    What is this part?

    I was getting ready to do some testing to see why my cold idle isn’t working, and I saw this small box-looking thing just behind the thermostat housing. It has 4 wires going into it, is it a relay? I’d like to know what it is because it looks semi-melted and I’d like to replace it.

    Intake gaskets in stock

    Wow that was fast, they must have just found a few in the corner of a warehouse or something. Hopefully they can scrounge up some more sometime soon.

    Intake gaskets in stock

    Just wanted to let you all know that rockauto has intake gaskets in stock right now! They are listed as “wholesaler closeout” so who knows how many they actually have. Get ‘em while you can!

    4x4 Conversion

    Here’s a question related to super-duty axle swaps: Is it possible to install the rear wheel hubs from a super duty axle onto an older 10.25? In other words, keep your rear axle and only swap the hubs to have matching 8x170 wheel patterns front and back?

    4x4 Conversion

    Don’t forget the driveshafts! If the 2wd is clean and you find a rougher 4wd, you can always swap the clean body parts over to the 4wd. That’s what I’m doing :

    Rear drum tips

    I think you have your shoes mixed up. When I did mine, the top of both the front and rear shoes had an extra layer welded/riveted to the “frame” of the shoe as reinforcement, and the extra part faces outward when they were installed. If you install a shoe backward, or install a rear shoe on the...

    New injector lines

    Another thought, could they have accidentally sent you 6.9 lines instead of 7.3, or van lines or something like that?

    New injector lines

    That’s really frustrating to hear, but thanks for letting us know. I’ve had my eye on those lines, but now I’ll stick with the ones I have. My truck was missing one of the clamps when I bought it, so I made a home-made clamp like Austin recommended.

    Rear drum tips

    Is the parking brake pedal adjustment somewhere on the pedal mechanism itself, or do you mean that tensioner thing along the frame where the two rear cables meet and attach to the front cable? I just replaced my rear axle and installed all new brake parts while I was at it, including parking...

    7.3 IDI starting

    I just replaced the cable for mine, I use it when it’s below freezing. Nice to get the defrost going sooner.

    Driver's door suddenly hard to close right

    I think goat is right about the sagging door messing up the bushings. I have a set of new pins/hinge bushings that I’ll get around to replacing, they were cheap on Amazon. My door doesn’t sag too bad though, which is probably why my PEX bushings are still holding up after a year.

    Driver's door suddenly hard to close right

    It’s that plastic bushing, unless the bolts holding the door hinge got loose and shifted somehow. You can make your own bushings out of PEX tubing for a couple of bucks.

    Where to get injector copper washers in-store?

    The “early” style is a few $$$ more at advance, but my local store has these in stock. https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/delphi-diesel-fuel-injector-installation-kit-7135-264/26956742-P

    IDI Shop in Tennessee for Head Gasket Job?

    I’m glad it’s not leaking, but it’s frustrating that no shops want to touch it. Maybe look for a shop that works on heavy machinery and agricultural equipment. There are plenty of old mechanical diesels still operating on farms and job sites, and they have to get maintained somewhere. If you...

    FMV of f250 or f350 idi

    With a $10k budget you can get a nice truck, at least in my area (Ohio) Here’s an example: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/779409093388574/?mibextid=6ojiHh

    Can't tell if this is a dmf or smf

    Just find what you have on this list, and torque it to that: http://www.plazafleetparts.com/uploads/2/1/9/0/2190100/u-joint_attaching_hardware.pdf

    Can't tell if this is a dmf or smf

    It depends on what kind of u-joint connection you have. 1330 u joints vs 1350, and strap vs u-bolt retainers.

    Stripped injector base?

    I’m betting they backed out. I would use a torque wrench on one of the easier to reach injectors, then grab it with a wrench to see how tight it feels. Basically “calibrating” your hand wrenching so you can get the harder to reach ones close to 35-40 ft lb.

    My options, and your opinions.

    I’m with Bronco, if the wildcard 7.3 is in running condition I’d swap it in. If it’s no good or you can’t get your hands on it, then the next steps probably depend on how long you can afford to have your truck off the road.

    Can't tell if this is a dmf or smf

    Mine was missing as well when I installed my LUK kit. I found another post somewhere where a person in the same situation had called LUK and was told not to worry about it. I installed my flywheel without the spacer/scuff plate and I haven’t had any issues.

    Right front brake caliper always dragging-- ive changed everything!

    It sure sounds like your calipers aren’t backing off once they apply pressure for some reason. You‘ve eliminated every other cause I can think of.

    Weird oil leak on my 93 7.3 IDI

    Since the problem got much worse with an oil change, have you checked to make sure that the gasket from the old oil filter didn’t get stuck to the mounting surface and interfere with your new oil filter? I had that happen once and it leaked a lot.
