    FlowKooler pump and overall pressure?

    I had the FlowKooler water pump on the 7.3 in my 86 That motor is just sitting in the corner of my shop now. Never got hot though. Would probably buy one again if my 91 needed one. But it has very low miles so it probably won’t need one for quite a while

    7.3idi Rebuild Cylinder Wear

    Whether or not the 12V is overrated really boils down to opinion. Personal preference. I have had a lot of experience with them, and while I do like them for the most part, there are plenty of things about them that I don’t like. I’ll leave Ford vs Dodge out of this, once again a matter of...

    New age headlights

    They definitely have their drawbacks, and may not be the ultimate end result, but I think they’ll do for now. I have the Bronco Graveyard Relay kit as well, for what that’s worth knowing

    New age headlights

    These are the 5700K Holley Retrobright lights. They are a white light, but seem softer than some other options. The road picture is low beams, and the picture of the truck with lights on is with the high beams on. I was standing about where I thought a truck in the opposite direction would be...

    Took some life away from my starter today

    @Old Goat He has what’s called a relocation harness, when ordering specify that you want the conversion harness. That uses a 7.3 controller and plugs. I put one on an 85, have only started it once since then but it fired right up. Mechanical fuel pump and stock fuel lines, has R&D return...

    Took some life away from my starter today

    Roderek Soest makes some really nice battery cables, his website is called ididiesel.com I have his 3G kit, battery cables, and glow plugs harness And Motorcraft glow plugs, and Motorcraft glow plug controller. He sells the glow plugs but the controller on his website is made by Standard. But...

    7.3idi Rebuild Cylinder Wear

    There is still a Dodge/Cummins guy, deep inside me, who eeks out from time to time. The 5.9 Cummins is a great engine. A little overrated but still a fantastic engine. If the Cummins you have on hand is good, the swap would cost the same or less than what it would cost to rebuild an IDI...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Today put new battery cables on, from ididiesel.com Also new Powermaster 9050. Starts extremely fast now. New fuel filter and air filter too

    Punisher valve bodies?

    Well fwiw I think they make a reasonably good product. At least from the two of their E4OD units I’ve been around. But others may have different, more in depth experience with them. BTS will cost twice as much, or more, but you do get what you pay for. If you don’t mind waiting too… I am kinda...

    Regulator Return Routing

    I think the R&D kits route it back into the inlet right in front of the e pump

    Good deal. Love the Ranch Hand bumper BTW… here’s one on a brick.

    New age headlights

    I received the Aussie brackets and trim yesterday, but shipping got delayed on the lights… sounds like they’ll be delivered on Monday at this point.

    Fuel line clogged

    I just leave the factory FSV bolted to the frame and the wiring plugged into it, so the factory switch changes the gauge to read each tank.

    Fuel line clogged

    https://www.amazon.com/GROCO-6-Port-Bronze-Fuel-Valve/dp/B00YMZ3YZM I have one of these. You should also get one. They are so very reliable compared to the electronic FSV

    Burning up fuel shut off solenoids.

    Burning up fuel shut off solenoids.

    Solar electromagnetic activity has drastically increased over the course of the last few years. It can cause all sorts of bizarre problems.

    3.55 gears vs 4.10s with gear vendors

    The governor is actually adjustable, called a minimax screw I believe. Located on the back of the injection pump. There is a thread called DB2 Tuning Guide that is a worthwhile read.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Well I haven’t ever driven it on the highway, just backroads and around the farm, poor ******* never gets much air movement so it probably gets very hot… and I am a very mean driver… my right foot gives that truck’s fuel pedal no sympathy…it has an enormous trans cooler, biggest I have ever seen...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I helped my dump truck eat another E4OD. Well… Anyone have dump truck food, er, 4WD E4ODs for sale within several hundred miles of eastern Kansas? I don’t feel like I use the truck often enough to justify a new/rebuilt unit, a reasonably good used one will probably do me well enough for now. I...

    7.3 knock

    What does the knock sound like? Raspy, clicky, thud, thunk?

    7.3 knock

    CDR valve. I would recommend either disconnecting your road draft tube from the exhaust or putting a CDR back on. It’s a crankcase vent. I would actually recommend to just start there, then see how it behaves and begin further diagnosis

    WTB 4x4 E4OD

    My dump truck likes to eat transmissions. I would like to keep feeding it, but half chewed dump truck food has gotten seemingly scarce in my area. I’m from eastern Kansas, but willing to travel a ways to feed my starving dump truck. New/rebuilt E4ODs are expensive, I rarely use my dump truck...
