    Thankyou. Im torquing the heads too 100 as we speak from justin at r&ds advice. What air filter do you have? And yes i will be doing a bigger turbo with intercooler and cranking my fuel pump up till it stops.

    Got my 6.9 back from the tranny shop(expensive mistake!). All the work i have done has made this thing run way smoother and feel more healthy. The new heads make the truck not sound like theres gravel in the motor. I would still be willing to get a new IP and intercool it though. I really...

    Looking for a Western Washington 7.3 IDI mechanic for regular maintenance

    Very clean truck. I just overhauled mine(headgaskets, studs, waterpump, rear main seal, oilcooler, every gasket in the motor!). Learned a great deal about these while i did it. Truck runs way better now and leaks nothing. I would be willing to help with stuff as long as its not headgaskets...

    I did the rear main just as the book said. The one I pulled out was flush to the outside. Old one was installed wrong. Learned a very expensive lesson. always pull your torque converter before pulling the motor! i broke my input shaft for the converter. Now I have to pull that too.

    if I was to attempt the rear main seal do I absolutely need the tool that is specified in the directions?

    Problem is I threw the boxes away. I'm pretty tight with my Napa homies though so they might take them back. Just called the dealership and zd9s are 18$/plug! Might have to look online....

    Thankyou for actually explaining the issue with the glow plugs. I will get some FOMOCO ones when I can. I don't want to remove the motor again! Just wasted $85! I did want to add a tip/bad experience, I found the way the OG book tells you too reseal the oil cooler is backwards. It says to put...

    Thanks for the fuel line help. I was trying a drop of motor oil on the fitting and that wasn't working. As for the glow plugs I already bought them so oh well I guess... how to do they "swell"?

    As you can see I was surprised to find out I had a rebuilt IP. it says 67cc on it so i assume its just factory settings(as the modified pumps start at 90 I believe) Right now I'm trying to figure out how I can make my turbo drain way more reliable because that is half the reason it leaked so...
