    RPM drop/surge after coming to stop?

    Oil is good, scanned as far as looking for codes or more like a buzz test? I watch my IPR pres. on my monitor, it correlates with the dropping/surging RPM. That's what made me think possibly sensor?

    RPM drop/surge after coming to stop?

    Hey guys, trying to sort this out cause it's driving me insane. The issue I'm having is when the truck is warm, i am driving, and come to a stop light, and after fully stopping and sitting my truck will surge. 50-100 RPM (620-715) but the second I get going it goes away. It doesn't always do it...

    New injectors, LPOP, still smoking!

    Won't throw a code, the truck is for my boss, and he gave me the injectors to put in. Apparently they're from eBay. So, that could be the issue. Everything's in place. What's an IPR or CPS?

    New injectors, LPOP, still smoking!

    Hey guys, I'm at a real loss here. I have a 1995 7.3 5 speed, with 203,000. I put new injectors in because the old o rings were bad, and when I fired it up, it ran good for about 10 minutes, then smoked like a train and started popping and running rough. I saw my oil pressure was low, so I...

    6.9/7.3 interchangeable parts?

    Buying a running 6.9, just the motor. Plans are to rebuild it, but that's down the road. I have an '88 7.3, and I'm wondering what parts swap between motors? Injectors, lines, manifolds, etc. Anyone know?

    Marker Lights Stay On

    I checked the harness when replacing the switch, and nothing was burned or corroded. I'll replace that relay. No LED lights on the truck. I do have a 5th wheel connector that could have gotten water in it, I'll take a a look. Thanks for all the help guess! I'll let you know what the...

    Marker Lights Stay On

    That's what i was thinking, cause I have to disconnect the batteries to turn them off. Once I've disconnected the batteries and then reconnect them, the lights stay off like normal.

    Marker Lights Stay On

    Really at a loss here. I have a 1988 F350, DRW, 7.3 and when I push in the light switch to turn them off, it goes in all the way, but my marker lights (cab lights, parking lights, lights on dually fender, dash light) all stay on, they just slightly dim. I replaced the switch, but nothing...

    Leaving Off Air-Pump?...

    Hey guys, i'm in the middle of pulling my drivers side head to get a glow plug tip out, and had to unbolt the front of the engine to get some of the belt driven stuff out of the way. My question is, this airpump thing. What would happen if I pulled it completely and left it off? I know on my old...

    Burning Off Rotella Really Fast..?

    CDR? Whats this? By oil coming from the valve covers, I meant I pulled the driver side valve cover cap, and at idle, there was a steady roll of "steam" that was oil. Just a lot of blowby, and while I have a tired engine, I didn't know if Rotella was adding to this effect.

    Burning Off Rotella Really Fast..?

    Hey guys, I have a quick question. I did my first oil change on my truck when I pulled it out of the field it has sat in for two years. Previous owner couldn't remember what brand of oil he ran in it as he owns a farm and maintains all his equipment. I bought Rotella 15-40 and have noticed that...

    Ether? Scary? Bad?

    Okay, i'll cut my spray time down to a second. I'm also working on repairing the block heater.. The cable is frayed right at the end, and Ford wont have one in till Friday as well.

    Ether? Scary? Bad?

    Hey guys, just want to run something by everyone. My glowplugs went out, and the new ones won't be here till the end of the week. I still need to drive the truck though. Is shooting a 2 second burst of ether in it in the morning bad? After that it will start throughout the day. New to diesels...

    Possible burnt GP's?

    Good point. I didn't even think of that. It was 16 degrees outside, and I was just trying to get it started. I'll get 3 more Motorcrafts, and drop them in. Thanks for pointing that out!

    Possible burnt GP's?

    Thankyou! I had 5 bad ones. Previous owner decided Auto-Lites were good. Lessoned learned. Got 5 new motorcrafts in, and they work great.

    Possible burnt GP's?

    Hey guys, I've been having some troubles getting the old girl to start in the morning. I go out (10 degrees outside) and cycle the plugs, but she only seems to fire on one cylinder. Next morning, I go out, fires right up. Today, only firing on 1 cylinder. I'm stumped. How would I test which...

    Short Trips In Winter?

    Hey guys, i've got a question. Its getting to be about 20 degrees outside (and will still be getting colder) and I have a few things i'm worried about. I have like a 3 minute drive to school, but I stop at the local gas station in the morning and grab a drink on the way there. Before I leave...

    Which turbo do I have?

    Oh, awesome. Well thankyou! I found my project for Saturday.

    Which turbo do I have?

    Is the inline airbox better than an open filter? Such as a K&N cone? The autoparts store down the hill has the K&N's, but I could order in one of the inlines. Thanks for sharing the build on that. I know that'll save me time!

    Which turbo do I have?

    Oh, sweet. I think i'll eventually go cowl induction, but for now, i'm not worried. A louder whistle and drop in EGT's is enough of a reason to spend saturday morning and $50 on pipe and a filter.

    Which turbo do I have?

    bike-maker, do you by chance have a picture of your intake? Trying to figure out how to do one, and the thought of a louder whistle doesn't sound to bad.. Literally. What kind of setup is yours? Filter, tubing..

    Which turbo do I have?

    It looks like the one in the picture. And, I don't think its wastegated. I don't build boost until i'm up in the higher RPM (2000-up) and even then I barely reach 10 PSI at redline under load.
