1992 F250 XLT w/ATS 088 and Rough Country 4" lift... pinholed... CA. Trade?
I appreciate your sensitivity, but I'd rather move this truck than see it go to the wreckers. I came here instead of that other place for a reason :D- drinkypoo

This truck is going to wind up at the wreckers if someone doesn't speak up soon...- drinkypoo

1992 F250 XLT w/ATS 088 and Rough Country 4" lift... pinholed... CA. Trade?
Came out one morning some years ago, tried to start my truck and failed to turn it over. Checked my 7.3's oil and got coolant. I've been too busy to work on it and now I have no more time. Need to either sell or store. This is a great truck with tons of mods. No secrets, just a great truck that...- drinkypoo

Coolant out the GP hole
I didn't notice any coolant loss, but maybe it just started. Too bad, too. I've been using a precharged fleetguard coolant filter, changed ahead of schedule with my coolant. So far the cheapest parts truck I've found is $1500 and it has two leaky injectors and overheats. So not a great deal...- drinkypoo

Coolant out the GP hole
I was pretty sure that was going to be the answer. I thought about ripping the engine apart and said shucks, this is probably going to be a waste of time anyway- drinkypoo

Coolant out the GP hole
Went to do a compression test for no start, took all the glow plugs out, found out the cheap set doesn't fit the hole after all. Week later, I'd made myself an adapter with a grease gun whip and a 1/8 NPT to M10x1 sensor adapter. Checked voltage, turned the engine over one time to make sure...- drinkypoo

Yes, you really have to get the front bolt on that flange in order to get the down pipe off of the assembly, from what it looks like on the diagram anyway. Once you get that bad mother, the remainder will probably be relatively easy. ha ha.- drinkypoo

It's too bad nobody who actually owns an 093 has chipped in, I have to figure all this from the docs I've got The usual way to remove the turbo from what I've read is to use a 2x4 cut to length and hammer on it in the morning, hammer in the evening, etc. But if you manage to separate the up...- drinkypoo

where can't you get them apart? from the turbo, or the two pieces of the pipe from one another, etc? The down pipe should come out easily once unbolted, maybe with some wiggling. The up pipe is often frozen into the turbo pretty hard. They gave it a friction fit, too. Some people grind down...- drinkypoo

I don't remember what size my pedestal mount bolts were, but I had to pull the turbo off the pedestal first anyway because ATS 088 uses studs for turbo mounting. (I changed that...) Unless you mean turbo to pedestal, that IS weird. Probably GOOD though, because it will increase wrench clearance...- drinkypoo

Aha. Well, if you are lucky you will be able to separate the two-piece up pipe which is only present on the 093, and that will make pulling the turbo relatively easy. I personally spent good money (over twenty bucks) on a Kent-Moore J-26987 wrench. This is a nice little J-shaped 9/16 which...- drinkypoo

Which turbo? I had a GRAND old time removing my ATS 088. That one? The turbocharger has to get removed from the up pipe, or the up pipe has got to get removed down from the turbocharger. The turbo is removed from the pedestal with an appropriate 9/16 wrench, either before if it's coming up or...- drinkypoo

Anyone know where to get the IP to gear cover O-Ring? I bought an installation kit which comes with one but I don't want to have to do that again. I can make them with my loctite O-ring kit but that's a bother- drinkypoo
