    7.3 won't idle when cold

    Hi boys, I just finished swapping I a new to me turbo engine into my 93. It runs like a champ but doesn't idle when cold. The high idle solenoid is working, it just isn't enough. Once she's warm she's perfectly fine. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Bad news 7.3 blown

    I finally got it installed. Pretty uneventful. I do have one issue that you fellas can probably offer me some wisdom on. The new engine is a factory turbo(ats) and it didn't come with the downpipe so I ordered one from Banks. I still had to cut and alter the pipe downstream of the downpipe. No...

    Probably easier to just install engine without turbo, then install turbo afterwards?

    Bad news 7.3 blown

    So here's where I'm at... I did talk to no spark and yes he did have a 6.9 he was willing to sell. But I also found a guy in sac with a 7.3 factory turbo with 113,000 miles. It's been sitting for less than 2 years. After doing some research I found that the engines with factory turbos have some...

    Here is the parts runner for the EC

    Ca tree huggers I'm a ca guy and though I agree with most of this stuff, I gotta tell you I've got a 05 cummins with 80,000 miles of veg oil under his belt. The high pressure fuel systems in new trucks work great for cheap fuel, but it's gotta be super clean. I have way more problems running...

    Oil pan removal

    Thanks, in response first to the oil pressure gauge question, the stock gauge reading was low so I installed a mechanical gauge and there is very little pressure, runs fine but the pressure never gets above 20 lbs. Devlish, you say you didn't have to remove your turbo? I have a turbo too and...

    Oil pan removal

    Is it possible to remove the oil pan on my 6.9 without pulling the engine? I have low oil pressure and I think the pickup tube may be damaged as the bottom of the pan has a pretty good dent in it. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    6.9 low oil pressure

    Hi, I look at these pages all the time but don't know how to use them... I hope you all can help. I have low oil pressure, about 5lbs idling and maybe 25 lbs max. I figured it was probably the factory guage so I installed a mechanical guage, same thing. I replaced a fitting on the oil line...
