    Squealing Noise Until Operating Temp

    I used to squirt some gold bond powder on my old chevys serp belt to quiet it down for a couple weeks. in my case it was a slight misalignment, but you should pull the belt and deep clean all the pulley grooves and belt with brake clean.

    1993 7.3 IDIT - Delete the turbo, replace injectors and use a fuel pump calibrated for 174HP?

    see the difference in HP and part number is just specifying that plunger measurement

    6.9 W/Bad Injection pump?

    i wouldnt play with the timing until you have a meter on it. what are the injectors popping at? as long as they all match within ~50 psi then time with the meter accordingly. dont pop them on the truck, doesnt sound fruitful. you can test them with 10w on the bench though. something also to note...

    Manual Fuel valves with stock gauge

    Really like the relay idea, basically use the normally open circuit for one sending unit and the normally closed for the other is what I'm understanding. Wonder if i can find all the required wires in the connector on the selector valve and use the 12v from one of the directions on the dash switch.

    1993 7.3 IDIT - Delete the turbo, replace injectors and use a fuel pump calibrated for 174HP?

    The pumps are all the same, the difference in HP is the WOT fuel delivery by the pump plungers. The measurement of the fully extended pumping plungers when the pump was built is what makes them print the HP rating on the valve cover. When you turn up the "fuel screw" it compresses a leaf spring...

    1993 7.3 IDIT - Delete the turbo, replace injectors and use a fuel pump calibrated for 174HP?

    are we forgetting the idi was actually designed to run against the governer? yes the motor makes the most torque under 2000, sometimes it needs to be wound out like a detroit. lol these motors were in school busses that maxed 55 mph against the governer at 33-3400 rpm. in a marine application...

    Manual Fuel valves with stock gauge

    Hey! Hey! ive been trying to figure out the same thing on my 93. Wonder if the circuits are the same between brick and aero.. Im using some heavy duty hydraulic spool valves as selector valves because the stock selector is weak for my setup. Ive been chasing an issue where both tank sending...

    Lol please help

    rust is from never getting the engine up to temp to burn the moisture out of the oil/never changing the oil. when you say "fuel pressure is perfect" are you talking about out of the filter head? cause you never specified if you actually have fuel at your injectors. even with a dogs fart of...

    Before I buy injection pump....

    you should audibly hear a click of the solenoid when ignition power is on and you pull the spade off the FSS wire off. touch it a few time to the terminal. should click. unless the pump is totally gummed up l, i doubt youll need a new one.

    Good morning from -10 PA.

    Let it warm up a bit then started down the road, and right away i could tell i was starting to gel up, so i just made it into the gas station down the st that has Kerosene and threw 3 gallons in the tank. gonna sit and idle and let that circulate for a little bit

    1992 f250 with 7.3 idi long crank, start but dies, 8 hours after sitting,fuel filter at 1/4

    Seal up the filter head, there's many leak points, and you can try plugging the port on the filter head that feeds into #1 return cap. this stops giving the filter an easy place to drain back. But if it's only 1/4 full, you probably have a leak on the bottom somewhere

    WTB Portable boring bar Van Norman, Kwik Way, Storm

    No, not a "boring bar" for a lathe or mill, it sits on an engine block.

    7.3 idi problem

    your best option of deleting the selector valve is to pick one of the good tanks, and run brand new rubber fuel line from the pickup to the lift pump, and from the return tee back to the tank. this will shore up hopefully any air problems. you would be better in the long run if you dropped the...

    WTB Portable boring bar Van Norman, Kwik Way, Storm

    With tool kit- shooting for the stars here, who has a deal on a boring bar for a guy? I'd drop around $1200 on one right now. Tired of being limited by zero machine shops locally and i have multiple projects that involve blocks getting cut. Let me know if anyone can help. Located in Illinois but...

    7.3 idi problem

    It should at least pop on a few if it has low compression but doubt that's it. if it's remotely cold where you're at, it's gonna need the glow plugs working. you can caveman a screwdriver across the posts of the GP solenoid for 8 seconds or so. that will fire any and all of the working plugs...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I really like the Bando belt on rockauto. the gates was too long for some reason. I bought a few of them to have on the shelf

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Installed new stock replacement headlamp assemblies earlier this afternoon, and also did the relay mod for them. Wow! i was basically driving blind before, crazy what you get used too. Also replaced the glow plug solenoid as well, this is the second one ive had start to stick especially when...

    Rock Auto, scam on shipping?

    Yes, they will do that when the big list starts forming for some reason. i will often go back and cherry pick different parts after they do the switcheroo.. it's still a better deal for most stuff, if it can wait. sometimes i get stuck going to napa or whatever. i like the closeouts and bulk...

    Starts the dies - But......

    do you have a hose connection from the filter head that goes to the return system? great place to start if so by deletting that, then the filter has a lot harder time draining out while sitting. after that, id be looking at the lift pump, and the entire span of suction supply line from tank to...

    Took some life away from my starter today

    Truck sat for a day, went to start it up and when it gets cold my glow plug solenoid doesnt engage sometimes, it takes a few times of holding the button. I have one to replace it but ive been lazy.. that's beside the point. I thought, "lets just see how long it takes to start without plugs"...
