    turbo makes a bad grinding sound

    good question, appears under load, not sure the rpm's but how to determine boost leak? I have new exhaust mani gaskets, and all new crossover pipe , dp, and exhaust, so no exhaust leaks. Yeah, it's kind of like a screech, like the turbo did when it died on me. like nails on a chalkboard kind...

    turbo makes a bad grinding sound

    I just finished refreshing my idi, with new injectors, and a new rebuilt turbo. the injectors are new Delphi turbo, for 94's. The turbo is a rebuilt unit from bec's also for a 94' I have an rdt, where the intake is blocked off and the cdr, now clean, just dumps behind the engine. My oil runs...

    6.5 buildup

    I picked up a 6.5 with 150k running, no smoke, from a 97 silverado. I also have a military hummer pump, and a wastegate spring control from the same. The idea is to "egr delete plate already made". I have the seal/engine gasket set, new glow plugs, and a new water pump. Some questions, what...

    more "possibly stupid" upgrade questions

    Good idea, I guess I never thought of that because they would just sell their product without regard for what my needs are. "trust issues"

    Qssb might be an option too, but is not a bolt on deal. Price wise

    more "possibly stupid" upgrade questions

    Looking into said mods. As well as stage 1 options. I see that going big on injectors isn't a good idea? Couldn't I just de-tune and change later for when I'm not towing? Or am I missing something??? Looks like more fuel means more egt's but that can be fixed with tuning, right? I think...

    more "possibly stupid" upgrade questions

    looks like rosewood diesel injectors are the way to go for reman at 1650 thats a deal, everyone else is in the 1800+ range. since the d66 can only be had from beans I guess I'll have to go with them, and the hydra, well there is only one vendor I can find for that too. I'll source my pyro from...

    more "possibly stupid" upgrade questions

    Ok, so I plan to do a lot of heavy towing "10k+" I want to go with 238/100 hybrids but I'm stuck on the turbo to go with? I read a lot of speculation. I do not plan to do any other upgrades, perhaps exhaust in the later future, already have a ram intake. h2e, or d66? or neither? I want to go...

    Rear tank plugged???

    Not sure, but I not cutting into the lines to find out. The few inches I removed to the rear tank were clean and clear. It would pass some air but very little, the line gargled when I did this. But very little fuel even dripped out. The lines were essentially dry. If I had more time I would...

    7.3 idi running without lift pump?

    We don't have hookers here in 29 palms, we have desert yetis. And you don't have to pay them for that, unless you pay in meth. My compressor leaks like a us navy vessel, otherwise I would have used it, I really need to fix that dad thing.

    7.3 idi running without lift pump?

    I posted a new thread for it but I figured I'd post here for finality. The e-pump works great, better even after I fixed the leak on a threaded connector. I replaced the entire fuel line because of a clog, I hurt my cheeks trying to blow air through it.

    Rear tank plugged???

    Yup, I tried to clear the line and it was like trying to blow up One of those tiny balloons at a party. My cheeks still hurt. Everything seems good now.

    Rear tank plugged???

    I pulled the tank, and found that the sender was fine, there was no sediment or crap built up inside either. I blew some air into the tube as well and just about blew out my cheeks. I bought 12 ft of hose , some clamps, and the quick disconnect plastic clampy thingies that ford uses for about...

    Rear tank plugged???

    I started with the lift pump and selector valve. The rear tank kills the engine and the fuel filter light comes on. The pump works and pulls good pressure, and the selector valve works and is clean and clear. I am going to try and blow some pressure into the tank to see if that fixes it. I...

    7.3 idi running without lift pump?

    Ok, so I cleaned the valve, checked the filter, and checked the valve in both positions. flow is good on both positions, and no bleed over at all. I fixed a small leak in the connection to the e-pump, and tightened down all lines. ran the pump and checked for leaks, all good. I went to the...
