    1992 f250 4x4

    Has the 7.3 idi with banks sidewinder. 218,000 and runs great. Just put $3000 into e4od, replaced it with one for towing with HD converter and cooler. Recently did proper SCA coolant flush, oil change, replaced glow plugs, power steering pump, radiator cap, and installed manual switch. Ext cab...

    Rear ABS and No Blinkers

    Today my blinkers went out and Rear ABS light won’t turn off. Also seemed like my torqu converter was acting up. I replaced flasher and it didn’t fix anything. No blown fuses, all lights work. Ideas?

    New Bucket Seats

    I have a 92 ext. cab. I am in desperate need of bucket seats. My bench seat is awful, talk about back pain! Where is a good place to look. I live in the middle of nowhere, so no junkyards, and craigslist never seems to have them. Any ideas?

    7.3 Glow Plug Time

    I installed a manual relay on my 92. How long should run the plugs for? I usually cycle them twice for 12 seconds at about 40 degrees. How many cycles is safe, in really cold weather.

    Power Steering Pump

    I need to replace the power steering pump on my 92 7.3. On NAPA there are two pumps. The only difference between them are the threads. One says metric and the other says standard. What threads are they referring to, and which do I need?

    7.3 IDI Turbo Tune-Up

    I have an EGT and boost gauge, with plans to add a tranny temp guage. Mine has decent power, and doesn’t smoke at all. I might turn the pump up a little, just for fun.

    7.3 IDI Turbo Tune-Up

    I don’t know the mileage on injectors or IP. They were supposedly replaced two owners ago.... Previous owner repalced glow plugs, and with the manual relay I installed, I know they’re still good. :Thumbs UpIt probably doesn’t NEED a “tune up” yet, but when I leave for school I want to make sure...

    Engine oil for 7.3 idi?

    I run Delo 400. I only drink a quart every 2-3000 miles. Has anyone tried Rislone Ring Seal in their rigs?

    7.3 IDI Turbo Tune-Up

    As much as I’d love to avoid it, my pickup is ready for a tune up. What injectors, ip, and glow plugs would you guys recommend? Anything else I should replace? (My CDR looks new-ish). I only drink/leak about a quart of oil every 2300 miles.

    Torque Converter Shifting in/out of lockup

    I recently had the transmission (e4od) rebuilt on my 1992. I had an upgraded torque converter installed too. My TC has been shifting in/out of lockup randomly. It will lock and unlock (every 2-3 seconds) for a couple minutes, then I won't have an issue for 10 minutes or so. I cleaned up where...

    Changing Coolant on 7.3 idi

    So.... I need to change my coolant. Long story short: I am no longer at a 50/50 mixture. I have the proper sca coolant I need. But, how do I completely drain ALL the coolant from my radiator, block, etc?
