    Looking to sell van. 92 Ambulance, 7.3 IDI NA I put the mileage at 150,000+. $4000

    I have used this for a couple of years now as a work vehicle. I bought it with 26,000 miles but I do believe it was 126,000. I have put on just over 25,000. Since getting the return lines straightened out and going to an electric fuel pump, I have just changed the oil and drive it. Put a new...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    so I guess my actual query was is it indicative of another problem? Is it blown? Is it something else?

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Thee function of the button is fine, turning od off and on. The light is not lite at all now. Was working when I got the van.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    After driving around for a couple hundred miles I can report that the new tach sensor and pinching off the return line on the filter head have made dramatic differences. Hopefully I can move on to other issues I want to address. Still going to pull the sending unit/pickup as I only have one tank...

    Electric fuel pump really needed 7.3 idi

    I might be lazy, most that know me say not....But take a look at the location of the pump on a van sometime....Then lay on your back in the dirt and take a face full of dirt and crap and probably diesel fuel to swap it out. For the price, I can buy a second e pump(and I will if I travel), and...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Replaced the tach sensor, the old one was reading in the millions of ohms. It is shifting better and different? Will have to drive it more to figure it out. Pinching off the return line to the filter head made a big difference. Never see negative pressures now. Cooked the small battery on the...

    Facet 40290 pressure issues

    Drove it for a couple of days and it is improved. Much higher pressure when cold. Still drops in the afternoon but not to zero. Still thinking it might be picking debris as the day goes on and reduces the flow. Pulling the pick up next.

    1993 7.3 IDI Belt Tensioner F4TZ6B209C

    It was from a 93 parts list but I will have to search for the number. It looked the same except for the shock. The modifications was the bolt that goes thru it was different. I used the original shoulder bolt even though it no longer worked like a shoulder bolt. If I had time I might have come...

    1993 7.3 IDI Belt Tensioner F4TZ6B209C

    I had to modify a non shock tensioner for my 92 IDI. Its been going almost a year. I still have the old shock and mount but could not find a way to get one or fix that one. It sheared of a little nub of cast pot metal that held it. Super strong spring so I didnt try to rig something up. I would...

    Facet 40290 pressure issues

    I also thought it might be pieces of the pickup plugging the fuel line. I cut a hole in the floor and accessed the fuel pickup and sending unit but have not pulled it out. I am sure it is original, 33 years old. I had decided that you cant push pressure if you cant pick it up. Pressure will...

    Facet 40290 pressure issues

    I just made the pinch off change to mine this morning. I saw 8+ at idle and 5 under a heavy load. Have not run it thru a day yet to see if it tails off. Will report back when I do.

    Facet 40290 pressure issues

    Engine running at idle in the morning I see about 5. Holds up well early in the day and runs about 3 under acceleration or loaded up a hill. Later in the day it looses pressure, I have not figured out why yet. Screen on pump shows no dirt, new filter just after the pump, and the original filter...

    Facet 40290 pressure issues

    It might lift 10 ft but maintain what pressure? Mine is unregulated and the maximum I see is 7 psi with negative lift.

    Facet 40290 pressure issues

    I thought I read somewhere that these pumps dont like to lift or suck, they push. I mounted mine down on the frame rail where the tank easily feeds it. I have struggled with consistency with pressures also. I measure mine where the schrader valve used to be. In the morning I have good pressure...

    Tachometer

    Found the rpm signal wire in the compartment behind the driver and tried to use my sounding unit to trace the wire into the cab and dash. Got it traced to behind the drivers seat in a monster loom and lost the signal from there. Does anyone know what wire from the trans control is tach and how...
