    Over charging??

    Make sure that the body of the fender mounted regulator is grounded well. If its still overcharging the new regulator is bad. I went through 3 in a few months. I gave up on those and got a motorcraft one from a wreck. The gas engine trucks use the same regulator.

    Connecting rod broke below the piston. Looking for ideas on cause.

    Usually that's caused by water in a cylinder. It can't compressed so the rod bends. Any chance water ran down the air filter bolt hole?

    How did you get into an IDI?

    I wanted a 3/4 ton or 1 ton ford pickup. I needed a 4x4,bigger cab and a stickshift. I was originally looking for a 1996 or newer truck but those were out of my price range.

    thrown rod reasons

    These engines tend to consume more oil than others do.mine uses a qt every 800 miles. If I went 5000 miles and didn't check the oil ( like most people)it would be 6 QTS low by then. Being that low on oil and merging on the Fwy is a recipe for disaster.

    Atf to clean?

    The amount of disersants in ATF is very small. Any motor oil even "SN" gasser oils will have much more dispersants and detergents thaN atf has. Maybe filling the filter with new engine oil would be even better?

    Atf to clean?

    I keep seeing atf recommended to clean injectors. How does it do that? Atf has no detergents or solvents. Wouldn't an injector cleaner work better?

    Exhaust restricive

    Mine had the stock pipes,muffler and tail pipe with screans in it. I had a local shop put 3 inch pipe and a 3 inch flowmaster on it thinking that would improve it's power. Made no difference whatsoever! Thinking of going with duals to see if that helps.

    So mines not supposed to do this?

    I went the other way. I learned on a series60 that was governed @1800. Later on I had a small can Cummins that was designed for 1700-2100.

    So mines not supposed to do this?

    Mine seems happiest @ 3000+ rpm. I often run it at those speeds on the hwy for hours on end.

    7.3 n/a exhaust advice

    My stock system had the screens in the tip and sounded like an air hose. Had a shop put 3inch pipe with a flowmaster on it. Made no difference in power but lots more noise around 1700 rpm.
