If your wanting to build a 24v using a 12v block, yes you can, 12v blocks have different threads for sensors so a adaptor is needed. If you wanting to just swap a 24v head onto a 12v engine it's best to use 24v pistons, you may need to swap in a 24v cam but I not sure, if you can keep the 12v...

99 to I believe 04 F-250 SD, Brazil only came with 4BT's. the belt routing decal on my F-450 shows a belt routing for 3.9 (4BT). One decal for all engines that came in SD, F-250 to F-750.

My SnapOn diesel compression tester goes the 600 psi, adapters don't come with the gauge, you buy them individually. I've used it two times in five years, wasn't really worth buying.

Well I'll muddy it up some more, after a series of incidents with DPF and regen issues causing emergency vehicles to shut down during life saving emergencies, in 2014 Fed exempted emissions equipment on emergency vehicles (fire trucks, ambulances). Now mfg of emergency equipment can order new...

HHhuntitail I did some checking and it appears the .050 gasket you mentioned was .050mm and I mistook it for .050in. .050mm is .020in, my bad.

I understand a thicker head gsk if you deck the block but most go with a .020 over gsk, your the first I've heard of using a .050 over gsk. I don't fly cut the piston I use a piston notching tool I got from Isky years ago, I just got a smaller cutter for 5.9 size valves. Mine's still stock bore...

I would think anybody that handles b/w style turbo's would be able to get you an actuator. My BD Super B is an S300.

If it's leaking down that sounds like the actuator diaphragm has a hole in it. Can you hear air coming out around the shaft, if so you need a new actuator.

+.050 head gsk, WOW! Have my short block together but need to check piston height then set the head on and check valve clearance. If they're to close I may notch the pistons to keep compression up.

Why doesn't my sig show my truck info.

Good to hear, I was going to get a stage 2 but they talked me into the big stick, was hoping it wasn't to big for towing heavy.

Building a new engine for my tow rig also, old engine is puking oil out the radiator and burning oil. After a bit of research and phone calls I'm going with a Colt Big Stick on a single turbo setup.

TST live? Did you mean AFC live, check out the video's and at the top of their page click on downloads for installation instructions. http://www.powerdrivendiesel.com/afc-live/

It takes the place of the fuel plate and allows you to tune the engine in the cab while driving.

Remove the plate and get AFC Line tuner then 5x12 or 5x14 inj. Marine inj are 155* spray and 145* spray inj is best for second gen pistons.
