    What does this noise sound like?

    Had same issue and posted. Turned out to be 1 blown lifter and 3 or 4 bad lifters with the retainers starting to fail. Take the rockers off and push rods and send a camera down and see if the lifter retainer is starting to come apart. Check out my photos, and you can see. It's the loud thump...

    New duralift running at 3psi

    How is your tank pump? In the site glass is it completely full? Any debris at the bottom. You can use an air and blow back into the tank to see if there is a restriction. That pump should be clacking away.

    Broke down

    With the diesel standards today you need to put an additive in it. All the additives have something to help with rust, water, alge and *lubricity*. I have had it shut off before randomly because it ran out of fuel. Had to keep purging the Schrader valve with the fasset lift pump helping. Once ya...

    Stuck lifter help???

    Well it looks like I'll be needing lifters. The one picture shows there is no retaining clip and square piece or follower that holds the rod up into correction position. Do you guys recommend any new lifter from rock auto? Can I reuse the valley pan? And going to just add updated rockers. Not...

    Injectors

    i have never used them. i just recently bought the delphi injectors. not bad they were about 30 bucks a piece. they work well. just make sure they pop test each one so you know they all work together. if your in a pinch you can just put them in out of the box.

    that's it, the black one on the fender. the bottom silver relay is for the starter with the heavy gauge red wire. those go to the batteries and starter. the glo plug controller is located on, if your standing looking at the truck, to the right behind the intake closer to the break booster. what...

    Sitting truck frozen drum brake advice

    definitely alot of pb blaster. on the back of the drum should be the adjustment to loosen and tighten the pads. loosen them the most you can. an air hammer will work good too. it will take awhile but it will come off. good luck Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Tach and gauges not working

    not to laugh but get ready to chase the old ford electrical gremlins. check all the fuses, and invest in aftermarket gauges, they have cheap ones that work well. autometer makes a great diesel tach and works well with the 6.9, the tach sensors are hit or miss. i bought a few brand new ones...

    Pesky Fuel Leak.... How to Proceed ------

    Need to find that leak. i would let it sit at a hot idle for a while and carefully put some pressure on the injector lines. if it starts spraying fuel you found the problem. when did you last replace the injector cups and hoses. those are cheap and always good to replace anyway. check the...

    No start 6.9

    You really shouldn't need glow plugs when its warm make sure you use motorcraft glo plugs only, they work the best. you can check each plug with a test light. Diesel tech ron RIP on youtube gives you a great how to test glo plugs. make sure your glo plug light isnt out and check fuses to make...

    Brake trouble

    make sure you bleed the brakes so there arent any air pockets. how were the slide pins? if there any rust or deposit build up it will not allow the pads to come away from the rotor, those need brake only grease with sealed rubber boots. also make sure when the pads went in they go in smooth...
