    Injection pump rebuild

    I have bought a lot of stuff from the US and know that couriers like to **** you for brokerage. A few options for you: 1. ship to a border mailbox and retrieve it yourself 2. Have it shipped by courier but specify that you wish to do your own brokerage. UPS (for example) will require you to...

    Lift pump pressure ???

    I switched an an electric pump (Walbro) and found that it cycled a lot (pulse rate seemed high). I found that the filter head vent (return line) was bypassing a lot of fuel so I pinched it. You can greatly reduce the fuel flow though the return line, theoretically increasing your supply...

    How bad is the HG job on a 7.3 IDI?

    I used the rolox white (2 inch, 120 grit). New oil pan and mounts from Rockauto; my pan appeared pretty rusty so I changed it out.

    How bad is the HG job on a 7.3 IDI?

    I did the HG's on my truck last summer. Big job but very rewarding. A list of comments to confirm / reiterate what may have already been stated. 1. Do head studs. To save money I used Xotic performance studs (way less $ than ARP). Very happy with them. 2. Make sure you rebuild the oil...

    Got a strange problem with my starter

    If you are replacing the starter consider getting the upgrade Powermaster 9050. This is a huge upgrade, especially over the crappy rebuilds you get with OEM style.

    Has anyone used a circuit tracer?

    Check out a 'tone tracer'... Amazon has a Klein tools VDV500-705 for less than $100. I use mine mostly on house wiring but it works perfect for anything. You do need to be mindful to not attach it to a hot (110V) wire. I just used it to help trace a wiring problem at my sons house; he...

    Walbro FRB-13-2 6-8 psi 43 gph

    I am still running my Walbro... still have not had to service it. From the first page of this discussion, I have been running it since 2019! And, I do recommend restricting or blocking the return from the top of the filter. I replaced mine with a bleed valve for filter changes. Definitely...

    Advice on pulling and sealing engine, tranny leak

    Well I think it is finally time I pulled my 7.3. My oil pan is rusty as hell and needs to be changed. The final straw though is a transmission leak; I don't know where the leak is but I suspect the pump seal, gasket, or torque converter. My question is specific to servicing the transmission...

    Another Pop tester build

    Nice build! I made one also but I have a metal lathe and was able to manufacture a plug for the jack (rather than weld or JB). https://www.oilburners.net/threads/just-another-homemade-pop-tester.75884/

    Hollow exhaust sound

    Mine makes a funny "hollow" sound when first started - once the oil pressure comes up it sounds normal. Low oil pressure? Lifter?

    Wheel alignment on a dually, how is it done in the USA?

    No. Easier to cut a 16 1/2 inch wood spacer to span the rim.

    Good replacement for Holley Black Pump?

    Try reducing the bypass at the top of the fuel filter. That pump has lots of cap - most of the fuel is vented back to the tank. You can test this by pinching the return hose (at the filter) and the walbro will slow down almost to a stop.
