Drain plugs
Anyone know what size of Fumoto drain valves will replace the engine drain plugs on the 7.3 IDI or has the 1/4" NPT type valves worked out ok as far as leaks from engine vibration etc? Time to re and re the coolant and replace the drain plugs so this job isn't so messy. Thanks- BrianC

4X4 Manual hubs or automatic?
Bought my '91 new in July '91. It still has the original manual locking hubs, never been looked at. Have had no problems with them ever. Love the 2WD LO feature. Had autos once and only once, never again.- BrianC

This pump is rated from 9-11.5 PSI. Is this too much fuel pressure if I want to install in lieu of mechanical pump (7 psi)? Thanks Brian- BrianC

Highest mileage IDI
I am like you. My '91 has 85,000 km ( 53000 miles). I replaced the DMF 5 years ago for LUK clutch, new starter 3 yrs ago, new vacuum pump, an odd glow plug or two, regular coolant changes with JD Cool Gard premixed, new hoses and belts but the engine has never been touched. I guess I have long...- BrianC
