    1st post. Advice on safely re-starting a 94 7.3

    Well back on topic, my fault, I derailed this 1st start thread with my snake post. Anyway, SPEAKING of snakes, I tried to "snake" my "repaired" glow plug relay harness back into place and 2 out of the 4 Accurate Diesel blue barrel ends CAME OFF the wire (they DO NOT crimp down securely and I...

    Wes, I need help

    Wes, Thanks for responding. I just need the harness at this point. I'll do the manual push button and W-R contactor later, once I confirm the engine is viable. After running it awhile I can order the other, additional wiring if thats ok with you. Just want to get this engine running again...

    Wes, I need help

    I bought and installed Accurate Diesels end plug harness fix kit for my 94 IDI, the post ends that they claim to easily heat shrink are not good, they pull out of the boot ends of the connector. They are claiming thousands of satified users. B.S. I am only one user and I cant start my engine due...

    "Me likey the whine, zerrrriiiiiahhhfff! as the pedal meets the floor... and then foot removed..." Aaahh, the sweeet sound of eventual, perpetual, pedal to the metal, marked acceleration. Rewbrooks is going to "smile, at least a mile" when he takes her on home! A genuine seen and heard...

    Yeah buddy, the rain will bring those slidebellys out of there winter holes and right into a nice warm and cozy boot, leaving them on the porch, will do the trick. Had them in my boots in the past, too. Learned long ago, a lil' mud whackin' and inside they go as SOON as those boots come off...

    Glad you mentioned the suspense part, yep, its killing me too. Been down with no transportation for darn near 3 months, and rides to town and friendships are wearing thin, lol. Hopefully, first re-start will be Saturday or Sunday ODP86. I still might need GP relay/controller possibly...

    I'm not one to ruin my own mud and tape, texture and sheetrock work I did years ago and dont want to do it all over again, so my 4-10 didn't budge from the wall mount. I'm faster than a snake with a size 14 Tony Llama fo sho'. Just never expected one indoors. I deal with em' every year on my...

    NEW-Update on my 94 E350-7.3L IDI Non-Turbo Diesel Truck/Van Well Gentlemen, It's true! Ford Trucks with 7.3L engines are the best DAMN trucks on the planet! Here's what I got accomplished: 1) Old Oil with water (1 Gallon) drained from the oil pan 2) Flushed 1x with 1Gallon diesel fuel to...

    Draining ALL the oil from block, not just the pan?

    DrCharles, No it wasn't you, sorry. It was late last night when I was reading/responding to the post and was exhausted. I amended my response to reflect that it was TTMAN4 that I was referring too. I do appreciate you agreeing with adding diesel fuel to oil pan to flush out old...

    Good to know WarNose, thanks for chiming in here. So, if the PB blaster penetrant or just plain Rotella, is just going to reach only the per-combustion area, it wouldn't matter which? Is one gonna work better/safer over the other? Also, is there any other way to pre-lube the cylinders before...

    Draining ALL the oil from block, not just the pan?

    Nope. Your kidding. You can lead a horse to water but.... Kerboom, lol. Glad nothing mechanically permenently broke but some pride, maybe. Thanks, TTMAN4, for the additional support on the "add diesel fuel to engine filler neck for oil pan sludge clean out" suggestion. Im glad you backed up...

    I'm tracking with you, this may be the issue so, P.B the cylinders, do as you suggested and see if I can fire it up. Sent from my SM-T567V using Tapatalk

    Dr.Charles/IDIBronco, My rundown for the A.M. So, I finish getting the gp's out of the front of the engine, get my largest breaker bar and 15/16" socket and ext. if needed and crawl up under the radiator area and get socket on crank bolt and turn until I make 2 or 3 revolutions of engine? 1)...

    Draining ALL the oil from block, not just the pan?

    I'll do it tomorrow. Yep on on the oil plug hole rodding, did it once, help the gunk to come out better, will do that again a few more times after diesel sits in pan. Yep on the oil swap, 2 or 3 times after a short amount of time driving it, thats if I can get it running. Still a little blown...

    Draining ALL the oil from block, not just the pan?

    You have been following my van re-start/water found in oil pan scenario. Do you think that it would be a good idea, i.e. SAFE to put some diesel fuel down the oil fill so the water/sludge can finish draining out the water that may remain as when I pulled the oil drain plug again today, what is...

    1st post. Advice on safely re-starting a 94 7.3

    Since my rig is a van and not a truck, and since the "doghouse" is removed now, this should be pretty easy to get too? I dont know what it (CDR tube) looks like or stands for (duh, on my part), and never have removed or replaced one. I'll bet that may be, at least in part, one of the culprits...

    Great to hear the good news. Glad your back in business and slow start issues are resolved. Yep. Diesels. Gotta love them, and sometimes ya wanna kick em, lol.
