Thoughts on the new Delo 400 SDE API CK-4
From my understanding, all the new Delo has no zinc content like the old stuff did. I ran the Delo 400 in my classic gas cars also because of zinc content and camshaft failure. Locally I can still get mobil delvac CJ-4 but all the delo is now ck-4. Should I switch over to Mobil (As long as I can...- sweet66monza

Heater fan quit working, need help chasing this one down
well, last week my heater fan stopped working. I tested and pulled a working blower from my 93 parts truck and still no go.

How to wake up a 7.3 from a 10 year slumber
Well, I changed oil+filter, new fuel filter, and turned it over two turns by hand. All was well so I cranked it over until it built fuel and oil pressure. One small quick shot of ether in the intake and it fired. Ran on 6 cylinders for about 30 sec, the rest picked up and lifter noise quieted...- sweet66monza

How to wake up a 7.3 from a 10 year slumber
I picked up a 140k mile 91 f250 non turbo for cheap with a blown transmission. Truck has been siting since 2004. I already swapped a D60 up front and its almost time to see if it runs. Ive started several gassers from sitting a long time but never a diesel. What do you guys recommend? Thanks!- sweet66monza

D60 hub/rotor interchange questions 1993/1996
I have a 96 DRW dana 60 and SRW hubs off of a 93. I went to install the 93 SRW hubs onto the 96 axle to make it a SRW axle and the rotors are hitting the caliper brackets. Can I put 96 rotors on the 93 hubs and install them or do I need to come up with a pair of 96 D60 SRW hubs? Thanks!- sweet66monza

1993 F350 blowing 20A maxi fuse for IP/fast idle/glowplugs HELP!
After sleeping on it, I realized I forgot to mention one thing. In the last month and a half, the truck has been randomly kicking off and on fast idle. Outdoor temp or engine temp didnt matter. I would start it cold and it wouldnt idle up. Let it warm up a few minutes, get on the road and about...- sweet66monza

1993 F350 blowing 20A maxi fuse for IP/fast idle/glowplugs HELP!
Well about a month ago my 93 would blow the 20A maxi fuse occasionally (about every 15th startup) right when the wait to start light would go out and glow plugs begin to cycle. I got tired of fighting it and didn't have time to dig any deeper, so I unhooked the glow plug controller and insulated...- sweet66monza

My dad just called me and said the shifter jammed in the steering column of his work truck. Looks like the 600k+ miles is taking its toll.

Anyone running dual exhaust?
A buddy of mine converted his 24v cummins from stacks to duals out the back and I really like how it changed the sound. I know my V8 will sound completely different, but I was wondering if anyone has any experience with dual exhaust on a factory turbo IDI. At least on his cummins, it now sounds...- sweet66monza
