I tried to post this additional comment, but time to edit had expired. OEM "socks" are washable remember Mom always said "wear clean socks", but with the vintage of these trucks you may want to have a new OEM style in hand, just in case the mesh of screen is no longer pliable or already broken.

Humorous & sad (for me) so many "experts" back in the day telling me FTB was waste of time when I came up with the idea, and now so many out there selling kits for it (sadly) I didn't think to patent/sell it, one of the Nay-sayers early on was Bill Heath, yet he wound up with it on the LSR at...

Ryan give me a holler you have my # I have been running Metrium rod for 10+ years with OEM sock which is 70 micron BTW, but I also run a 30 micron Racor filter/water sep. on frame rail prior to lift pumps, and stock 6 micron nominal (factory rating) in the FFM relocated to driver side fender on...

My apologies for being late to this conversation, I have been in North MS doing ice storm damage recovery work with the mission team I belong to. Don't forget the 6.2/6.5 TRL , my 6.5 brothers. https://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/forums/6-2-and-6-5-technical-reference-library.218/ Time setting...

I run a Air Dog on my (06) 5.9 Cummins as AD/FASS did not exist in 2000 when I built my system on my 6.5, it took until 2025 before letting me down and I'm not 100% that the IP optic just didn't isn't let go due to age, as inside the filter (clean side) was clean. The Racor pre-filter manages...

I have been toying with idea of a liquid filled mechanical gauge, copper tube "shrouded" inside a rubber fuel hose to dissipate any leaks in the line, we run "shrouded" fuel manifolds on ship and aircraft jet engines rigid tube over tube to mitigate pressurized fuel spray mist on a hot jet...

Update after being overcome by other tasks; who said when you are retired you will have all the time you want to work projects you have...yeah everybody else's as well it seems. At least in my consulting work I'm getting paid better than I was when I was working full time. So the root cause...

Will L, I did "ground pounding" yesterday all good there I found nothing out of limit there, FYI to other readers, cell 14 is the generic listing for grounds and has multiple locations/designations depending on sub circuit on the vehicle. All engine sensors are grounded via the PCM ground, the...

Ordered the IP yesterday 11-10 it was $875 "on sale" with driver, best price from someone I trust; elsewhere was $855 w/o the driver @ Accurate Diesel, QS out of intake gasket set, Accurate has those $25.95 hopefully all here by weekend, so I can install them.

Good afternoon my fellow 6.5 aficionado's, looking for some thoughts, I spent part of the day talking with Will, shared with him what I have done thus far, drained fuel filters no water found in the Racor on frame rail or the in engine bay OEM FFM, ( I still plan to swap the elements just for...

I have a Ford 78 535 backhoe/loader, found all the old manuals here https://www.ebay.com/str/peacefulcreek oddly enuff Ford has a set for the tractor, the loader, and the backhoe, 3 different sets of books mind you, but Peaceful Creek had them.

Not the same baro reads vacuum, MAP reads pressure, different part #s and indexed differently in connector socket. in F engine trucks the baro reading happens via MAP sensor at start PCM stores that value and then reads boost pressure after start. In S trucks the baro is 2nd sensor mounted on...
