    I really need help with a weird no start

    Is there anywhere in particulate you've seen common blockages? All of the feed lines are new and l can blow air all the way through them. The filter is clean and I'm getting pressure out of the filter head. Is there any way to test if the IP itself is blocked up?

    I really need help with a weird no start

    I plan on checking when it's not too cold to feel my fingers lol. I believe the pump is only rated for 7psi, however the pump was on the truck when i bought it. I'm started to question if the pressure is actually too low, earlier i noticed the stream i get from the Schrader valve has slowed down...

    I really need help with a weird no start

    So i actually ended up getting it to start earlier. Not sure why, because it was even colder. But i took it for a drive, and i had absolutely zero balls, anything over 1/4 throttle it would bog, puff light gray smoke, and slow down, wouldn't do over 30. As i was was heading back, it got even...

    I really need help with a weird no start

    Thank you that's a good idea, I'll find a helper tomorrow to check. It's really weird to me because like you said, it does start great. It was about 20°f out, no block heater, started right up. Thanks again!

    Multiple Fuel Problems/Shifting Problems?

    Fortunately this truck has an electric lift pump with the mechanical pump blocked off and lines disconnected. I replaced all of the lines between the fuel filter head and the selector valve, as i can't get to the rest without removing either the tank or the bed. I think the next thing I'm gonna...

    Multiple Fuel Problems/Shifting Problems?

    Thank you for the response, i appreciate it a lot. I adjusted the FIPL and got much better shifting, still not perfect but drivable. I also ended up turning the fuel down 9 flats (was adjusting 3 at a time) still running a little rich but it doesn't leave a smoke screen behind me or choke out...

    New to IDI's in MA

    Hey yall, just got a 93 7.3 IDI NA about a month ago. New to mechanical diesels. It's crazy to think that once upon a time, diesels were just big blocks with injection pumps and glow plugs. I've only ever worked on diesels that were 500,000 piece puzzles, this is quite the treat.
