Heater core out again
They leak coolant all over the carpet on the passenger side. And the windshield proceeds to get covered in steam. Its a new radiator cap with a new radiator. The cap is 13 psi right? Or maybe 7. I’ll take a look. Thanks for the comments everyone. And I am running good coolant. No tap water.- Cole Roberts

Heater core out again
I have looked for some threads on this but couldn’t find any. I have an 89 7.3. About 5 years ago my factory heater core went out. I have since replaced it with at least 3 other aftermarket heater cores. Every 18 months or so they seem to go out again. Does anyone know of a solution or the right...- Cole Roberts

7.3 IDI w/ banks turbo overheating
It is not loud in the mornings. And I haven’t checked the resistance when hot vs cold. I liked the thread that 79jasper posted about adjusting the bend in the coil to try and get it to click on sooner. I will most likely try that in the near future. Hopefully after I fix my oil and fuel leaks. I...- Cole Roberts

7.3 IDI w/ banks turbo overheating
Just in case anyone is curious or anyone else reads this thread; I ended up pulling the radiator to get it boiled and pressure tested and they told me at the radiator shop that the radiator was no good. So I bought a new copper radiator and figured I might as well do a water pump whilst I’m in...- Cole Roberts

7.3 IDI w/ banks turbo overheating
Update for you guys, I replaced my fan clutch with a Napa one like stated earlier, I still don’t hear the fan on cold start nor when it gets hot. I got it up to about 240 towing heavy the other day and it didn’t click on. I replaced it with a Hayden fan clutch today but it still didn’t turn on...- Cole Roberts

7.3 IDI w/ banks turbo overheating
What fan clutch would you guys recommend running? I’m thinking about replacing this Napa one since I haven’t heard it turn on at all. I was towing on the freeway yesterday and the truck climbed to about 215 degrees and I still didn’t hear the fan.- Cole Roberts

7.3 IDI w/ banks turbo overheating
I did not hear the fan on cold start nor while running it on the freeway. I only have a downpipe for exhaust currently so I figured maybe I didn’t hear it I was concerned I couldn’t hear it, but I towed about 5,000 on the freeway for 30 miles and it stayed cool at 190. And before it was getting...- Cole Roberts

7.3 IDI w/ banks turbo overheating
Replaced the fan clutch, drove it ******* the freeway yesterday, no load, but it was a hot day and it stayed nice and cool. About 190 degrees I’ll hopefully pull a trailer today and really put it to the test. Thanks for all your help!- Cole Roberts

7.3 IDI w/ banks turbo overheating
Thanks for your replies fellas. I will check tomorrow for oily dirt on the spring. I would be okay with buying a new one. Any recommendations on what brand of one to buy? I hear some people have had troubles with the aftermarket ones they have bought.- Cole Roberts

7.3 IDI w/ banks turbo overheating
First post, looking for some help. I have an 89 F250 with a 7.3. I recently added a banks turbo on it. While I was doing the turbo I also replaced the thermostat (with a motorcraft thermostat) And did a radiator flush. For the first two weeks the truck ran good and cold with no issues.
