I've got my cast iron boxers on so fire away. ;D. Besides that, at least my Ford is a DIESEL. <br>[/quote]<br><br>What all have you done or learned about your truck?<br>Anything you came across that made it really perform good or gain mileage? I know theres a few lil tricks with the Cummins and theres a 96' PSD that my neighbor has...I'd like to pass on any tips to him as his mileage is low. Similar truck to yours...cept its blue. Gets 9 mpg city and 12 hwy. We know it ca do better.

Thanks for the welcome Gonzo<br><br>Been watching this site for a month or so. You guys have a lot of fun here. Caught Jack in a post over at FD, and told him he had a good thing over here. He invited me to join and here I am .

Scotty<br><br>What has your neighbor done to his PSD? I didn't want to hot rod mine as it is a daily driver and I use it to pull my trailer.<br>I did install a K&amp;N and it appeared to get about 1 more mpg. Usually I get 15-16 driving to my shop and as bad as 8-9 towing. Gonna do the downpipe and cat delete pipe soon. Hope that will get it a liitle better mileage. I have 4:10's with 235/85 tires.

Dunno the rear gears or tire size though.<br>I noticed that he has an oilleak on the passenger side valve cover that is very wet.

Scotty<br><br>He may just need to torque the valve cover. I can probably get you the spec. If he needs to replace the gasket, have him get the parts at an IH dealer. About 1/3 cheaper than Ford. Kinda like getting Cummins parts at Cummins, instead of Dodge. Also, there is a plug and wiring harness intergrated into the gasket. This powers up th glow plugs and injectors.

Scotty<br><br>97 inch pounds on the valve cover bolts. Do you have any filters that will fit his intake? Some controversy over the K&amp;N. I've never had a problem with mine.

Welcome to the site Turboblue,<br> So Jack has fallen off the wagon and is posting over on the F-D site again. : He just can't let that powerstroke habit go, can he?.... <br>Gonz,<br> I thought you were Jack's sponsor at his &quot;Fordaholic-Anonymous&quot; meetings. (Maybe you better see if Hoss is slipping him some of the pills that he takes and Jack just doesn't know it!) <br>Hoss,<br> It looks like you ain't going to intimidate Turboblue,,,,,, <br> ,,,,, (ouch!..... that's gonna leave a mark!).
