    Tow Mirrors

    I recently towed with a 2018 F250 with tow mirrors, but found coming from my Kodiak they sucked. I could see about 3 feet down the side of the trailer, compared to down the whole thing on the Kodiak. How do the mirrors fair on the new 2017+ trucks. I attached an example of how much I can see...

    Boost Range

    So what is a given standard range of boost one would expect from a LBZ towing? My Kodiak never seems to make more than 26PSI, wondering if my tune is holding it back and if I could be running more boost and getting more airflow lowering my EGT's? Its a stock turbo truck just trying to figure...

    Doing some work on the truck to mount the generator and found the previous owner cut a hole in the top of the tank and made a pickup for the Lift pump instead of using the factory pickup.

    Turbo Response time

    My current Kodiak tune from PPEI has the exhaust brake on all the time in a low level but since any adjustments of the throttle invokes the exhaust brake i feel like the truck is no longer able to predict van position since it spends all its time preparing to stop the truck when I lift off the...

    Reuse crank and rods?

    I have my old motor I have been tossing around the idea of having machined .020 over to fix the spot from the broken piston, and build it up. My question is can I reuse the crank and the rods if they are ok? 225k on everything my thought was to reuse them and put in some delipped lb7 pistons.

    Why are compounds good for towing?

    So, it seems to be a general consensus the compounds are the best setup for a truck that tows and wants more power while towing. Now my question why/how? When you make more power you need to add more fuel and air right? So you do this by adding more boost. More boost and more fuel creates...

    OD Lockout Switch Kodiak

    Is there a way to program the OD Lockout switch found on the Kodiaks to lockout 6th? They work great if you have a 5 speed it holds you in forth but if you have a 6 speed 4th is too much. If not I guess the solution would be to play with my shift points to move 6th out farther.

    Proper Location for Oil Temp & Pressure Sending units?

    So I found lots of threads about this but lots of pictures that don't show up. F U Photobucket. I wanted to get a consensus that these are the right ports if you want to monitor oil pressure and temp at the filter housing. In my case I have a sandwich adapter that has a single port on it...

    I have a Allison from my Kodiak with 227k on it. Wondering what the basic mods should be done to it during the rebuild. I don't know if these transmissions have the same issues the 1000's do in the pickups or not. Also what would be a reasonable price range for the work?

    New injectors new build = Misfire#8

    So we got the truck running over the weekend but now have a code for misfire on #8, looking at the balance rates #8 is way out of line. My concern is my tune didn't have any of the injector flow rates or codes in it. Would this possibly contribute to the flow rates being out of wack...
