    Injectors or timing?

    I haven’t used one of these but I see the trigger point is set to low in each of your pictures. Is that a setting that is correct for the 7.3 idi? When I read the manual for it, low is triggered at 30% pressure and high is triggered at 70% pressure, so I’m thinking it’s somewhat of a sensitivity...

    BILLOWING white smoke

    Your injectors are oil driven. Oil mixed with coolant could cause injectors to do strange things.

    BILLOWING white smoke

    I said most likely. You may have 2 different problems. If you have coolant in oil you need to fix that and see if it still smokes. As for rebuilding oil cooler recently, it’s not hard to nick an o ring on installation. Did you smell the smoke to see if it was coolant or fuel, or could be oil?

    AC Condenser as Trans Cooler

    Is it a r134 or r12? If it’s the old round tubing type it should work fine. If it’s the new style the passages are not much more than pin size and may cause restrictive flow.

    E4OD from Monster Transmission for my 1993

    Video from MT on changing shift lever from old transmission to new transmission. Apparently this is not unusual.

    7.3 IDI No start when hot

    How long has the pump been sitting before it was installed. May have gummed up from being on the shelf. I’d run a cleaner through it and see if it makes a difference.

    We’re you too advanced or not enough?

    If you’re ever able to get a meter put on it there may be more hiding under the hood.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    New engine, No power

    As far as timing without a meter. Have you ever heard the clatter of the engine change when the cold start solenoid kicks in? Before I had a meter, I adjusted timing and then jumpered the cold start solenoid and listened for that rattle. The cold start advances timing about 2 degrees. When you...

    New engine, No power

    I’d still check for exhaust leaks, new turbo wheel should add more air to offset fuel. It doesn’t take much exhaust or boost leak to lower boost and raise EGT.

    New engine, No power

    Sounds like you have more fuel. I’d try adjusting timing and see if it improves power.

    7.3 running hot

    If you can tow in overdrive the torque converter lock helps with water temperature, no slip to heat trans fluid.

    7.3 IDI No start when hot

    lining up the timing marks are to get it running. The pump is probably out of time. Take the AC glow plugs out and install Motorcraft before you regret it. When it cranks and doesn’t start are you getting smoke out of tailpipe?
