    7.3 CA smog equipment

    This is true with Commercial trucks in most counties. "We" are North of the Bay Area and do not need DEF or the other BS. South of Ukiah, about 35 miles, in Sonoma County, the smog rules do apply so you will need the latest smog equipment.

    Fuel line clogged

    It probably just quits working. A solenoid is an "off and on switch".

    A/C blows fuse #9 immediately

    There is no reason for a diode on a compressor. It looks like a wire connection.

    89 350 non turbo 7.3

    Your batteries need changing AND clean up the cables that connect the batteries. Bad connections are the #1 cause of slow/no starts. Don't go cheap. Get decent batteries!

    drive line angle

    This is why they make angled shims for the differential. You can change the angle of the yoke to sorta match the tranny output shaft.

    hello

    Welcome to Oil Burners! The 6.0 engines are very nice until you need to change a head gasket. They are rough on head gaskets. I really liked my 2004 6.0 and sold it to a friend who liked it until he had to change the injector pump with a locally sourced one. Something with the injectors...

    Trailered home a 1989 F350 dump truck that looks great on the outside, but the 7.3 IDI is something else

    You will have to use Soldering Flux Paste to get the solder to flow into the bucket.

    Massive voltage drop when attempting to start; new batteries

    Starter maybe shot. It is drawing too much power. Is it turning over pretty fast or lugging?

    Transmission Gearing vs Rear Differential Gearing Question

    I remember driving at 55 mph during that time. I would eventually speed up to 65+ to get back to my standard travel times. Almost every one was going 65mph...

    stereo installation

    When I was a kid, the older folks called our music "noise"! I find it difficult to call The Beatles and The Beachboy's "noise"...

    Original OE Starter Woes... getting tired

    Whatever starter you choose must be able to spin the engine at minimum 500 rpms or it won't start. The engine cpu will not let fuel flow below 500 rpms - no start. A stock starter with clean wire connections/grounds is good. There are several items that cause no start; glow plugs, starter...

    Paint color

    I work for the Paint Dept at Home Depot. We use a scanner to match colors. It works something like 95% of the time or it does NOT work. Then we wait about 4 days for a new one to be shipped to our store. It is a very good system for matching colors!

    30 degree cold start (opinions wanted)

    Check your battery. It must be in GOOD condition to turn the engine over at 500 rpms in 30 degree weather. Replace it if it does not keep a charge. Weak batteries are the number ONE cause of COLD no starts.

    7.3 idi problem

    A weak battery will cause no-start problems. They must spin at 500 rpms to start. A weak battery will not spin the engine at 500 rpms.
