    Anyone swap back to throttle cable?

    I agree, that something is causing the repeat failures, I work on these regularly, and have worked on that part so little that I dont even know any suggestions.... As far as throttle lag, I dont know what to call it, but these early 7.3 powerstrokes for sure do have some throttle weirdness...

    What problems are you having?

    Sounds like you have had a bad run of parts. Try an oem one from a junk yard? That system is relatively trouble free, have replaced far more idi throttle cables than pedal assy, or tps sensors in the 7.3 powerstroke.

    G injectors or not

    I used a couple sets back when they where available. I dont remember how much, but towing mpg was much better with the g codes vs bb. If you dont use the g codes and want to sell them, I would be interested in them.

    Spindle Nut Socket Size?

    Yes, there was more to it in that thread though. I found the thread last night, but looks like most of it was deleted.

    Spindle Nut Socket Size?

    There was another good one some years ago, guy putting stans headers on, and was trying to put the dipstick tube in incorrectly.

    On that broken spindle, any sign of a welding repair or previous failed bearing damage? Has to be a pretty rare failure.

    Burning up fuel shut off solenoids.

    A small Ball valve in the return after the pump will shut one off. Not sure how clean it will shut off, but they wont run with blocked return.

    Crank no start intake vapor!

    Does it sound like it is cranking normally, or does it sound uneven, with loud air noises coming out of the intake. I would bet you are just seeing blowby vapor from the cdr valve.

    Have any pictures of how it is broken? Know a few guys that replaced broken 60s in the old fords with 10.25s. Didnt sound like they ran into anything difficult.

    No fuel to injectors, IP full

    Did you check to make sure the metering valve is not sticking in the closed position?

    rear brakes working a little TOO well now

    Are you positive you put the same size wheel cylinders back in it? I recently did the same job on my truck, was in a hurry and did not compare wheel cyinders. Pedal is very slightly different now, and rear brakes are very aggressive. I sm betting that this is what changed with mine

    Seized both ways 5.4 3v

    I would bet something knocked that electrode off. At this point I would be pulling the engine. Maybe it can be saved, but buy your description I would bet not. If you have a way to get the cab off, it is a very easy engine r and r.

    How should this function? fuel filter head.

    It is just a way for air to get out of the filter housing. Some had a check ball and spring, and others had some kind of rubber piece in there to restrict, or maybe cause one way flow. It is fine if you made it flow freely, if you dont have drain back issues I wouldnt worry about it. Just hook...
