    Moose or CCD injection pump?

    Wes is more 'send in yours, and I'll rebuild it', if not mistaken. I think I want to keep my pump, and injectors; I think they might be, to probably okay. But My problem I think is a very slow air intrusion; once the

    Moose or CCD injection pump?

    I'm in the market as well. Reached out to CCD, R&D, and Moose Diesel/Conestoga. CCD never responded through their website, nor on here from an IM I sent Wes. Suzi from Moose is on board, and immediately responded about my inquiry; I haven't ordered yet, as I wanted to make sure it was still...

    Overview/tips on the servicing of air intake, valley pan, and valve covers - 7.3 IDIT

    I know there are numerous opinions of what to do, and what to use. Anymore, I try to stick to motorcraft for the engine. My truck(avatar) was recently crushed by a 6000 pound hemlock in a windstorm. It missed me by 2 seconds, but landed across the hood. Between having the truck towed, and...

    Manual glow plug wiring help?

    Disclosure, it's been a while since I've messed with my glow plugs.... However you wire it, just remember to complete the circuit; it's always a loop, and a switch is simply a break in that loop(whether +, or -); if that helps at all.

    Rebuild, Power Stroke or Cummins?

    Man, I'd like to see a write up on your centrifuge setup. Justin/R&D has I think an entire IDI rebuild series on Youtube. As far as his plenum stuff, it looks decent, and I liked the idea of ceramic coatings on them which he offers for heat retention. I wrapped my crossover pipes, and uppipe...

    Cleaning out some spare IDI parts

    I bought a 93' shuttle bus; got any kits for an E350?

    What do y’all pull with your truck?

    I haul whatever, got a 40' 5th wheel(way too heavy for the truck), and a couple goosenecks that I usually load heavy. The one thing I don't do, is haul fast, lol. But for a truck that I've got less than $6,000 into between cost, and improvements, I can't ask for much more.

    Diesel rookie, feeling a little overwhelmed

    Another couple easy mods are running a grounded wire through a switch for the option of manual glow plugs(it can be nice), and also a headlight relay to save your dash from any possible overload issues; the switches burn up due to being overloaded.

    Think it’s worth it

    Heck yeah, it's worth it. The banks almost does it alone. I just pulled the trigger on the IDI shuttle bus in Spokane.

    is this a good deal?

    Yes'sir, was reading up on it this afternoon. I guess none of the E series had tachs, but an OBS F series instrument cluster, should fit the OBS E with a couple wire alterations from what I've read. I don't think I'm too worried about having the tach to look at though. It puffed whitish...

    is this a good deal?

    Okay, so I think it's done bought. It was around 30 degrees, and cold started okay; may just need a stronger battery. The Radius arm is cracked, but it's a hairline; that I should be able to weld back easy enough; that or flex seal it... The brakes are good, there is one rotor that will...

    is this a good deal?

    Okay, I appreciate the replies. I was adding up the parts, and it seems good. I'm really curious to see if the guy tomorrow, is aware of any history.

    is this a good deal?

    Hi All, I'm going to look at this in the AM ---->>> https://spokane.craigslist.org/cto/d/spokane-bus-93-ford-350-diesel-73-engine/6799238953.html I don't think there's too much history, short of it being abused, or rusted out, it seems like a good deal; any thoughts? Appreciated in advance.
