    Is it my alternator?

    It isn't. My truck ran just fine for several years with only one wire before I did the 3G swap. I also had a 1984 Mustang that only had one wire (different wiring set up) that worked just fine too. The parts stores swore up and down that it wouldn't charge without that other wire, but they were...

    1989 ZF542 on 7.3 Clutch Interlock

    Same here. I prefer to bypass them.

    Fresh build, smoke, stumped

    No. It runs too good and revs up too quickly for that.

    ATS 093 leaky slip joint repair

    I'm interested.

    Dash lights

    Which is why I'll be switching over to all LEDs when I work over my trailer this summer.

    Turbo IDI Project Truck available

    Same here. Plus I'm even farther away from Florida.

    Return line question

    I suppose that you could, but, to me anyway, it's kind of like trying to reinvent the wheel. Those are probably the original olives, they have worked for this long, new ones will probably last that long again. Just my opinion though. When I've replaced that return line, I just slid a new rubber...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Yes. It's horrible. Yes. Still no generator though. I don't pull it often enough to justify any attempts.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    PFFFT! That's nothing. I have about 5 pickup loads ready to burn, another probably 2 1/2 loads that still need to cure out, and I was just offered some more this evening. I didn't say no and I didn't say yes. Yes. It's called the pickup bed trailer. There's no F350 sitting around without...

    1994 idit dana 61

    You'll have to be careful. Most of them are made to plug into a OBD2 port. You'll have to find one that uses a cigarette lighter plug. Also don't leave them on for longer periods of time very often. I used to leave my first one on over the weekend occasionally, but it burned out a couple of lights.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I loaded up the last of the fire wood at my house and tool it over to the garage. There was a little bit more than I thought. I had almost a full load, but I thought there was only 1/2-1/3 of one.

    The speedo drive gear in my transfer case is bad. I use an aftermarket speedometer that uses a GPS signal for the speed. There's no odometer, but I can live without that.

    1994 7.3 IDI Swap out

    No I haven't. I'd have to read them first. :joker:

    IDI Newbie

    Believe it or not, you are getting there. It's astounding, to me, how many people don't want to spend much money to fix an old truck, but won't even blink an eye about spending MANY times that amount on a new one. cookoo

    is there a IDIA group around?

    After reading all of this thread up to this point, I can see some addiction, but I still don't see any problems!

    Yet another heads thread

    The problem is the misconception that this is to let the engine run cooler. It won't. The theory is that by removing the plugs and letting coolant run through the ports, that lets the heads run cooler. There has to be some reason why the 7.3 heads seem to crack worse that the 6.9 heads do.

    Return line question

    Correct. No it won't bypass the problem. The problem isn't so much the air that's getting into the filter. The problem is that since the nut at the back of the hard return line is loose, it's not sealing. Since it's not sealing properly, all of the fuel is allowed to drain out of your return...

    Trailered home a 1989 F350 dump truck that looks great on the outside, but the 7.3 IDI is something else

    I can see it. The lines aren't centered. It's just to the left of the line on the right side of the "U" shape.

    Return line question

    Since nobody directly answered this, yes. It should be tight assuming that you have a nut (that covers an olive) there. I've seen them get loose on their mounting point, but that won't affect the fuel system.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I played swap-a-trailer. I took the empty flat bed back to my garage. I backed up beside the pickup bed trailer and put all of the firewood that was inside it onto the flat bed. Next, I backed that up behind the garage and added another 1 1/2 rows of fire wood on the back to help balance the...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    No pictures, but I did haul Scrappy off today. That crazy thing still weighed 2140 lbs.! After I'd driven 3 or 4 miles down the road, I remembered that it had sat windowless during the HEAVY rain that we got Saturday night with the carpet and driver's seat still inside. So there was probably at...
