    F350 steering box upgrade

    Yeah brake feel consistent every time. Pedal feels linear. Usually get three good power stops with gas reservoir after engine off. Drove a friends newer f250 with vacuum boost recently. Felt mushy and inconsistent. Don't think will ever have another rig without it

    Low smoke level from hot injection pumps?

    Been looking at the 110cc pumps available, but really hate seeing my fuel leave the truck through smoke Anybody ever able to make a very low smoke setup using high volume pumps? With a well designed fast spoiling intercooled turbo system, possible to get there?

    Newer injections pump going bad? Weird symptoms. Just creeping along

    Not super familiar with positions of it. Is the solenoid on/off only, or is there a middle range when malfunctioning where it'll reduce power?

    Newer injections pump going bad? Weird symptoms. Just creeping along

    I had a filter assembly out of a newer IDI truck and upgraded filter laying around forever. Just installed it because why the hell not. Helps isolate the problem Going to fill tanks and recheck tomorrow. Cycle the tank switch. Check the fuel supply when it's in 5mph mode Leaning toward the...

    Newer injections pump going bad? Weird symptoms. Just creeping along

    Yeah linkage is good. Fuel supply to IP is very good. No smoke at any point. Couldn't imagine timing being off and the engine running well otherwise. Truck runs perfect for 5 mins then power slowly starts going down. Acts like it's starving for fuel. Even at 15 minutes it only dies when letting...

    Newer injections pump going bad? Weird symptoms. Just creeping along

    Injection pump has 30k miles on it. Truck starts fast and drives well at first. A little lower powered than normal After 5 minutes of driving power is way down. After 15 minutes I'm just crawling along and truck dies at stoplight! Power drop is linear. No surging. 5mph top speed. Restarts fine...

    Solid rear brake line.

    When I first started doing brake lines I left the nut off about 25% of the time After 20 years I'm down to 10%

    Solid rear brake line.

    I've learned to make bends around my thumb and half inch ratchet extensions. Just have to pull the line firmly away from the bend as you're making it (stops the kinks) Same way a mandrel exhaust bender works. Pull then bend. The softer line compounds bend super easy

    My '93 F-250 IDI Overhaul Thread

    Heard it from others that the thinner walls of the of the 7.3 allowed micro flexing that created cavitation, and cavitation wasn't an issue in these engines until the displacement was bumped up. Along with that, was told coolant additive was developed specifically for the 7.3 motor and the 6.9...

    Rebuilt 89 7.3 will not idle or go over 2100 rpm

    Unless the timing is way off, it should still start and idle fine. I can move the IP back and forth a couple dimes and the average person would never notice the difference in sound and performance I'm guessing this is the first time the R&D IP has been installed? Timing does fluctuate from pump...

    What's up with the censoring

    Honestly it's a bit refreshing. People around here would rather flame each all day more than just talk about smokey old broke diesels. The vulgarity was getting a bit much.. /s

    Solid rear brake line.

    Lmc truck and classic industries are awesome for finding that obscure stuff. They actually sell formed hard lines, which is rare Found these https://www.sstubes.com/products/tra9641om-87-97-ford-f-250-350-non-dually-with-3-rear-brake-shoes-rear-axle-brake-lines-steel Gotta check if you have...

    Thought maybe the sleeves could be thicker than the original walls

    Better than I thought it'd be! Seems like such a crazy process
