    7.3 IDI won't start...

    all fuses underhood look good. My multimeter is on the fritz so I can't test it that way. I'll hook a test light to it....

Has manual glow plugs. IP doesn't click if i remove the little top terminal like it used to... no blown fuses. Am...

    Prosport gauges?

    Anyone have any experience with prosport gauges?? I like the LED lighting and the auto self calibration the gauges go through. I also really like the autometer Nexus series that have the whole gauge flash red when a set warning point is reached (i.e. 1,250* or 15lbs boost or 210* etc). BUT to...

    Fixing front crank seal?

    so i don't need to take apart the front end?? Jusr shroud and unbolt the fan? Is there an easy way to remove the clutch and fan as a whole? Last time i tried the special wrench spun the pulley with the belt on... does the dampner just slide off then i just pop out the seal?? While i'm in there...

    Fixing front crank seal?

    Is that a typical leaking point? I can look up and it looks like it is starting from where the vibration dampner is mounted. Is the job really difficult overall if i leave on the front cover?? I need a new bumper so taking the old one off eventually is going to happen. To replace the crank seal...

    Fixing front crank seal?

    I just have filled the oil up 2 qts because of a loud ticking noise it makes when the oil gets low about 2 weeks ago or so. I just today had the noise come back and ended up having to fill up the oil up about a gallon. I waited 10 min on level ground for all the oil to return. I leak about a...

    No wastegate..turned up fuel...

    Well I was tired of being so slow on hills so today I turned the pump up 4 turns on the allen wrench screw, and disconnected the wastegate just to see 'what she would do.' Just wondering... WOW. Smoked pitch black smoke the didn't clear up with boost and she hauled big time... Part throttle the...

    inst. panel LED warning.

    I should have specified...i may do the leds for the warning lamps, not ones that dim. The illumination will be the bulbs. I just can't see the darn wrning lights when they come on, which usually isn't too often... good thing. But since the dinger doesn't come on when something is wrong, it is...

    Loud tick and odd intake noise

    I was going to work this morning and noticed a really obnoxious LOUD tick. Even when accelerating I could hear it over the diesel clatter... and when slowing down in gear, well, it was embarrasing to say the least...Checked all fluids, the oil ended up being a bit low, topped it off and the...

    inst. panel LED warning.

    Wow those are some expensive LEDS... i think i may stay with the ones i have... I'll see what i can do to wire them up w/o frying... I may buy one of those fancy ones and see if there is a big difference...but right now the truck has bigger issues... Curious how the LEDS i have now will fare...
