Another lift pump lets me down.
Found this kit today. Looks like the best of both worlds. Lift pump will pull fuel through it when not in use. I can use it for priming the system after maintenance, and it will provide redundancy when the chinesium pump fails. Also provides a nice pre filter. This is the route I’m gonna go...- rsaltaresjr

Another lift pump lets me down.
That’s some useful info, thanks! I was looking at cdd’s e-fuel kit looks well made but, the price is out of my budget. He’s got some nice stuff but, I still work for a living. Good to know I can get away with a Holley red and no regulator.- rsaltaresjr

Yeah I have, that’s why I haven’t and don’t really want to go electric. None of the Ford dealerships around here have the original navistar pumps. Just curious if I am destined to just ride with a spare chinesium lift pump everywhere I go.- rsaltaresjr

Another lift pump lets me down.
I had my second lift pump fail in about as many years. I had 6.5 psi at the head during this mornings preflight, which is what this pump has always read since new. Pulling my trailer on the highway, I noticed my filter light pulsating on during high engine load. I Pulled over to check it out and...- rsaltaresjr

1993 F350 2wd uneven tire wear
Looks like the camber bushing is already maxed out for camber in. If you’re certain that the ball joints are still serviceable, then you will need a new camber bushing with a more aggressive negative angle. One other possibility is that the ttb pivot bushing is shot.- rsaltaresjr

Stick to the damn topic when posting
Can a pair of barely visible milling marks that are parallel to each other running alongside the radius of a steel fitting give a false indication of a crack using eddy current for NDI?- rsaltaresjr

Rear main seal leakage - should I use a stop leak? [1994 IDI w/ turbo]
For what it’s worth my 94 idit looked the same until I replaced my valve cover gaskets and turbo oil line seals.- rsaltaresjr

Wheel bearing grease type?
It’s expensive but, Mobil SHC-100 is hands down the best wheel bearing grease I’ve ever used. Mobil - SHC 100 Synthetic Aviation Grease, 4.4lb SHC100AVI4-4L https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004A6BL44/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_t0OoFbT9GX10S- rsaltaresjr

Anyone had this problem?
Check the drive shaft hanger bearing for excessive wear. If it has thrust play or is binding replace it. Also make for certain your hubs aren’t locked. Auto hubs that don’t disengage will also cause a high speed vibration. Doesn’t have to be both, could be just one that’s stuck locked. Can you...- rsaltaresjr

7.3IDIT sputter/loss of power from stop
100000mi service life so a little over 160000km. Does seem a bit premature. Advance the timing to see if the symptoms get better. If they do then yeah your ip is on its way out.- rsaltaresjr

Advance the timing. If the hesitation clears up then you just bought yourself a little time before replacing the injector pump. So far the symptoms you describe point to an ip on the way out.- rsaltaresjr

7.3 idi tac issue
My e4od intermittently goes into limp mode for no apparent reason. I used to have to pull over, shut the truck down and restart to get it shifting back to normal. Then I noticed it would go into limp mode when I toggled between the odometer and trip meter. If I kept pressing the button...- rsaltaresjr

1990 7.3 Fuel filters keep needing changed ever 20 miles
I personally have seen the damage water can inflict on injection systems, especially on common rail systems. The pleats on a standard duty filter are treated chemically to be hydrophobic or basically water repelling, usually with silicon. Dispersed water in fuel will form droplets on the pleats...- rsaltaresjr

This would only happen with water block filters, standard filters will absolutely pass water into the injectors.- rsaltaresjr
