    6.9 IDI w/7.3 Powerstroke Turbo

    Used the tp38 since it was cheap and flows good on compressor side. Ebpv was retained to use as exhaust brake, and warm up valve, have yet to try it though.

    TECH 101 engine chuff/ valve breaks POST MORTEM

    My old 7.3 I had, had a chuff out the exhaust. I did an compression test on it, all 8 came back good 440 plus. I decided to pull the heads to rebuild them since the engine had 310,000 kms. All the exh valve guides were as bad as riots like BAD. I was told by the rebuilder that knurling was a bad...

    Think I killed the IP

    How long have you cranked it? Ive had the power wire come unhooked on my carter pump. It caused the truck to have no power and then shut down. I hooked the power wire back up and it fired up again. I would think even with a bad injection pump it should still produce fuel at the injector lines.

    1994 ZF 5 speed, loud knock, please help diagnose.....

    Sounds like the dual mass flywheel is shot. Take the flywheel inspection plate off and grab the pressure plate (in neutral), and see if theres rotational play between it and the ring gear. I believe over 1/2 inch is worn.

    DIY Injection Pump Reseal

    I have rebuilt 2 pumps so far with no special tools no calibration. Once you get the pump apart u will notice that it is very simple and is easy to take apart reassemble. The 99009 stanadyne manual has a different pump model pump parts wise. The cam ring pin is not threaded it just pulls out of...

    BB code Delphi new $50.00ea

    I paid $45 an injector at kamloops fuel injection a year ago so they should be the same price there. If you do buy a set through ok injection get them to pop test the new ones so that you know what they are. Kamloops also tested my old and new for free and tore apart an old one to show me what...

    Cavitation fears - any way to know if cavitation exists with block out of truck?

    I think I paid 60 bucks for the pressure test and $1000 for sleeves and sleeving. Use the melling hardened sleeves as they will last longer.

    Cavitation fears - any way to know if cavitation exists with block out of truck?

    The best way would be to pull it down to the bare block and have a diesel machine shop pressure test the block. Then if it leaks have it sleeved on all 8 holes.

    Hydroboost pushrod interest

    For the brake pedal issue I just drilled new holes lower on the booster bracket for the studs to position the booster lower on the firewall and put the studs in the new holes for the 250 pedal to work.

    Lifter knock

    A bad lifter in these engines will make quite a knock as the lifter has a bit of room to go before being collapsed. To make sure the bottom end isn't the culprit you could plastiguage the crank journals to rule that out. Also two gallons of coolant sounds a bit much my truck usually takes 1/2 to...

    Lifter knock

    They should be stiff enough that you have to use a vice and a socket to compress them as they stay pumped up for a long time. I have an old set out of my engine and after 5 months they are still hard. They are also quite cheap if any are bad replace all. I just put a cam and head studs in my...

    1983 FORD F350 CONVERTED INTO A KENWORTH

    My 2cents is that why would you pay to have a f350 converted with big rig cab etc, when you can buy an actual older big rig that is good to haul what ever you want for less. Besides id rather be driving a real big rig with huge power, and huge parts. Fuel mileage when loaded with a big trailer...

    still searching for my knock

    Could you post a video with the engine being revved up slowly, and with quick blips of the throttle. Doing that helps to determine if injector, or bottom end, or rod.

    TIcking

    My old 7.3 non turbo had the same tick. I figure its the ip like damac, as tick comes and goes. It also doesn't get any worse and goes away when revved hard or at higher rpms, so rod or bottom end must be out. My new full rebuilt 7.3 turbo also has that tick but quieter so it must be normal.

    overheated

    The water I think was boiling since the overflow had some good action going on in it, and came close to overflowing which is 1.5 liters over normal. The head gaskets will be getting replaced again in a few months for some studs so hopefully they hold up. Would overheating like that done anything...

    overheated

    When the engine light came on the water started pushing into the overflow but not out of it, and it stopped when I poured the water on the rad. I was also told that its not good to shut an engine off when its that hot, that it could cause hot seizure, scuffing, or cracking is that correct? I am...

    overheated

    I had driven for 20 minutes slowly and the temperature had climbed slowly from new cold to hot and the engine light came on. I fired it up cold in the morning at the campsite and there was no coolant smell in the smoke and no bubbles in rad.

    overheated

    I have a fresh rebuilt 7.3 turbo f250 that I took up a long rough mountain dirt road. I have found out the fan clutch is shot because it overheated idling around at 10-15 kph. When it overheated I was just getting to a lake so I dumped some water on the rad to cool it down, and I left it running...

    Rebuilt engine ques

    Well I just changed injectors and the shake is alot better but still there. The bb injectors are much better than the gs in the fact they are much more responsive. The engine is much more responsive with less throttle for the same fuel output. The engine sounds completely different as well. The...
