    How to wake up a 7.3 from a 10 year slumber

    If oil gets squirted into the glow plug hole, wouldn't that hit the pre chamber instead of the piston top?

    runnig.tail light trailer wont work rest work fine (brakelight,right,left light)

    I believe the cover for the fuse box should say what is what in the box. The daytime running lights are what activates the relay, which sends power to the tail lights on the trailer; so plugging that back in MAY solve your problem.

    runnig.tail light trailer wont work rest work fine (brakelight,right,left light)

    Unfortunately, I'm unsure which one is which in the box, I haven't been inside of a 1992+ engine compartment fuse box. I have only been going off the wiring diagrams..... The middle relay is the horn relay, the trailer marker light relay and the fuel pump relay are on either side of the horn...

    If the fuse is good, you get 12 volts to the relay socket, but no 12 volts to the trailer plug when the running lights for the truck are on, I would be tempted to just replace the relay. I think they are pretty cheap.

    Your 1994 doesn't use fusable links like earlier trucks. Fuse D in the fuse box in the engine compartment is for your marker lights. The relay for the marker lights is also in that box, that could be bad too.

    What truck do you have? Do you get 12 volts to your trailer plug (assuming your dealing with 6 or 7 pin wiring) I just went through the same thing. Ended up being a fusable link next to the passenger side battery (on a 90 or 91 truck, may be different on other years)

    IDI Front wheel drive trike

    You're not thinking big enough. https://youtu.be/A1fvcp--Lzk http://www.ridingvintage.com/2013/06/motorcycle-chariot-racing.html?m=1 Now imagine using your idi trike instead of a motorcycle.

    dynamic timing: ford vs navistar?

    That's what I did. I used a ferret pick up and an adjustable timing light. My engine is set to 9* btdc right now. I was just curious about Navistar calling out 3.5* btdc.

    dynamic timing: ford vs navistar?

    no torque output listed in my specs. This does though: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/onroad/cert/mdehdehdv/1990/navistar_lhdd_a0040129_7d3_6d0-0d6.pdf The A130, A155 and A170 are listed in my book. 332 ft/lbs @ 1600rpm for the A170 ford lists as having 345 ft/lbs @ 1400rpm. That does...

    dynamic timing: ford vs navistar?

    specs say 170hp @ 3000 rpm for navistar vs 180hp @ 3300 rpm for ford in 1988. Doesnt sound THAT detuned. Maybe if the navistar were allowed to rev to 3300 rpm it might make 180hp too?

    dynamic timing: ford vs navistar?

    That's what I thought at first too. But the Navistar manual does specify 3.5* btdc via pulse method at 2000rpm. The procedure in the Navistar book is exactly the same as the ford procedure. Just different spec.

    dynamic timing: ford vs navistar?

    I was looking through the engine manual I have for the navistar 7.3 idi, and I noticed that navistar specifies that the engine be dynamically times to 3.5*+/- 2* before top dead center at 2000rpm. Ford specifies 8.5* +/-2* at 2000 rpm. Both navistar and ford specify a kent-moore tach-n-time...

    extra cooling?

    as promised:

    extra cooling?

    If recall correctly, the aftermarket thermostat wont open all the way because of the design of the engine block where it mounts, but the OEM one will open all the way. The IH service manual details this. I will try and remember to scan and post it in the morning.
