    6.9 what the heck is going on!

    Remove the muffler, if that doesn't help get it compression checked, could be cavitation. Mine was acting similar before it blew the block. Also pull valve covers, it could have a bad rocker or bent valve

    7.3 idi 93 to 89 swap?

    I am putting a 1994 engine in my 1990 right now, it will bolt in just fine, but there are some wiring harness differences and the return line to the tank is a few inches closer to the passenger side of the truck. If you swap over accessories them the harnesses will match up perfectly. Remember...

    NA 7.3 Y pipe

    I actually just found a Dynomax Y and intermediate pipe on Rock Auto, should be the same one that comes in the kit right?

    NA 7.3 Y pipe

    Does anyone make a Y pipe for these? I had to cut the pipes off my manifolds when I pulled the engine and will need a new one

    7.3 IDI more issues

    Thank you, dead blow and a pry bar did the trick, now just fan clutch and water pump pulley. Next question, while I have the motor out I figured I would do my valve cover gaskets, return lines, and install my set of barely used reconditioned injectors. When I took out the old injectors the holes...

    7.3 IDI more issues

    How do you separate the pulley from the balancer? All bolts are out, the big washer is out and the pulley wont budge and a puller is just pulling on the whole balancer not the pulley. Should I just move over the whole balancer?

    I am using the 4 bolt flex plate from the bad engine to mate up with the 4 stud converter in that truck

    94 NA 7.3 E4OD question

    I will post pictures this evening now that I have the engine all the way out. I didn't realize how big of a job it was. This engine really did not want to come out. That and the lift tipped once, wheel broke and it nose dived into the truck and smashed the crossmember but engine appears fine so far.

    94 NA 7.3 E4OD question

    Interesting, I know for a fact the truck is IDI. I guess I'll have to look more into it when I get it out

    94 NA 7.3 E4OD question

    I am very confused. I am in the middle of swapping engines between 2 trucks and the flexplate/torque converter has 6 nuts on the 1994. I thought all IDI had 4 bolt flexplates. Does anyone have any idea why I have 6?

    1990 f250 electrical issue

    My trucks lights stopped working partially, I have replaced the switch but still only have running lights on the drivers side and no headlights. Also checked the switch connector and no burnt or melted plastic. Could it be the dimmer?

    Engine rattle and white smoke

    I didn't have the rocker issue but had exact same problem you started with, sudden heavy smoke smelling like diesel and low on power with the noise. I replaced the Injectors, did the ATF and Hot Shot Extreme, checked injector line temps. In the end a rocker arm blew through the block and the...

    Quick turbo question

    Will a Banks, Hypermax, or modified stock turbo be best for our trucks? I plan on a 90cc pump rebuild and some stage 1 injectors.

    7.3 IDI more issues

    I thought about it but the alternator and power steering pump on that truck are bad anyways, so I'm just trying to save since money and get my truck back
