    Super Duty question

    You may need to change the header panel that the headlights attach to also. (or, I think there is a mod to make the updated headlights fit the older panel.)

    1993 E150 van 5.8L to 7.3 swap worth it

    You would have an easier time putting in an IDI 7.3 turbo engine and auto trans, rather than the much more complex PSD.

    Newbie to the 7.3L PSD

    Nope, when you experience hard starts in the cold, You'll know. Normally if you have some bad, your engine will smoke white out the tailpipe upon startup. the white smoke is raw fuel, and it smells like fuel too. Also, you'll have a very poor idle at startup until you give it some pedal to...

    Truck won't start

    That sounds like a compression problem. when it is running, take the oil fill cap off, turn it upside down and set it on top of the tube. If it blows the cap off, you have a bigger problem.

    Newbie to the 7.3L PSD

    Most of the glow plug problems on the PSD's are Relay related. The are lots of articles on how to check the GPR. I just had to replace mine, wouldn't start in the cold. NAPA GPR-109, 26 bucks. Fixed it.

    Still looking for a 7.3 diesel

    You can do better, If thats what the dealer is listing it for, shoot him 6500 out the door and wait for the them. I got my 2000 f250 Scab 4x4 LB for $7500 a couple weeks ago. 234K on it.

    Convinced my buddy to buy an IDI

    I'm glad it was nothing serious. I knew it ran good. Ya, everyone, It's was my truck. At least I didn't scrap it. (thought about it, though) I'm getting a 'new to me' diesel tomorrow. I'll post details later. Guess I need to take it outta my sig don't I?

    2wd to 4wd swap

    I didn't think you could use a chevy front axle, because it's a right hand drop, as our trucks are a left hand. I guess you could if you put in a matching t-case. eeeww, that would look weird under ford, a right hand drop axle.......

    Broken tip on a Beru

    If he went to start it with water in the cylinder, it for sure bent a rod. If you had a gp tip in there, it still would have turned over after it crushed the tip. Can't crush water.... Good luck.

    motorcraft glowplug help quick

    There are no plugs for a 7.3 that are self regulating that work with the stock controller. If you go to a push button, there are many to try. For 6.9's, Wellman (dieselRx) makes a plug that is self regulating, and it works with the stock 6.9 old style controller. I have 4 of them in now, all...

    truck won't start after ac12g plug install

    Even though i am a proponent of other glow plugs for the 6.9's or any on a push button, I agree with M.L.S.C. ZD9's for you, Michael.

    truck won't start after ac12g plug install

    Confused

    With the key on,Take the wire off the FSS and just touch it to the terminal on the IP, you should see a spark. If you do, keep touching the wire to the terminal until you here it clicking. I've had to exercise the FSS before to get it moving and not sticking.

    got a turbo..... HG's, Studs, Or both

    Almost always cheaper to do when you have the means, than to wait until it breaks. IMO
