    Bought a new truck, cant get it started. No fuel coming out of the injection pump.

    My IP was dead once, or so I thought. Pull the return line off, and stick a line on the return and stick it in a bucket. See if it will run. If the return is blocked somewhere, it will not let fuel go to the injectors.

    Ignition Actuator Alignment

    I have never had this problem, except I have had the ignition switch out before(what is mounted on the column under the dash). Where the ignition switch mounts is slotted. So if you get the upper part in a different tooth, you might have to then slide the switch to get that last little bit of...

    1994 Ford Turn Signal stays in when headlights are on.

    It does sound like a bad ground. If you want to verify this, get a scrap piece of wire, stripe one end and put it on a good known ground, one of the battery negatives will work. Take the socket bulb assembly out, turn things on till it's in the failure mode, and then take this ground wire you...

    Noise abatement?

    Have you ever run it without the air cleaner assembly just running it in the driveway? Boy that intake is noisy.

    Ignition Actuator Alignment

    You can move the rack piece back and forth and then insert the key tumbler? So you can pick different teeth engagement spots?

    Noise abatement?

    Cutting the soup bowl out of the aircleaner lid really makes it noisy also. The diesel trucks usually came with extra sound deadner from the factory. Mine came with a very thick pad mounted under the hood. The mice love to chew those up.

    OD worth the $ ?

    Have you figured money wise the gear vendors versus the E4OD? I thought it was close. I know you do not like the electronic transmission.

    From what I have been told, it will be 2 inches narrower on each side in the rear compared to a pickup.

    F350 80-86 Fuel Selector Valve Connector replacement

    You have a original Ford fuel selector valve? That is amazing. I figured they were all bad by now. If you go to the store to get a new one, they will give you a new connector. Why? Because the Ford connector will not fit. The fuel lines are different also. The valve is made by Pollack...

    Temporary Roof Sealer Recomendations

    I would not use anything silicone based. You will be hating life later when trying get stuff to stick to the area later.

    No Oil Pressure on 7.3 Idi

    Even with low oil pressure, you should have something coming out of that hole with nothing screwed into it. Let's see if the guys on here know of another port you could undo to check for oil pressure. I think there is another one somewhere that they use when they add a turbo. Maybe you could...

    Manual high idle troubles

    I would try it with the engine warmed up. See what the rpm is. If it's higher near 2k like you said, then the rpm climbing is just the oil and the engine warming up. I would activate it with the engine warm, and set the rpm you would like it to be. Then it should reach that when it warms up...

    91 f350 cclb 7.idi zf5 4x4 electrical problms

    There are two negatives on my truck. Both go on either side of the front corner of the engine block. Pass battery negative goes to the pass side front corner, the driver's side battery negative goes to the driver's side front corner. As far as the sparking and smoking, that sounds like poor...

    The cooling upgrades work!

    So you were pulling on the road in 1st gear sometimes? Those 35's really kill it. That was what I was running early on. When I had the c6 and 4.10's, pulling heavy the trans would go all the way down to 2nd and I would have to force it into ist gear sometimes. I then went to the zf and...

    4WD IDI C6 are hard to find?

    Unless I have been mis-informed, it's my understanding this is not the case. Someone with a idi hooked to a school bus or u-haul SAE can confirm, but I believe those internationals have a adapter too. What I have been told, when you get to the bare idi block, it is a odd international bell...

    6.9 IDI questions

    You will notice most people on here have aftermarket gauges. The original Ford gauges that just say "normal" are pretty much useless. And then you get in the models starting around 1987, where the oil pressure gauge is not really a working gauge at all. Instead of a pressure transducer(the...

    T19 bellhousing

    If it is that easy, it makes you wonder what Ford was thinking. It had to be some sort of political reasons in the ranks of Ford Motor Co. For instance, some deal with the union and keeping foundry workers busy, or something like that.

    6.9 IDI questions

    If you are cheap like me, you can use the 15w40 from Walmart, and change the oil every 3000 miles. I use a Fram oil filter from Walmart also, they only sell the one for a powerstroke but it fits fine.

    4WD IDI C6 are hard to find?

    All transfer cases used in any year Ford use the same spline and same bolt pattern and will bolt up, except the 6 speed stuff which is different. The shifters can be different, the mounts and I do not know about the clocking thing. But any brand transfer case that was in a Ford full size, will...

    Steering shaft coupler/ rag joint upgrades

    Most people go to this in the link. Certainly, heavy duty. https://shop.broncograveyard.com/1992-1997-Borgeson-Steering-Shaft-Double-U-Joint/productinfo/32857/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=17427551999&gclid=CjwKCAiAqKbMBhBmEiwAZ3UboANYZk1R76RCI3vaoWCc76bYagoIGA0rmu6bMIAzo53jRT3IN8roQRoCtjkQAvD_BwE

    6.9 IDI questions

    Look at the size of the wire and the fuse feeding the siren. 55wx2=110w. 110w divided by 12 equals 9.16 amps. Looks like your lights are going to draw around 10 amps, so you need a 15 or 20 amp circuit with at least 14 gauge wire.

    4WD IDI C6 are hard to find?

    So the 460/c6 bellhousing on the transmission would need to be checked to see if it has enough "meat" to redrill it to the diesel pattern. So someone with a bunch of parts laying around, needs to hold up the international adapter against a 460 c6 and see what it looks like. If you had your...

    6.9 IDI questions

    That is sort of what I understand. The IP uses the incoming fuel to operate the timing advance mechanism inside the pump. When it loses the incoming fuel, it can't control the timing correctly. So you get this "surge" from the timing going wacky.

    Another "Starter not turning engine over"

    Before you crawl under the truck to mess with the starter, check your ground cables. There should be two, they go from the front of the engine block on each side to each battery. To avoid crawling under there to check the ground to block connections, you might get a decent jumper cable, and...
