Recently got a 1989 7.3 idi with the 093 turbo. The previous owner had recently replaced glow plugs and glow plug controller. Have since burned up 2 throttle cables in a matter of no time. Here is what I’m thinking and would appreciate any advice:
1989 didnt have a factory turbo. Need to wrap the throttle cable with some heat shield. The 89 cable is longer than the 93 turbo cable, so thinks that is the route m.
Need to eliminate the source of the heat. Suspect the glow plug system is more of the problem than the turbo. The glow plug controller is new but I don’t know what brand or if the harness is bad etc. thinking I just rip it all out and do CDD’s kit.
