At Zout's cookout, Clinto asked me how many miles I've put on Big Betty and I honestly didn't know. I finally remembered to calculate it based on one of the early photos where I could get an odometer reading. Wow 2,218 miles since December 2011. And as a testament to the TLC that Clinto gave...

My computer crashed and I've had a heck of a time finding the part numbers for the IssPro gauge and mounting cup that I used. I bought mine from egauges.com. Here's the mounting cup that I used to mount my pyro on the steering column. Mounting Cups:*2 1/16" Dia. Mounting Cups - Black -...

After some additional research and reading, I've come to believe that the exhaust gas temperature difference after the turbo is a max of 100 degrees cooler than the pre-turbo temperature. In a long steady pull, the post-turbo temperature eventually matches the pre-turbo temp. Thanks to several...

I agree with the steering column idea. Minimal installation effort, no changes to authenticity of the truck, easy to keep an eye on while driving.

Just a thought: does your truck roll easily and without unusual noises? If you have it rolling at 10-20 MPH and you push in the clutch on level ground, does it keep rolling along and gradually slow down, or does it fairly quickly slow or stop? I'm just wondering if you have a brake dragging or...

You should be able to very easily take off in high range 1st or even 2nd with no throttle. I do it all the time. If you're revving up to 1400-1500 and then letting the clutch out you're doing it very wrong. I'm not flaming you, but something is really wrong. You should be able to smoothly...

I just installed the Isspro gauge. I asked them to put 24V bulbs in it, which they did. The Isspro uses an amplified probe though, so you must also power the gauge itself. They supplied a diode, not a resistor, that goes in line with the 24V source to drop the voltage down to 12V. I tied the...

That sounds like a bad clutch.

Yep, you nailed it.

I figured out how to upload photos with the new Tapatalk. Here's a few of the pyro installed and operating.

Had a great time at the cookout. I had a little mechanical issue on the there, but no problem on the way home. Loved checking out the trucks and meeting everyone in person. Thanks Zout and Zout2 for having us over.

Ok, soaked in sweat and smell like a refinery now, but the fuel leak is stopped. Its a temp fix but not too bad for the home depot parking lot with two crescent wrenches. We're getting cleaned up at Arby's and grabbing a quick lite bite for the road. Remind me not to stand to close to open...

My danged flame heater is leaking fuel on my turbo and making smoke. I gotta fix that so we're delayed a bit. I need to just put plugs in the feed and return so it shouldn't take long. I just have to make it to Lowes-Depot and figure out what size plugs I need.

He probably just puts it in the back of the truck. Those skiffs are pretty light; easy to move around by hand.

My son and I will be leaving Canton about 9:00 am. I'm sure he'll make me stop for waffles on the way, so we should be rolling in about noon.

Looks like wet weather for the cookout. I'm bringing my frog togs and a couple of canopies to add to whatever other rain protection as might be there. I hope my windshield wipers keep working!

Zout, I may have overlooked it if posted previously, but what time on Saturday should we be there? Noon? Earlier or later?

I've got a couple of arms left over from experimenting with various "fixes" for my wipers. I'll put them in the truck in the morning so I won't forget them on Saturday. You're welcome to them.

Not that I would mind the visit Clinto, but I'd rather it be for a new winch and not a new motor! I'm not turning it up until I'm sure of the EGT operating range. That being said, it was a mistake to put the probe downstream of the turbo. I did that for two reasons: a) I wanted to be able to...

So, my poor son came down with the flu on his 11th birthday. In between trips to the store for stuff for him, and cleaning up the barf, I finished my pyro install and it works! The problem now is that I'm not quite sure what it's telling me. I installed the probe after the turbo about 2 inches...
