    Black Ice sucks....

    Thanks! I was pretty lucky, didn't get hurt and didn't hurt anyone else. Just a lil sad to see the ole truck tore up... I will keep looking closer to home for those things, but if I can't find anything I will be sure to let you know.

    Current Draw

    Since last weekend there has been something drawing on my batteries and if it sits for about 5 hours the batteries die. This led me to believe that when the glow plug harness was installed we boogered something up, looked there first. Completely unhooked both ends of the harness and the draw was...

    GLow Plugs

    I purchased new glow plugs today and was wondering if anyone had used champion glow plugs from Napa and if there is anything I need to watch out for with them. Should I return them and get something else or will I be okay with these? Thanks guys!

    Hard Starting

    I tightened all the lines and here is it starting today http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwOUhCTAmbY It was 60 degrees out and plugged in more than 24 hours. I cycled the glow plugs for 15 seconds and gave it full throttle.

    Hard Starting

    just got back from a weekend at the farm... and things aren't looking any better with the old beast. I tightened all the fuel lines at the filter and none of my injectors look like they are leaking. Could my lift pump be bad? or is there some other things i could check first?

    Hard Starting

    I finally got the o-rings changed last night. I plugged it in last night, but i think it may/ should be unecessary to do so considering its 40 degrees out here. I hit the glow plugs once and cranked for about 4-5 seconds and it fired up. We will see how it does after sitting at the farm all...

    Hard Starting

    The white smoke happens with no ether. But it takes cranking for a while for it to start puffing. I am in process of changing the number 1 injector o ring tonight after work. i will let y'all know how it goes

    Hard Starting

    The fuel filter is new. Just put on the first of January, but the engine had been sitting for a while before I did the swap. The truck puffs white smoke out the tail pipe while cranking, then when it fires finally a good puff of black smoke, I assume that is the ether?

    Hard Starting

    Here goes. Since my engine swap I have not been able to figure out a hard starting issue with the 7.3. The glow plug controller is non-existent and has been replaced with a push button. The video (more of a sound clip) is of the truck attempting to start at about 20 degrees and it's been...
