    What do you like about you IDI?

    I don't like that the 7.3's cylinder walls are thin, however, even without taking care of the cooling system, they last a long time

    Super Hard start after repairs

    After I replaced my return lines and caps, it took a month or so before it would start-up without turning over several seconds. I think the new caps and o-rings take a little bit of running to seal good enough to prevent air from entering the system? give it a few days..maybe a week. They will...

    Valley Pan grommet....

    I would say someone tried to make something work. The grommet that comes with replacement gasket sets, will not fit our 93-94 IDI factory turbo pedestal. Nebraska is showing the correct grommet. You have to buy it seperatly from ATS or someone ( body armor??).

    turbo pedistal drain to intake gasket no longer avalible

    The kit I recieved from ATS has the correct gromment !!!!!!!! The gromment in the Fel-Pro gasket set is NOT the correct gromment for the factory waste-gated turbo.

    turbo pedistal drain to intake gasket no longer avalible

    The newer factory installed turbo with wastegate, it is smaller than the supplied intake gromment from fel-pro. The older add on non-waste-gated turbo has a bigger drain tube and fits the factory size crd gromment. This is what I have determined from ATS. ATS has a kit for both.

    turbo pedistal drain to intake gasket no longer avalible

    That was the other question..I plan on buying a new fel-pro intake valley pan. I was going to call them to see if it included the grommet. Thanks guys. The previous owner run the truck hot and cracked the passanger side head in 2 places around the intake valve. Used head is on the way. Next...

    Weird Starting?

    I'm having hard starting when hot issues also. It was bad enough to where I would give it a shot of WD-40 to start it. Brand new starter, batteries, and even heavy duty jumper cables and no start. It helped to let it idle for a few seconds be fore shutting it off.
