    1993 F250 7.3 IDI non turbo Piston rings

    Has the truck sat for a long time or only used for transportation and not worked (loaded, trailer towing)? Diesels like to work and generate heat. I would check fuel pressure and volume also.

    1993 F250 7.3 IDI non turbo Piston rings

    Did your mechanic give you numbers on your compression test? When you take off your oil fill cap while idling, how much blow by do you have? These engines do have some.

    The controller is around $500, you could get a phone estimate on transmission r&r and driveshaft.

    Fuel Injector port?

    That is carbon. Your copper washer wasn’t sealing completely and the combustion was leaking into the injector bore. You have to clean it out. Many say a 12 gauge gun brush is the right size. I borrowed this from another post. Under no circumstances let carbon fall into the cylinder UNLESS it...

    7.3 NA running as if it had a bad spark plug wire or bad plug.

    I’d try a heavy dose of hot shot’s secret and see if it frees whatever is sticking.

    Cracked fuel pump cause

    I think the hose vibrating causes it to look like it’s moving a lot. The video is short but it looks like the hose is vibrating and not so much the filter head assembly. When you watch the hose coming off the rear of the filter head, it’s not moving much.

    Air intrusion on 1990 7.3L f350 with banks turbo

    The glow plug relay clicking is normal. The relay continues to cycle for a little while after truck starts. Does your block heater work? If it does plug it in for an hour and see if starting improves.

    Transmission shop near Yakima? (or Puyallup)

    I’d be surprised if it’s less than 12 quarts.

    Transmission shop near Yakima? (or Puyallup)

    The Lucas is a pint and a half, I doubt that adding it would overfill enough to matter unless you‘re already above full on your stick. I think the Lucas increases the viscosity to increase pump pressure giving you a little more clamping pressure on your clutches. I’d do it, it may give you some...

    No power steering

    It should take 2-3 quarts, use ATF not power steering fluid. I borrowed this from another post. 1- Hook everything up 2- Fill with fluid 3- Jack up front of truck off of ground (Both front wheels) 4- Disconnect or Disable coil (So Truck CANNOT start) 5- Turn Steering wheel lock to lock about 5...

    No power steering

    From your picture it looks like the bottom shaft seal is leaking, running down the pitman arm and dripping off the tie rod end. Look on top and sides of steering box and be sure it’s not originating higher up.

    No, I didn’t miss your point. You said you may wait to put the aluminum pan on. I suggested the 4x4 pan if yours doesn’t already have one, until you changed.

    Transmission shop near Yakima? (or Puyallup)

    If the shop has c6 pans laying around you might ask if they’ll trade a 4x4 pan for yours if it‘s not the 4x4 pan already, they’re a couple inches deeper.

    Aluminum is easy to drill and tap. My B&M temperature Guage sender mounts in transmission line. In the plastic bag there are t fittings with an adapter that the sender screws into if you don’t have threads In the pan.

    I know you watch your Pennie’s like I do. This adds 2 quarts, aluminum, drain plug and is in stock. Summit ships quickly.

    7.3 idi engine 1989

    I wouldn’t buy any parts until I took it apart and checked it out, especially the rods.

    Electric pump conversion

    I think your looking at the wrong area maybe. The mechanical fuel pump is on the passenger side of the engine below the exhaust manifold. There should be 2 fuel lines. 1 rubber line coming into the pump and 1 metal line leaving the fuel pump going up to the filter housing on the top driver side...

    Pickle a 7.3 (out of vehicle) ?? ?

    Just trying to save you more problems.

    Pickle a 7.3 (out of vehicle) ?? ?

    A sealed plastic bag will condensate, could cause more trouble than it prevents.

    Thanks! (ATF in the fuel filter does wonders)

    If it’s running smooth, good power, decent mpg, you may still be surprised with timing it.

    Need help ASAP, truck is dead!

    If your battery light is blown I don’t think it will charge. Check fuse 29. That runs charging light and airbag light. Here are the voltages you should be seeing on those 2 wires at the alternator and the output to your batteries.

    Need help ASAP, truck is dead!

    I know you told me the light flickered once. Does the light come on steady with the key on and the engine not running? The light bulb is part of the charging circuit.
