    Belt Loose, also anyone hear a knock?

    Looks like your truck has been well taken care of. I noticed a coolant filter there beside the alternator that’s been added as well. That’s usually a good sign that the previous owner knew what needed to be taken care of on these trucks and likely kept up with the maintenance schedules. Good...

    7.3 swap.

    Interesting idea for the split returns, I forgot about the evap system on gas trucks but since the infrastructure is there that’s probably going to work just fine. I am curious how long the in tank pump will last pumping diesel instead of gas but who knows maybe it’ll be the solution to all of...

    Ex Wife- my LONG term build

    Great progress, there’s something indescribably satisfying about knowing all the nooks and crannies are clean even if no one will ever appreciate it. I have to ask though, how did you get the headliner out without removing the rear or front window? which door did you use? Does it only work if...

    Turbo.....

    I can’t remember if the 088 has a split feed pipe like the 093 but if it does be prepared to make sure that joint is sealed well. Exhaust leaks will make that awesome turbo very disappointing. It needs all the energy it can get from the exhaust to perform as expected. We just got finished...

    Should I replace alternator bearings?

    For the DIY guys, rebuilding one isn't too bad a project as long as your rotor and diodes are still good. This place carries quality components and they've got a complete step by step rebuild video. They also have a 200amp high current upgraded stator/diode bridge kit that is pretty reasonably...

    Googlefu is weak

    https://www.oilburners.net/media/albums/factory-turbo-ats-093-rebuild.72/page-5 With the new OB update all the pics are backward in the album that's the reason to start on page 5 and work backward.

    '86 Extended cab project thread

    Here's some info for rebuilding your turbo before you install it. For some reason after the upgrade here on OB all the pictures in my albums are in reverse order so start here on page 5 and work backward to see the intended order of operations...

    Find a rust free southern OBS gasser and swap all your good stuff to it.

    PCM Breakout box in Houston

    Yep, that was one of the first items I looked for. Unfortunately after following the diagnostic test plan and trying another known good IDM it looks like the PCM is what's flaking out. Probably just a cold solder joint on some component but it's unlikely that I'd be able to find it with my...

    Rear main seal leakage - should I use a stop leak? [1994 IDI w/ turbo]

    If you decide to get gaskets and seals for your turbo contact Russ (www.russrepair.com) or Wes (www.classicdieseldesigns.com) they're the only guys around that have the correct turbo drain valley pan grommet and CDR grommet and gasket. And use motorcraft TA-31 on any surfaces that need RTV. None...

    Twin Turbo setup 7.3idi

    To the OP: Since mouse brought up Wes, you're only about 80mi from him. Before you jump into the deep end you should check out his website and maybe setup a visit to see what else can be done. www.Classicdieseldesigns.com

    Twin Turbo setup 7.3idi

    The energy of the expanding hot exhaust gasses leftover after pushing the piston down is what drives the turbine fast enough to move more air volume into the motor than is being released. Because of this it is typically best to keep the turbos as close to the engine as possible. However if you...

    PCM Breakout box in Houston

    I've got an intermittent shut down issue with my '97 Cali automatic. It has posted P1670 only. The Diagnostic routine suggests using the PCM Breakout to search for intermittent continuity on several circuits between the PCM and IDM. I don't have a breakout harness but would love to rent or...

    Compatibility of 87-91’ Dash Cluster Between Gas and Diesel

    How much of a swap was your truck? If you put the diesel wiring harnesses in place then you should have most of the factory wiring for the tach. In the diesel harness there are a couple connectors on the passenger side of the truck behind the battery that carry the tack signal, A/C Clutch and...

    E40D Help!

    Also don't forget to check the brake light bulbs at the rear including the 3rd brake light if your year had one. An imbalance in the brake light circuit due to a bulb out can mess with an input to the TCM.

    Front tank sending unit.

    Another known compatible RTV like sealant with Diesel and Diesel Oils is Motorcraft TA-31. Amazon will deliver it and sometimes the stealership stocks it and Oreilly's sometimes has it in their stores. It comes in a half size calk tube. Motorcraft says "A specially designed Alkoxy-Cure RTV...

    Valve clearance issue

    Also know that Justin had some specific instruction on how to time the cam. Some of his cams had to be installed retarded a tooth but I don't know if it was batch specific or what. Anyway check with him or some of the other guys that have put his cams in.

    E4OD Limp mode

    Chase down all the sensor inputs to the TCM and check the wiring harness connectors for loose, corroded, burnt contacts. Tach Sensor, Speed sensor in the rear axle, FIPL voltage, MLPS values in different gears, and make sure the Brake light bulbs and contacts are clean and working correctly...

    Clutch hydraulic line?

    The aftermarket offers a steel line with a braided flex section but I think it’s only available as part of an assembly with the master and slave cylinder all pre-assembled. Rockauto has them and I’m sure amazon and eBay too. If you’re going spend money on this, I’d recommend the one from Russ...

    Turbo setup ideas/

    If you're still looking and planning, I've got this setup that I'll never use. I don't know who made it and what's in the pics are all I've got. Someone thought it would be a good fit on the 7.3 but who really knows. The turbo is like new and is a T04B but other than the A/R numbers for the...

    Trailer hook up

    Those are nice units, it's nice to have the 4 pin readily available without needing an adapter. Here's an additional 7 blade and 4 pin combo connector that uses the same harness but fits in the round hole of standard 7 blade connector so you don't have to cut a new hole pattern in your bumper...

    E4OD Fresh Rebuild Still Have Issues

    Tach Sensor, Speed sensor in the rear axle, FIPL voltage and make sure the Brake light bulbs and contacts are clean and working correctly, also the hazard circuit in the multifunction switch/turn signal switch module which powers up the rear brake lights. Sometimes if the truck has a trailer...

    is an extended cab swap practical?

    If the cost to put it on the road is an issue (I'm assuming it's tied to GVW), maybe a cab swap would help. A cab from a F250 or F350 would allow you to reasonably title that truck as exactly that as long as you don't ever tip the scales above the GVW associated with the new cab. The VIN plate...

    F-Super Duty Trailer Hitch

    Since you have the 34” wide frame that remains common even up through today so I would think any of the hitches made for that width would work even if you have to make your own holes. E-trailer has a number of them if you look up the f350/450/550 cab and chassis super duty trucks from 99 and...
