    WMO TIMING AGAIN

    correct me if im wrong, but to advance the timing you move the IP towards the passenger direction. Right now I have my IP mark lined up with the mark on the plate. It seems that I loose power when runnin 50% WMO and I'm smoking heavy. Would I need to adjust the IP to the passenger side or...

    battery light flickers

    I'm also thinking its your plug on the alternator. Not the big plug, the small single wire plug closest to the passenger side. Mine flickered off and on for a year, thinking it was the alternator or weak batts. The plug appeard to be fine but the flickering continued. One day I had my son...

    Simple WVO collection pumping setup

    U can always try to have your supplier put your waste oil into 5gallon gas cans for you. Thats what i'm doing right now. I take them home where I pour them into a 300 gallon overhead tank. It is a little hard climbing a latter with a 5 gallon gas can though. From there it gravity flows...

    91 auto overdrive problem

    Shifting problems Have you tried changing out the temp sensor on your trans line. IF the fluid gets over 270 degrees or so it will open the circuit to the PCM, causing it to drop out of OD, to keep the trans from burning up. If you have figured the problem out, what was it?

    oil burner

    Fuel Heater I have a 93' Ford diesel and was wondering if anyone has found a way to activatge the fuel heater in the factory fuel filter heads regardless of the outside temperature? I know that they are supposed to come on around 40 degress but I think it would help with the higher WMO blends...

    E4OD shifting issues

    E4OD problems Its shifting into OD because my tac is running between 1900 to 2000 RPMs at 70mph and I'm pretty sure I have 3.54 gears.

    E4OD shifting issues

    I have a 93 F350 4X4 with the 7.3 diesel and I'm having shifting problems. If I start out with the shifter in the Drive position, it will take off in first gear and will rev to near 3 grand before it will shift into second. Once it goes into second I'm at a high enough speed that it goes right...

    WMO/WVO Fuel Line Prices OMFG

    I plan on using my 1993 Ford diesel 5spd that has a 6.9 out of a 1986 Ford. Then if things go well I'll run it in my 1994 Ford with a Cummins5.9 and my other 1992 with a 7.3. All 4wd crewcabs. My 93 has probably around 180K miles, good IP, injectors. I will use one tank for my blend and the...

    WMO/WVO Fuel Line Prices OMFG

    Im gathering my filters today for my prefilter duties in order to run my truck on WMO. Are you guys saying I need to replace my fuel lines to run on WMO? I know you need to change them for WVO, and I will eventually get to the point where I hope to run either/or, whatever I can get my hands on...

    OEM Fuel Heater

    The Ford Dealership acts dumber than a sack of rocks if you ask any questions and they are not collecting $70 and hour from you. At least that is my experience with them in my neck of the woods.

    I'm getting my second IDI... Need help

    And you dont think it may be something as simple as the TPS. I've had them do some crazy stuff before. Start out in second and converter kicks in and out

    New guy here looking to get a 7.3 have a few questions and into

    That is how I "financed" my Cummins conversion on my 94' Ford 4x4 Crew Cab. Ford5.9 (Ford Truck+Cummins 5.9 motor= Ford5.9). I actually came out ahead about $700 after I was done and still have spare parts coming out of my ears for my 92 and 93 4x4 CCs. GO FOR IT!!!!!!

    New guy here looking to get a 7.3 have a few questions and into

    That would be your easiest route to take. Plus you would have the nice driving characteristics of the Ford. I did the same thing to a 1981 Jeep CJ7. I pulled the body off and mounted it on a 1976 Chevy Blazer frame with a 350/turbo 350 combo......SWEEEEEEET!!!!!!

    New guy here looking to get a 7.3 have a few questions and into

    If the motor is junk, look at all the parts you could put on ebay or just in your local paper. IP-$150, Heads=$250, alternator $50. You could triple your initial investment. With just those 3 things you could make back almost half of the cost of the truck. I sold my ZF out of my truck for...

    I'm getting my second IDI... Need help

    Did you look into having a hotshot haul it and deliver it to your door? A friend of mine had his 32' Chevy shipped from Wyoming to Waco, Tx for around $850. Saved him alot of time and travel expense, and he did not have to worry about finding any bugs in the vehicle in route.

    wmo questions

    So, what is a CAT system. Yes, I''m the FNG. I've heard about running WMO and seemed too good to be true. What is the best oil to use: motor oil or trans, hydraulic, etc? I've started gathering parts for running WVO in one of my Ford IDIs, but heck, if motor oil will work and dont have to...

    7.3 wit factory turbo

    It may be regional on what sells better in certain areas. The guy was able to hear my motor run and was willing to pay $1500 for the motor. As far as 6.9s, they run anywhere from $900 to $1200 around here. What some people do around here is just buy a complete truck and use the parts they...

    7.3 wit factory turbo

    When I went with a Cummins for my 94 Ford I pulled my turbo diesel out and sold it pretty easy for $1500, and it had 210K miles and a not so good turbo. The guy did not even want the turbo, he already had his. It all depends on finding that right person that is in need of one. It also helped...
