    Plastic return line cap melted? How to prevent in the future.

    The cap ID is the same, the rubber hose between the caps is different early to late. The early caps have the hose barb centered on the cap, on the late ones they are offset. Since the R&D rails are one piece, they will work on 6.9 and 7.3.

    Plastic return line cap melted? How to prevent in the future.

    They’re not all the same. The 6.9 and some early 7.3 caps used 3/16 in hose, the later 7.3 caps used 1/4 in hose.

    What is this?

    What you are experiencing is fuel drain back. There are seals in the hard lines into the filter head and from the filter to the IP. After that, your return lines may need to be replaced.

    In over my head

    The only thing that would require engine removal is the oil pan reseal. From the factory, these engines used rtv to seal the oil pan. If you use a gasket, it will leak. Check to see if your leaks are coming from the top of the engine before you think about re-sealing the pan.

    Anyone rebuild first gen psd injectors or just go new/reman

    How bad... is this trans leak.

    I would start with the input shaft seal. It's a common leak point, usually shows up when the trans is warm.

    Failed Emissions

    A 1994 (technically a 1994.5) powerstroke will have an EEC (or PCM), but not an IDI.

    Conestoga Diesel (in PA) = Moose Diesel (in SC)?

    I don't blame the oil companies, businesses exist to make a profit. I blame the politicians that make policies that reduce supply, thus pushing prices higher.
