    ALERT : '78 Bronco with '84 6.9 @ 100k Edgecomb, ME : low ask!

    Psssh... block heater. I tested her last week unplugged when it was -28 on the lowest morning. She was fine. :) Don't get me wrong though... I've been where you guys are and it's a whole other ball game. There really is something that happens around -30 and below that you don't feel when it's...

    ALERT : '78 Bronco with '84 6.9 @ 100k Edgecomb, ME : low ask!

    Glad to see this turned into a thermometer measuring contest... Any questions about the truck, I provided a link. Anyone who's interested in talking to this person directly about his mods can do so. I didn't really go into depth about his work with him. I valued it as such, because I see other...

    ALERT : '78 Bronco with '84 6.9 @ 100k Edgecomb, ME : low ask!

    I just chatted with this gentleman on facebook. His name is Michael. The ad caught my eye, because of the body year / engine claim. It said 6.9 diesel. Thats it... I thought it was some dope who didn't know what they had... So I asked him. Motor's out of a 1984 250. I was only curious about if...

    Sudden Electrical/IP issue...

    Well, that jump worked my friend! Thanks a bunch. You saved me hours of testing. Now, to build the cluster box for my dash...

    Sudden Electrical/IP issue...

    I'm leaning toward the GPC unit being completely fried... Fuel shutoff- no 12v and no WTS light. Of the two red wires runs under to the GPCs internals, and i wouldn't be surprised if the 1600 amps DC did a number on them... I'll go try that shutoff jumper... Honestly, I'm just going to...

    Sudden Electrical/IP issue...

    Another clue: when I went out just now I reconnected everything, and tried to trace all wires to a short/burnout spot.... Nothing. Also checked plugs near starter solenoid... all good. Buuuut... the WTS light doesn't even come on now when the key goes to run/start pos. I think maybe the...

    Sudden Electrical/IP issue...

    Ok. I have to get to the store to get diesel for my truck AND the furnace, since we ran out while I was at work today and the oil guy cant come til monday. First, the setup: Stock everything (7.3T) except the Carter elec. pump on my frame rail, run off a relay that gets it's close 12v from...

    Post injector swap issue...

    ^^^^ Pretty good use for one of my old G codes that no one wants. Haha.

    Post injector swap issue...

    My motor mounts are probably pretty suspect as well, if the rest of the truck is any indicator. What I wouldn't give for unsalted roads............... :mad:

    Post injector swap issue...

    Seller said pop tested, and BB is clearly stamped on all 8... Plus, not like I can mix em with my old G's that were running like crap. Haha. That reminds me... Who's in the market for a rough looking set of G-codes for core? :D

    Post injector swap issue...

    I did notice a little more anti-seize showing around #5... And that was the dirtiest bore. Lots of crap built up behind the GPC mount...

    Post injector swap issue...

    (i should clarify that the "VERY noticeable difference in power" was a comment about increased power from the BBs despite the one cylinder issue)

    Post injector swap issue...

    Just put a set of reman BB's in my 94 IDI T. I have what seems to be VERY low compression on one of my cylinders. If I start her below 20F, it actually misses for the first 5 seconds or so, then starts to get ignition after some revs. The problem isn't very obvious while driving, and there is...
