  • From “excellent” to “disappointment”

    Loved the podcast…until you highlighted an OnlyFans “diesel influencer.” Thanks, but no thanks.

    Definitely appreciate the “average Joe” content, especially for Powerstrokes (I have an early ‘99 7.3 daily driver)

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

They Put a 7.3L Powerstroke in a ‘79 F250
Q: How would you guide someone deciding between a Cummins engine and the 7.3 Powerstroke?
Jeremy says the 12-valve Cummins is simpler to wire and diagnose, while the 7.3 requires a PCM and injector drive module and greater familiarity with its electronics and HEUI injection system. He describes the 7.3 as reliable but more complex.
They Put a 7.3L Powerstroke in a ‘79 F250
Q: How do you get it electronically to work?
Jeremy describes tracing the factory wiring from schematics, identifying power, grounds, fuses and relays, then building a standalone system. Diesel Conversion Specialists is preparing a harness with connections for the PCM and injector drive module, relays, fuses and an OBD2 port.
600HP L5P with Emissions-Intact
Q: Is there an acceptable range where as an injector manufacturer, you'd say that's okay? And then I know it's going to be really tough, like give me maybe a breaking point, but when is that, when should we take your advice and not do that versus when can we listen to the tuner, or the person on some Facebook group that says that's okay?
Lenny says the appropriate injector-on time depends on turbo size and operating RPM. Larger turbos can support higher RPM, but injection duration needs to shorten as piston speed increases to avoid injecting fuel too late in the cycle.
600HP L5P with Emissions-Intact
Q: What is something controversial in the fuel injector market that would be helpful for me to know, people who are listening, maybe there's a diesel shop that's out there?
Lenny explains that nozzle-hole spacing and size affect structural strength, fuel distribution and injection timing. He cautions that oversized injectors can lead to poor atomization, slower turbo response and engine damage, and says injector choice should fit the build and its intended use.
10 Speed Swap for the 7.3L Powerstroke!
Q: Why choose the 10R140 instead of the 6R140 for the 7.3L Powerstroke swap?
Chad wanted to add six forward gears rather than only two and see how the 10-speed would keep the engine near its power band. The 10R140's dimensions also let the swap retain the driveshafts, unlike the 6R140 configuration discussed.
