i had an intake heater installed on my idi and i will tell you it will have its best results after the turbo. if you go before it can't keep the air hot enough by the time it reaches the cold intake manifold.
the other day i drove my friends 85 diesel with the cruise control and loved it. i have an 86 of my own but without the cruise. if i wanted to put cruise control on it how would i go about doing this. i went to a junkyard and got a cruise control steering column to replace the other one and...
I agree with everyone start with the air then move to fuel. On my 85 6.9l when I bought it was take off the soup bowl and made a custom intake tube and huge cone filter. As for the exhaust I used a 3 inch super 44 flowmaster muffler and chrome tip exiting before the rear tire. With that...
I went to a junkyard and I found a 86 ford with cruise control but it was a gasser. I was wondering if I take it off will it fit my pickup and if not what will i need to convert it to my pickup. -Drool
I have a 1987 f-250 with a 1988 7.3 with a zf 5spd. When I fire it up hot or cold it shakes A LOT. When I go down the road, the sticks to my tranny shake too. I replaced the motor mounts and tranny mount and it still does it. I even did an injector/cylinder test and they apparantly all work...
normally the glow plugs stay on for about 15 secs if in the single digits, but if you have a manual plugs I would leave them on for about 20 to 25 secs.
I was wondering if there was anybody who makes a serpentine belt conversion or if it has been done. Don't get me wrong here, I like the ones on my truck, but I think a conversion would be cool.
well everytime we put on a filter, we start it for a couple of seconds then have to turn it off, because of all the oil on the ground. i think we are on our fourth filter now. and the oil looks like its pushin through the oil filter gasket
:dunno
On my 7.3 idi i went and replaced the oil pressure sensor because the gauge wasn't readin right, but the gauge still pegs out like its getting a too much pressure and it does it all the time. Is it my gauge or is it my oil pump.
I was wondering how much it would cost for a complete engine rebuild.
What is your opinions on as far as bore sizes? Can you buy an aftermarket cam? And who makes the best glow plugs? How long do zf 5spds last?
Last week I replaced my cdr on my 7.3l because it was smoking and it was leaking oil all over my turbo and bellhousing. When I replaced it the smoke cleared up and the oil leaks disappered. Before you think its the cdr though take off the old one and give it a light shake and see if the spring...
