    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...

    7.3 Block... What's it worth.

    Are any parts on the 6.9 interchangable with the 7.3? Starter, alternator, vaccum pump, ect.? I have found a 7.3 that has been stripped down to just the block, and internals. most of the "accessory" things have been stripped off. What do you guys think it's worth? Thanks for the help.
