    Trailer running lights not working??

    Over the past year I've had my left and right turning and power lines fail on my hitch in rapid succession. I just ran new wires and spliced from the back lights.

    Just a warning about wmo & colder weather

    When I experimented with wmo/atf a few years back I found that my gpo's needed replacing at least 2x a year.

    Did not expect an electric fuel pump to be such an improvement!

    I had trouble maintaining reliable psi with 5's and 13's i changed over to FASS 14psi pumps and never looked back.

    what kind of deals you got worked out for your WMO?

    A few years back before I converted to WVO I experimented extensively with WMO and acquiring it. Most mechanics have to pay to dispose of the oils - if you present yourself as trusty worthy person they will most likely agree to give it to you. I found that ATF was the prize - it burns much...

    Sorry I missed your post till now, I could've eased your pain earlier :) Yeah the theft thingie got me the first time too! LOL p.s. the mileage gauge in the center top console lies, you should do your calculations by hand, they tend to differ a great deal from what the truck says...

    Thinking about a WMO set up.

    Howdy, I don't know how well a bubbler will work through used motor oil, it tends to be more viscous than waste vegetable oil. The maximum psi for a steel drum is about 10 psi - they can and do bulge as well - it is reported to be a dangerous proposition. You're probably better off using a...

    PSD question-asking here because theres not much traffic in the PSD forum......

    The donor vehicle is a 1st gen PSD, the recipient is a 2nd Gen PSD - different animals in many respects. Did your friend replace the electronics as well?

    Hate my drivetrain. What's my best option?

    Let's keep in mind most of the folks on the thread are mostly 1st Gen PSD or IDI folks. The 7.3 X is a 2nd Gen PSD. The top of the fuel bowl indeed has an FPR, it's contained in the return outlet. You can replace the outlet housing with a more durable steel one from Bob's O-Rings they come...

    Incredible vehicle 1983 f-250 6.9l IDI

    The engine has good compression. 2 year old injectors, year old glow plugs, a 9.5 BTDC tuned IP, 13psi Walbro fuel pump, 1 year old starter and two Optima gel 1,000ca batteries that are 2 years old. Probably less than 1k in upgrades. If you're having cold start issues, these are the things to...

    Incredible vehicle 1983 f-250 6.9l IDI

    No matter what she starts on a dime. -20f? Hasn't been started in 6 months? First compression stroke. Damn I love my IDI. I don't take it out much these days, just sits in the yard under the pine tree...but I'll be damned if it's not the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned - we'll forget...
