    Brake issue after pulling engine

    All right guys i think i finally figured this one out. When i pulled the engine i broke one of the ports on the vacuum manifold and sealed it with jb weld. When i moved the hose that originally went there to a different port i didn't realize that the new port had a smaller hole, this didn't...

    Brake issue after pulling engine

    Happening tomorrow Yes brakes worked perfectly before (even with the old leaky booster). The only thing that "changed" was I cracked one of the ports on the vac manifold, covered it with JB weld and repositioned the hose on one of the unused ports. Perhaps my jb weld fix was no good and it's...

    Brake issue after pulling engine

    Unfortunately this did not solve my brake issue. The booster did need replacing though. The old one was pretty corroded and had an old leak. The hissing sound at the pedal stopped but the symptoms persist. Symptom - (all within a 10 second period) 1st brake press works great, truck reacts...

    Brake issue after pulling engine

    I think my issue is directly related to the brake booster which I'm getting today. I will report back and let you guys know if that solved it

    Brake issue after pulling engine

    I think you guys are right about a vac leak. I replaced one hose that was there before the engine pull but that hose leads to 2 ends that are no connected anywhere. Can you guys take a look and help with where these two ends are supposed to go? I taped both ends to see if it would help but no...

    Brake issue after pulling engine

    Hoping you guys can help with a brake bleed issue that I'm having. I recently pulled my engine and have put it back in. Engine is running fine, however, now the brake pedal has all the symptoms of air in the brake system, but I can't figure how that could have happened. The first time I pumped...

    How bad is the HG job on a 7.3 IDI?

    I think I got her running good now. I removed the injectors and added new copper washers and that seemed to do the trick.Im gona do a quick test drive when the sun goes down. https://photos.app.goo.gl/YuH635u5crU4agD48

    How bad is the HG job on a 7.3 IDI?

    I'll verify that. Is there a proper placement for this small tube that runs underneath the air filter?

    How bad is the HG job on a 7.3 IDI?

    Alright guys I got it started! Unfortunately it's making a weird thump/ticking sound. Really hoping it's not anything major. Please take a look at the video. The air intake is making a loud sound like someone beating a hand drum along with a ticking sound at the same time. When I partially block...

    I think it's fully primed stream comes out without any air. What's annoying me is my battery keeps dying. They're new from Costco. But all that cranking is killing them

    How bad is the HG job on a 7.3 IDI?

    Alright guys, I got a crank and no start. I went through all the fuel lines and did find loose injectors that were bubbling, took them out and some were missing the coper washers, guess those fell out along the way? Fuel leaks are gone but still no start. I purged the air from the valve while...
