    Fuel Selector Valve Nightmare

    I recently replaced most of my fuel system. The injection pump had been failing (no hot starts unless you have a cold damp rag to cool it), and I decided to replace the injectors and lift pump, as well as fuel filter o-ring(was leaking). A few months ago I took off the bed and replace my...

    Chassis Fuel line replacement

    While replacing my injectors, IP, Lift Pump, Glow Plugs, and Filter housing O-ring today, I noticed that the steel line to the lift pump is severely kinked, in addition to not lining up with any of the plastic tabs which hold it in place on the engine crossmember. Would it be o.k. to replace...

    Fuel Supply Line

    I am about to bypass my factory water/fuel separator for a racor IN F811. My truck has a plastic fuel supply line from the tank selector valve, which then goes to a steel line that connects to the factory separator, which has a steel line that follows the engine crossmember to the lift pump. I...

    New Glow Plug Option?

    I know that Beru's are the favorite, and Autolite, Champion, and Bosch are considered by most junk, but has anyone tried these? http://www.borgwarnerglowplugs.com/application.htm Or are they just another brand repackaged?

    My New Exhaust

    Hello all. I recently purchased and installed a Dynomax exhaust system for my truck. I thought I would share some observations regarding the system for those interested. Pics and a sound clip will follow; It sounds mean now. It's got that big block sound. Some like that, others do not. I...

    More Fuel Problems @!#$@#%!!!

    A while back, I was having surging/rough-running problems, which were caused by a bad lift pump. In went a holley red, and all was great....Until yesterday, when rough running returned. All of the return lines are brand new, and everything else is 6 months old. I have verified a steady stream of...

    I've Got Issues......

    fuel issues, that is. This morning, while driving to school, it ran great. I was cruising at 2700 RPMs (4:10's) on the freeway. I go to let off of the fuel pedal to exit an offramp and the thing starts surging and bucking. I put it in neutral and coast to the light. It maintained a rough idle...

    Sloppy BW T19 shifter

    My shifter has a heck of a lot of play in it, and at times is very sloppy (read:a pain in the ass-cuss ) to shift. I know it is not the transmission itself, as it was recently rebuilt. Is there a shifter rebuild kit (IE:Pins, or bushings, or something in the shifter to replace)...

    Strange Glow Plug Issues

    Let me start off by saying I am about as good at wiring as Britney Spears is at singing:rotflmao . The previous owner of my truck wired in a push-button system to bypass the solid state controller. I assumed it worked. (Never assume!!!:mad: ) So, I go to start the truck for the first time with...

    @#@%# Oil Galley pipe plug!!!!

    For those of you who installed your own turbos, how did you get the pipe plug out of the oil galley? I've tried crescent wrenches, vice-grips, pliers, etc. and all they do is slip and screw up the plug. And before I used all of those tools, I looked at every hardware store and automotive/truck...

    T19 Question.

    What is the large bolt on the opposite side of the fill/drain plugs for? My friend accidently unscrewed it and pulled it out of the transmission. :mad: :backoff It has some kind of snap ring on the end and I think it holds some of the internals together. :eek: I put it back in, and now All...

    Diesel shops in/around Napa, CA

    Anybody know of a shop in or around Napa that will dynamically time our trucks? I know Santa Rosa diesel will do it, but I was wondering if there is anybody closer that will. By the way, Santa Rosa diesel wants $100 (about one hour’s worth of labor) to time it. Is that reasonable...

    Fairfield PickNPull Heads-up

    I was at the PicknPull in Fairfield today getting a few body/trim parts when I spotted 3 IDI's in the yard: IDI 1: 86 F250 6.9 4x4 Auto. The transmission was still on it, but the motor was thrashed. No heads, rust and leaves in the cylinders but the pistons looked good (no pitting on the...

    ZF5 Spring and Interlock missing

    I seem to have lost the 5th-reverse interlock(Part #7f194) and shifter interlock spring(Part #7234). I don't think they fell into the tranny, but my friend who was helping me removed the shifter, so I don't know for sure. The transmission is out of the vehicle, and I removed the inspection...

    6.9 and Early 7.3L Injection Pump interchangeability??

    DIS mistakenly sent me a 7.3L pump for an 89, when I have a March 1984 6.9L. I figured, no big deal, the two pumps are similar enough they will work. Is this true? Are the 6.9 and 7.3NA pumps interchangeable? I am still in the preocess of rebuilding the truck/engine, but this all came about when...
