Unbolt the turbo from the manifold and see if you have oil in the manifold. If its dry then you need to buy a turbo. Have you ever shut down the...
The IDI 7.3 & 6.9 use a Standadyne DB2 injection pump. They aren't bad engines if you do the proper maintenance, but finding one now that's been...
It will last if you follow the directions on how to shift it. The super 10 behind the c15 in the 379 I was driving worked pretty good until...
Here's a cab pic of the Kw I drive from time to time. Its all cleaned up now, previous driver trashed it. [IMG]
It really depends on the kid, and how disciplined, smart, and hard working they are. I live in a college town full of 17yo+ kids and have zero...
^The N-14 powered W9 with straights I sometimes drive is the same way too. Its turbo whistle is what hurts your ears if the windows are down.
Modern day 21 year old in a truck? Scary, unless its a farm or military kid.
^ Seriously, it will destroy you financially. 80% of the hot shots around here are Dodge/Cummins, the rest are GM/Duramax and Ford/7.3...

It was full throttle and it boged down at the same time the suspension is getting smashed down. It doesn't make much noise either, just a rustling...
I would go with the n-14. It has more life left in it compared to the accert that's at 1m. The n-14 is also cheaper to o/h, less parts, cheaper...
I think so, I'll have to go look at it again. I think I may be overlooking something obvious.
What helps me the most is to run the route a couple times before hand and make note of any questionable bridges ect. You also MUST know EXACTLY...
I'm going to try this here first since there is more traffic. Does anybody know how to wire up a newer radio (its a jvc) in an '02 379 that has...
I vote DD. Just like the others have said, its cheap, reliable, and good on fuel.
I alternate between sirius, mp3, and fm/am depending on where I'm at or whats playing. Sirius was way better 6-8 years ago when I first had it....
Mostly large fleet trucks from what Ive seen online. The 379 I drove had one and it was an ex Thomason truck. 13 speeds are good too, so are 10....
