    Putting Oil Change into the Tank

    Was just changing the oil in my truck (1994 7.3 IDI NA) and was wondering if there is any harm in just putting the waste oil into the fuel tank. We're talking like 12 quarts plus. I would make sure the tank is full of diesel, about 18 gallons so it would dilute sufficiently. I have a 500 mesh...

    Question regarding E4OD

    Last summer I picked up a non-running 1994 Vin K regular cab 4x4 with an E4OD. The engine is not the turbo version according to the engine block number (7.3 U2U1028595). There was evidence of a turbo since there are firewall scorch marks in the paint on passenger side firewall. Not sure what...

    Fuel Gauge pegged - where to start looking

    Guys, I wanted to give a final update on my fuel tank issues. I bought this truck I think pretty cheap at $1800. The thing is, it is solid. No rust at all except surface rust on frame. Body absolutely solid. Only problem is someone did a Saturday night, a case of beer and 3 guys paint job on it...

    Question about glow plug controller

    Just a simple question. If I leave the ignition key in the On position where everything in the truck is energized, the glow plugs start to warm up. What if you leave the key in that position for say, a couple of minutes, will you burn up the plugs? Or is the controller smart enough to time...

    Fuel Gauge pegged - where to start looking

    Wanted to update and ask some additional questions. So for me since I have a fork truck it was a no brainer to take the bed off rather than crawl around under the truck, Pic 01. I could not belief the condition of the sending units. Check out the corrosion. Pic 02. I noticed that there is no...

    Fuel Gauge pegged - where to start looking

    I have a 94 F-250 HD 4x4 Vin K truck with a NA motor. Systematically going thru it and making repairs. Next is the fuel gauge. I have replaced the the dual tank switch on the dash as it was broken. The gauge sits fully pegged on full regardless of which tank it is switched to and I know the...

    Removing Timing Cover

    Black Dawg, Yes, I used some oring stock from my business. The groove depth on the cover measures nominally .063. I keep oring cord stock of various diameters for the work I do. I used 2 mm (.078) Buna N stock. The idea of smearing RTV seemed so dumb when there was a groove to be used. Cord...

    Removing Timing Cover

    Want to thank you all for responding to my questions. I went ahead and scribed a line on the cam gear and cover to help in getting the gear reinstalled properly. It's a good thing as after I pulled it apart I don't see how one could confidently be sure you would get the timing marks together as...

    Removing Timing Cover

    Hi all, First time posting. Have been following this site awhile and have learned a lot. I picked up a 1994 F-250 HD Vin K regular cab 4x4 at a good price. I have been going thru it systematically fixing all the things that needs to be done. It was a turbo truck but somewhere in the past the...
