    Type of Pressure plate?

    Gentlemen, Thank you for your input and knowledge. I'll go look up information from the late TowCat put a plan together and get this slipping fixed. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge.

    Type of Pressure plate?

    Thank you for the input. I don"t have any experience with a DMF. It never slipped with a heavy load, but it would intermittently slip without a load at higher RPM's going uphill. From what you said about the DMF, I think I may have one.

    Troubleshooting - PS pump or steering box

    My mistake for not reading completely. I see you already replaced the Box, sorry. You should be able to remove one end pressure hose and turn the pump by hand. If fluid pumps out, your pump should be good.

    Troubleshooting - PS pump or steering box

    I concur, I had the same issue. Replace the steering box and all worked well. The good news is that Ford Truck used the same Steering Box from 1985 thru 1996 (Maybe longer) and Pick-n-Pull have several at a much lower price. I found one with the engine and front clip removed. That made the job...

    Type of Pressure plate?

    Hello to all of you great IDI owners. Well it's time to replace my slipping Clutch. I have a 1993 7.3 factory turbo with a 5 speed transmission. Besides pulling the transmission and looking, is there a way to know if there is a Dual Mass or Solid Flywheel? With that being said, I understand...

    Bolt in seat options

    I've been following this thread and I would like clarification on the Floor Pan. Is it an actual piece of metal that bolts to the floor? Meaning a bench seat and the 40-20-40 seat have different floor pans that bolt in? Thank you.

    Truck engine dies on de-Acceleration

    All is good! Installed a new fuel filter (with ATF) ran it for about 5 minutes, let sit 24 hours. Drove it like I stole it and it responded like I did. No more dying on de-acceration. Thanks to all the great folks out there in Oil Burner land.

    7.3 IDI & Power Stroke Engine Block question

    Thanks to all who answered. That settles it, I'm going to get the transmission fixed and make some money off the truck.

    7.3 IDI & Power Stroke Engine Block question

    Perhaps I didn't ask the question correctly . . . Can I take the IDI Heads and Manual injector pump and install them on a Power Stroke Long Block? Are the Bolt Patterns and timing gear the same? I know this one year (93.5 to 94.5) of the IDI 7.3 with factory turbo had (I believe) the rods and...

    7.3 IDI & Power Stroke Engine Block question

    Well, I guess that answers my question. Thank you. I guess I'll get the Transmission fixed . . . it'll be worth more. :-)

    Truck engine dies on de-Acceleration

    Living in Alaska for 26 years I learned the value of "HEET" (the red bottle) to keep water out. When I bought the truck the first thing I did was was add some HEET and Diesel Kleen to both tanks to help remove water and any algae. I'm sure it helped, but my fault for not changing the fuel...

    7.3 IDI & Power Stroke Engine Block question

    Just wondering . . . I have a 1996 7.3 Power Stroke with an after market engine pushing close to 500 hp (although some have said 600), but I've digressed. The truck is in fair shape, the tranny is toast. (Read Parts truck). I also have the Holy Grail of 7.3 IDI's . . . a 1993 and a 1/2, 7.3 IDI...

    Truck engine dies on de-Acceleration

    An update . . . The correct filter wasn't available locally, but Amazon will have it here on or before Friday. BTW the truck had been sitting for quite a while before I bought it. I took the old filter off today and there was water & rust in the filter. Not good!

    Truck engine dies on de-Acceleration

    Thank you Scott, I always have Sea Foam on the shelf. Best stuff ever!

    Truck engine dies on de-Acceleration

    I'll pick up a new filter today and try it. Just for clarification, I fill the filter all the way with ATF and the truck will run on ATF? Will it harm the injectors? Would it be okay or better to mix the ATF with Sea-Foam? Thank you "all" for your help in this matter.
