    Bad DMF or something else?

    Been a while since I posted here guys. I started following the Facebook page more and the forum less but still think this is the best place to get an answer to the question you ask and not storries about their cousin's friend's brother's ex-girlfriend's grandpa's truck. I have a factory turbo...

    Factory Turbo Removed. What to check?

    So I have a factory turbo engine with the turbo removed. From what I can tell the engine has been repainted, possibly rebuilt. I have no idea on the mileage or if it was anything more than an aerosol overhaul as it was already been swapped once into a truck when I got the truck. I am going to...

    Ceramic Coating

    So I am considering having my factory turbo ceramic coated on the hot side as well as the up pipes, down pipe, and manifolds. Should I have it coated inside and out, or just outside. I have heard that coating just the outside will cause the material to fatigue and eventually crack due to not...

    WMO and Timimg

    I am looking for some advise on where to set the timing for a 7.3idi. With my drive time and distance drastically reduced about 15 miles one way I plan to run a W50/D47/RUG3 mix. I think factory time is supposed to 9.8 BTDC with the oil being harder to ignite should I look at startimg around the...

    Is it too much?

    I am looking at a factory turbo engine for $600. It is complete from fan to fly wheel and oil pan to air intake. I am mostly looking to rob the turbo parts for a 3000 mile engine and set the block in the barn as a rebuildable core or spare parts. The good: ran when parked a few months ago...

    Is This What Coking Looks Like?

    So my glow plugs have started to fail and I have pulled plug 1 and 2 and it looks to me that they are coverd in coke. Is this really what I am seeing or is this normal build up? I have been running a WMO 50%/ D2 47%/ RUG 3% blend.

    WMO + Power Service Silver = High EGT??? Or Coked Injectors??

    I have a '89 F-350 4x4 with a 7.3/C6/4.10/235 tires and 91,000 original miles. I parked in the garage last Thursday night and by the time I got to work with a 1 hour drive I was having surges of power. I slipped off to the parts store and picked up a bottle of Power Service Silver and double...

    Buyer or seller feedback rating.

    On a different forum we have this iTrader feedback that when two people complete a sale or trade they each leave feedback on the deal. It shows up under the location/post count of each user. We have the hall of shame for business/vendors and this can be a simple way the check how individuals...

    High Idle and Timing Advance Question, and Glow Plug Circuit

    I thought my cold idle solenoid wasn't working on my new truck and I tested the solenoid by running a jumper wire and it does function like normal. In doing my research on a manual switch for high idle I noticed that the cold advance and high idle are triggered by the same 112 degree coolant...

    WMO and Goldenrod Water Block

    I am looking to use some sort of water filter before I place my centerfuged oil in the tank that I will fill from. I have heard a fair bit about Goldenrod water blocks as being good filter but I am not sure how the membrane will hold up to a WMO/Kero or D2 mix. Is it even worth getting the see...

    7.3 Sitting out, What should I do?

    I have my 7.3 pulled out and sitting in the garage waiting to go back in the frame after I paint it. I have been told that it has about 3000ish miles on a U-Haul rebuild. I can see the stickers on the valve cover and where one used to be on the air cleaner so I have no doubts they have worked on...

    Waste Fuel Shut Downs

    I have read somewhere that when running waste fuel you will need to drive the last 10 miles on diesel to make start-ups easier. Is this true with WVO or WMO or after a certain blend percentage. Climate is southern Michigan.

    Synthetic oils

    I am wondering if an IDI will have trouble burning a synthetic oil. I may have a line on about 470 gallons of the stuff. I do know that synthetic is designed to resist thermal break down so burning it will be inherently harder to burn but is it impossible? I plan to filter with a fuge and cut it...

    I have been driving my dad's truck this week and changed the fuel filter out because if was old. I put the new filter on and drove about 60 miles with out issue. I shut the truck down and had a hard time starting it after a few hours. Once it fired I opened the hood and saw fuel dripping from...

    ZF Parts Interchangeability

    I have a diesel ZF that is 2wd and a 460 ZF that is 4x4. I like the splits in the gasser trans better than the diesel. I know you can swap the tail shafts between 4x4 and 2wd. I want to know if I can swap the gasser internals for the diesel internals? Thanks for any help.

    Search function failed me. Oil and Coolant threads.

    I know I have seen a decent sized thread about what oil to run. I tried to search but I can't seem to find it. I do know that this thread came about around the time CI-4 ratings went to CJ-4 ratings. I want to read through this again, as I am in need of an oil change. I also know that a...

    Sub Forum Idea

    Has any thought been given to a place to post all of these craigslist finds to keep the tech sections cleaner? I have seen the 6.9/7.3 forum get a few of these in a day so why not place them in a different section and keep that forum more technical minded.

    Maybe I am just being cheap....Thoughts?

    I am looking to start doing the brake lines on my crew cab soon, and well, I am tired of laying under trucks working on brake lines. So I am looking into stainless lines. I have found the 304 stainless brake tubing on several sites. Then I got the idea to see what McMaster-Carr has for stainless...
