    Rebuilt 7.3 heads

    Have a set of 0 mile rebuilt heads from a 1990 7.3IDI. Heads were rebuilt due to believed blown gasket, only to find cavitated cylinder. Heads were torqued on block and removed, never fired. Been stored inside for the last few years, paid $600 for rebuild, out of the IDI game but would rather...

    Freshly surfaced flywheel for 6.9 in Idaho.

    I have an OEM flywheel from a 1986 F-250 with a 4spd. It has just over 100k miles of use. It was just resurfaced 2 weeks ago. We are doing a 5spd swap and my buddy accidentally had this one redone instead of the 5spd unit. Only asking $30, would rather not ship. Located in Kuna, Idaho.

    Because I don't get enough attention already.

    My brother-in-laws father was part of some state run disaster communications deal. He had a 1995 nissan pathfinder with about 10 radios, 4 antennaes, 4 bull horns and and numerous lights. The motor seized up and it sat for a few years. I offered to scrap it in exchange for some parts off of...

    An old friend: Build Thread.

    I plan to be busting my but over the next few weeks to try and get this truck up and running before the snow flies as my friend has trouble getting out of his sloped icy driveway in 2wd. We will be taking my old 1985 F-250 gasser and giving it the guts from my old 1986 F-250 diesel. The main...

Like I said, the 7.3 runs great, oil psi was good, idled smooth but had a little oil in the coolant but oil...

    Need a new filter for 088 ATS turbo.

    My brother in law is replacing the head gaskets on his 91 7.3 and decided to do some other stuff as well. He has the ATS 088 style turbo with a K&N filter. It's black as night and wont come clean and has become quite restrictive. He wants to go to a regular paper filter but I'm not sure how...

    Free GM 6.2 Injector tips...I think.

    I found these while cleaning out an RV I am demolishing. I think they are injector tips for a 6.2 diesel. Four of them are unopened, one I opened to inspect and the other one was loose, giving me a total of six tips. If I am wrong, please let me know so I can change this post. However if you...

    Whats the plate under the water pump called?

    I drained the cooling system and cleared out the accessories to remove the water pump on my 91 7.3, and I don't envy you V-belt guys. When I changed the water pump on my 93 the fan clutch was the only thing I had to remove. Anyhow, with the other stuff out of the way I noticed silicone...

    1971 Ford crew cab with a cummins/allison combo.

    Motor is hydrolocking.

    My sister has a 1991 F-250 4x4, 7.3 ATS 085 with a 5spd with at least 143k miles. About two weeks ago she said it started fine but smoked white a lot, and continued to smoke the whole 10 minute drive to the tire shop. It was pulled in right away and only sat long enough to rotate the tires...

    Assessing a motors condition.

    I am trying to determine the condition of the motor in this 1991 F-250 we just got. I have a feeling it may have been rebuilt or replaced at some point. It runs very smooth, has only one small oil leak, hardly any blow by, and no smoke out the tail pipe at all. The oil pressure is good, 20psi...

    Got another IDI in the family.

    Got another IDI in the family. (Now with carnage pics) My sister thought an IDI would be a good vehicle for our parents. In some ways yes, in some ways no, regardless we have it now. It's a 1991 F-250 super cab with an N/A 7.3 and a 5spd. She bought it unseen from a local auction for about...

    Where do you guys mount your electric fuel pumps?

    I got a free Holley Red fuel pump from work, it was part of a display and was going to get tossed even though it's a functioning unit. I have one on my mustang, been putting out a steady 5psi for over a decade now. I figured I might as well get ready to put it on my 93 as I don't see the...

    ATS 093 Air box.

    I recently changed the intake setup on my truck and don't need this anymore. You get the top of the box with lid bolts and filter minder which never seemed to work, the bottom of the box with mounting bolts, and the CDR hose. You can also have the boot that connects the air box to the turbo...

    Install complete, home made catch can and intake.

    Today I managed to get my new intake system and the oil catch can I made installed. Everything went together like it was a kit made for my truck. The turbo sound in the cab has really increased and my catch can is already doing it's thing. I also tossed in a new set of motorcraft plugs while...

    Couple questions regarding radiators and a gas to diesel swap.

    We are swapping the 6.9/4spd from an 86 F-250 standard cab into a gasser 85 F-250 super cab that has an OBS body swap. We are looking into finding a diesel OBS core support. The current radiator in the diesel is old and needs cleaned or replaced. I was curious if the non A/C IDI radiator...

    Wow, this burns my biscuits. Radiator rant.

    Five years ago, I bought a new radiator for my 93. I got it from O'reilly Auto parts, Ready-Rad, part number 432194. Two days ago the top tank started leaking around the seam. The radiator has a lifetime warranty so I just planned to replace it. I brought home the new unit, same part number...

    Oil catch can, would it be better with a breather?

    I'm sorry if this has been discussed in length, but you cant do a search for "catch can" because it splits the words and gives you tons of results that have nothing to do with what I need to know. I am preparing to change out my intake and want to add a catch can in-line with the CDR hose. Most...

    Intake tube size?

    I have finally had it with my intake. All the oil that comes through the CDR hose has swollen the boot connecting the air box to the turbo enlarging it so much that I had to wrap about a half inch of electrical tape around the tube end to get it to seal. I went to install my coolant filter...

    I cant keep up with my Alcoas.

    I love my Alcoas, but they are driving me nuts. I took them off and polished they snot out of them last spring and they look like crap again. they wont wash clean, I am going to have to pull and polish again. I think I would like to have them clear coated. Could I just polish them up and...

    Adding a coolant filter, looking for compatible coolant types.

    I am collecting the parts to install an SCA pre-charged coolant filter. I am currently running Fleet guard coolant, but my work started carrying Fleet Rite which after contacting the company was told it is compatible with Fleet Guard. The bad thing is that we carry WIX filters which are not...
