    Did I get a good deal?

    the return lines look like they have been replaced not too long ago. hard telling if the injectors are original. if you are going to open up your motor, make sure it is well covered up from rain since you now will have 8 water entry points plus the intake to worry about.

    Did I get a good deal?

    imho, that's some awful advice to give a newb with no equipment on checking spray pattern or parts injectors to canibalize springs and shims from. Injectiors on these motors are essentially a calibrated pressure relief valve. there's really no magic happening other than they perform best as a...

    Need a shop recommendation...

    if you are operating under a budget, my suggestion is do not bring your motor to a machine shop unless you have $5k to play with. go buy a used truck with a good motor and swap it out. cheaper and faster in the meantime. also you won't be under pressure to get the truck rolling again and take...

    Sell my 7.3 idi or keep it

    I've never understood how people can expect a naturally aspirated motor can keep up with a computerized, turbocharged and intercooled motor. Simple means a little slower.....well ok, alot slower. Treat the motor to a turbo and a intercooler, now things are happening :D

    Sell my 7.3 idi or keep it

    i don't see the mention of a turbo. park the IDI behind the house. you'll need it when the 6.4 breaks. buy 7.3 psd, 6.0 psd or 6.7 psd. But whatever you do, stay the heck away from the 6.4
