    99 7.3 white smoke on deceleration

    If one or more cylinders were not contributing to the "contribution" that the test is testing for, it will give you a readout as to which cylinders those are, possibly indicating an injector problem, etc. and you can narrow down which cylinders to look at, which can save a great deal of time and...

    99 7.3 white smoke on deceleration

    Are you able to do a cylinder contribution test? And im assuming that is fuel smoke as you mentioned it smells of fuel, but have you confirmed that it's not engine oil consumption? And how much blow by does the engine have?

    Powermaster starter "specialty" install tool

    For those that run the Powermaster 9051 in their PSD's, you know the challenge of trying to access the top mounting bolt with a socket/extention/wrench/universal etc. I find that a wrench bent like this one, works really nice when reaching in from the wheel well, to access that top bolt. I...

    Random ploofs of smoke

    I have noticed this on several IDI's. While maintaining a steady throttle input (not necessarily WOT, but enough to create steady smoke), there will be occasional puffs of heavier smoke that come and go. Never did figure it out, this was on new or fresh pumps, from reputable pump builders. A...

    E4OD, part found on the bottom of the pan. What is it?

    That's a great pic if the location of that detent lever. Thank you. Yeah the pin that moves the valve in and out, is till engaged with the valve, and the valve is moving like it should....Im thinking the problem might be deeper unfortunately.

    E4OD, part found on the bottom of the pan. What is it?

    Ah huh! That makes sense. This trans has never had those detents when moving the column shifter. So this is likely un-related to the only forward direction of travel issue I would imagine

    E4OD, part found on the bottom of the pan. What is it?

    1992 7.3 F450. Every gear position on the column shifter, except P, results in forward motion of the truck. Park holds the truck, RND21 ALL go forward. Trans shifts thru the gears as it should when left in D. I had assumed a seized, broken or somehow messed up forward drum/clutch unit, if...

    Riffraff Up pipes

    It's been a while since I have bought up pipes. I recall hearing about Riffraff being out of stock on SD 7.3 up pipe kits a while back and it seems to be the case on their website. Does anyone know the estimated wait time or if they actually are still selling them? If not, where's everyone...

    How slow on a 10mi long 6% grade?

    Yup I wouldn't worry much about it, even if you didn't have a turbo. Yes it will be slow, yes 1st gear will be used at least a little. 1st is pretty high in a C6 so you'll be able to keep the revs up in the high 2000's and not be SUPER slow. And with a turbo, you will certainly be ok power...

    What prefilter to use

    Baldwin 1204 on a Racor 225 housing. The Carter 4070's used to be a great universal fuel pump, but there quality has really taken a turn for the worst. I have been bit with that several times. I would suggest that you buy a second one, and keep it under the seat in case you have a failure...

    How do y’all like to shift your ZF5’s?

    Always start in 1st, unless you are already moving a bit or starting off on a downhill grade or something. As was already mentioned, 1st is not like a granny LO like some other transmissions had. in fact, it's pretty high geared. Too high for my liking. Starting in second from a stand still...

    Finding the limits of my centrifuge and the sweet spot

    Well I also think that since you are pulling less sludge out on every pass, it is working effectively. Have you given any thought to a pneumatic oil transfer pump? They will meter down to a pretty slow flow and they last. Of course it would have to have a steady supply of air and running a...

    Electric fuel pump

    Walbro FRB-5, FRB-13 or FRB-22 (with a regulator when running a 22, as the 22 puts out more psi then our injection pumps want or need)

    which return line kit ??

    Do not use GB Remanufacturing injector install kit. The caps are too large in inside diameter. I have had luck with a few of their other products, but not their return kits

    WVO designs raw power fuge

    Very nice. I have since added a 25micron pre filter (spin on filter)in the intake stream ahead of the fuge, in attempts to do just that, pre filter a bit. I have yet to run enough volume thru it to see if it will be an efficient way to pre filter or not and how it effects flow rates. I am...

    Re-Torquing Head Bolts

    No, for re-torqueing purposes you don't remove them. You also don't just put a torque wrench on them and start torqueing. You have to "break them loose" a bit by loosening them about a 1/3 of a turn to free them up, and THEN you retorque to the desired spec. I do them in the same sequence as...

    6.9 intake valve question

    Yup so pressurized cylinder 2, and had the pressure escape from cylinder 4 valves as I opened them manually (all rockers off). So the head gasket is bad and the rotating intake valve on number 4 is no longer a concern. But I am still curious if the intake valves have rotators on these... I...

    Turning over very slow when hot.

    Yup. starter. They can fail in different ways, and this is certainly a way that they go.
