesel Technology of Chattanooga. ![]()
