    Great color combo, and super nice stance. ;Sweet

    Coolant boiling

    Running against the governor is not bad in an IDI as long as you start with earplugs and a full tank of fuel :D Glad to hear everything was ok when you got to your destination. One last silly question: how clean is the outside your radiator? The bottom third can collect dirt and/or leaves...

    7.3 swap.

    I think a lightweight 1/2 ton bronco with a n/a IDI is an awesome project. I like 8 lug axles on a truck but outside of the added weight of the engine on the front axle, it’s not like you are going to load it up with payload as it’s a bronco. If you keep the tire size reasonable I bet it will...

    Crewcab Project

    Interior looks great. That hole looks like classic “Midwest winter salt splash from my crummy inner fenders”, but how on God’s green earth is the Navistar sticker on the valve cover so nice? :dunno That hole is in a pretty inconsequential place. Is there any chance you could weld that hole...

    Coolant boiling

    Go get a OEM radiator cap and an OEM thermostat. Change them one at a time (I'd start with the radiator cap) and see if either fixes your issue. If your cap is weak, it will cause the symptom you are describing. CDX825 explained it very clearly: aftermarket thermostats don't work well in...

    Project Queso

    Diesel oil in motorcycles makes sense: the shearing action in the transmission and anti-foaming make perfect sense when you consider what wears out oil in the powerstrokes: the hydraulic cycles of the injectors and HPOP break down the oil in similar ways. Diesel oil works very well in...

    Assessing a 6.9 out of vehicle

    It doesn’t appear to be studded, and if it’s a 6.9 it has the older less desirable rocker arms too. Just remember, if the poster is telling you it’s studded, and it’s not, consider all the things you can’t see until you get the heads and oil pan off. If you need/want the turbo I guess it’s a...

    What does this winch bumper fit.. Bricknose or OBS?

    I agree, this probably fits an OBS 1992-1997 truck. The bricknose winch bumper usually had a much bigger "flat step" area on the top, use this thread to see a pic of a bricknose winch bumper. Good luck, hope if works out for you ;Sweet...

    hood latch question

    Gandalf is right: on my 1992 the backside of the latch was open and could be actuated by fingers. My 1995 has a more boxed in latch, which is interesting because they are the same body style. Yours being a bull nose, it may be completely different, but I agree with gnathv: fix it before it...

    OBS With strange symptoms

    Have you tried using Forscan? It seems to work well on PSDs, I have a 1995 and I had no issues connecting to my laptop with a $29 wireless dongle.

    1993 F-350 tow rig

    The inside of the cylinders look ok for a rebuild candidate. That #7 is a little odd, and although I would tend to agree on the corrosion possibility, if it was the result of any kind of contaminant, you would think it would be in a more perfect "axial pattern" all the way around the cylinder...

    7.3 idi engine shudder/miss

    You know, after watching the video, it sounds pretty healthy. How many miles have you put on it and how hard have you leaned on it? Might be worth a filter full of atf and some hard pulls up a decent grade to see idle quality changes. I’d compression test it too, but atf and a little workout is...

    7.3 idi engine shudder/miss

    Compression test to confirm all the cylinders are healthy.

    1993 F-350 tow rig

    That coolant system looks a little crusty, but the coolant system is very robust in an IDI, so I’ve got my fingers crossed that you’ll end up with a good bottom end. Lots of motorcycle guys love the Evan’s coolant. Only downside I hear is getting the system super dry before adding the Evan’s.

    cost of E4OD rebuild

    In addition to Brandon's video above, here's a couple good links to review: https://www.fourwheeler.com/how-to/...rhaul-for-heavy-duty-towing-and-off-road-use/ http://www.oilburners.net/forums/showthread.php?28880-Notes-on-an-E4OD-build-up Last time I made a list, it looked like 1100-1200 in...

    99 7.3 running on 4 cylinders

    Welcome aboard. First and foremost, I think you are looking at and doing everything you should based on the issue you are describing. It also sounds like you did a lot of the preventive maintenance when you shimmed the injectors, cups, orings, glow plugs, etc. Sometimes you can do all the...

    Flasher and turn signal relay locations on 1990 F250

    I believe there are two separate flasher relays on the brick nose trucks. Trying to help a buddy troubleshoot his directionals not working over the phone, but I don’t have a brick nose to look at. It a 460 gasser single cab, which probably doesn’t matter but figured I would mention it just in case.

    1996 F-Superduty 7.3 won’t stay running

    FYI: newer 7.3 IDMs are supposedly better running and more robust. Good luck, hopefully you found your issue.

    1996 F-Superduty 7.3 won’t stay running

    +1 on plugging it in. I like the heat gun, but any additional heat you can will help with a hard cold start. The check engine light with no codes part seems interesting/strange. Are you using a handheld scanner or Forscan, AE or ?
