7.3l super charger? n motor question
 
do they make a super charger for a 7.3L? i saw a few on youtube but i dont know if they make them for em or do you have to make one custom ?

second is there a way to silence powersteering? mine tends to groan when i turn its old n got alot of miles on it but is there anyway to silence it allso happens when i use the brakes i have no idea if its off the same thing or not but its anoying.

2001 f250 246000 miles on it old :bombin:

the pump could be getting weak. and on the SD's, i think it's called hydro boost or something. they use the power steering pump for the power brakes. the OBS used a vacum boost. on the super charger. i have no idea...

okay sweet nothing to bad

yeah it's not horrible. my 99 whines a little bit but my fluid is pretty crappy. but the pump should be good at 150,xxx. with you'rs it could just be the fluid. so don't quote me on the pump being bad. but replacing it shouldn't be to bad. i know on the OBS you have to pull the pulley and then anbolt the pump from the bracket so it's probably the same on the SD's. you will need a pulley puller kit.

I am not a fan of Lucas products but they make a good one that works wonders on our PS pumps and systems...

Remove as much as you can (2qts or so) and replace with Lucas Powersteering leak and conditioner stuff.

You can get it at wal-mart for about 5-6 bucks. Fixes 90% or better of the issues.

Empire Diesel Performance makes a supercharger kit for our trucks, its not cheap, but its slick as hell. Its compounded with a 38R or 40R type turbo as well.

A buddy of mine in Oregon has it on his truck and its a pulling fool.
