I have that IDIT manual, lots of good information in it. Anyone that owns and works on his own 7.3 non or turbo needs one.
I agree. What little skimming I did through it was good reading. The 7.3 manual seems to be about the engine and the truck. The 6.9 manual is for overhauling the engine. It's for both Ford and Internationals. There's pictures and descriptions for both.

I agree if you're doing your own work without the manual it's just guessing. There's a ebay guy has complete 3 volume sets of ford manuals on PDF for $10, I got one for my bricknose 91 and another set for '93 |(even tho they're largely the same) and again for the '06, and also came with the engine supplements. As I actually need a section I print the pages out and put them in a binder.

Do you have a link to the seller?

Wife got a chunk of something in a tire so had to push her into daily service for a few days until a tire comes in.

She could use a little more steam. I’ve never done any tuning at all. It’s always been get it running. Need to do some poking over the winter. Play with the timing a bit. Try retarding it. Need to see if I can find what to me sounds like an exhaust leak that has developed. I sure hope that’s what it is. Other possibilities are not as palatable.

She needs a cooling system upgrade and a couple other minor things too. Snows about to fly so she’s gonna do a lot of hibernating soon.
