    '89 7.3 T Wait to Start light not turning off. New to me, Property Of Shop.

    OH!! So YOU were the PO. I Understand. I also enjoyed the starter drive ground flat. The starter was replaced also. Under hood wiring looks unmolested. I suspect the GP Controller being about 3 inches(?) from the turbo might have kilt it along with the GP's being fried by the PO Think I need...

    6.9 IDI endless hard starts

    I will throw my two cents in here. I believe the Return fuel line from the top of the fuel filter housing to the fuel rail should be deleted as it might cause drain off. Somebody else should feel free to chime in here.....

    Power steering pump choice (rockauto)

    Be sure to raise the front end, fill the reservoir with P/S Fluid and turn the wheel lock to lock several times before starting the engine. You might also consider NOT starting the engine for 30 minutes after you get it bled out. This should be enough time to get the air bubbles out of the...

    EOD 40 question

    Overfilling the trans is just as bad as running it low. High fluid level gets into the spinning gears, which then turns the fluid into a pink mess as it gets churned up and mixing with air. Bubble gum goo will not shift a trans. Basic hydraulics is that fluid does not compress. Air does...

    This toy has had Hotshot (?) tossed into the tank on a regular basis. I had just added some before this happened. The weather is getting good for 4 days and I hope to get to it between everything else. Maybe.

    Hollow exhaust sound

    The minimalistic noise is hard to describe, but that silly thing seemed to gain power when it did which would negate a blown snail seal. Speaking of which the PO glued into place and that is yet another project. Snow at least for 2 more days and the idi is not a daily driver. I am leaning to...

    Hollow exhaust sound

    Snow is starting to come down tonight at my 1200 Ft elevation. Wednesday should be the real fun day. Timing advance sounds plausible. It started this with my foot flat in it and just after adding a dose of "Hot Shot" to a rebuilt (Oregon Injection) IP. Injectors also new at the time, about 10K...

    Hollow exhaust sound

    Greetings one and all. Playing with the '94 F350 7.3 factory idi T and it appears to have developed a nice "Hollow sound" from out of the engine exhaust. Sounds like a good "Whoofing" air pump. Acceleration now produces a trail of black smoke and a very fast one time only, so far, appears to be...

    Late to the party. '95 PSD CEL/Rough idle/Excessive engine noise

    ZD 30 from rockauto. I have a lot going on and I need to get that engine dialed in. I am praying the injectors are not a problem once this contraption gets back together and hopefully the oil consumption drops off.

    Late to the party. '95 PSD CEL/Rough idle/Excessive engine noise

    Thank you for the info, Looking at the symptoms listed and an oil soaked pigtail, I replaced the icp and pigtail. No more check engine light, but had a bit rough idle. I took it for a short test drive and once finding a hill had to turn around and come home. One of the valve cover plugs was...
