Cdr won’t come out
I think on my 7.3 I used a small pry bar and GENTLY pried against the valve cover while slowly working it out. The trick is not to kill the grommet or knock anything else in there when it does give Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk- Mammoth73

Super Duty axle swap Questions
I'll look at the bracket, but as far as the gears go I commonly drive an 07 350 w/3.55s and an 05 350 w/ bigger tires 3.73s both with 6.0s and really like the 3.73s. Heck when she's running solid I'm pretty satisfied with the 3.55s just looking for a little more torque for towing and since I...- Mammoth73

Super Duty axle swap Questions
From what I've understood, didn't all the 350s come with 60s up front? I thought it was just the pre 04 250s and excursions to watch for. If nothing else I'll bring a pencil and paper to get the numbers and confirm before I do any pulling. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk- Mammoth73

Super Duty axle swap Questions
Ya that's why I'm debating on the two leaf sprung ones. I've abandoned the coil spring conversion for now. Coil springs started in 05.- Mammoth73

So I've found a 60 off an 04 w/3.73s for $400. Comes with springs and steering if I pull it. Dude says he's got one from an 01 350 as well. I really liked the idea of coil sprung up front but people out here are way too proud of their 60s. Couldn't find anything less than 600 for the worst ones...- Mammoth73

Filter light flashing and black smoke???
You definitely did. That kinda sucks cuz I just put the damn things in a couple months back. Didn't have them tested before hand but I got them off rock auto as "new" Delphis but IIRC they were stanadyne coded and was sure not to damage the tips. it's weird since the problem seems intermittent...- Mammoth73

Filter light flashing and black smoke???
I've got stainless braided AN from the tank I'm using up most of the way to the pump with all new fittings as well as cleaned/lubed all the connections when I did and just checked the soft ones and didn't see any kinks or potential obstructions. Guess I'll use the rest of that stainless braid...- Mammoth73

Filter light flashing and black smoke???
No gauges yet but I foresee a pyro sneaking it's way into the budget soon. By pump I did mean lift pump and yes there was virtually no smoke. The PO had the inj pump done just before I got it. Checked the filter, it's dirty but it's been way worse with nowhere near the smoke I have now no...- Mammoth73

Filter light flashing and black smoke???
'93 7.3idi turbo 260k I've been getting major power loss and black smoke lately. But the fuel filter light started flashing intermittently at idle... Replaced the filter and the light went away for a couple days with no real improvement in performance. But I'm getting excessive black smoke...- Mammoth73

Super Duty axle swap Questions
I might actually just end up saving those 1 tons for my half ton project so I could still use the tires. Which would be awesome, but still means I need 4 new tires and wheels... Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk- Mammoth73

Super Duty axle swap Questions
It's got 3.55s in her now, I was hoping to go 3.73 which is what the "new" rear is and look for that on the coil sprung one. That's a little disappointing on the wheels tho, I've only got 12k on my current tire and wheel setup and those duratracs ain't cheap. Also, would it make a...- Mammoth73

Super Duty axle swap Questions
Well that certainly makes it easier. I guess I'll start looking for a front out of an 05+ or a guess 13+ if I can find one cheap. At this point y'all think it's worth trying to utilize the rear off the 01 or would I be better off selling it and doing them from the same year? Sent from my...- Mammoth73

Super Duty axle swap Questions
I'm a little west of Austin but I got the 01 rear 10.5 with the 3.73s just because the tires on it are worth more than I paid for it. Looking into the coil swap, as well as what others have said about them and am seriously considering doing that down the road. Are y'all using kits to put yours...- Mammoth73

I'll probably also do the rsk with SD springs. Makes that part a little easier at least. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk- Mammoth73

Super Duty axle swap Questions
Well it turns out the front was a 50 plus it wasn't really in the budget anyway. Think I might just end up rebuilding the front with an auto locker and 3.73s. I've already replaced everything else on it plus then I avoid those unit bearings. Never done gearing before but I've always wanted...- Mammoth73
