Burn at yellow wires of big connector.
I measured the amperage going into the glowplug controller and found it pulled over 260a then started tapering down. It was enough to pop a 250a breaker consistently so I had to switch out to a 300a breaker.- Philip1

will a 6.0 Diesel ZF750 6 Speed 4WD fit a 6.9 idi
From what I understand the 6.9, 7.3 and 7.3 powerstroke used the same bellhousing but the 6.0 is different. Also the zf6 is not directly compatible with a zf5 (or other older transmissions) due to different bellhousing depths.- Philip1

If you find the threads damaged, a helicoil works well to repair it- Philip1

Pre Lubing a rebuild
Pull glowplugs first so you aren't building compression then crank until you get oil pressure. That way you are spinning the engine faster and putting less load onto the bearings.- Philip1

6.2 Turbo - dead accelerator pedal
It sounds like the ip is gummed up internally causing it to stick at no/low throttle. Might try a hot treatment in the fuel system to clean it- Philip1

BILLOWING white smoke
When you shut the truck off, the oil pressure drops to 0 but the coolant is still pressurized which can allow coolant into the oil.- Philip1

7.5L to 6.9L IDI swap
You can either use the sump kit or use the factory pick up lines in the top of the tank. You will have to modify the pickup tubes to be longer along with the arm for the fuel sending unit so it will read correctly. Wes at classicdieseldesigns at least used to sell (I don't know if he still does)...- Philip1

Headlight / dimmer switch keeps popping fuse..
One thing you could do instead of constantly replacing fuses is to put a light in the fuse slot instead. If the short is still grounding the light will stay on, of the short is removed from ground the light will go out.- Philip1

Motor rebuild
I forget the power numbers but from what I understand, a 110cc ip is the max for an na engine and anything bigger would benefit from the stronger internals although for longevity sake stronger is always better- Philip1

Cannot have a single good day
When I wired the glowplug relay supply on my truck, I first used 6 gauge battery cable straight from the battery and a 250amp breaker and it worked good in warm weather however once it got cold, it would pop the breaker every cycle. After that I replaced it with a 300amp breaker and haven't had...- Philip1

Motor rebuild
The biggest advantage of the turbo block engine is the larger wrist pin and stronger connecting rods. However this advantage is only truly experienced once you start going for big power- Philip1
