The Wicked wheel eliminates surge
Bob Riley created the Wicked wheel to eliminate the compressor surge that is common in most Powerstroke. What is compressor surge? It's when the airflow suddenly increases with boost increases. All compressors have a set point when they will go into surge. Increasing the airflow is what keeps the compressor from going over the surge line.
With the Wicked wheel you can say goodbye to surges and stalling. Dieselsite.com is pleased to offer this part, which was specially designed for your 7.3L Ford truck.
Luk clutch: common clutch problems
No clutch will last forever. The Luk clutch is about as close to perfect as a clutch can get. The engineers designed it to withstand heavy-duty use, which makes it ideal for commercial vehicles. What's more, these clutches work well with maximized performance trucks.
What are some common clutch problems? Slipping is probably the most common. This is usually caused by wear and tear. One way to test a clutch is to put the park brake on, putting the transmission into high gear and then slowly releasing the clutch pedal. If the vehicle keeps running even after you've fully released the clutch - the clutch is slipping. If the engine stalls right away, the clutch isn't slipping.
Noise problems, like squealing, usually point to problems with the shaft bearings. A warped or grooved flywheel can cause what is known as 'clutch chattering'. That's when the clutch is grabbing or jerking when it is engaged. With all the little things that can go wrong, you'll want to go with a Luk clutch, for longevity and performance.
