haha. I worded it strange/wrong/______. I should have said something along the lines of "6 out of the 8 GPs were on the first order and the last 2 were on the second order"
- Ordering it that way was the cheapest way to do it.
Don't worry. They were zd9 Motorcraps. I don't plan on buying...
I don't understand this at all? lol. I guess once I replace the GPs I'll understand. Going to learn a lot about diesels (especially) 7.3s real soon!
Riotwarrior - I actually saw your video about the valves a few days ago. Will definitely take off VCs and look for some crud. (just for future...
Thanks for your help. The RTV was to put my order into a certain price range.
With advance auto, I had a $20 coupon. There is also an online code for $20 off $50 or more. So I purchased 6 GPs and added a small item to get a little over $70. I used the $20 coupon (has to be used first) to get...
Just picked up some a set of Motorcraft GPs from adv auto for about $50 (with a tube of rtv)
IMO there is a "huffing" noise out the intake. Definitely an air noise. (air cleaner removed). I haven't been able to pay too much attention to the exhaust aside from the looks.
I will double check...
Yea I know 1 plug is bad for sure.
The smoke stays like that for a long time. It was driven about 45mins to my storage and smoked pretty good then too. It might seem worse since it is in the building. I really do think buying GP is a good idea and not throwing away money (would do it either...
So I didn't get much time to mess with it today. I fired it up. It struggles to fire up (cranks a bit) and yes I use ether to get it to fire. Once it fires, it idles fine and doesn't try to die or anything. The smoke smelled like fuel.
Hopefully I can get to it tomorrow and figure it out.
I'd say roughly 5 million miles. lol. I really have no idea on the history. I really don't think it was maintained based on what I've seen so far. Too many small issues weren't fixed let alone the big ones.....but that's what you get with a very cheap rollback.
Yea, I'm trying to research...
A sticky in the 7.3 about smoking like this? I just looked and didn't see them. Unless you are referring to removal of IP....http://oilburners.net/brian/idi/FuelInjectionServicing.htm
1 more thing. On the fuel filter, there is a Shrader Valve. I pushed that in after cranking. Should there be fuel spraying when I push?
I'm use to FI Gas engines that will always have pressure there.
Damn it guys! I was starting to get a little excited about the head gasket. No. The last time I've tried to start it, it hasn't fired. That video up there was the last time I had it actually running for a while. I had to kill air going into the engine because my ignition was bad. Previous owner...

Says it is new in the FAQs. Whether it is new or rebuild, I have never had a quality issue with most parts stores. I can get the injectors and return line kit for less than half of...
The discounted injectors are actually brand new. I have a coupon and discount code with Advance Auto and when used correctly, you can get great deals.
I noticed afterwards that there is water in the radiator, not coolant. The previous owner said the engine had been swapped. When I replaced...
First off, I'm new to Diesels, but mechanically declined.
The other day I picked up a 7.3 IDI truck for cheap, but she smokes pretty good! (Along with several other issues).
It does it when cold and warm! It was roughly sitting since this spring.
So I'm thinking a fuel issue based on the...
