    1997 12V auto issues

    Hey everyone. Been on here for a while but on the IDI side. I just purchased a 1997 12V auto dually 2wd. Price was right but now have to solve problems on it. Here is the issues. Issue one-no charge from alternator (believe I have that fixed somehow) Second-no speedo or tach...

    Missing And Smoking

    It seems his issue is similar to the one I posted a day ago but not as severe. I Putnam new Bosch injectors in tho. (New as far as I know now, didn't say reman on them). I have an international repair place in town and the old school mechanic is familiar with the IDI. All the young cats didn't...

    Exhaust

    My 85 has glass pack exhaust. True dual! Yuck on glass packs on diesel!! Going to be cutting them out soon and just running a dump out the back. Preferably I want stacks but will have to wait due to money! B

    Governor?

    UPDATE: Glued the nipple back into place and let it sit for a day and half. Got in it and took it down the road and shifted soft and even. Brakes still a little hard but may just need some more bleeding. Now to get the smoking issues from the other post sorted out.

    history lesson

    Thanks. Will definitely keep that in mind. I know it ran when parked due to like the third tranny in a short period of time so he bought a new one. May just need a little TLC and good to go. Haha.

    Carrier bearing

    I have done that before. Sux. I cut mine off with shears haha. I do not believe they serve any real purpose. Total pain tho. Hope you get it taken care of.

    Tailgate Needed

    I have 3. One off an 89 one ton. Two off 85 3/4 ton. I will see. The 89 is an xl and the other two are xlt. Not sure what all condition you are looking for. 89 is pretty good minimal dents but both the 85s are dented and rough but still there. I will get pics if you want

    I have yet to tear one apart. But I am thinking about acquiring one out of a field for the fun of it! Haha. Has a "lovely" e4od in it. Bad of course. Could get it cheap I think.

    When is it time to retire an engine?

    Seems like y'all have answered it all. I did enjoy the read. Especially the one about the leak being ford rust preventative. Haha. As far as the head goes, pull if needed, get it surfaced and put back on. Get you a few thousand more miles to go. I had an 89 4x4 7.3 5 speed crew cab. Sold it...

    Governor?

    Yea I have been looking. I managed to save the nipple that was broke off and glued it back on. Waiting to see if it works. If not I saw some post about taking a GM one off a 6.2 and retro fitting it in place. Hopefully this repair works until I find a way to do something better. I know the...

    Injection Pump? Possibly or adjustment

    I got some numbers off another site. Gonna look it up later. As far as bypassing the original is it simply take the lines off the separator and splice them in?

    Governor?

    Ok. Thanks icanfixall. Yea I didn't really understand how it would do good and then after a while at higher RPM it dumps too much. But if it gets to sticking somehow then it would make sense. On my old 7.3idi I ran ATF a lot. Cheaper for cleaning than other stuff. Never had any issues with IP...

    Injection Pump? Possibly or adjustment

    Hmm. Ok I just went out to look at it so I may see what I can come up with. Saw on another site a filter replacement from napa with a head unit to do away with it so may look into that. Thanks guys. Hopefully this will resolve it without having to change the IP. Not looking forward to that...

    Injection Pump? Possibly or adjustment

    Haha! Yea. It has new filter. I am gonna replace the rubber return line to the filter and I'm not sure about the separator. I don't see any other separator and have never messed with the ones on the 6.9. As for the fuel it is full and clean. I haven't checked what fuel looks like when running...

    Injection Pump? Possibly or adjustment

    Yea. The International guy here said could be the (governor ring) in the pump I believe and may need a new pump. I have ascertained today that the VRV is bad but haven't been able to find a replacement yet. Not sure if that could cause the same symptoms though.
