    DIESEL SMELL IN CAB

    If you don't see any leaks or drips anywhere, return lines are good, and the truck has no starting/air intrusion issue, are you sure it's fuel? Could it be exhaust fumes you are smelling? That seems more likely based off what you say. Never-Have-I-Ether

    Waste Motor Oil Distillation?

    I prefer not blowing myself upcookoo:rotflmao Also depending on your area, you "technically" need a distiller's license. It would work in theory, but your placing a lot of faith in something that can easily blow up in your face. Never-Have-I-Ether

    Synthetic tractor trans oil any good for making waste motor oil

    It'll burn. Just mix it with about 5% gas or 15-20% diesel and put it through a centrifuge. Never-Have-I-Ether

    Head Gasket Oil Leak?

    The drain plug can leak oil? I pushed a bunch of crap through it so it's clear. I'll have to see if it's tight. Never-Have-I-Ether

    Fuel Selection Valve issues

    What would cause the fuse to blow if the chassis wiring harness is disconnected leaving the cab? Have a short I can't find also. Never-Have-I-Ether

    Head Gasket Oil Leak?

    Yup that metal piece is what I found. What is that again? It doesn't say. Thanks, I cleaned out the gunk while I was there best I can anyways. I'd say there was probably a 1/4 of dirt stuck at the bottom and all around! Pretty nasty, the CDR had oil dripping into the intake in addition to the...

    Head Gasket Oil Leak?

    Found pool of oil behind CDR. Unplugged the drain and whoosh it came out. Lots of dirt and old o-rings from the PO. Also found this metal tab. Ideas? Now it's figuring out where the oil is coming from. The air intake has lots of oil sludge inside it which makes me think CDR. Normal? Seems that...

    Head Gasket Oil Leak?

    After some fooling around today, I'm thinking the IP is what is leaking the most. At high rpm it started letting oil by the gasket. The valley pan is slick from it going back. As a side note, I dont know what rpm but the tailpipe was making a whistling noise. It's only at a little throttle...

    Head Gasket Oil Leak?

    Ive n That sounds genius actually. Never knew they had that stuff. I'm going to run the engine hot tomorrow and try to scrub some sludge off. It's pretty caked and nasty. I suspect the CDR or something towards the back of the engine....Any recommend cheap CDR and gasket? Is it even possible...

    Head Gasket Oil Leak?

    Ok, lots of examination done. Over the 250 miles several quarts of oil was lost. The transmission I can't see any on top of it and it's yellowish/brown in color. When you get a bunch on your hand it's black, but has clean oil look to it. I'm guessing that the transmission is catching spray from...

    Head Gasket Oil Leak?

    Ok, I put about 250 miles on the truck yesterday. I can't tell if it's the head, it's definitely wet around the area and definitely not the valve covers. Here's something interesting, oil is dripping off the transmission. Yes, it's oil. Somehow oil is running on the top of transmission then down...

    Recirculating Return Line Fuel?

    Since I didn't do the recirculating fuel line, I don't know for sure. However it would be nice if someone experimented it to see how the truck behaves. If you T'd it somewhere again before the fuel selector you could have an aux tank as a tank instead of a feeder. Good point though on the...

    any 6.9 fuel water separator alternatives?

    If you want to keep an OEM style filter head but without the air issues, I 1000‰ recommend this: https://puredieselpower.com/ford/6.9l-7.3l-idi-diesel/83-94-6.9l-7.3l-ford-idi-diesel-pdp-fuel-filter-head.html Never-Have-I-Ether

    Recirculating Return Line Fuel?

    For southern boys like us it ain't an issue. Up north though regular diesel fuel does gel up though depending on climate. Never-Have-I-Ether

    any 6.9 fuel water separator alternatives?

    Deleted my OEM filter head and replaced it with a fuel filter system for WMO and WATF. You get the idea, wix remote mount base and filter. Never-Have-I-Ether

    Recirculating Return Line Fuel?

    The amount of fuel though from the return line isn't much though in comparison to the amount getting pulled from the tank. I would think it would dissipate the heat by time it gets back to the IP..... Never-Have-I-Ether

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    They're quite nice and would be a great small truck vs getting a Ranger or TDI swapping a small truck. Pricy though at $4k, not terrible though considering it would be a small truck with 40+ mpg. I don't need one currently, but one day.... Never-Have-I-Ether

    Brass injector return caps

    Eh, they're around $200 and you'll be getting plastic caps anyways with the o-rings. Not economical to make it worth it, and they have to come out for o-rings anyways. I'd just stick with the plastic. Never-Have-I-Ether

    Anyone hotshot trucking in an IDI?

    Most companies have a required minimum tow rating of 10k Ib. With an IDI you'd probably be missing some of the "good" loads. You'd be slow and they would choose someone else. A 460 would be better for a hot shot but gas..... Never-Have-I-Ether
