    Found metal in my filter

    The turbo bearings are a brass bearing, possibly the gold/brass you see. Lack of oil could cause the noise and turbo to sieze. I'd pull the intake and see if you can spin the turbo shaft.

    transmission mount

    I ordered this and the motor mounts. I had placed radiator hoses in the cart and was going to get charged separate shipping for the hoses and the mounts. You are correct, approximately $25 in shipping in two separate orders. I removed the radiator hoses from the cart and it brought it down to...

    transmission mount

    Are these mounts rubbery or hard mounts? I'm sure after 32 years, mine are probably shot. I can replace when I pull the motor for head gaskets.

    Need a Photo of Intact Lower Portion of Windshield Pillar

    I don't have fender off pics, but it follows the contour of the fender.

    Glowshift Gauges?

    The boost gauge you listed is way to high boost. I have the 20 psi one. If you are running stock, 6 psi or so would only be a tiny blip on the 60 psi one, even 10-15 psi isn't much sweep at all. I don't have the glowshift pyro, but have the other 3. They work well for 6 months so far.

    Want to buy ARP studs

    I called every listed diesel parts store listed searching Google. Called jegs, summit, classic diesel and posted on Facebook groups. I promise, if Google search was the answer, I wouldn't be posting an in search of here. ARP isn't supposed to switch their tooling over to possibly start in...

    Is there anyone who wants to sell 7.3 ARP studs? I'm having a hard time finding any.

    Smoke after turbo install

    I had issues with my magnetic pickup not reading on my tech time unit. There was some gunk in the tube on the dampener. I used brake kleen and a 5/16 drill bit. Put the bit into the tube and turn by hand. I also marked my magnetic pickup depth from the outside of the tube. It was stopping...

    Turbo oil lines once more.

    I did do similar to this initially. I kept the NA oil sender on the back. I brought a stainless flexible line from the oil galley plug. I used a brass T mounted to the fender liner by the coolant overflow. I ran the aftermarket sender off this T and then another section of flexible line to...

    Turbo oil lines once more.

    I was going to something similar with an extension for an aftermarket oil pressure sensor. I was advised to not use brass, but rather stainless because of the vibration. I did for a while, but I was really concerned with the vibration and I kept thinking about it while driving. I didn't want...

    7.3 idi Turbo oil line and such fun.

    This is the driver side of a bare block. The red circles are the oil galley plugs. The flat flange between the second and third is the rear oil cooler head mount. The two downward cylinders on either side of the first (from left) red circle are the lower engine mount bolt bosses. You can see...

    Leaking Head Gasket no pressure being applied.

    Mine is seeping in the same spots in both heads. I pulled all the accessories and checked/redid the thermostat gasket. Of course, mine hasn't ever had the head gaskets done. I've traced the leak location to the rectangular shaped coolant passage. Doesn't help much in your situation though...

    Both temp gauge AND idiot light are stuck

    The sensors work by resistance on the same line wire as each other. So interestingly my engine idiot light still comes on when the dummy gauge reads warm and my aftermarket gets above 220. I don't have the idiot light sensor installed at all and removed it's wire when I redid and rerouted my...

    Both temp gauge AND idiot light are stuck

    Sensor in the first pic is the idiot light. I have an aftermarket gauge digital installed there. 2nd pic sensor is the factory temp sensor. It's back on the block behind the thick black hose. You can also see where my head gasket is seeping coolant. 3rd pic shows the factory temp sensor plug...

    7.3 idi Turbo oil line and such fun.

    I purchased a 30 inch oil feed line and the appropriate -4 an fittings. One for the block oil feed and one for the turbo feed block. I used a 45 degree fitting on the block riser. It will be either 1/8 npt for a NA block or 1/4 npt for a turbo block. The turbo oil manifold I'd either 1/8 or...
