Knoxville Tn-cracked #2 Injector Line
Driving from Oklahoma to Eastern NC. Started smelling diesel and pulled over. #2 injector pressurized spray out of the top of the injector line cap with a miss. Idles rough but drives on the freeway fine. I haven’t been able to see the crack but it was 2:00AM. Anybody have a local source on a...- MPatty

Bucking on Deceleration
Haven't been able to tell anything while revving in neutral. I do have an E-Fuel setup with a pressure regulator right before the Injection pump. With the E-fuel, air intrusion shouldn't be as much of an issue but I guess the pressure regulator could be not keeping up like its supposed to...- MPatty

Bucking on Deceleration
Bucking on deceleration: when decelerating between 2000 rpm to 1500 the truck will start to buck. It seems very similar to a u-joint, but all three rear u joints have recently been replaced and are tight. Accelerating through the range it is not noticed and deceleration in any other RPM range...- MPatty

The BOT Rebuild
On the interior I pulled the carpet, put dynomat on the floor and walls and put a vinyl flooring in. On reassembly I opted to pull the front clip and put the transmission and engine back in assembled....I won't make that mistake again. With the turbo mounted and the transmission on it was...- MPatty

The BOT Rebuild
I bought this truck a few years ago. It's a 1993 F250 with a NA motor and 093 Turbo, ZF5. After driving for a few years I noticed a coolant leak at the back of the drivers side head...no signs of coolant/oil mixing just leaking. I decided that I was going to rebuild and as most projects go it...- MPatty

Lifter Brand?
I am in the middle of a complete overhaul on my 7.3. The motor has about 210K on it and I am replacing the valve springs with Comp 910's. With this in mind I am leaning towards putting all new lifters in. Are there manufactures that are recommended or any that have seen premature failures?- MPatty

Need Suggestions/Advice on Rebuild
I bought my truck (a 1993 F250 IDIT with a ZF5 Transmission) last year. The truck has been repainted and has obviously had the engine out at some point to paint the firewall. The Vin on the truck is M (which if not mistaken is a N/A truck) but has a factory turbo on the truck. When I bought...- MPatty

Battery light
Well...super easy fix...went to pull the plug on the alternator to check the regulator. I found the yellow wire had come unplugged from the spade and was just sitting on top and appeared to be plugged in until pulled on. Plugged it back up and works great. I hate having stupid mistakes but...- MPatty
