Basically I'm using my 99 2500 24v truck as a donor to go into 03 F350 screw. Need a real crew cab, like the ford body better. We're doing all kinds of tube and bumper work plus some suspension work to make it a good dune truck to recover broken buggies. Also needs to tow a 15k 5th wheel, so its...

VP truck (S475, 150s, stg2 cam) bucks like crazy after its on the road for 30min towing. Tran Temp is 150s, bucks on any edge setting except for 0/0 (stock). Add timing, things go south. Noticing some hazing on start up etc. New pump time? its been run dry a bunch of times do to boost and the...

Ugh. Just swapped converters and No Change. Basically hitch up 8000lbs and take off from a stop AND the whole drive train train shakes soo bad its visible from outside the truck . Its like tire shake bad. As soon as the converter makes any load BANG BANG BANG and won't stop till you- 1 get out...

I've been using this little valve for some time to keep the Boost pressure from the regulator till roughly 11psi for some time- it really helps! http://www.automationdirect.com/adc/Shopping/Catalog/Pneumatic_Components/Pneumatic_Valves_-a-_Accessories/Air_Pilot_Valves/AVS-5241 I have some on...

We now have a list of our gates that automatically come loaded with the highest spring levels, same prices. http://www.jgsturbo.com - goto the wastegate page and see the diesel section.

Suncoast 1800 stall triple disc, 500whp/1000torq VP truck, built 47RE, etc. Won't hold RPM under full load, rpm instantly climbs over 2600. Not much drop on a shift either. Now when towing modest acceleration under 2K results in god awful banging :doh: I thought my trans was FARKED. Then I...

98.5 DRW , EJWA , 1500 triple disc, SA dunrite VB. Can't manually shift into 2nd or 1st and won't down shift into 1st while in D. I noticed the shifter was out of adjustment... could explain no manual shift. JUST put a dunrite VB w/ all new electronics due to the governor solenoid was toast...

dotted line 75hp DDPs, S475/HX35 , 400 wastegate, edge jwa CS Solid 150 Mach4s + stg2 big stick cams Can't make more than ~1000deg egt/50psi... 15psi interstage pressure /w cam and x2 sticks. Wastegate locked shut makes the 15psi, Wastegate opening makes 17psi . Wastegate opening makes more...

Here's some info and possible caveats about my bov system. 1- its not going to give a huge ricer-like kkkkwhhhooosh, sorry. More of a quick shht when its setup right. 2- Expect some low load / low boost venting, unavoidable when you have a no drive psi / more boost than the spring can handle...

Okay since my truck is down with a melted piston I feel its time I finally get rid of the dreaded D-R-A-G this damn trans has had since the day I bought the truck...... (99 47RE). I thought it was odd that a stock converter had a bit of drag, like let off the brakes and the truck ROLLS (takes...

As title states, bought new used maybe 2-3K miles. A little :st:for my taste other than that no real direct issues. I've been told it might be a good idea to have them pop checked. $480 w/ a flat rate ride, lower 48 only please. I have them pulled and ready to ship.

Holy hell do these injectors haze with the smallest hint of throttle. They don't light an HX35/S475 combo very well either but sure leave a 100ft trail of black even half throttle. Edge Juice turned to 0 with no pre-spool either. :st: They smoke way worse than 200HP mach5s, super dirty. Kind...

This is getting ridiculous... -99 2500 -47RE -Rebuilt with Suncoast MEGA3 kit, billet input and a VB from source automotive. -Lower stall (1500) Triple disc just gone thru by Dunrite Converters to correct some issues. BD billet flex plate Drop it in drive, motor lugs down 150 RPMs (EGTs jump...

Basically I need a simple setup that uses my gates in an effective manor, doesn't require a new manifold (budget is tight for this build) and maintains the divide as much as one wastegate can. Don't need OR even want an internal wastegate messing up the control scheme. Dreamed this up when I was...

Sorry I've been a bit busy starting other ventures (jgsfab.com). But we're still working on improving / refining our diesel products. The DPPT filters have been a hit as have our 40mm vband wastegates. Soon we should be getting back to work on our test rig to further expand our knowledge of...
