    So What Did You Do With Your PSD Today?

    Yes, I got my EMT license and start my fire academy January 10th, so I won’t have time for any side work unfortunately.

    So What Did You Do With Your PSD Today?

    Only thing I miss is running th wmo, I’ve stopped doing it with this truck as it was just too finickity on viscosity. I’d have to be dead on the money for it not to haze. The idi I didn’t even use a hydrometer just a simple 80/20 mix and it drank it all day.

    So What Did You Do With Your PSD Today?

    Thanks! Love this site but the dang powerstroke has been so reliable I haven’t needed such a resource. The idi I read every page on this forum just to learn the truck. I still miss my 92 quite a bit but it’s hard to beat this newer truck with such good brakes and a 140$ programmer that lets me...

    So What Did You Do With Your PSD Today?

    Been busy, using my truck a lot for hauling, but just finished up getting my medical license and going into fire so I won’t be using it anymore in that way. I put it back into truck mode removed the bed tank and 19.5’s and put on military 37’s (free), still pulls the goosneck great and moved...

    Looking at a truck tonight. Opinions?

    See it when it’s cold, if it starts good then send it. I’d look for the big things, take the oil cap off and smell for any burnt electrical smell, smell the coolant. If any diesel smellin the coolant pass. And if it has atune make sure it has an egt gauge otherwise pass

    Is a turbo mandatory for fuel economy?

    For what it’s worth my 92 idi with the 7.3 and banks sidewinder kit did great empty. I hauled a car to la and averaged 17mpg. When I installed the 4.10 rear ended if I kept my speed to 55 I would get 22-23 consistently.

    Two questions that may be related

    You could’ve used your timing housing. The breather port for your turbo comes off it’s just rtved where the stock plate cover is.

    Buying a IDI Turbo. What do I look for?

    Lol it was very clear! Idk where you got that from

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I would pull your oil cooler and check your relief valve. My trucks oil pressure gauge was in the turbo feed line and I had good pressure. It would be about 7 at hot idle. When the oil cooler was changed it was back up to 10+ at idle but all from the turbo feed. That was even with the same feed...

    19.5 wheel

    I keep 110psi in my 225/70 and even unloaded it drives great. I have zero complaints with them. Although off highway traction does suffer. But weighted down the handling and stability is worth every penny

    Zf5 cross reference between IDI and psd.

    Yes again what you have is a cab and chassis f350. So the frame is completely different aswell as the leaf springs and rear axle. Like stated a regular Truck bed won’t fit and neither would a regular axle or leaf springs

    Alternative diesel fuel

    Your also giving advice on biofuel to a man running wmo as indicated in the first post. Just trying to advise you do heed your words. I don’t give advice on biofuel as I’m not familiar. You should do the same to people running wmo

    Alternative diesel fuel

    No it wouldn’t. The excess particles in dirty wmo will build up in the prechambers. Seen it firsthand many times.And we’re talking about wmo, you seem to be unfamiliar with it as your referencing biofuel. Two completely different processes. I haul heavy equipment for a living all on wmo so I’ll...

    Alternative diesel fuel

    Thanks, I’ll nominate to have the poster above send me his 1 micron filtered oil and process it for free through my tank and show you what I pull!

    Alternative diesel fuel

    Wrong. That’s not congealed fluid. That’s dirt and byproducts. I’ve been running. 1000’s or gallons of wmo and summer/winter don’t make any difference what it pulls out.you want to cheap out and do it without centrifuging be ready for plugged prechambers and worn ip. Do it right or don’t do it...

    Alternative diesel fuel

    I ran 1000’s of gallons of wmo in my idi. All centrifuged

    Bent Beam 2wd Lift?

    Ya a lot of ranger guys would just heat the older pre 92 beams with a torch and bend them.

    Will Donaldson ELF 7405 fit 7.3 idi?

    Understandable. You really don’t remove much and that mount is plenty strong to compensate for what’s removed.

    Will Donaldson ELF 7405 fit 7.3 idi?

    If your 2wd you’ll need to clearance the beam mount bracket

    Bent Beam 2wd Lift?

    I’ve seen em before. I believe the year ford changed was 92 or 93, before that the beams were forged and you could heat and bend them to get camber correct after lifting or lowering. The cast beams that say “do not weld” cannot be bent like that.
  22. Sidewinded_idi

    Help please

    It’s hitting your radius arms If it’s 2wd. Impossible to cut them. Only thing you can do is more offset to your wheels or spacers

    Oil filters

    I wouldn’t recommend that. The truck wouldn’t really notice that little weight.

    Temp acting weird...

    Just an FYI when my 7.3 turbo was being used for equipment transports I would regularly see 235 on my mechanical gauge. That’s about the upper limit I’d say anything over 240 you want to start backing off or turning on heaters.

    1992 Fsuperduty E4OD question

    The fipl adjustment will mess with your tc lockup. I towed very heavy regularly and liked mine set at 1.11.
