    Glow Plug Harness to Battery connector

    All the IDI motors had two 10 AWG wires from the factory. The single larger AWG wire feeding the controller were on the Power Stroke. Power Stroke glow plug system is a whole different animal that what was on the IDI.

    Glow Plug Harness to Battery connector

    I bought a kit off E Bay. Delphi Weatherpack connectors that are waterproof. The kit I bought came with crimp tool and a terminal removal tool with a selection of single, two, three, four, five and six wire connectors. The are not good for big amp connections, but they are great for lower amp...

    94 turbo Idi auto trans

    Cheap is rarely inexpensive. A while back I saw pictures of Brian's sons Stroke motor after it blew with one of his transmission behind it. Transmission was fine. The motor, well you could see the crank and pistons from one cylinder bank were laying on the side of the oil pan. Where that...

    Glow Plug Harness to Battery connector

    Yes what icanfixall said is very true. I run two 1000 CCA batteries and 2000 amps at 12 volts can cause lots of sparks, fast.

    Glow Plug Harness to Battery connector

    The glue in the connectors you are looking at is probably dielectric grease that should be used on all electrical connectors to prevent corrosion of the terminals. Yes, the two yellow wires are battery power to the glow plug controller. The rest of the wires are fuel shut off solenoid power...

    I need some bodywork

    Untill the antique laws we have on the books in most states get tossed out, people that do stuff like that get a pat on the back from the law. Press the issue to hard, or if another car had been hit by one of the backups, you would probably gotten a ticket for an improperly secured load...

    ?downpipe solution ats?

    I have the ATS slip fit outlet flange. Had a problem one time, huge pot hole broke the thin strap metal I used to anchor the down pipe to the tranny. 1/4" bracket now, no more problems. Even if the flange leaks a little, it don't take long and the soot seals the connection as long as...

    ?downpipe solution ats?

    Not sure if I can link photos from FTE to here, but here we go since they are the only pics I have hosted on the web.. Stock Ford right, ATS left Stock Ford Downpipe right, ATS left I also think you will find the T3 exhaust housings will not work because the bolt pattern is...

    Got my Alcoas but might have a problem.

    Well why did you drive the stacks through the bed when you lowered the truck? Load goes in the bed, not on the stacks. LMAO

    cl finds

    That is a Rajay turbo setup, and if you look in the bottom picture you can see the hole for the missing cross over pipe down through the manifold turbo mount. Someone had one on the other site, never did get much boost out of it. But I think he was having problems with exhaust leaks.

    Injector installing

    I don't think the cleanliness or lack of has any thing to do with injectors from what I have gathered reading on both sites. And I really liked how he jumped from Mel to you Russ over on FTE, then right on to APR something or other. Winner, real winner. Vacation time over there as well.

    Injector installing

    Well as soon as that thread was closed, he started on Josh in another one. What did you guys do to him to set him off like that? LMAO I can tell you did nothing.

    Mid 20s boost IDI !

    A bit more info for you. Ken at DPS has milled 120 thou off a set of pistons with the intention of more boost, probably with his twin turbo setup. The only problems he had was getting it started, even when the temps were warm. 120 thou should drop the compression to somewhere in the 16 to 1...

    Mid 20s boost IDI !

    The only time a dyno gets anywhere around here is at one of the truck pulls, usually August something. That place is a little over an hour from my house. If I go or not depends on our work schedule and the weather. I was all ready to go last year, it was pouring down the rain so I stayed...

    The low mile truck is going under the knife, BIG TIME

    My turbo is an ATS 093, the valley pan grommet that comes with the Fel Pro kit was not big enough for the turbo pedestal drain on my turbo. May be different on the 088 unit. Scratch the 7.3 heads, lots of work with no gain. 7.3 turbo exhaust valves, 7.3 rockers in 6.9 heads is a better...

    Mid 20s boost IDI !

    If I want to drag race I have a 1973 Kawasaki Z1 punched out to 1127cc and built as a drag bike. It weighs 485 pounds and has 150 HP, much better drag racer than my 8000 pound truck would be unless it was up in the 2600 HP range which is even far outside what any of the new engines are capable...

    Mid 20s boost IDI !

    I have to say that repair was a warranty covered item. But that was the number on the bottom of the bill in round numbers. I have no idea what it takes to install a Duramax injector or how much they are. But even at today's shop rates....1000 dollars an injector...that is ridiculous. But...

    Mid 20s boost IDI !

    OK look at this for what I have on my 86. I am running a Snoway plow. There is a 1/2" thick steel plate that wraps around the ends of my frame horns and goes down about 8" below the bottom of the bumper. That plate also runs from side to side to the outside of the frame on both ends The...

    Mid 20s boost IDI !

    That depends on how I run it. Normally I am towing or hauling something, my yearly MPG average is around 11.5. But a couple days plowing snow with MPG numbers around 3 or 4 sure do drag the yearly averages down fast. Towing in the 20,000 pound range I usually see around 8 MPG. Normal...

    Mid 20s boost IDI !

    20.25 to 1 I would not want to try and start it at 20 below without being plugged in. So far the coldest I have started at without being plugged in was 7 below, and it was not happy. It did start, but it also stalled several times before I got the afterglow just right with my manual glow...

    Mid 20s boost IDI !

    Wow, I have 10 posts here in three years. I forgot one more thing. At 25 PSI on a 20.25 to 1 compression ratio motor, the effective compression ratio is higher than it is on a 17.5 to 1 Stroke engine running 30 PSI boost. Yes I love my IDI in my 86.

    Mid 20s boost IDI !

    OK I am back, now a little about me, I grew up on a farm, my grandfather owned the local Ford dealership back in my home town. My life has been spent trucking, building stuff or operating heavy machinery. When the fouth engine was not up to my expectations I had contacted Ken at DPS with the...

    Mid 20s boost IDI !

    OK here I am. Since I have a position over there, and my day job has me out of the house early and not back till late, I usually never make it to any other forums. My truck has earned it's keep from day one, I have always been in construction or excavation. At 300,000 miles, even though...

    help,fuel in the oil?

    Sounds like a lift pump diaphram rupture to me.

    What must I do to make it sound good?!!

    ATS turbo, dual stacks, no muffler. No mistaking it for a big block, they don't blow that much black smoke.
