    Anyone done a large aux c6 trans cooler?

    I just realized that if you add a big auxiliary cooler that holds an extra quart or whatever you should have a higher fluid capacity like the deep pan. Otherwise it seems you could cause another problem with insufficient fluid in the pan. Or.. Am I making it a bigger deal than it really is...

    What years f250 idi diesels had limited slip?

    Ok. I thought the bull nose I had wasn’t and it was straight 80/90. Is the diff tagging related, can you tell from looking at it?

    Anyone done a large aux c6 trans cooler?

    Nice!! Like 6.0 powerstroke trans cooler? Is it similar to the one that we were talking about in the link that was posted? Does it have a fan? I had a 6.0 and the transmission was 100% bulletproof I know this from experience working the hell out of it.

    Anyone done a large aux c6 trans cooler?

    A diesel tech was saying it is good to run a cooling unit with a fan for hot summer traffic that slows you down enough to need some artificial wind.

    Anyone done a large aux c6 trans cooler?

    Did you need an extension or is stock tube length ok with the deep pan? I wanted to order the deep pan with the temp port and wasn’t sure if I really needed to do the mod for the longer intake filter thingy.

    Anyone done a large aux c6 trans cooler?

    Sweet yeah! That’s exactly what I was told about. So I can go from the trans to the rad unit, back out to the aux unit, then back to the trans

    7.3 idi compression test results

    I still haven’t done anything with the timing. Time to make another little timing wrench again. I need to advance the timing a little bit from age I think and see if it improves at all. Any other thoughts /suggestions?

    7.3 idi compression test results

    I ran around a little bit with the drippy oil tube in my left fender. Every time I stopped at a traffic light people would look at me like my engine was on fire.

    7.3 idi compression test results

    I will replace the injection pump but I had a return line leak and wanted to get the injectors done. Also want to figure out what’s going on with this oil consumption first. I can’t save the money fast enough to do it when I’d like to.

    7.3 idi compression test results

    How much can I access to check or replace parts that may be causing the oil leak by just removing the intake, pump, manifold and valve covers? Rods, rockers, lifters.. Are the valve guide seals serviceable from the top?

    7.3 idi compression test results

    Thank you yes I do need to do some timing adjustments to see if I can smooth it out. Advance it a nickel or so maybe for compensation for my ip’s mileage correct?

    7.3 idi compression test results

    Yeah I tested the new one. I blew in the tiny hole on the front of the can and it compressed a little and blew the air back out the little hole. If it works, you can feel it blow air back out the hole. Truthfully I did the same test on the old dirty one and the little hole was blocked. It tasted...

    7.3 idi compression test results

    I did the injectors and return lines. I also replaced the cdr very recently. I still get blue smoke at takeoff from a stop if I don’t start off slowly and didn’t improve the rough running problem.

    7.3 idi compression test results

    I’m really happy the low oil situation didn’t hurt the compression much. It’s got a little slump in its rumble. When it’s in D it bounces a little. In P it shakes less. At stop/start it feels like a tiniest load on the engine makes it shake like low power. Why do you think I would lose so much...

    7.3 idi compression test results

    So, would you say that’s good compression? I wasn’t sure on the 2 - 370s bing on the same side right next to each other.

    7.3 idi compression test results

    The old timer who had it from birth took it in for regular service and kept records. He kept it out of the weather and at 130k I’m not saying nothing happened, but I’d bet it wasn’t starting fluid.

    7.3 idi compression test results

    130k miles. Clean truck. I’m losing a bunch of oil.. 4 quarts at 500 miles. So I had a compression test done. I’m wondering if this is enough loss to be concerned about? The truck rocks at idle so running kinda rough, could the compression issue I have cause it? All input is appreciated!

    Thank you.

    7.3 idi overheated and the c6 started to drip.

    Would you happen to know the best color modulator stripe for the idi with 33s? I know the modulator in it is old now and it looks like a light blue stripe. The overdrive (4th) always shifts late at 2500. Also when slowing down before a stop it clunks into gear a little sometimes in the last...
