    OBS lift pump oil leak

    The factory mechanical lift pump on my 95 psd was leaking fuel, so I replaced it with a new OEM pump from the dealer, and now its leaking oil from in between the pump housing and the valley. The oring was well lubed before install. Not sure what I did wrong. Pretty sure I didn't kink that...

    PSD vs IDI Starter Bolts

    Are the starter bolts the same for the idi's and 7.3psd's? I'm missing a set of idi bolts and have a few psd trucks around, just thought I would ask before I go lay in the mud pulling a psd starter. Thanks

    Permatex Copper Spray.

    Thanks for the prompt replies fellas. I will give it a light spray, let it dry (as it says on the can) and then place the gasket and then the head. The block surfaces are looking ok but not perfect, and I will feel good about having a coat of spray on the gasket. I will post back with the...

    Permatex Copper Spray.

    I have used Hylomar in the past, on deck surfaces that were not in perfect shape, when replacing head gaskets. And never had a problem. Question is, how about Permatex Copper Spray? That's all I have at the moment and I'm doing a rush, unexpected head gasket job on an idi. The mating...

    Is this a good fuel pump?

    I have had good luck with those pumps. I WILL use them again. They are fairly available and for a fair price. I keep a spare in the tool box of vehicles equipped with them. Never had a failure but IF I do.....not a big deal. Replace in 20min and keep rolling

    Con Rod Bolts.

    What are some thoughts on re-using connecting rod bolts? I have always re-used in the past and have never had an issue. As I read deeper into the subject, many folks seem to suggest that rod bolts should ALWAYS be replaced. Granted, they are usually talking about high rpm engines not diesels...

    DT466 Head Bolts.

    Thanks. And one more question about this build. Are the rod bolts requiring a "stretch" beyond their 130lbs torque spec? If so, are there any other fasteners that require a stretch?

    DT466 Head Bolts.

    Does anyone know if the heads of the 466 engines used in the TD-15 dozers, are compatible with the on highway vehicle 466 engines? Reason I ask is because, I have a fresh 466 head, new guides, valves, seats, seals, magnafluzed; off of a dozer, would like to put that on my 1988 S1900 466...

    DT466 Head Bolts.

    Time for liner orings in one of my dt466's (1987 210hp model). The head has never been off before. Question is, can I re-use the head bolts or must they be replaced? I'm having a hard time finding this particular info. Also, do the head bolts on a 466 require re-torqueing after a while? I...

    How Much Louder is a SMF Over a DMF

    My first thought a while ago, was maybe a broken spring? I have been driving the truck this way for some time now and its not getting worse..just haven't had the time to drop the tranny again and check it out. But I thought I would mention as I came across this post

    How Much Louder is a SMF Over a DMF

    Yes, increased idle does quiet mine down. I have my fast idle on a manual switch and when idling for more then a few mins, I engage my fast idle. But I don't think that is a long term solution for the rattle as its also makes for more clutch slippage every time its engage from a dead stop. I...

    How Much Louder is a SMF Over a DMF

    I am using and AMS clutch and flywheel, single mass; and once the truck is moving, there is some typical rumble/growling which doesn't bother me at all....but at idle with trans in neutral, wow...sounds like the through out bearing is about to grenade. Loud rattle especially once its warmed up...

    And should any throttle be applied while cranking a psd during extended cold cranking intervals?

    idi in a Superduty

    Way out of my budget but that would be a pretty stout powerplant I'd say

    idi in a Superduty

    Thanks for the replies. I'm thinking the engine suffered something catastrophic, nevertheless...yeah I will certainly look into what exactly is going on. But ultimately, I want this truck build to be something as fully mechanical as possible. Just been having too many electrical issues lately...

    idi in a Superduty

    Hi guys. I have an opportunity to buy a cheap 01 F550 4x4 with a bad engine. Not sure what happened to the engine at this point but the truck is so cheap I don't care. It is a 7.3 and a 6 speed. I have a number of idi's around and an idi in a F550 would serve my needs very well. I need to go...

    Lift pump replacement time

    Where can I get that little thin oring where the intake "Y pipe" mates to the turbo? Mines getting to be in bad shape from having that Y pipe off so many times.

    Ah. Ok yeah that's one that I did replace, and I replaced it with a Motorcraft unit.

    Lift pump replacement time

    Hmm. I have replace the two rubber lines already with good clamps and the fuel filter restriction sensor which was also leaking. So I will have another attempt at tightening those banjo bolts. Are there any copper washers or anything under the bolts that I would need to get if I do end up...

    Lift pump replacement time

    I have a fuel leak from the lift pump "area" on my 95 PSD, not sure if its the pump or not at this point. But with the pump being original, I'm going to start with it and see where that gets me. When replacing the pump, is there anything else I should replace when I'm in there, cause I don't...
